I recently celebrated my birthday here with my family and manager Jenni and team member Brian made it extra special. Jenni brought me a cookie with a birthday candle, and Brian made an announcement to recognize my birthday which made me feel extra special. I come to Bowlero regularly and this is just one recent example of how the staff are phenomenal and make every visit special. Thanks so much to the LZ Bowlero team!

We had the 2 kiddos in tow for a Wednesday and learned that arcade games at Bowlero are 1/2 priced…read moreon Wednesdays.  Yaay for the lucky kiddos!  Anyway, I also found that the various Bowlero's in our vicinity have different hours on Wednesday, I guess due to local business demand.  This Bowlero opens 1pm-11pm on Wednesday, whereas the Bowlero Mount Prospect opens 2pm-11pm and the Bowlero Niles opens 4:30pm-11pm.  So we trekked up here as the earlier the better it was for us on this hot summer day.   Brian and Chris were the fine and helpful pair of staffers on duty and Brian explained the arcade workings for us as we've never been in a Bowlero (though the kiddos have) - checking the kiddo's card balances, the value of the games, showing us the remaining balance display, unjamming a machine when needed, etc. We had the arcade area to ourselves and the kiddos had an energetic blast for about an hour.  We loaded on $10 for each of them and they also each had about $8 on their existing cards.   So it seemed they spent about $36 in an hour and that seemed a bit expensive to me, especially for a 1/2 price Wednesday.  They did earn some trinklets with their ticket winnings though and these are dispensed from a self-service Prize Hub machine.  For what it's worth I remember getting an hour's worth of arcade entertainment for the 2 at Chuck 'N Cheese for $20, and we now have a basis for comparison anyway.  One of the kiddos said the arcade here is bigger than the one at Niles, and we also heard separately that the Buffalo Grove arcade is quite large also. As far as bowling here goes, they have 40 nice and shiny lanes. Weekday games are $6 and weekend games are $10.  Shoe rental is $6.  I don't see us bowling at a Bowlero but it could fit your family's interest or needs.  I'll go with 3 stars as Bowlero seemed about an average value from this experience, but the kiddos had a grand time in any event.

Good vibes, good drinks, and a great time! Four bowlers, three games, and $91--not bad at all!…read moreEveryone was lovely, and having a bar makes it even better. Keith was such a treat, and we'll definitely be back for more! Bonus: better hours than Bowlero, which is less than 10 minutes away. Definitely worth checking out!

When we arrived majority of the lanes were occupied but we were able to get a lane pretty quickly. There is a bar located about 3/4 into the building and a food area at the end of the building next to the aracde. We ordered food: pizza, onion rings, and mac-n-cheese bites. The onion rings we crisp and the batter was not too think, it was just the right amount. The pizze was a thicker thin crust and tasted good. The pizza was tasty which can be hot or miss at a bowling alley. The night was really fun and I am excited about my friend's son and the next chapter of his life.

It also is a place to get your eating on, if you like the greasy stuff. Also a place to watch games. The bathrooms are horrible but that adds charm to the old place. A ramshackle looking kind of place upon going in. It's actually better than many of the other bars in town. This is located pretty close to the lake but it's still a bit of a walk. Of course it's popular in warmer months. The locals take over at other times. It's about $7 for a basic cocktail. They have the usual types of whiskey. It's about $5 to get an appetizer. The most interesting of these is the Beer Fries. Among the entrees are burgers. There's a few other things for those brave enough. For certain it's one of the local hangouts to get booze. It's got the basic bar foods. This is open daily and even better it's also later.

I've had some work done at a couple other pro shops in the area and have not really been impressed. Arlington has Carl. I have no idea how long Carl has been drilling, but I am guessing we are into decades. He is polite, funny, and very thorough. Carl will get all of my drilling work from here on. After drilling, I grabbed a lane to test the ball and fit. Ok, so if you are looking for digital displays, the latest scoring system or hipster-trendy fun, this place is not for you. Technically, it's dated. But it's clean and the staff were very friendly. The lanes have a lot of seating area, and not the staggered, cram too many tables into each lane area seating that is becoming too common now. It's old school, "sit back and chat while your buddy takes a turn" seating. I get the feeling that helicopter parents and exuberant "scream for every strike" types are not really the norm here. That's all good in my book. This is an alley in the spirit of the Dude or Uncle Buck. The equipment is a little on the rickety side, but it works. The decor is old, but not failing. Aside from the automatic scoring system, this is what bowling used to be. No ego. No hype. Shut up and bowl, Donny.

I love this place, it's for lovers of bowling who want to feel the nostalgia of a local bowling alley. The rates are pretty good too, $20 for 2 hours, with shoes! Will definitely be back, but make sure you call ahead to see the wait times... those lanes fill fast!
