Reviews of The Alley (Bowling Alley)

Jillian Clow

Make sure to book a lane ahead of time especially on the weekends!

Jamie Mackay

Friendly but not enough staff meant a little slow service. Waitress was friendly and worked quick but was too busy. Food was delicious.

Danny Lane

Great burger for burger love month.

Cheryl Oxford

Atmosphere & food was great, but service was really disappointing. I was overtly ignored by the bartenders and watched one particular bartender literally turn her back on me and continued to walk away and chat with a friend! Its experiences like this that leave a really bad impression and need to be brought to the managers attention. If you don't want to do your job well, then gtfo.

Jessie Toyota

Best bowling on the island, bar has great apps

Emily Epp

Had a great time bowling and doing karaoke!

Mike Slaven

Great spot for a few drinks and a bit of bowling.

Patrick Ross

Wow, what a difference! This place is completely different. The atmosphere is great for adults and the food is very good. I am hoping the renovations will continue down the hall to the room rentals.

Not Daniel

It Is an average bowling place

Joy Fajardo

I had so much fun when we visited here. It was refreshing to go kind of outside and play. ????????????????

John MC

Unless you're a lady the staff won't really serve you. I don't know how else to put it besides that they cater to only those they want there.

Shivam Prajapati

Awesome place for drink and play bowling...

Thank you for your patience with my group. You all put up with a lot

Mark Wight

What a truly surprising location. The Alley is in fact a bowling alley - food is hot, well prepared, prompt service and a fantastic place to bring your kids. Quiet, loud, it doesn't matter! Really looking forward to going back for Burger Love. This place has crept high on my list of favourite places in town.

Amalia Campbell

Staff was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere was great!

Geoff Murray

Great fun, great food and great beer!

Kris

The apps we had were delicious

Lindsey Ross

This spot is fun for Friday or Saturday night out. Lots of options for food and drink. It's easy to pre-book for a large party here. Lots of snags but theres a lot happening. I find the resos get botched sometimes... You have to hit the service button often, the food can be hit or miss at times- but overall if you consider they are running a lot of things at once with the bowling, bar, restaurant and rental system- there's going to be some hiccups. Would recommend!

Jordan

Went there for a work function a little while ago. The wait staff was very courteous and the bowling lanes were nicely set up to have a drink and bowl a couple of games.

Adam Cheyne

Great spot! We stopped in on a rainy vacation evening and had a great time. Very nice facilities, great bowling alley and amazing food and prices! The sampler platter was drool-inducing.

Kristina S

Service is slow, and staff seem very disoriented and disorganized.

Luanne Doucette

It was Filthy Dirty

Agia Doering

Great Kareoke! Heather was awesome! Bar staff did not come and take orders from our table once! They did clean up the tables. Long wait at the bar to get drinks. Three stars are for the Kareokee only!

Great Fun!

margo macwilliams

Atmosphere, fun, group activities, food and drinks ????

Matt Doucette

Great setup

Joe Chevarie

The only good part about this place is the bowling. However, the music and the music videos they play are explicit and disgusting, especially since there was children around. Will not be returning.

Sterling

Great bar, good service. Computerized score keeper on lanes.

colleen Larter

Lot's of fun for the whole family

Brian Willis

A great mix of 5 pin bowling, entertainment, food and drink. Super place to go out with a group of friends or small company outing.

Marcus Novotny

Fun time for a family

Hugo Begin

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good equipment, fun place!

ethEYP

It's hardly ever open and when it is it's booked because it's only open Thursday 9-12, Friday 4-12 and Saturday 4-12 the rest of the week it's closed and you can't even book a lane until the place is actually open. Not worth the effort to try booking for a get together with friends.

Levi Sommerville

Love bowling. Great food. Prices are great. Atmosphere is great. Staff is great. Its a great a place. Lol

Jith Roy

Good place to have some fun as a group

Jonathan Henderson

It was a good time. Popular spot so be sure and call to book a lane. Bowling is blacklight so wear something cool with a good deal of white. Tie-dye looks awesome. Food and drinks served to the lanes as you play.

Robbie Dylan

Lots of fun, looks amazing!

Wynced

Their Alley Fries are amazing. Half price apps from 4-6 on Sunday is the best. Good service, not too loud for a bowling alley if you sit away from the bowlers. Good music, great food.

D Perry

Always a fun time. Good food

David Hughes

I hadn't been bowling in awhile. It was great fun. It's a nice looking place. It's not too expensive $11. A great activity for a group of friends. It even has a bar.

Amanda Smith

Food and service was great, and blacklight is always fun

Gerard Ellsworth

Affordable and good great prices

David MacSwain

It was a great place to go bowling, and the pub along with bowing is a great idea. The atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly and great service even when busy. The drinks and food are priced well for the quality you get Only downside to the establishment. Is that the bowling itself is quite expensive at $20 dollars, per person per hour

Afton McMillan

Great food and atmosphere, but honestly the wait staff are minimal, don't check on you, and in general are overwhelmed or just don't seem to care. Too long of waits- when its 30 mins for a drink and 20 minutes to pay a bill it's just not worth it.

Tyler Fraser

Had such a fun time I can't wait to come back.

Cecil Murl

It was a nice place food was good but the bowling alleys were terrible dirty..dust everywhere

Amanda Cudmore

They have delicious food and you can sometimes see people you haven't seen in a while.

I had the Naco burger and it was amazing. The deep fried jalapeno peppers were I nice cherry on top. Great staff

Emma Murray

Food is always good! When I went last time the waitress forgot about our meals so we did wait longer than anticipated. 45 mins... But we told out waitress she was a little abrupt why we would bring it up but gave us a discount. That was the only time I have had an issue since going there

Caley Aylward

Made a bowling reservation for Sunday afternoon for a staff party. They do not serve food or drinks on a Sunday afternoon. Seemed weird and definitely disappointing!

Brenda MacPhail

it was a fun time

Laura Chaisson

My family and I love bowling at the alley. We try and do it a couple of times a month. Great prices and very helpful staff. Highly recommend going there.

Beautiful renovation,really give s the the place a comfortable atmosphere and great food

SHAVEYSGIRL

We called a day ahead to book a table of 12. When we got there on Friday it was starting to fill up quickly. Mya was our server and she was AMAZING. However, she was waiting on everyone in the restaurant, Drinks and food. She was the only server there. I will be clear. Mya was amazing. We were all there on our lunch break and one member of our party had to leave. We arrived at 12pm and recieved our food at 12:45. The burger was great! Mya's service was awesome. Management may want to do a little better with scheduling. It was a Friday, Burger Love, and reservations were booked for that day. they could have looked at that and realized more staff will be required for the lunch time rush.

Darryl Bloom

Nice bar, I wouldn't order their food again.

Colton Dennis

Great spot to hang out an drink, watch the game or play pool. Employees are great bunch of people.

Jacob Van Dijk

Nice place friendly people and a good service

Danny Costain

Server always made sure we were taken care of

achasebob

Very welcoming, staff are friendly and helpful. Drinks and food are priced fair, bowling is always a good time. Music is loud yet it doesn't drowns out what everyone is saying. Clean and well kept building, inside and out

Wayne Matheson

Had a great time

Limber Siren

Loads of fun, great place to get together. Drinks were poorly made. Whiskey sour was more lime juice than anything else.

Brandon Gallant

Charlottetown's only bowling alley has really stepped up its game since becoming The Alley. It's a very nice venue with a bar attached and you can now bring your food/drinks down to the alley floor.

Cory Drake

Great service and great food and drinks! Great for any event or by yourself!????????????????

Tammie Smyth

Good food, bowling is fun, clean good staff

Fun times, and great food!

Alyssa Burt

Great food with good prices, and a really fun idea to have a bowling alley attached. Perfect for date night or a family evening out.

Jordan Dickie

Great bowling and food

Paul McCarron

Great atmosphere. Loaded fries are amazing. You don't have to bowl to enjoy this place, the food and drink are that good.

Stephen Thompson

The bar and restaurant area were great. Tasty food and reasonable priced drinks. The bowling area for avid bowlers was a little subpar but for the jo blo bowler it would be a great spot

Dara Temple

Fun time, nice atmosphere. Would give 5 stars but empty snack trays provided for party were rarely cleaned up. Did myself to keep areas clean

WAEL WAEL

Good

Jennifer Jay

I was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem.. in a bowling alley, nonetqheless ! Quite unexpected but such an upgrade from the old bowling lanes ! I had just stopped by out of curiosity one afternoon to say hi to an old friend Georgie. Having worked in F&B for years, I can be notoriously... let's just say "observant", and I've been told, even slightly critical! but not of The Alley. I have taken friends down to experience it because they to needed to see it to beleive it- The transformation is impressive. More importantly, The Alley staff were very comfortable, and notably genuine. They were knowledgable about the menu and relaxed, which is always telling. (Not many of us enjoy going out only to watch waitstaff run around like harried chickens, or witness them being berated by their superiors- always takes the fun out of it for me, and should not be the focal point of your meal ). Instead, The attitude of The Alley staff was welcoming and even contagious. I have a real beef when you feel like a burden to staff make you feel like a burden or they overlook you. All too common is waitstaff who don't know their menu, or are too busy to give quality service. That was not the case at The Alley. I couldn't help but notice the comraderie amonst staff and their manager....& this was at change over time, typically a frenetic transition. The menu was simple but covered it all, there's no need to go overboard and try to outdo other places ( that's just baffling with BS). These guys offered a few things and they did them well! Good quality food, minimalistic atmosphere and extremely clean.... ! I was most taken by the re-use of the one of the old Elm trees from downtown Charlottetown for their bar. Georgie was understandably proud to show me around, and I was quite surprised how the bowling fit with the bar,… They seem like separate entities neither interrupt the other, instead they augment one another, there's no awkward silence, in which the bartender feels obligated to "chat you up"....(phoney and uncomfortable all around). Yet, not unlike a pool hall, or a sports bar there's something else to focus on- Live entertainment ... While you wait for a friend or your meal. You will find people from all different walks of life having a good time, & perhaps mingling with people they never would have otherwise met. You can't take this place as stuffy or uppity, it is high-class and inclusive. The Alley has character already, an appreciation for the Arts... a really welcoming / "Cheers-like" feeling. ????????( I wouldn't be surprised if there is a "Norm" there these days ) On another visit a colleague and I were walking home, stopped in to show her, and it was karaoke night! At some places that is cause for an "about-face". Confed. staff were there and not unlike the staff of The Alley, they too were welcoming, not cliquish. Luckily for them, I do not sing, but I appreciate good music, and Wow talk about great entertainment! People of all ages and stages, some travel from the other end of the island to sing and all are given their turn with the mic :-). This was one of the most entertaining and uplifting evenings of the summer..... & all by chance! And finally.... last but not least : I can't think of another venue/bar in Charlottetown that a woman could walk in to, albeit just to say hi to a friend, and end up staying because she felt comfortable and safe. That, my friends is a rarity in this town.

RICKEY Burns

because they cater to the people. and the staff is friendly and have a happy smile
