Reviews of Bowl-O-Drome (Bowling Alley)

Adam Maan

(Translated) Very poorly maintained (Original) Très mal entretenue

Henri Thai

Used to be a good one but not anymore. Buckets under the ceiling for water leakage and not a clean ambience.

Shigeo

Don't go to this bowling place it's terrible.

Vannessa J

Very cheap and the place is run down and falling apart

Abdullah El-Safadi

I used to come here when I was young and it was well maintained. However, now, the place is not well maintain and there is not always someone at the reception to help. Not happy of their service. The place needs a lot of maintenance !

Abhishek Jain

Everything is very old and boring. Bowling balls seem to decades old just like the place itself. Pool table wasnt able to accept token. Went in weekday and was very boring not sure how weekends are like.

Kiki nosaur

(Translated) Mediocre service, several bolls missing pieces. We had to change to go twice because the system is pointing is broken. The shoes are over 10 years old, and are poorly maintained. Place to avoid (Original) Service mediocre, plusieurs bolles manque des morceaux. Nous avons du changer d'allé deux fois parceque le systeme est de pointage est brisé. Les souliers on plus de 10 ans, et sont mal entretenu. Endroit à éviter

Eazzy Lasgidi noni

Cool hangout spot

Alejandro R

Super sketchy place. Old and ghetto.

Altan Muftuoglu

Very old place. when you get in, you fell like you are in a time machine, back to 80ies. Almost all the balls are broken. No AC, or if there is one, it's not working. However, we really had fun since we were there as a group. If you can find a good ball, it's a place to play bowling.

Pierre-Olivier Trottier

This place is horrible... Everything is broken and service is awful ????

Total Fitness

Older. Quiet, but had fun

melanie peixoto

Nobody at the front desk..we waiting for a long time....NO employees.....had to call them to get the lady to come to the front desk. Finally they show up...we get our alley ... Nothing works... Doesn't register our turns properly....we have to throw balls multiple times to get it to register our turns ..... Very ridiculous. The whole thing got stuck....they had to reset our alley ... Could not play a proper game here

Mellisa Alexandrovitch

Only bowling alley around; but it's run down. Most people go there for the bar & lotto Quebec machines.

Ultra Twiggs

Need a whole new renovation. Who agree with me. Maybe they will fix the place. Its a shame that the owener wont fix the place.

Donaherkids Beaudin

Really fun

Shawn Choupani

I've never been to a better bowling alley

Simon Charest

This place is falling apart but i still go for bowling

Miruna Citea

place is falling apart!!

Max Pechennikov

Coool

Caroline Paradis

(Translated) Has not been renovated for a very long time. Old screens to indicate the score. The balls are not uniform. Very large room without any charm. (Original) N'a pas été rénové depuis très longtemps. Vieux écrans pour indiquer le pointage. Les boules ne sont pas uniformes. Très grande salle sans aucun charme.

thefast_rabbit

The machines are a bit old. But owner is nice and not any people.

Patrick Richard

(Translated) To live the experience of the 1980s, this is the ideal place. But you also have to accept playing with equipment from the 1980s that has not seen any updates since. $ 45 an hour here and play 3 rounds each before it breaks where Stramger Things on Netflix is, the choice is yours. (Original) Pour vivre l'expérience des années 1980, c'est le lieu tout indiqué. Mais il faut aussi accepter de jouer avec un équipement des années 1980 qui n'a connu aucune mise à jour depuis. 45$ de l'heure ici et jouer 3 tours chacun avant que ça brise où Stramger Things sur Netflix, à vous de choisir.

Ali Jawad

Old place

Jacques P. Pailliere

Everything is falling apart at that place

Pat Diddy

Used to go here when I was younger, it hasn't changed -- really, it hasn't changed period. It's totally run down, lanes and balls are terrible. This place is not kid friendly as advertised on their website. The lightest (full size) ball is a 6 or 7, and there are no small balls for kids.

Tara Daoust

The whole place is falling apart..they need to fix the place up or shut it down

Ali Salahi

This place need a major renovation!!

sudhir Parisaboyina

Most disappointing bowling alley in town. The balls are out of shape and chipped at many places. Staff is rude and cheap. They charged for shoes though they don't have it for my son who is a two year old toddler. I will never go back. This place is retarded.

Mohmd Samer Daboul

Good thanks

Amir Mahouk

if you find a good ball then you are so lucky

Renee-Laurence Pierre-Petion

Typical Bowling place of the West island! Obviously needs to be renovate but it's always a very nice place to go play bowling and hangout with friends.

Adel Sherif

Pretty cosey, but quite old.

Amelie Samne

The place is in dire need of an upgrade.

Alain Boulet

(Translated) For the snooker it's ideal (Original) Pour le snooker c'est idéal

TotoTheBro

Horrible machines, chipped balls, employee disapears and never comes back. Overall worst bowling place in Montréal.

KeepMoving

owners are nice, but the place is a dump and needs renovations ASAP. half the lanes don't work properly...

Christopher Prevoe

The place is a bit older and some lanes require a constant resetting but it's still alot of fun.

Sophie Lee

Dirty. Easy parking. Area and building are run down you feel like you're in a ghetto? At least we had the place almost to ourselves.

andrew henle

I will never go back. All the balls are severly damaged. The place was almost empty, so it wasn't an issue that all the good balls were taken. I asked the employee if he had any decent balls and even he said they don't have any. I settled for a ball that sounded like a flat tire as it rolled.

Avinash Virahsawmy

It was an old bowling alley. The bowling balls were mostly damage. The screens look like they are from the 60's

Radical Monster

(Translated) Very good bowling but you never find the perfect balls for you (Original) Tres bon bowling mais tu trouve jamais les balles parfait pour toi

Seif Hejazi

Nice fun and doesn't costs alot of money

Benoit Rochon

Needs to be demolished. Water leaking from roof, toilet seat undone, balls arent round... DO NOT GO

Don Brown

First of all; is it even a bowling center? Can we call it bowling Alley? Can they call their balls bowling balls? The answers for all 3 question is 1 answer a huge big fat "NO" you can't say it's a bowling center, neither bowling alley, and for sure not balls, the alleys aren't leveled, without oil so the balls aren't spinning well, the balls itself are chipped and can't deliver what the ball is made for, SHOT IT DOWN NOW.

Trevor Stewart

What a dive. The balls are ball broken the lanes are crooked the service is crap they should shut this place down. This place needs to be visited by inspectors find another place to go bowling this place is disgusting

Serena S

It was very old and definitely needs more staff. Balls would get stuck or not come back, and the lane seemed to always veer to the left, even for our left handed players. Their security alarm was going off all night. But it's cheap and you can buy beer there

Simon Leonard

Who cares if the place is falling apart i mean its 14$ for 3 games.

Boban Shahzad

love it

Xander M

This place was lowkey aids I was scared being in there and he lied saying the debit machine was broken like always so we could use the sketchy a$$ atm that charges a fee. It smelt like cheetos and hot ranch in there most of the time too.

Charlene Oasnon

First time here and not even 30 minutes in, we had been having issues: our scores weren't being recorded, we would have to send balls down the lane several times because the pin cycles wouldn't restart; we moved lanes three times; the employee wasn't a help at all. They don't wven offer refunds. Do not come here, not worth it.

Prince Torres

30$ for 2 people/3 games(shoes included). My pair had a chunk of it rip apart. Aside from that its was nice. Lots a people having fun and really happy when they get a strike! And the balls are heavy!

Winter Heart

This place still has the same uncleaned orginal carpet from 1994. It's in bad shape. Yet you can still bowl and everything is good and working on the bowling aspect.

Dominic Hains

The place is destroyed

Matthew the Magician

The bowl o drome is the worst. The balls were dented. And the floor was crooked so the ball was going the opposite way that you wanted it to go. I recommend never going there.

Élisa Grothé

(Translated) It's a mess when the alley is not straight (Original) Ça fait bin dûr quand l'allée est pas droite

John Balanca

I really don't know how this place is still open. The alleys are slightly crooked, the balls are all dinged. Yes they're cheap and they can accommodate a good group and they do have friendly service.

benim ergani

Shut it down... The Place is no longer capable of maintaining it integrity. Stained carpets. Water falling from the ceiling. Chipped balls, bathroom stalls with a out of service sign that’s been up for months. Only the casino machine are in use. You can try your luck on that. At least

Leonid Chukhovsky

Needs major renovation, rundown equipment and I'm really surprised that they are still in business. I would stay away from food too, but staff was trying to do they best, just not much one can do in such situation. Parking is another problem and I don't see myself going back.

Tyler Katz

One word: ghetto. I'm not sure how this building is still standing, or how this place is still open. With that being said, it makes for an interesting evening of late night bowling if you have nothing else to do, and have already had a few beers.

Martin Mayrand

Outdated and need improvement but it's ok

Sharon Sintim

It was pretty empty and the ceiling is broken in some places. They wouldn't allow us to your 6lbs balls so we had to use the heavy balls so everyone's arms were hurting after the game. The pool table wasn't functional and the place just looks like it needs some TLC. The game wasn't too expensive and included shoe rentals. Despite everything, we made it a great evening.

Chanchal Patel

Got to Bowl-o-drome at 4:45pm and the owner said it was past 5pm and the prices changed and we had to pay more. I don't mind paying a few extra dollars but I don't understand why they keep their clocks 15 minutes in advance...

Edward Kusiewicz

Old equipment

baqlawaman

Best bowling spot in Montreal!! The staff is handsome and helpful, its very viby and vintage (thats 2 of my favorite 3 V's ????).

Pierre Castonguay

This place is a reck& dump ????

Victor Darias

Worst of the Worst bowling alleys I ever been too. All the bowling balls were damaged with chunks missing, the holes were damage. The alley are dented. I will no return or recommend anyone to go.

John Hale

Balls available for public use were of poor quality, slow service and then tried to extort our group for extra fees related to a cake we brought despite outside food being readily visible and consumed elsewhere.

edo mobile

Old but gold

marian Pieklo

Well you could bowl there or have a couple of games of pool.Plus they have soccer table and if you would like to gamble too.

Jamal Abdallah

The employee at night is rude and kind of incompetent

steve brodeur

(Translated) Service to improve (Original) Service a ameliorer

JModory

loved my experience! will recommend to all my friends

Masieh Amani

Expensive for what they offer. the balls are very old and need to be replaced. Everything is outdated.

Jordan A

ITS A DUMP

Janice Gagnon

Without prejudice. This place is the dirtiest and most unkept bowling alley I have ever seen. Owner won't to any repairs when it rains the roof leeks and careful of your ball. I know of many who had their ball damaged Location is the ONLY reason we bowl there.

Karim Benmbarek

Alleys aren't to levelled. Balls are chipped. You almost have to throw of aim to score points. Sometimes the system jams and you have to press the reset button. Everything is old and obsolete. It is dirty and unsanitary with mold on the ceiling and flies in the washroom. Would not recommend to anyone who wants to play an actual bowling game.

Mr. Andy

This place either needs to be torn down and rebuilt or major renos.shoes for bowling are the same as 20 years ago dirty.but can go if you dont mind slumming it

FK

Worse customer servicr experience. Machines are not working. Reset button does not reset. Worker was laughing and insulted us of stupid.

Timothy Wright

Roof was leaking, balls were in poor condition, and the scoreboard were glitchy. Not a bad price though, but you get that which for what you paid.

danielle yelle

(Translated) Good atmosphere for bowling, but could have better toilet care and some paint would be appreciated. (Original) Bonne ambiance pour jouer aux quilles, mais pourrais avoir meilleur entretien des toilettes et un peu de peinture serait appréciée.

Nick Chronopoulos

Good staff, but unfortunately the place is showing it's age....

David Perron

Bowling, bar and slots.

Truppak

Need to renovate badly. But still ok for a cheap game even though machine breaks everytime

Andy Augustin

Not very good. The machines are defective (Once hit a strike it gave me a spare. Gutter balls counted like if you hit one lin...) Continuously have to press the "reset" button. Staff is very friendly but the installation really need updating.

martin cedilot

(Translated) First and last time that I come here in my whole life, the balls are completely destroyed, the gone ... in triangle, poor quality. (Original) Première et dernière fois que je que je viens ici de toute ma vie, les boules son complètement détruites, les allé... en triangle, piètre qualité.

Dao-Huy Hua

Worst place to play bowling I ever been. Alleys were not leveled, balls were crappy.

Ernest Westphal

The bowling alley is someone outdated and in need of repair. Bowling balls have seen better days . Overall though it still serves its purpose.

Felix Belanger

Don't bowl here. Take the drive to rose bowl. Most balls are heavily damaged and the lanes are warped as well. The shoes are filthy and the owner is rude. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Yuliana Delgado

Stinky washroom. Bugs in the washroom. Water leaking. Game damaged. Pay $30 for nothing. Empty.

mouselol68

Waste of money. The lanes are crooked and the place is falling apart. How does a shot which is straight and strong until 3 feet to the pins suddenly veere to the side? Easy...worped lanes. Many of the balls are broken where the holes are and they need to update their shoes as they were falling apart. My 7 year old left pissed off. I have never in my life scored 15 by the 4th frame. Don't bother!

Cory Collins

Good

ido sharon

Bad service and broken machines

samara

This is the worst bowling place in Montreal. Please go somewhere else. The place is falling apart, from the stairs in the entrance to the shoes to the lanes. Our computer screen would not register when we bowled so we would need to throw 3-4 balls during each turn. It didn't work at all. When we complained half way through the game and asked for a working lane or our money back, the owner was very rude. Horrible place.

Jean-Luc Audoin

(Translated) Back to the future ! Relive the 70s without traveling far, inexpensively. Not many people, it's very quiet and there are always free corridors. Home little warm, but hey ... You'll laugh with your friends, not with the cashier, be warned. (Original) Retour vers le futur ! Revivez les années 70 sans voyager loin, à peu de frais. Pas grand monde, c'est très calme et il y a toujours des couloirs libres. Accueil peu chaleureux, mais bon... Vous rigolerez avec vos amis, pas avec la caissière, soyez prévenus.

Ali Mac

Out dated old and nasty

L “Coco Butter Queen” Calder

No a.c you can smell the mold ....urgh no just no. If it was renovated it would be alot better because it is a big space

sandra o neal

Lanes are not crooked may be you were not a happy camper so you had bad experience, Some come out happy bowlers.try positive approach next time.

Bill

THIEFS! They stole my money, transaction didn't go through that night, andI2 days later it's on my statement... As someone else said, DO NOT GO HERE. Terrible service, plus someth6 illegal going on as they debit/credit machine never works and always told to use the ATM. I think it's just unplugged, big time scammers should be investigated.

Ashley Wakely

Worst bowling alley ever. We were a large group who payed for three games. Had to switch lanes during our first game because the computer stopped working and same thing happened during the beginning of our third game. Owner refused to move our lane over again and refused to compensate for us not being able to even play our third game. There's a lot of water damage and water leaking from the ceiling. The lanes are wrapped and the balls are very old and mishapen. Save yourself the trouble don't go here.

Summer Maqdassy

Worse bowling place ever, place is falling apart, VERY old, and on top of that the staff are rude. This place should be demolished!

Ongelle Mckenzie

Just ughhhh
