The eight of us enjoyed ourselves on two lanes. The service was quick and welcoming . The bowling alley was clean and kid-friendly. Prices were affordable and lanes were easy to use. read more

Suburbanite Bowl - Bowling Near Me - Westmont, Illinois

Love coming here as it is much cheaper than going to Bowlero. The space is open and clean. I have been coming here for a few months now and yesterday nights bartender was not the usual pleasant one I've seen. Granted she was busy she could've been more friendly. But over all great place just call ahead to make sure there is no leagues otherwise you will have to wait for a lane. read more

My group of 7 bowled here on a Wednesday evening. We were easily able to get 2 lanes next to each other. If you're hoping to have bumpers for the kids, then they only have a few lanes to accommodate that. The bowling alley doesn't sell food, but they partner with a nearby restaurant. We ordered pizza and wings that were delivered directly to our lane...very nice! The bowling alley is very well maintained and there's a nice selection of bowling balls. Overall, we had a really good time and would definitely return. read more

We had our Sons and future Daughter-in-laws wedding show at Suburbanite. It was a great time, the staff, the facilities, food and bowling/games were all outstanding and well above our expectations. And most importantly all of our guests had a great time - from all of the wedding party to the Grandma's and Grampas. A Family and Friends / Couples Wedding Shower at Suburbanite is the only way to go. This was not your Mom's wedding shower - no sitting around opening boring gifts. read more

Walked in at 3 yesterday. I was in a group of four and there were a ton of open lanes so we requested two lanes in an effort to bowl more games. The jerk workin the counter claimed he "couldn't afford" giving up two lanes because they were so terribly busy apparently. We turned around and surveyed the lanes, attempting to illustrate just how not busy the alley was and he didn't take kindly to that "attitude". Somehow insulted, he told us to get out and refused to give us even a single lane. Lived in this neighborhood and been going to this alley for over a decade and somehow the staff get more and more surly every time I come back. Don't come here unless you have absolutely no other option. read more

Definitely my favorite place to bowl, friendly staff, definitely affordable. Plenty of leagues to choose from. Always love coming here and practicing my skills with usually freshly oiled lanes read more

I love bowling. I'm terrible at it, but I love it! However, bowling in the city gets expensive and it seems like there is never a good time to go, so we tend to head to the suburbs. Suburbanite Bowl is everything I want in a bowling alley. Granted, my standards aren't too high, because again, I'm a terrible bowler, but this is definitely my preferred spot. We haven't had food here, because we're usually heading somewhere after, but they have a decent craft beer selection. The staff is always nice and helpful and since we tend to come on a weekend afternoon, we end up in a lane away from children/families. They're pretty good about figuring out which lane to place people in. They're on Groupon from time to time, but always seem to have some sort of deal going on, especially in summer. read more

my friends and I went at 11:30 on a Friday night, the lights were off and the parking lot was empty.

When we called on the phone, the man that picked up was incredibly rude. Couldn't even finish asking my questions before he hung up. So I decided to get in my car and see if there were any openings. Wish he had answered my questions. I was told, RUDELY, there's an hour and a half wait and are extremely unaccommodating. Would not recommend unless you want to be bullied!!!! read more

Nicole is a total B. Claims she's a manager. Well she definitely managed to lose my business. It's a freaking bowling alley so I guess I shouldn't expect much but common courtesy and phone manners is a bare minimum. I haven't been bowling in awhile and I had questions. She rushed the conversation and even hung up on me while I was still mid sentence. I understand she may have been "busy" but that's no excuse for poor customer service. Very disappointed in Nicole.... read more

Fun local bowling spot! Cosmic bowling on weekends. Leagues too. Unlimited with shoes was 38$ so not terribly cheap. They have offered groupons in past for 20$. Bar and typical fried food. Pizzas are ordered in locally. It's your typical bowling spot. Very clean each time I've been there though! read more

A classic bowling alley with enough tech upgrades to keep you rolling along with ease. Offerings include a standard fried-food menu and solid depth in the draft and bottled beer menu. My frustration with this business is that they appear to not want to be in this business. Take a bit of pride in what you do: - sweep your floors, at least capture the obvious french fries and dust bunnies near the lanes - service your bathrooms - request that your employees adopt the appearance of a desire to work here read more

Highly disappointed in this joint. We called to book two lanes for a family outing and the manager said there would be no problem getting lanes and that the schedule was wide open and no need for a reservation. We showed up at alley with our group and was told they were full and holding lanes for a league. There was no apology or "oops we screwed up". Never visiting again Suburbanite Bowl, our business went to Lisle Lanes! read more

Great music! Good people, good vibes, clean restrooms, beers were cold and at perfect temp! Can't give these guys more praise!

Terrible customer service....ball return obviously malfunctioning...2 minutes to get a ball back...attitude from front desk lady...wouldn't switch our lane cause of reservations...Nobody showed up while we were there... read more

They don't make the leagues wear masks but have no problem enforcing the rule for everyone else. They walk around the whole place with no masks. read more

Met a few friends and our kids at Suburbanite Bowl for a fun night out. We loved it. It's kid friendly with good shoe selection and the nice bumpers. You can tell it also is a great place for more serious bowlers. We ordered Zazzos from across the street and got drinks from the bar it was super easy. Staff was nice and everything was clean. We'll be back! read more

Fun,local bowling! Lots of fun! Very clean and well maintained! Prices are decent and definitely great to go out with friends and have some fun! read more

Has a fun time here on a Sat night! Old fashioned bowling alley with great music. Friendly service as well.

32 lanes of fun! Clean, contemporary, and very roomy! This bowling alley has it all organized and the staff is upbeat and positive! This is a hidden gem in Westmont! Highly recommend this place to anyone seeking great vibes and a good time!!! read more

I called the bowling alley earlier in the day to see if they were open for public bowling, the young lady replied yes and then we ended the call. My husband and I went to the bowling alley around 6pm and were turned away. The young man at the front desk asked us if we had a reservation to which we responded no. He said they had nothing available due to a league bowling and existing reservations. I informed him that I'd called earlier and the young lady didn't mention that a reservation was necessary nor does the website mention or allow you to make a reservation. He said matter of factly, you need to make a reservation a day in advance; we don't have anything. This was our first time coming here and likely our last, horrible customer service. This situation did not make a good first impression. And we were really wanting to like this place because it's close to our home and reasonable priced. No thrills or frills but that was okay for us....until we had this experience. We're on the hunt for another local bowling alley. read more

For Father's Day, we took Dave's Dad bowling here, and had a great time! The place is clean. The staff is friendly. The drinks were reasonable, as were the shoe rentals and game prices. What I really liked was that the music wasn't blaring, so we were able to have a conversation without shouting. Plus, this is one of the few bowling alleys in the area that are open on Sundays. Looking forward to coming back for more family fun in the future. read more

You can't want much else from a bowling alley. It's clean, they have free wifi, a large menu and a full bar. This will be my go-to. Most bowling alleys are gross but this actually was much better. It's bar food but again, not gross. The cheese sticks were out of a frozen bag but they came out hot and cheese was not hard and very elastic. The fries were crispy and the chicken fingers were good. They don't bring out plates or napkins with the food, which is somewhat annoying. We didn't wait at all on a Sunday morning around 11am. read more

My classmates and I live in the burbs and it's really boring at night. So, the next best thing besides driving into the city is enjoying a night with our friends at cosmic bowling at Suburbanite Bowl. We arrived around 11 PM on a Saturday and were able to get two lanes next to each other easily. We were a bit confused on how to get started and didn't know that we can pay after we finished bowling. So, FYI: get a lane, get your shoes, play as many games as you want, and then pay after you're done. For a Saturday night rate, I paid $9 for shoes and two games, which is pretty cheap. They have bar and kitchen here but the kitchen closes at midnight. They have special deals on shots but the cheaper ones ran out so we couldn't get the $2 shots and had to upgrade to the $3 shots. The lanes were clean and did not malfunction; the machines are easy to work with. Definitely would come back! read more

Unwelcoming, rude patrons, children running amok, snack bar closed. I was thinking about joining a bowling league team here but after spending 5 minutes in this place being harangued by "regulars" and passive aggressively chastised by league staff for having wet shoes because I had walked thru a puddle of beer someone else's dispenser had leaked all over the floor... Yeah, hard pass. read more

I woke myself up at 4 AM to come here to bowl. Just for them to turn off my lane for two bowling balls at once. Very disappointed and the guy is butthurt. He But they had good French fries tho but still I'm butthurt Also He read more

This bowling alley looked okay from what I saw, but I was never able to bowl. I had called this alley on a Saturday night around 6 PM to ask if they had lanes available after my first choice informed me that they had leagues playing until 10:30 PM. They told me that they had open lanes all night long and that I wouldn't need a reservation. We arrived about 7:45 PM and were told that all the lanes were currently full, but that it should only be about a 10-15 minute wait. No problem, we went over to the bar and got a drink or 4 before realizing that we had waited an hour. We went back to the desk and a different person told us that we could be waiting all night long as all of the bowlers had purchased the $13 per person all you can bowl package which allows you to bowl all night until 2 AM. Great deal for those who want to bowl all night for cheap, bad deal for those who don't get a lane early enough. We wish that the first person had told us this an hour ago and we didn't waste our time and money in this bowling alley's bar. We ended up going to our first choice alley which by this time had lanes available. read more

I went twice to this location to play with my kids we had a Coupon and they didn't let us in claiming that we needed a reservation but that was ok for me and when I asked for a refund they start acting rude very bad employees and customer service I'll never ever go back again . read more

Great old-school style bowling alley. It's clean, it's well-maintained, the prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. I came with my dad and brother for some family fun times. We bowled two games and were pleasantly surprised to find out they were $3 each per person instead of the advertised $5 on weekends (fall special!). It's $3.50 for shoes. I'm a terrible bowler, but I enjoy it, and this is the sort of place I enjoy doing it in. The equipment is not new (the between-frame animations were from 1995) but it's clearly well-kept and doesn't look busted or run down at all. We didn't have any food or anything to drink, but I did peer at the bar menu; no craft beer here, but some decent drink specials. Typical fried food to eat in that regard. read more

Wow-wow-wee-waa! This place has made some great changes in the last few years! A little nerdy, lesser known fact about me: I bowl. Competitively. I bowled on a Saturday morning league here in my youth while my regular league was on hiatus. When I was in high school, we competed here regularly against Hinsdale Central, as this was their home lanes. Now, I'm back and bowling on a Monday night ladies league! In my youth, this place was pretty dumpy. Staff never really knew what was going on or how to fix things nor were they particularly friendly. Lanes were never oiled, the smell of smoke had settled in from years of use before the law went into effect, and it was not some place I chose to bowl regularly. I went back for the first time in probably 5 years to start my league. This place has made a TOTAL 180. First of all, the lanes are brand stinking new. They look great and they are regularly oiled. The backdrop is see through, allowing you to watch the pinsetters do their business. They got brunswick brand scorekeepers and graphics. They took away the ceiling and it has exposed wood which I think looks stellar. Apparently, they're having a pro-shop open up within the next few weeks, too! Only thing keeping me from 5 stars is that the staff seem to have not changed too much from the past. They were definitely more friendly, but still have a few kinks to work out before I throw a 5 star their way. In terms of food service, I had to wait over 5 minutes to get a pepsi that cost me $2. Might not seem too bad, but if you bowl on a league, you know how much this can throw everyone off. The new foodservice area is located away from the front desk so no one can see customers until a line is forming. In terms of service, I seemed to be the expert when there was a problem and had to help staff do a couple of things on the screens. No big though, those things can be tricky, and the majority of the kids behind the counter looked like they were in high school. read more

Very bad service, bartending and staff. Very rude and unprofessional people working, people that work there are fancy enough to demonstrate their attitude and mood of their day. Been there 8 times in total most of the time had bad experience with staff. All bowling balls are old and damaged as well read more

This place is pretty cool. Plenty of lanes with tables for the bowlers and elevated tables for spectators. They have a snack shop where you can order pizza and other snacks & a full bar area. During the week they have an all you can bowl option for only $10 a person. If you're a bowler, you know what a steal that is! The lanes are clean, the workers are friendly & the beer is cold! Give em a shot. read more

Had my son's birthday party here a couple of years ago and wasn't impressed. A few weeks ago came back for his friend's birthday party and let's say not a whole lot was changed. Took 20+ minutes to get all the bowling shoes. Then when it was time to serve food, some kids didn't get theirs until the others were finished. At the end of the day the kids had lots of fun, which is what really mattered. Still leaves lots of room for improvement. read more

Bowling? Check CCR? Check Exposed pinsetters? Check Ice Cold Coors Light? Check Clean bathrooms? Mostly (visited both men's rooms only, no bells and/or whistles) Decent house for competitive or recreational bowlers. read more

I think my friends and I have found our go-to place on Friday nights. UNLIMITED bowling for $13 from 9:30pm - 2:00am, including shoes. What awesome deal is that? Bring your balls because I'm taking them for a strike (har har har) read more

They overserve alcohol at the bar to people who are obviously extremely intoxicated, both visibly and by behavior. I've been coming here a long time and have dealt with it before on several occasions. This time, however, I was confronted with the threat of a physical altercation accompanied by homophobic slurs and degrading (while extremely slurred) verbal threats. The manager told us we had to either change lanes or leave. This gesture clearly indicates that this sort of behavior is, at least condoned, if not encouraged. read more

Came here for an after work event. Clean bowling alley. Pizza is thin and not much better than frozen.

Great place to come when you just want to bowl, hang out with friends, and have fun. Prices are decent, alley and bathroom are clean, very friendly staff. Con: the rental shoes are pretty worn, but it's probably a better investment to buy your own anyway (they pay for themselves super fast considering rental prices). read more

Called on Saturday to see if Sunday morning bowling was available. Person answering the phone said there would be no problem early and no reservations needed. Showed up with my small group and was rudely tol there was nothing available and you had to have a reservation. There were only 3 lanes being used at 9:30 when we arrived.woman at front desk was extremely rude and condescending to my bowlers. Will NOT ever go back. read more

This bowling alley offers cheap bowling on reliable lanes. We go here frequently with our 8 and 5 year old because they offer a $9 all you can bowl special on the weekends. I planned a surprise birthday party for my husband's 30th birthday at Suburbanite. Justin helped me out from start to finish and helped me plan a wonderful party. The food was excellent and I was at ease knowing that everything was taken care of for me. We had many out of town guests who complemented the service and how the bowling alley looked and operated. I would book a party here again for sure! read more
