    The stylized entrance.

    I was not impressed. We went in as a group of 40+, which I understand could have been hard to manage for one staff member, but we had booked days in advance so they had time to bring another staff member in if they needed it. Several things happened to convince me this place is not the best quality you can get when it comes to bowling. First, the staff couldn't handle wandering around to take drink orders, so we had to take our own drink orders up to the shoe rental area. Second, they set our lanes to time out after an hour, so they cut out in the middle of our games and lost our progress. There was nothing that could be done to bring it back even though we'd paid for two hours. So we had to start fresh and not finish a second round of games rather than having a continuous session. Finally, I'm not impressed by the very gendered restroom facilities. The woman's room was floor to ceiling pink, including painting the inside of the wood door pink. Yes, I did peek into the men's room to confirm it was blue. I know that piece is a personal preference for me, but it is not super welcoming to our queer community peers.

    Stopped by on a Friday night for my cousins birthday. Its located a nice small bowling alley. It was $40 a lane for 5 people to play for an hour and a half. Not a bad price and we didn't have to purchase bowling shoes It was optional. You can order food and drinks with the workers and they would go up to WXYZ and get it and bring it to you. It's connected to WXYZ lounge. So you can order off there menu as well. We had a good time. Have to reserve a spot online. Online it said it was $60 a lane but when we got there to pay that said $40. Parking was an issue for me because they had a event going on at the down the street from 500 Pearl.

    Hip new bowling alley in an unexpected place. The Aloft Hotel is becoming a go to spot with the rooftop bar and now this option. In the basement of the hotel is completely renovated bowling alley from 1914. The space is very modern with 6 sunken lanes and fun vibe. Shaq Lawson of the Bills was there opening night which was a bonus. Not easy to find, so ask the front desk how to get down there

    This place is for having a good time and throwing strikes with friends. Stayed pretty late. Had a…read moreblast despite the flavored tobacco smells and the babies at the bar at 11:30 p.m. This place is pretty rad. 5 out of five, would return. Great music.

    I almost feel bad not giving Manor Lanes five stars, but i'm sort of...traditionalist about these…read morethings. The food and beverage selections are good, service has been friendly, the lanes are in good working order, the ball selection is varied and solid...I have not an overtly bad thing to say about the place. I even like the cornball animations that you pose for when you begin so that they get worked into the graphics between rolls. Except this: everything costs like 30% more than at Classic Lanes, the more hardscrabble and bare-bones competition that's like a mile away, which, despite being cheaper, has, for my money, better food, along with about a kazillion vegan options, which is pretty progresssive for a bowling alley, and which Manor Lanes does not have. (Full disclosure: I'm in an informal monthly bowling group that alternates between these two bowling alleys and we have some internal dissension about which one is better, although we all agree that they are both good.) So, if you told me that I could only bowl at Manor Lanes, I'd really be fine with it. It's a nice place, and it absolutely blows away the shitty, overpriced, gimmicky AMF lanes in town. I just might prefer its slightly more blue-collar competition.

    Sometimes you get a hankering to go bowling. Sundays seem to be the day this occurs. We stopped out…read moreon a Sunday around 2 p.m. and they had open bowling. For three people, three games each and one rental of shoes, it cost about $31.00. The place has that homey Buffalo old school bowling alley feel. It's comforting. The allies were in great condition, because I bowled the best game of my life, a 182. We were given the alley right by the wall, where the door going to the back is located. An employee kept going back and forth while we were trying to bowl throughout the 3 games, and it was distracting.

    Kenmore Lanes is a proper bowling alley of the old school, with a full bar and kitchen. Food is…read moregreasy but solid (love me some tots to wash down with a frosty lager), beer is sold cheap in icy buckets, and well, you go there and throw balls at pins. What else did you really expect? I've been there as a sub on Wednesdays for my friends' bowling league. The screens and lane assignments operate a little strangely, but maybe I'm just new to league rules? The wait at the bar is semi-eternal, but the bartenders warm up once you've been around a few times. The personality combo back there isn't going to be for everyone, but I've come to like the gruff old salts slinging drinks. The liquor selection is....ehhhhhh, and Guinness seems to have always run out, but, well, there is still plenty of alcohol left at any given time. What else did you really expect? People smoke in front of the doors. If being near secondhand smoke is a deal-breaker, one might wish to bowl elsewhere (although they probably smoke by the door there, too). The lanes seem to be kept in good repair and I've encountered few mechanical difficulties relative to other comparable places. I bring my own ball and shoes, so I cannot speak to that process. There is parking both beside and across from the building. Default music choices are terrible and if your table is under the speaker, it can be annoyingly loud. There's a jukebox app that lets you pick songs, though, which is pretty cool if you're motivated enough to set that kind of thing up. Maybe it's the bowling, maybe, it's the company, and maybe it's all those things, but after three games with friends and a couple of buckets of Molson, the world seems a lighter and better place. And who could really complain about that?
