The food is fine bar food, but as great as the staff is I don't feel like I would make a special trip for the food. They do have lots of room for a group, so we enjoyed the happy hour and the drinks are great! read more

Good food, good bowling- but bring your own bowling shoes! We had the Nokomis Chicken Salad and the Buffalo wings. The wings had really nice flavor and weren't too spicy- nice juicy meaty wings. The salad was good as long as you read the description and don't expect traditional "chicken salad" or a healthy salad. The salad has tons of flavor with the dressing, lots of delicious bacon bits, and chicken strips. Not fine dining, just tasty bar food. We had a big party but the service was accommodating and quick. They didn't make us feel bad for having a growing party as people trickled in. I would describe this as a bar/ restaurant with bowling lanes - not necessarily a true bowling alley. The lanes are nice and well kept, but a little cramped. The rental shoes are pretty chewed up and neither mine or my husband's had any slide left in them. My guess is the floor texture outside the lanes chewing up the shoes. If you have your own shoes definitely bring them. read more

We met friends here for dinner. They had coloring books and crayons for my child and great food options - I can't wait to try the pulled pork. We went bowling after and the attendant was very helpful with figuring out the bumpers for the children in our group. read more

Great affordable tasty food and love the root beer they make on site. Like the specials they offer for variety.

Plates with food came out dirty.. Ketchup on the bottom, stained on the top.. Uncooked eggs on two of four brunch dishes.. Uncooked hash browns.. we left hungry.. read more

Super fun bar and bowling alley! We came here with a couple of friends on a Thursday night to hit the lanes and grab some dinner. Food was decent, pretty standard bar fare. Service was a little slow, but it was packed so that might not be the norm. It was great that you can put your name on the list for Bowling while having dinner. It speeds up the process. Bowling prices are great! I like that it's per person per game and not timed like a lot of Alleys are doing these read more

I spent over $150 there bowling with my boys and eating dinner afterwards. Unfortunately, I let my card there by mistake and had to pick it up the next day, in the afternoon. The morning that the restaurant had my card, there were several charges at a smoke shop, holiday gas station, and a Cub supermarket. I know when the card was used exactly at the gas station and will pursue this. Never going back there again. You shouldn't go there either. If you do, pay cash and watch your wallet. read more

I hesitate to recommend only because it will make it busier!!!! They do have weekend brunch. I couldn't find an online menu but came on Sunday shortly after 11am Bartender was hustling. Bowling was busier than dining area at first. Took a seat at the bar and got a good basic bloody my wife got a mimosa it was heavy on the oj side. Had the breakfast pizza. Holy sh*#t. Awesome and plenty for two people! Just enough attention, not an over hovering bartender. She was great. Found a weekend breakfast place since BH down the street decided to open at 4pm:( Nice work TH. I'm a fan!! read more

Town Hall Lanes - Brunch menu - Gastropubs Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Fun atmosphere and good food. Cheese curds were delicious and they had the right beers on top.

Food and Fun While visiting my brother in Minneapolis, we happened upon Town Hall Lanes. We planned on bowling then finding a place to eat dinner. We arrived and surprisingly had to walk through a restaurant to get to the lanes. Considering that they were clearly a restaurant too we looked at the menu as we prepped for a late afternoon bowlapalooza. We found several items on the menu that looked good, ordered them then proceeded to bowl. The service was fast and polite, the food was way better than we expected for a bowling alley so we ordered more and nixed dinner plan in favor of a longer bowling outing. The atmosphere is equal parts modern conveniences, elegance and decadence mixed with vintage bowling ally. It's artfully styled. The menu was definitely built on the idea of old bowling alley convenience food but it's curated and elevated both in flavor and appearance to match the exacting standards society has for gastro pubs. We enjoyed our time at Town Hall Lanes if was both fun and sated our dinner cravings. Town Hall Lanes was not crowded, parking was easy and ample. The prices were reasonable and the food was really good. We enjoyed the care that THL gives to every aspect of a customers experience. If you're in the area it's an easy all inclusive night out. read more

Kitchen open until 11pm cheap and delicious house beers, and cheap bowling too! I've been here thrice now, and ordered food each time and experienced good service. I previously had the sweet corn nachos and also tried the pork nachos. I want this place to do well because it's a great local bar with good atmosphere and personable staff. I may be biased because I'm just a walk away, I don't think I'd drive very far to come here, but I think they're a great spot to take a group of 4 for a trivia night and game of bowling for cheap! Also have to repeat that their house beers are cheap and delicious! Have yet to be disappointed with flavor, and at 5.5-7 a pint I don't think it gets much better priced than that! read more

Town Hall Lanes is a great place for pizza, beer and bowling, however not so great for the service. But if your a patient person by all means stop in. The pizza was actually pretty good and the have some nice beers on tap.

It's a nice looking place, but we had some concerns. We both bowled the worst we have in years. Maybe first thing on Sunday the oil on the lanes is too much. I have never needed to wipe my hands and ball so much. Then when I went to the counter to return my shoes and pay, the guy there walked away. Then a woman who'd brought water to us gave us a bill and didn't bring me change. We didn't understand how they do things, I guess. We opted not to stay for lunch. read more

Small place, clean. Go in and get lucky. Reservations cost an additional 100% on bowling lanes - plus, the marked up bowling, shoe rental, food and drink will all be charged 18% gratuity. Many non-service items taxed gratuity on top of reservation fees, included with mediocre service. Lanes were dry, but the technology was good. I can't think of anything to say about the food. read more

The food was good! The service was good! Went on a Tuesday evening and were the only ones bowling. The real only disappointment was being told that bumpers are only for kids. Not all of us are experienced bowlers and found it a bit awkward to be told we can't have an even playing field. I don't think bumpers are just for kids and wanted everyone in my party to feel welcome. Will probably return since it was clean, good service, and enjoyable. Although that one small part will change my viewpoint on the entire visit unfortunately read more

Food is great, bowling is cheap and not too crowded, lots of free parking nearby. Restaurant and bowling alley are separated so your meal isn't disrupted by any bowling. Definitely will return! read more

Nice and close to my house. I can walk there and like that a lot. Never gone bowling there, but the food is good.

My favorite bowling alley. I've been here probably 20+ times and it is always fun. The best part is bowling in a cool, quaint, vintagey atmosphere instead of one of the mega-lanes. The woodwork is pretty, the bar is a great place to hang if you need to wait for a lane to open, and it's the only bowling alley I've ever seen with a chandelier. I kid you not, check out the pics. No ugly fluorescent lighting here, nope, this place steps it up a notch. I do recommend coming at an off time (weekdays), as there are only 10 lanes. Also, call ahead to make sure there is open bowling instead of leagues. But even on a busy open weekend night like tonight, it's worth the wait. There's a restaurant attached to the bar if you need a burger, flatbread, nachos, curds, or whatever else suits your fancy for good bar food. Or just enjoy a cocktail, wine, or the fairly substantial beer list (local and national beers, and even their own brews!). Did I praise it enough yet? It's always clean, has wooden benches instead of typically bad plastic bowling chairs, the servers check up on your frequently when your glass gets anywhere near empty, and it features 10 high quality, well-maintained bowling lanes, with polished floors. Like, sometimes, almost too well polished, but I'll take slick in comparison to some other junky places that feel dirty everywhere. Overall, a way better bowling experience than most lanes. I'd call it a strike! read more

My wife's parents' flight was delayed, so we (naturally) took to Yelp to figure out what to do for a couple hours while we waited for them. Our search led us to Town Hall Lanes, and we are really glad we chose to stop by. This is a really fun place to hang out, bowl, watch a game on one of their many TVs, and (of course) enjoy one of their many beers. They have a great happy hour, both for food/drink and for bowling, and this place makes for a really fun but really cheap date night if you come later in the evening on a weekday. The inside is absolutely HUGE: not only are there almost a dozen bowling lanes, but there are also a large number of tables and a beautiful bar. They offer a lot of different bowling specials, but the $2 per game price after 10 on weekdays can't be beat. The happy hour beer and food specials are great too: we enjoyed a couple beers each, had some chips and salsa, and bowled a few games for just slightly more than $30 with tax and tip. The staff is super friendly and accommodating; we really enjoyed interacting with all of them. In summary, we were really impressed with our impromptu "date night" at Town Hall Lanes, and we'll definitely be back again! read more

QUICKIE REVIEW Local bar with a healthy beer selection and place to bowl. FOOD This is what I tried: -Brewer's double -beer   A decent burger with fries.   Nothing much more to say than that. Beer on the hand, they have a "healthy" selection of.   If you are a beer lover, you will the atmosphere here. PARKING Yes, across the street. SERVICE Ok. PRICE $20 will get you a burger and a beer. TIP/OTHER THOUGHTS Atmosphere here was relaxed.  I came on a trivia night and it was fun to partake, unofficially .   Bowling alley added to the fun, relaxed vibes of the place.   You are not coming here for the food but more so the relaxed social environment it offers. read more

A great place to spend with family or friends. The atmosphere is fun and alive. Also the service is outstanding!

This place is one of my favorite places! I've been here a number of times but that was before I started Yelping a lot. I love to bowl so we used to come here all the time! I love the bowling lanes here! The service is great and one of my favorite gluten free beers are here, New Grist. We've never had a full meal here but the fries are fire and they have really good wings! Also did I say the service was great?! Everyone here is awesome! The restaurant itself is super cool and old looking the bar is beautiful and they have a giant chandelier in the middle of the room. Also a good place to watch sports, bowl, eat and drink! 5 stars from me I love this place :) read more

Don't expect any type of responsiblity for a mistake the staff at Town Hall Lanes make. Phoned in an order for take out, My husband goes picks it up (10 min drive). While he is driving home, the staff calls to tell me that there is no pork on the pork nacho's....She suggested he come back to pick it up. Ummm...I said the rest of the food will be cold in the mean time. Her only recourse was to take the price of the nacho's off the already paid bill...Big Deal. My husband brought back the box of chips that contained nothing but chips, mad, grumpy from being hungry for dinner he did not get. Her only response..." it was a simple mistake"..Well, Town Hall , your lack of sympathetic staff cost you our business. Two trips to your place in a half-hour could have been avoided. read more

SPOILER: Wrongly accused of stealing! I will never go to Town Hall Lanes again. I have been here a couple of times to bowl/eat. Always had a decent time. Very recently we had a horrible experience with the bartender (after not IDing our party) accusing us of not paying our tab. However, we paid our waitress and had generously left a 30% tip. Not only did he wrongly accuse us of trying to leave without paying but then proceeded to verbal assault us. And no employee stepped in when random old white men tried to "provide their entitled wisdom" and step in.... only after getting our waitress did we finally have to ask for an apology. Absolutely appalled by the situation and obvious discrimination. I would give town hall and especially the bartender a negative rating if possible. read more

Great relaxed, neighborhood environment with high ceilings, good music, beautiful back bar and friendly staff. The restaurant (pub) is connected to a renovated, stylish and smallish bowling alley (or is the bowling alley connected to the restaurant?...I'm confused.). In any case, it all works! I chose the Ragamuffin chicken sandwich ($12) from the good- sized menu. It included a homemade sauce, that was very tasty, along with beer battered fries (see photo). By the way, the menu includes a number of other interesting sauces At least one of which, will likely suit your taste. Lots of beers (and some wines) are available so no one from your party should leave thirsty. Beer is a big deal here so enjoy it. This was a great find. While you're in the neighborhood, go nextdoor and get a haircut from Kristin at Bob's Barber Shop and, naturally, bring some shoe spray and bowl a couple of games. read more

Came here with my wife on a friend's recommendation, and wasn't disappointed. Parking is tight, and overflow edits sets but it's around the corner. That said, it's really the only negative we had. We both had the black bean salsa burger? My wife had the sweet potato fries on the side and I had the asparagus. It's was hearty and filing and didn't crumble, unlike most black bean burgers I've tried. The service was great and the food came out fast. If recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal at a good price. read more

Needed a place to bring the kids on a day they didn't have school, and this was awesome! The inside is really nice, and they have updated technology for the bowling lanes. Bumpers for the kids and brews for the adults. It's a bit pricy, but worth it. Full service at the lanes, too. I got the naan curry tacos (is that what they're called - I don't remember?) and they were amazing. Kids got tenders and noodles and liked it. Would come back! read more

We ate here last night and enjoyed a couple of excellent happy hour beers they brew right there. Had a couple apps also The Pretzel and some wings. Both were good but the Blue Cheese dressing wasn't for me. I like a thick rich creamy chunky dressing, this was thin and tangy. Had a Hildburger and Tater Kegs, and wife had a Flatbread. Burger and flatbread were really with good but the Tater Kegs I did not like at all. Seemed underdone and starchy. Definitely would go back here and eat and drink. read more

I am going to give them four stars to start because I LOOOOOOOVE the Town Hall. The atmosphere did not disappoint. The space was nice and open, the a/c felt lovely and the energy in the place was amazing. I gotta say, the bowling lanes were not as noisy as I was expecting and the table set up at the lanes is pretty awesome if you have a group of friends. This area of town seems to be a bit more friendly too, with people willing to start up a conversation with a complete stranger. Maybe it was the awesome brew they were serving. I think I could get to like this place! The food was amazing and came out a lot faster than I was expecting on such a busy night. MUST try the lamb shank burger and the fried green tomatoes!! Now for the slight critique. I know it was opening night and they were extremely busy, but three beers the whole night (we were there from about 7 p.m. until 1 a.m.)? That was a little crazy. My credit card sat on the bar as people rushed by for a good hour before I took it away for fear someone else might accidentally grab it, thinking it was theirs. I was at the Tap opening (which was equally insane) and was at least served throughout the night. Again, opening nights can be crazy and I'm a huge fan of TH, so I'll be back, but I'll be watching for better service as people get into the swing of things. read more

I won't pretend that there is even an iota of objectivity in this review, as I've been a big fan of Town Hall for quite some time and have spent quite a bit of time becoming less sober at the Lanes location specifically. The beer, as with the other Town Hall locations, has always been the primary draw for me (they don't brew on site, but they have a number of taps featuring the beer they brew at the mothership location in downtown). They also have a large selection of guest craft beers and ciders. From a dining perspective, the menu has improved with time, and overall THL serves good pub grub. The flatbreads are the standouts for me, but you can't go wrong with the burgers either. As implied in the name, there are ten lanes available for you to channel your inner Lebowski. The bowling alley is new and modern, as they pretty much gutted the lanes that existed prior to Town Hall moving in. The staff are great, with many of them being members of the growing Town Hall empire for quite some time. They've tolerated my dumbassery on many an occasion, so they're clearly saints. Fuck it, Dude. Let's go bowling. read more

I love this place. It's a lively, inviting, and fun local spot. My sister, Kim B., lives in the area so we come here frequently. Today we did some yard work and figured we would reward ourselves with a walk that landed us at the front door. We had an early dinner and a couple tap beers. The beer selection is always fantastic, and I've never been disappointed with the food. Today was a brat with kraut and spicy mustard and house fries, so good. Kim (being vegan) always gets the veggie sandwich. Considering we've be here a half dozen times together and she has been there at least that many times without me, that must one damn good sammy. Service was a little slow today, but that isn't normal. It won't keep me from going back either! read more
