Paradise Lanes, located in the bowels of a stripmall on 17th Ave SE, is a no-frills 5-pin bowling…read morealley. No bells, no whistles, just 18 lanes and a lot of formica. Let's call it a "true bowlers" bowling alley. No catering to young hipsters with glow bowling or theme nights here. It's strictly old school. And old school was definitely in session when I was there. I'd put the median age of the patrons at about 65, which is kinda cool in its own way. The prices are reasonable (It costs $5 per adult per game) and the alley is extremely well lit and clean. They are also a licenced establishment. So, if living in the fast lane ain't your bag and you're a serious, no-nonsense bowler, than Paradise Lanes and its no-frills approach may be right up your alley.

First went bowling and they cannot accommodate a person with weak hands. Found balls which would…read morework but they were taken away as they are only for VIP's. Decided to try some food. Fries were good but they did not bring condiments we asked for so we had to find them. Then tried a pulled pork sandwich. Specifically asked for no jalapeños but guess what, got a mouth full of jalapeño and when spoke to server they didn't care and went oh well. Only come here is you want to be dissatisfied and disappointed.

Wanted a place to bowl with friends and some other places I looked at were expensive . This place is convenient location and cheap . For less than $10 including shoe rental you get an hour of fun . Yes the place is as old as the mall itself and the decor hasn't changed and they still take reservations in logbooks but I don't mind old fashioned if the price is affordable

Came here on a Sunday because my son had a birthday party that he was invited to that was here. Him…read moreand his friends had a couple of lanes booked on the 5 pin side. Since there were some parents there some of us decided to go on the 10 pin side and bowl a few games. I used to come here as a little kid and it was very nostalgic coming back. It was very retro and they had lights dimmed. Place while old was very clean. Kids enjoyed bowling and the party room. The concession side was very diner like which I love. Everyone enjoyed their time. Lanes and balls were well maintained. Will definitely have to come back.

Paid $70 for 1 hr of bowling. Paid another $35 for fries and 12 wings. Many staff working but…read moreservice was terrible. The bowling lane app had other profiles added on and couldn't figure out how to delete. Spent the first 15 minutes trying to enter the players on the app. No help arrived. Then the balls were not returning. Took another 15 minutes to get a staff member to attend to the ball issue. After we finished our one rushed game our time was up. I told the manager on the way out that it wasnt a very good experience and why. He thanked me for the feedback...but offered no remedy or any return or coupon to retain customer. Never going back.

On top of that, the score keeping was inaccurate numerous times, which we also let them know but they didn't seem to care as they offered zero solutions. Certainly not worth the $70.
