He said it's 21 and up after 8 (multiple times) I tried to pivot with paying for 2 games for the remaining time. He said no. We tried to compromise and have just the kids to a lane, it was a bumper issue. He gave the run around multiple times for multiple scenarios. Stuck, we decided to go to the arcade. Pretty expensive older machines but made the best of it. While we played the games to waste time the bouncer made it very known we had to leave at 8 ( we still had 20 minutes) we left very disappointed and feeling extremely unwelcome

All I came here for was mini bowling, and I got that in spades. It was a Sunday night, so two lanes were open with no reservation needed. I opened a tab at the bar, headed back to the awaiting lanes, and proceeded two bowl a couple games in quick succession. Unless you have a large crew, there won't be much sit and wait time, like on a regular lane. Note that it is manual scoring. They do provide a cheat sheet to help with this, and it may help as well to number your frames, just in case you get lost in all the up and down. Since it is residential, you might have to circle the block a few times to find parking, but don't let that deter you. A walk back to the car might be the perfect excuse to stop by the food truck across the street.

A Milwaukee icon on the south side! This is a legendary bar that moonlights as a mini bowling…read morealley. Location is a little sketchy, and this is definitely a dive bar at its finest, but the real star of the show is the duck pin bowling located in the back. For those not familiar, it's a much shorter, elevated lane than regular bowling. Select from different weighted, softball size balls and roll it down the lane. It's much easier than regular bowling and scores tend to be high, so it's a nice ego boost and tons of fun! And instead of a machine re-racking the pins, there are teenagers that sit back there to set them up. Tips: Cash only for the bowling which is $5 dollars a person. Make sure to tip your pin setters! Its best to call in advance to reserve a lane, but walk ins welcome. There are four lanes and you can rent one or more for an hour and a half each. They bowl super late, and is an awesome spot to hang out with a group and play a few rounds! Come knock some pins down at this legendary spot!

We visited on a Tuesday and tickets were only $8! Not sure if that was just a special, but seems damn cheap compared to typical visits to a movie theatre. The seats were comfy as can be - couch style, recline all the way back, and are headed! We saw the F1 movie (which was fantastic), and the whole surround sound system here made it that much more enjoyable. If you're looking for something beyond popcorn, candy, and sodas, they do have a restaurant attached where you can get apps, entrees, and alcoholic drinks to-go (i.e. to take into the theatre with you). I'm sure many folks in the area, like myself, are used to the Marcus Theatres where you can have food delivered to your seat, but just a heads up that isn't the case here. Seemed a bit understaffed overall, as lines were long and service was pretty darn slow, but everything we purchased hit the spot. I mean who doesn't love buttery popcorn at the cinema!?

You need to make lane reservations because there are only 2 - in the basement. They have bowling shoes that may or may not fit you. The whole place is full of vintage memorabilia and family staff has great pride in this place. Reasonable priced drinks and amazing hospitality! No food but they encourage you to order from a nearby pizza spot. It's been a stop for many famous folks (bands etc) but they have a dedicated group of regulars. It was cribbage night on our visit and the place was packed with guys (and gals) that still use words like "dupa". Not visiting this place would be a shame. Support this completely unique MKE business!

An icon in Milwaukee, and it took us many years to make it here…read more We have a current date night tradition to break us out of our normal rut by making our way through the alphabet by location each month, and we're on our second round of the alphabet, which led us to H. There are not a lot of H places on our list, and Holler House is legendary, so we figured we needed to hit it up now since it takes us about two years to get through the alphabet! We made reservations for the lanes in advance online, the owners greeted us when we arrived, shared some great history of the place and gave us some tips for ordering pizza from nearby Ned's (which we also had never tried) since we hadn't had dinner yet, and we had two hours of lane time. We learned that the back bar is the same as Wolski's, and once I heard that I recognized the stained glass motif flanking the ends of the bar. The two lanes are down a flight of carpeted stairs and there are four seats down there as well as holders on the wall for your drinks and a teeny women's room tucked off one of the lanes. Scoring is done by paper the old fashioned way unless you want to use an app. We had some friends who were willing to tag along to watch us and or/bowl some really low scores, and we had a good time. Max was our pinsetter and did a stellar job setting the pins back up and sending our balls back our way. In the bowling alley, you can play Touch Tunes, but we ended up forgoing the music and just enjoying the games and camaraderie. While we were bowling, the upstairs was transformed into a cribbage tournament space, and the place was full with players, but not overly loud despite the crowd. I noticed they had a selection of wines (and it wasn't the single serve Sutter Home/Yellow Tail), but expecting more of a dive bar selection I had already gone with vodka tonics, which were tasty at $5. Cathy made sure we were enjoying ourselves, and the owners seem to have themselves a great neighborhood place where they are carrying on the family history. If you haven't been and have thought about going, go. Do it.

(We didn't know that beforehand) However, the Reuben rolls are so good I could've gotten 4 orders of those and been happy. My husband got the crispy chicken sandwich which he really enjoyed. My main dish was a burger and fries, and the only bummer is that the burger was pretty pink and I'm a NO pink burger gal. (Ordered it well done) It took a little while to get served, but once the gal came she was busting her booty. Looks like she has most tables!
