This was a fun lil place to check out. We went on a week day so it wasn’t super busy! Unfortunately the guy running bowling was super grumpy and wouldn’t let anyone else bowl and closed down 2 hours early.
This is a great place to unwind with friends, family, and beer. As other reviews have said, the lanes are challenging and the balls have craters in them. But who cares about those details, you're not going to bowl your best games without your own stuff anyways. The atmosphere and fun times you'll have with friends and family can't be beat!
Lane 10 is junk, messed up 3 times on us then when we went to ask them to fix it the guy sighed and said "well you're gonna have to wait" instead of sure no problem, I'll be right over to fix that. Didn't have Pepsi, even though the guns at the bar were Pepsi branded. It was some off brand imperial cola. Not very impressed. But still wasn't a bad place to have some Sunday fun.
This is a dingy basement bowling alley with old, run down video games. They say they have 'bar food' but they mean a couple of vending machines. Not family friendly but I could see it being fun for the 20something punk crowd.
great vibe, decor, arcade, and bar. it’s best not come here expecting an enjoyable bowling experience. the balls have actual craters in them, the lanes are warped, and they are only oiled every wednesday. I hate to say it but the bowling is atrocious
All Cons: Smells like vomit and feet the moment you walk in, most of the games are broken, namely air hockey, DDR, guitar hero and a racing game, smells like urine on the west side of the bar, the whole place is dead silent until someone pays $2 to play one song on the jukebox, the lanes aren't oiled the balls have deep gashes on them and they always get stuck in the machine. Whoever owns this place obviously doesn't care about maintenance. Never coming back.
This place is in the basement , well maintained. 8$ per person per game for bowling, pool table has waiting time on weekends. Beer pitchers are great. Bar service is good. They don’t have a kitchen so there’s no food.
Since 1927. This place has been an entertainment destination per the website. The vibe of this joint is unmistakably old Milwaukee. A massive main bar. Satelite bars. The stories the walls have seen here would write a movie. Glad I experienced it. $4.50 /gm w/ shoes. Great deal too
Came here for bowling but end up playing darts. FYI bowling area close at 10pm on Saturdays they don’t want drunks bowling. But the bar is still open. The bar area is pretty decent and with space. I’ll go again for some darts and pool. Only thing is no food. You’ll have to order out or eat before you come. The drinks were okay not strong enough. I’ll recommend for a night out.
Games, pool, darts, drinks, Arcade, bowling. This east side Milwaukee historic traditional Landmark is worth stopping in with friends
