I went here for the unlimited bowling and shoe rentals last Monday ($24) and had a really great time. The waitress was incredibly friendly and on top of her sh*t. The food was r...

Fantastic! 7/1/2008

What a fantastic time! A bunch of friends celebrated a friends birthday here and had a blast. Had plenty of drinks and totally sucked at bowling but really didn't care. The vibe is cool and hip. Will totally be back again. more

Reservation Policy 2/25/2008

nice place, good location. However their policies are absurd and almost prohibitive, e.g. what's a 2 lane minimum about? Pros: location Cons: price and organization more

Awesome birthday! 2/2/2007

I came here last Saturday night for my birthday with some friends and we had the greatest time! The space is so colorful and fun and the music is great. There was a wait, but it was well worth it. I love to bowl and I've been to the other bowling alleys around the city, and they don't compare to the atmosphere and crowd at Bowlmor. Lots of drinking, lots of bowling, it was the perfect birthday party! Pros: Great music, cool crowd Cons: Crowded on weekends more

WARNING That place is just plain AWFUL!!! 1/16/2007

The person who wrote the last review is right. They are bigoted! I was there last Saturday around 8pm and the told my date who was black to unzip his jacket so they could look at his jeans and then told him they were too baggy and he could not come in. Bare in mind that he was wearing a belt so they were not falling down. He just happens to be a thin man. and if you have to make someone unzip their jacket then obviously it was not noticeable. I was determined to see how this supposed baggy jean rule worked and stayed for an extra 15 minutes to watch. To follow an Hispanic guy was told the same thing that his was too baggy and he could not come in. Then a white guy was about to be let in when I asked what the difference was between his jeans and my dates. So they said he couldn't come in. But 5 minutes later snuck him in. When I saw that. I said there was no difference in the 2 pairs of jeans. The guy said it was a private place and he could change the rules whenever he wanted! I was horrifed . Cons: Prejudice more

Fun Fun... 11/16/2006

I feel like a kid everytime I come here.. Well not really because there's alcohol involved. This place has two floors maybe three anyhow, I don't remember it was so crowded in that place. It feels like your at a night club with the colorful lanes. While you wait you could go to the lounge, snack on their appetizers and have a few drinks. The only draw of this place I think is the really tiny elevator to go upstairs. Other than that this in this place you'll have a fun time. more

Love it! 8/11/2006

My friends and I went on Wednesday to celebrate a friend's engagement. We had so much fun! The staff were the nicest people, ever! So accomadating. We did have to wait, but we got our lane right when they told us we would. It's such a great place to hang out! Pros: atmosphere, staff Cons: food and drinks overprice more

So Much Fun! 2/21/2006

I went last weekend for my first time to bowlmor after having heard about it for many years. My friends had made a reservation so we wouldn't have to wait (which I would recommend). I never had the desire to go bowling before, but this is definitely more than just a bowling alley. The bar scene is great, really good drinks and the food is surprisingly good. Overall, a great and different night out and much better than the same old bar routine. I will definitely be back! Pros: no wait w/reservation, good crowd more

Bowl ""Mor""? 11/13/2005

Admittedly, Bowlmor has a nice atmosphere, and if you can ever get to bowl, it is good fun. However, because Bowlmor caters mostly to corporate clientele, it is nearly impossible to get a lane if you don't want to wait 2 hours. The last time I went, I was told the wait was 30 minutes. After spending a fortune on drinks and greasy food at the bar, I was then told the wait would be another 1 1/2 hours to spend an additional fortune for a lane. Bottom line, if you actually want to bowl, good luck unless you go with a corporate party. And be prepared to drop $50 per person minimum. Pros: atmosphere Cons: Long wait, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ more

Good Times 9/21/2005

The people at the door, register, bar and lanes (all the people I met) were super friendly. Even the people bowling in the lanes adjacent were cool. The DJ was great too. I had an excellent Monday night. Pros: $20 unlimited, music, atmosphere more
