The staff and Brittany were/are amazing! The lanes were well maintained and the building was clean!

I can't speak about the food here, since I didn't order any, but the old-school vibes and the affordable shoe and lane rental prices earn 5 stars. I stopped here on a weeknight, and there were a bunch of lanes open. Everything was really clean and I really loved the vibes here. We had a great night out. read more

I really wanted to rate Wheat Ridge Lanes higher, but my friends and I waited for 2.5 hours and still never got a lane. We hung out at the adjoining bar instead, enjoying delicious greasy food until our stomachs hurt. The fried pickles and mozzarella sticks were particularly notable, as well as the entertaining vintage artwork hanging on the walls. I'm guessing the key is to bowl during off hours, aka not Friday evening. Or visit when it's warmer to enjoy the fun games on the outdoor patio I totally missed. Customer service was decent - I'm sure peak times can feel quite stressful! I loved the vibe overall, just didn't expect to have to wait that long for nothing. Or park several blocks away. read more

Classic friggin spot. The alley has a vintage feel. Great nostalgic bowling art everywhere. The bar or the "Wheatridge Country Club" is amazing. The food is great too. Normally I order the same thing over and over at most restaurants - but I think I need to try EVERYTHING on this menu. Holy Cow. Something for everyone here. Cornhole. Shuffleboard. Cravable food. Ball Polisher. I filled up my fanny with surprises. Thank you. read more

The vibes at this place are amazing. It feels very old school bowling nostalgic. There are 10+ lanes so we got there early on a Friday night to snag a spot without a wait. If you come later, expect a wait. Seats up top, lanes at the bottom. No food or drink near the lanes so you do have to move around a lot if you plan to play and eat at the same time. Staff were great, typical bar food and beer you would expect at bowling. Great night out as a group. read more

Establishment was actually really great and fun, staff seemed great EXCEPT for 1 Major problem - - 2 cooks behind the counter, 1 bearded, one Scratching his bare belly, tshirt up with bare hands and then proceeded to touch food serve and cook, no hand washing or minute attempt to clean his hands. Yukkkk. No hair nets, no gloves, our party absolutely could not order food from this establishment for these reasons. They had a nice patio out front with cornhole, darts, patio tables and chairs.. indoor bowling was really fun, but we would never order the food there now. Eat first then go maybe...? read more

Funky place lots of fun. Great bday party for my wife & friends! Old school and inexpensive too!

We love Wheat Ridge Lanes. The interiors, 1950s feel is amazing. Staff is great and so is the read more

This place is exactly what you look for in a bowling alley. Great beer, carpeted floor, smells like cigarettes. Had a great time and will be back read more

This place used to be amazing and we went all the time. Now you can't ever go bowling. It's leagues which I get bring in a ton of money. But on non leagues you can't get a lane. There is no way to make a reservation and most people can't just hang out for hours waiting for a lane. They have out grown their small place charm and need to figure out how to do better in managing the crowds. read more

I thought this place was so great! We had a party of 6, showed up at about 630 and we bowled 3 games.. we got there when there wasn't a wait so it was easy to get 1 of the 12 lanes. The whole vibe of the place was great. It was like retro, dive bar style. Lanes on one side with a bar/food. And a bar on the other side. We didn't venture into the other side but I'm sure it's cool. We had a blast bowling, they played good music, the fries were superb and the staff was super nice. It's definitely a little squished for space but hey what can you do. Can't wait to go back! read more

The staff is so friendly and personable, it's a pleasure to go there. I don't bowl anymore but enjoy going to watch my friends bowl and have a good time. read more

I've been here for or five times so far, always with at least one ten-year-old on hand. It's a most wonderful time capsule of the eighties, right down to the music ... but without the ashtrays, beer rot, or overwhelm of cologne and perfume. I kind of love it here. My kid and I have some sensory issues, so three games may be the limit by the time the place is hopping. It can be loud with the music and people. For regular folk, I'd say the noise level is "stimulating." That said, there's areal sweetness to the sound of a good strike. What's great, from a sensory perspective is the lack of screens or blinks lights. Just good ol' '80s brown and cream colors, with just the right lighting. The food really is excellent for a bowling alley. I've seen them making a number of things from scratch. They know what they're doing with a deep fryer. Also, because it's Colorado, the beer choices are good. read more

At first when you walk in, you walk right into a bar! No need to stress, just follow the sign that says "Bowling" and you'll find your way. This place took me back over 20 years! I loved it. We were originally supposed to go to Bowlero, but they were packed with reservations and thankfully found this gem instead. It's affordable and they have food if you're hungry. I didn't get to try any, but maybe next time! read more

To preface, I'm not a bowler. I bowl well enough to get a score on the board. With that being said I'm not 100% familiar with all the nuances of a bowling alley. The place seemed nice, clean, and inviting. Bowling and shoes were generally inexpensive. Though I'd go here again, I have a couple gripes. There were attendants around, just not very available. They weren't horribly busy as we were able to get on a lane right away (amazing since it was league night elsewhere) however it was always a wait to get any food or drink and even settle up. When we did pay at the end the attendant flipped the screen for us to sign and scoffed when we didn't tip. I'm sorry fella but you handed me shoes and rang me up. Not tip worthy. I felt inclined when I was pressed for a tip at the food counter and the bar counter but the cost for these extras were pricey already. $5 for a medium soda $25 for a pitcher of beer read more

While the lanes are maintained very well, my view of management has changed. They now prohibit water bottles from being brought in from outside. I am a league bowler and bowl several times each week. This is a physical activity and requires hydration, like any visit to the gym. In their effort to, presumably cut down on those bringing in outside adult beverages, they have alienated their core customers. I now bowl elsewhere. read more

I haven't bowled in such a long time, but this is definitely a place that radiates good vibes from customers and staff! I felt that we were very welcomed and the price for drinks, snacks, and games were all reasonable. This visit definitely puts me in the mood to bowl more. read more

Overall, I have had several great experiences here. Good food and drinks in a 1970's themed bar and bowling joint. The bartender was fantastic and I've met nice people that are fun to have a convo with. I think, however, I got double charged once on my card so I'll probably pay in cash next time. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though, sometimes electronic mistakes happen. Otherwise, very fun place. read more

Exactly where I wanted to be on a Friday night. We had 6 people and rented 2 lanes and shoes for everyone for an hour and it was about $50-$60. The atmosphere was vibrant and divey. Played classic rock and groovy tunes the whole time. Cheap drinks and a full bar. The best bar was honestly the WRL Fries. Holy smokes these fries were really great, excellent crispy surface and soft fully insides. read more

We need more places like this to exist! No frills bowling, with an interior that is authentic to its original 1950's roots. Affordable pricing, good food and drink, and super nice staff. Highly recommend this spot! read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE ANY OTHER RACE THEN WHITE. I came here with my all Mexican little family consisting of 3. Right when we walked in it felt very uncomfortable and got rude stares looking up and down and my child got pushed around by grown adults. We stood in line which was a wait itself just to be creeped out by an older man acting like he worked there making my younger daughter very uncomfortable and standing too close to us. Then while we stood people there acted like we did not exist, they pushed us around, shoulder bumped, and bum rushed us. We then got told to "move out of the way" to let two younger white males who looked us up and down and refused to say manners. The service was very rushed and unwelcoming, they seemed very annoyed and we ended up walking out after hesring it would be a 3 hour wait. Although we seen a white family behind us get told it will be open in a hour and 30. Overall will not be coming back, 0 star experience. read more

Racist place staff rude except the person who brought out our food. Will never be back. Only played half a game paid for two and left felt so uncomfortable. A staff member actually bumped me hard and didn't apologize. Then I called and talked to the owner seemed nice at first and all concerned about the horrible experience I found out he charged me $80 on debit card after I checked my account for two bowling games and two shoe rentals and two meals. He said while we were talking it was getting busy and he had to call back me back and took my number but never called me back and I even tried to call one more time. He's a liar. Please don't waste your time and I hope his business fails due to the lack of respect he has for paying customers trying to come to an understanding on their bad experience and how to fix it. I tried and I'm done. Good luck buddy what goes around comes around. read more

Wheatridge Lanes is a fabulous, fun destination! 12-lanes for bowling, but while we waited, we were entertained on the new patio - bocci ball court, greens golf, corn hole, jenga, a ping pong table, and outdoor seating. But wait until you see the menu! The kitchen puts out THE best burger, plus Burger of the Month, weekly specials and holiday fare. We'll be back! read more

The food here was really good. I had the wings and a burger. Wings were good just could have been little more spicy. The burger was really good. We had the western bbq burger with bacon and the onion ring. Drinks were reasonable as far as price . I would go back for the food the bowling was fun too just had a long wait. read more

Best music ever. Love love love bowling here! Staff are super friendly, location is fun, and it's a great neighborhood joint. They are the best bowling place in town! read more

Bowling was great. We waited about an hour for a lane on a Saturday night. Had a beer at the bar while we waited. A very fun experience.

Food isn't the same. One night, the fried goods were greasy and super salty - like the oil was old The green chili is still ok but the cooked burrito meat has no flavor Maybe I caught it on rough day A few times I hope the new owner can get it in line. It's always been a cool spot and the employees are great read more

The best bowling alley around. Classic. Old school bowling. How it should be. None of that distracting lucky strike type stuff that every other bowling alley seems to have now. This place knows what's good and how to keep it that way. It is the best. read more

Im sorry to even have to write this. My fiance and I were waiting for a lane to open up and decided to go sit at the bar and have a drink til the lane opened. Some patrons continued to harrassee the bartender asking her to show her tits... she walked away and the patrons were talking about coming in her hair. We eventually got our lane. We played one game.. the manager at one point came over and said my gf spilled a chip on the ground. It seems the Management and Owners are more concerned about chip crumbs then protecting their bartenders. Really concerning. This place sucks. read more

Great place to hangout, reasonable prices, and all in all a wonderful - divey bowling alley! read more

My bowling team (Rolling with the Homies) calls this of all bowling alleys ours. From what I'm told the owner when he took over totally refurnished the place with the vintage bowling alley interior you see there today that gives it that authentic retro feel. They have a full bar attached, serve food & have great fries! read more

So glad my friends and I discovered Wheat Ridge Lanes. Everyone is so nice and hospitable. Bowling is great fun for a reasonable price and the staff is welcoming and patient with a good sense of humor. The bartenders greet you with a smile and their mixology is on point. Chef Tate has elevated the food to the next level! Being Cinco de Mayo my team had green chili and smothered burritos that were some of the best I have had since moving to Denver 10 years ago. This establishment is sparkling clean from the bar, to the lanes, to the bathrooms! I kid you not, it is noticeably neat and tidy. You can tell the owners and staff take tremendous care of this "club". I can't wait to go back. read more

Really love this place! Super fun for either a date night or a last minute group event. I came with my friends last Saturday and as soon as I walked in I knew I was immediately going to like the place. The lanes are so cute and the atmosphere was great. It felt nice to support your local bowling alley. read more

Best place to bowl! Super fun, good drinks and good food. The lanes are always working. All equipment is updated and always in working order. They get you in as fast as they can. Their shoes are clean and everyone who works there is awesome. Pretty busy on a Saturday night but it was so fun! Looking forward to coming back!! read more

They were so kind and thoughtful and really went out of their way to make sure my 5 yr old nephew and I had a fun and carefree experience bowling at their location. Can't recommend it enough! read more

Best bowling in town by far! Love this place! The staff is awesome, the lanes are nice and it is locally owned! There is an attached bar with one of the best shuffleboard tables I have ever seen! It was used in the 1996 National Championships (so it says) and it is lovely! It really ties the room together ;-) They have a full kitchen with daily specials and a kick ass bar. I have enjoyed many shots, beers, and even a few apple-tinis while bowling here! I have been on weekends, had a birthday bowling party and have been on a couple of leagues here too - it is basically my version of Cheers, but with bowling! They have screens so you can watch the games and do a great job decorating for the holidays. If you don't like the music, they will happily change it for you! Good stuff, good vibe, sweeter than yoo-hoo! read more

I organized a meet up at Wheat Ridge lanes for a small group. They were pretty easy to work with and I was surprised they were willing to reserve two lanes for me on a Friday night. Problem was, they apparently got their wires crossed because after our second game another customer came up to us and said one of our lanes now was his; we were losing one of our lanes. Fortunately for us, most of us were done so we just called it a night, but the whole thing was a little weird. Not sure if it was b/c some of my party had only paid for two games in advance or if they really did double-book the lanes. Even though games are super-cheap here and there is this divey vibe which makes bowling fun here, I think in the future I'll just hang at the bigger lanes to avoid the experience I had here. read more

The cutest retro bowling alley around! They have great nachos(gf and vegetarian option) reasonably priced beer pictures and really good margaritas read more

If you're African American please go to this place with caution if at all. They are not welcoming to black or African American people. I'm not just talking about the staff. Their patrons were pissed I was there for no reason. Luckily I was there with two other white friends and no one came after me, however the horrible treatment from the staff, the stares, the back handed comments from patrons, the shoulder bumps as I walked by from the patrons make this place not safe. Do not order food here either if you decide to be adventurous. I just want to re-iterate that I was the only black guy in the place and everyone there was pissed. I can't control inaccurate sterotypes that are placed on me by racist due to their own ignorance and hatred. I do however think that it's my responsibility to warn others of the potential threat by doing business with this place. These are the same people who say black people make everything about race as they treat me like shit in their place of business because of my race. read more
