Reviews of Chillibowl Lanes (Bowling Alley)

William Middleton (DroppinDaBall)

Great place to bowl as a teen with friends or as a family

Lisa F

Friendly staff and affordable bowling. Wish it had ten pin but five pin was still fun.

Kaitlyn Kerr

It was super busy, but always a fun time.

Tony Oostendorp

It's always fun to bowl once in awhile.Prices are pretty good but this place desperately needs to be renovated.

Steven Lee

Terrible place. The people running this place have no idea. For a long time this place didn't even have a phone. Place is being sued and they seem to not care about anything there.

Devern Barrett (Barrett50Cal)

Had a little technical difficulties, but it was great nonetheless!

Shelley Lynn Pidhirney

The gentleman that runs the store is such a nice guy. Very friendly. Great prices cheapest smokes in town so far

Eric Gao

Mini/Laneway bowling spot! Much more friendly to newcomers but with a nice high skill ceiling. Plus at such a low cost, it's a must try. Get a few good friends together and smash a few pins over some beers.

Daryll P

Aged, but nothing wrong with it. :)

Nora

Clean and friendly atmosphere

Stephnie G

Every time we come to chillibowl, the staff is extremely rude. It's been over a year since we've been back and they were rude again for NO reason. I don't know if it's the same employee or if everyone is just miserable there which would reflect on management. It's too bad this is the only place to bowl out here. I think we will continue to go to Abbotsford.

Tiffany Collins

Good clean kid friendly fun.

Scott Van EK

Bowling with beer!

Galaxy Craft

Jesse longbear

awsome place

Dylan Goossen

Colt

Legitimately the best place I've ever been to for bowling, playing a game at chilli bowl lanes brings everyone together.

Patrick Peters

Bowling is open and not crowded. A cheap evening of entertainment.

Corey Bickford

Everyone is very friendly!

Tracy Tutt

The staff is so friendly!

Wendy A Johnson

Birthday parties are great there.

Elaine Armstrong

great place to take my family

Cindy Baker

This place is OPEN and always a good time.

Tim S

It's basically what you'd expect from its location. A beat up, rapidly decaying bowling alley which suffers from technical issues. This does; however, bring affordable bowling (albeit 5 pin). I retrieved a pitcher of beer from the pub there, which was filled with what I can only assume were "the regulars", who mean-mugged me the entire time I was inside their favourite watering hole. All this aside, the staff were truly great and we had a fun time. I suspect the staff are what keep people coming into this dive.

Grey Johnson

Excellent family fun, has multiple choices for themed bowling,also has attached 50s themed diner and convenience store

Julz Poud.

We always have a Great Time there! And the staff are super helpful and friendly!

Mike de Ruyter

Its always fun to go back to your childhood, and having grown up in Chilliwack, having the same local bowling lanes to play on is nostalgic for sure. It does need some upgrades which is why only 4 stars but the staff are friendly and its an inexpensive way to have some good ol fun!

Terrorrell

Fun Bwling Alley with a built in Retro Diner, and convenience store.

Kirito Blenkin

Great

joey johnson (jojo)

Adam The Adam

My work team went here for a disco bowling night and we had a great time!

Henry Blakeborough

Always good times here, my sis works here love to have a visit

Jaeger Mah

Old school gem in the heart of downtown Chilliwack. Great for families, friends or first dates. There’s even a pub connected so you can grab a beer while your kids bowl.

Anthony Vandergugten

Inexpensive and fun outing for the family.

Jason Vanden Berg

Great family time! Disco bowling and crazy dance moves ????

Ian Peppin

Dated, but still a lot of fun!

cache creeec

Good

Randy Edwards

It's OK. It's cheap

Mike Brouse

Lots of fun. Helpful staff.

stanley fraser

Had enjoyable day with friends

Shane Johnston

Great little bowling alley. 10 lanes and there is a 50s style diner inside.

Steve Morgan

We had a fun time here but the lane (1) and balls have seen better days. Many balls were damaged and the lane seemed biased to the left (I don't think it was just us). We didn't mind as my kids are very young and I am not a bowler. On the whole, the place needs a bit of a refresh -- but I suspect the current economics of bowling alleys in downtown Chilliwack would make that impossible for the owners.

Nate Frulling

Great deals on the weekends, nice place to kill some time with the kids

Giony Dumitru

The guy Marcel, he's a rad dude, and he bowls pretty good I wouldn't mess with him, but an over all an awsome Saturday/Sunday night.

Ashley Vanlaar

Chilli bowl is such a dive and needs help. We rented 3 lanes for top dollar and didn't get what we paid for. 2 of the lanes the bowling balls constantly got stuck and we had to wait all the time for it to get fixed. The bowling balls had chips in 50% of them which threw off your throw. Some of the pins were not set right so you never got a strike and when we asked the owner he said "yeah that far left pin rarely goes down". The shoes are falling apart and peeling. Bring sanitizer, everything feels grimy, especially the bathroom! Won't be coming back here again.

JETSON

Cheap and fun, seems to always be cash only on the top floor though.

Nathan C

All ways a good place to take the kids

Jarrat

I play on a bowling league here, super fun people and great staff!

Shavon Taylor

Staff was super friendlu, food was great and it was reasonably priced. Paid and played 3 games had so much fun we got 3 more ????

Markus Tonsaker

Very fun and affordable bowling!

Maksim Lychik

The diner here was great, the bowling was fun too

J. Brule

Their website is not helpful at all when trying to find information on their schedule for league / non-league use.

David Nabess

Get a game on here

Chelsea-lee Currie

We went bowling for a birthday party. Decided not to do the party room. We had two full lanes of kids and they had a blast. The price was great as we purchased through groupon. The service was okay. The downside was that the lady helping us was pretty grumpy and we were placed next to the only other two lanes that were bowling so we were squished up next to another large group.

Rob Schmidtke

A decent bowling alley, with fantastic prices.

Ethan Morris

Very nice staff. It wasn't busy and that is nice.

Melissa Verbeek

I didn't want to give a star but had to ..prices are ok..but service is rude ..very unprofessional.

Daniel Brideau

Strike three is a ????

Teri Westerby

3 games for $5 on Sundays. Can't beat that as a fun evening with friends.

Hebrina Mcinroy

Anthony Lenfesty

Brian Smith (Bellphorion)

Great friendly staff. Never busy a few hours after open, 2 floors of bowling not just the one you see when you walk in! Cheap prices, clean, fresh shoes!

Roy Field

C.Leigh

Always a blast

Dylan Briggs

Essential bowling aesthetic

Sam Wolfe

It's the best (only) bowling in chilliwack! Good service and food too.

Laura Leys

It is a great place to go to have fun

Jeffrey Nordstrom

Affordable 5-pin bowling. Some night it's the only thing to "do" in Chilliwack on short notice.

Alicia van den Brink

Well what can I say. This place has been a Chilliwack staple for years. It's where you went for your 10th birthday party, and now where I go for a family night. The place has looked the same for the 20 years I've been going, if not slowly getting worse. I'm going to be honest, it's not pretty. However if all you're there to do is bowl and have a good time with the family this place will serve its purpose! Don't expect fancy chairs, new shoes, and clean carpets, but expect a good time.

Adam Fru

Keep calm, bowl it out. Good five pin place, though sometimes ball returns take a bit and you need an attendant.

Jennifer Mclelland

An affordable, fun night out for a family or group.

Yong

(Translated) It was good to be able to play bowling that was different from Korea. The point is that the ball bowls into a ball. Best! (Original) 복고풍을 보는 듯한 느낌을 많이 받았고 한국과는 다른 볼링을 칠수 있어서 좋았다. 그 점이 뭐냐면 공이 투포환 공으로 볼링을 한다. 최고!

Mona Irmen

I was there with my grandchildren. We always have fun there.

April Schierling

Noisy

They stopped paying their staff, so they are now essentially closed. Who knows, maybe theyll find some volunteers to work for free.

Good

Great service, great lanes. Lots of cheap rental;s, and cheap but tasty food. Only three blocks from the main pool as well!

Tracy Carrie

Great customer service, friendly and efficient. Sunday has a great special. 3 game's for $5.00 plus $2.50 for shoe rental. Great deal

Funny place for a family fun night

Lukas Toews

Great place for some family fun!

Andrew M

The owner or manger is beyond rude and has no idea what he is doing I see why it’s for sale. If you go here be advised they ARE NOT following any COVID protocols. Which I will be reporting.

Was ok a little junkie the washrooms were in need of repair

Nick Mitchell

Got the kids summer pass with parents pass. So can go bowling everyday if we want. Kids are enjoying it friendly staff.

Johannes dekapper

A great activity right in the heart of old downtown. Sure beats sitting in a pub.

Candy Ross

Great casual atmosphere.

Peter Van Der Maden Jr.

Yeah I used to go there quite regularly but now I'm 62 and I just have not been there for quite a while but it was fun when I was there I love to bowl but nowadays the price is too expensive

Tiffany Carter

This is the sketchiest place I have ever been to. We are new to the city, booked a party for our 12 year old and it was sketchy, sketchy sketchy. It's an old, run down, dirty, smelly building. The party area was dirty and smelly, the staff weren't even there, it took forever to get going. There was no music, you had to bring your own speaker (and of couse no one told us this on booking), the play room was dirty, full of garbage from the previous party, the disco lights were sad. Everything was sad. The bathrooms were garbage, the bowling floors were trash, the pins didn't work properly. It was embarrassing. I couldn't wait to leave.

Jamie Klyne

Great place and it's like the show cheers everyone knows u we are happy being here in the wack

Richard Coombs

Showed up at 8 and there's nobody there. Unlocked but depressing. And closing early on a Saturday is not smart lol

Faye Allen

I booked a disco bowl birthday party for 11 year olds, when we arrived the party room was filthy with over flowing garbage cans and dirt swept into a pile from a party the week before. I was charged for disco bowling and the music didn’t work, they gave us a Bluetooth speaker that the kids couldn’t even hear. Only 2 of the lanes upstairs were working and the bathrooms were out of order. On the plus side the girl that was working was very apologetic and accommodating (not her fault the place is so run down and in desperate need of repair). Kids had fun regardless but definitely should adjust the prices for what is actually offered compared to what is advertised when you book a Disco Bowling party.

Lucas de Real

Me and my friend's went it was fun,but some of my friends got the wrong shoe size

Leanne Chew

Cheap entertainment, would be better if they could update the place and offer 10 pin bowling

James Brouse

Not to busy. Decent lanes. Good place for kids party.

Brandon Woo

Cheap night out and you can have a beer while bowling. Too bad they close at 10pm on a Saturday night

Mikayla Picken

I've been bowling here since I was a wee lil baby. I enjoy it. It definitely needs an interior upgrade... looks rather grimey and gross, but it doesn't effect the bowling itself. The shoes can also use an upgrade as they are very old, you can feel how many feet have been in them that's for sure! I wish they would put some money into the place. Staff were friendly.

Teresa Gurney

Twice now one of the employee very aggressive to me n my children n very verbally abusive. Today he said if we want to go bowling we got to Abbotsford n we aren't welcome there n I'm not his customer when he verbally attacked me n that's when I asked to speak to his manager that's when he said no I'm not getting anything from him. I only notice he only gets unglued towards woman n children . Is he's not a safe person to have or work with the public.

Sajid Hussain

Nice taxi????

Jeana Davies

Loved it

Barbie Kaiser

Friendly manager, I'd visit here again :)

Michael Victor

Reasonable prices for a fun time. Could use some upgrades.

Sarah St Pierre
