Our new eight-lane bowling alley and cocktail bar adjacent to the University of Chicago features a menu of burgers and chicken alongside classic and frozen drinks. Lane reservations are made below. There is also a link to complete a private event request below as well. Fill this out and someone will get back to you.
“This is a place you want to go to have some good food and some bowling fun! Let’s talk food. We walk in and got bar seats, but there are also are some booths available. We ordered crinkle cut fries and smash burgers—both were DELISH!!! Good selection of various local brews on tap. Glasses are cold and I would recommend the Dovetail Vienna Lager. Staff is nice, good service, nice clean bathrooms, food came pretty fast. Recommended!!! 10/10”
“Wonderful local establishment! It's a great bar with excellent and dynamic beer list. But they also have wonderful pub food options, and plenty of healthy stuff, too! I love the avocado-mango salad! But best of all, the service is fabulous and it is rarely crowded. The bowling is fun, too!”
“Been coming here for a while and I typically enjoy my experience in full, that said, I am begging that these guys get rid of Jumbo wings and pivot back to normal sized wings. Jumbo wings SUCK! They are massive , tough , way too fatty and you basically have to cook them like a roast to have them cook all the way through. There is absolutely no appreciable gains for the customer with having jumbo wings. Please pivot back to sourcing chickens that were actually hatched from eggs instead of these damn leviathans you guys call chicken !”
“Terrible first time being here. Upon arriving with my little brother and I, we were already profiled and the man was speaking in such a low tone that I could hardly understand what he was saying — almost as if he was afraid of us. When I continued to ask him on where we were supposed to go to pay, he just asked for my debit card for the bowling alley, which we were there for. I told him I didn’t know that’s what you were asking me, I could hardly hear you. I was wondering where the front desk was. I handed him my debit card and he then said clearly, that it’ll be $60 plus tax for an hour. I thought it was off to not ask how long we wanted to bowl, and he just gave us a limit on his own accord. Before he went to take my card to the back to charge me, he pointed to the shoes and told us the sizes, I kept my card locked debating on if I should continue due to the awkward situation as well as not finding my size. He came back to alert me my card declined but I told him to try it again due to it being locked. I finally found some shoes I could wear which weren’t exactly my size, but my little brother found his immediately and I wanted to go ahead and still proceed to give him a good time. Once my card was returned to me with the receipt for me to sign, he then told me that we’d be in lane 8 and the first five minutes were practice times until the actual hour began. At this time, I wasn’t even done getting myself situated due to me still not having the shoes on and having to put all my things away and feeling so rushed to the point where I had to tell my brother to go practice before the hour starts. By that time, 3 minutes had already gone by for that part. Once we got done practicing, that’s when the actual timer started but it wasn’t an hour, the clock showed 55 minutes. We bowled and I noticed that we were always being watched. At the final 10 minutes is when the workers would walk around and start wiping down the windows and since we were at the last lane closest to the windows and the front door, one worker would walk over to that window to wipe it. There were workers in front and behind us. Down to the last 15 seconds is when the timer didn’t reach zero. The game ended at 10 seconds which I felt was a bit off. I’m sure when bowling, you’re still allowed to bowl your last two turns instead of stopping at the first throw. I did not enjoy this experience at all and I know I wouldn’t be back.”
“This was a very disappointing time for Class of 1974 trying to enjoy our meet and greet. Friday July 26, 2024. Our committee had paid and sign a contact to rent this venue out from 6:30 - 8:30 for us. Upon arrival 5:30 - 6:30 notice another group in the area. The manager Antonio assured us they would be rapping up by 6:30. Well 6:30 came they began giving out awards or what ever and taking pictures. They moved out the area where the bowling lanes where but not the area where the tables and shoes where. Also, the took several group pics (at least 30 people) in front of the bowling shoes so we couldn’t even get our shoes. After pictures they continued in that area we rented socialize and talking very loud. We all came to the conclusion that this was a deliberate act of disrespect. We can even say honestly it was a case of racial profiling. Yes the bowling team were white individuals and we were older senior citizens black individuals. We believed the manager was afraid to enforce to them they had to leave the area because it has been rent to another party. So needless to say we were very disappointed and will never plan any social gathering here again. We also took to social media about this incident.”
