    Ok, a bowling alley with a full pro store next door and a Mexican restaurant attached PLUS full bar and foodservice inside!? Yes I will be coming back here. $10 per person plus $5 for shoes ($4 and change) it was great for our party of 13 bowlers along with family and friends. The staff was very friendly and they were quick to help with whatever we needed. I didn't order any food, but I did have a few drinks from the bar and the pours were not skimpy!

    **APPARENTLY THIS PLACE CLOSES AT 1 AM NOT 2:30AM LIKE YELP STATES** I say this because my boyfriend and I went one night and got there about 12:15 and the rude guy behind the counter told us they stopped giving out lanes at midnight. We questioned the 2:30am closing time per our phones showing that and he said that Yelp charges around $300 to update their closing time so they chose not to do it. SOOOO don't be alarmed if you show up and they send you packing. So in knowing what we know above now....Western Bowl seems to be one of the nicest bowling alleys in the Cincy area. I LOVE their moonlight bowling! The place has such an old school feel, and all of the balls are fun colors so they glow for moonlight bowling! Staff can be hit or miss depending on who's working it seems. I can't say anything about the bar or food served, but looking at other reviews they seem like they'd be good! Bowling and shoe rental is pretty cheap. The place also seems super clean compared to other bowling alleys I've been to. This is our go to place now (Just before midnight)!

    We always have a great time when we bowl here! The alleys are very nice & kept up. The concessions are good & the pro shop has great stuff.

    I found out on this visit that I am terrible at duck pin bowling (which obviously did not effect my…read moreview of this place) and still had so much fun! Even after growing up in central Ohio, where pins started, I had never been to one before. This one in Cincinnati looks small on the outside, but has three floors and a basement once you get inside. The bowling is on the first and second floors, and there are many arcade games on the third floor and basement. My group all ordered drinks from the bar. I had a cocktail and found it very well made. It is not often you find a place like this with good entertainment and good service. We bowled two games but the second got cut short due to an event that closed the 2nd and 3rd floors. To compensate us, the team gave us all a coupon for a free game, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, I am happy I finally got to try duck pin bowling and would love to come back (to practice of course). This is a great place for meeting friends, having and event, or simply relaxing after work.

    Great date place. We had so much fun! Get the Mango Cart and go upstairs to sit by the fire pit and…read moreviews. Then slide down to level 3 for Reds baseball and some pinball Only thing missing is Skeeball
