Reviews of Bowl-A-Vard Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Alex

Spent 10 bucks on the TouchTunes Jukebox so I could turn the country off. It said my songs were playing but it was definitely still country playing. Basically stole my 10 bucks lol.

Bøñë- Såw

Bowling is fun for everybody.

Olivia Shields

Bowlavard used to be one of my favorite places to go, for the arcade and bowling, but after these last few experiences, I’m not coming back. The staff has become very hostile and clearly not happy with their jobs. The last night I went, I was there for a friend’s birthday. Not only did the woman with the half shaved head, deny us 2 hour bowling when we were 5 minutes late, but she yelled at my group twice, from 3 lanes over. Ex.) One of our bowlers was mid-frame when the screen shut off. He had already taken his turn and the lady yells “if your lane is off, you are NOT BOWLING” when clearly it had just gone off. Very terrible customer service from her. (Shoutout to the worker at the bar that still let us order food @ 11:55 when the kitchen closed at 12.) She should take a lesson about customer service from that guy.

Jim Carlson

I played there with my band about a month ago and we had a great time. They had a very good setup for bike night. The ownership and staff were fantastic to us. Looking forward to coming back again.

Tarik Amach

New touch screen system, easy to use with front camera to customize each bowler. They also have a new arcades corner, so if you have not been there for a while, well go again and you will like the new upgrade.

Matthew Lehr

Bartenders were attentive, but our game ended early since one players time was up, while 3 others still had 20 minutes. More to the point they skipped music on the jukebox while we were the only patrons. The reasoning given was "people can pay to skip" which it was my song next so that didn't happen. Then she came back with sometimes songs just randomly skip, this was the only one and she continued to dance all over her boyfriend to the song she wanted to hear which was mine (wannabe, spice girls) this incidence of lost jukebox money was my only real concern lanes functioned properly.

Cole R

The bar area is big, they have okay pool tables and the staff was friendly. There are plenty of lanes of bowling and the price was right. Fun place to go with a group and seemed like a good atmosphere.

Karen Woodson

Great place for bowling and bands.

Nicholas DiPiazza

Great staff. They make me tea cuz I don't drink. It's a pain and makes them very little money but they cater to me anyway

Chris Aspinwall

I had a good time

Jan Pilon

Fun band and outside bar.

Derek Felmeten

I asked for greasy cheese burger i got one it is the best i have had in long time bar tender Greg was wonderful

Shawn McGrath

Great bowling and arcade games. Also good drinks and food. Nothing to complain about.

Andi Cloud

Went to check the bar. It was very disappointing. The bar service was slow. And the bartender was very rude to us. I don't think I would ever go back there.

Lukas H

This is my new favorite place to bowl! Updated bowling machinery and a huge arcade makes this an awesome place to bowl!

Bri Taylor

I always have so much fun when I am here. Modern tech for game setups, pay by the game or pay by hour, drinks or food or arcade games--lovelovelove

Elizabeth Blindauer

Great family setting. Also great food!

Sophorn Tep

They did a good job reinventing the place up to date but the service was mediocre when it comes to bar tenders and ordering food. I wasn't able to order food at 11:10pm and the bar tender said they closed the kitchen at midnight. I wasn't going to argue with her, however, I was really hungry.

sandra welch

My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at Bowlavard Lanes and it was so great! Our guests had a blast and it was easy to forget we were actually in a bowling alley! We had a buffet with Chicken, Beef, baked potatoes and corn. Chicken was so good, beef was ok, baked potatoes perfect! There were a few miscommunications among staff along the way when it came to pricing and other details but in the end it worked out great. I did a lot of research during planning and having our reception at the bowlavard was the best way to get the most for our money, we saved thousands of dollars. I would recommend purchasing your own tablecloths as the ones provided were paper, we had our own tablecloths, chair covers and it transformed the space. So, if thinking about hosting your reception, or large party at bowlavard, it's a great idea! Just make sure you are very clear about your expectations and what you order to help with any potential miscommunication :)

Tia Ekern

Fair rates. Fun times. Themes are fun! Shoes smell a little though.

Jane Doe

Nice place. Lots of lanes. We came from Lacrosse for a tournament. The staff were friendly and handled the large crowd well. We look forward to coming back next year.

Michael Danielsen

Great outdoor patio. Great place to watch the Brewers.

Michael Riese

Bike night has started, that is a huge plus

Samuel Martino

Great experience worth the 15$

Hats a little

Good food, great atmosphere,

Levi Bozacki

The nachos they have get a 5star but the bowling was not good. The lane I was on broke down three times and the last time it was so bad they had to move us to a completely different lane. I think its time for some upgrades if you ask me.

Amanda Shohoney

Best bowling alley in Madison...hands down. Hourly lane rates, good drink specials. My boyfriend and I come here almost weekly...no other bowling alley will do!

Brett Drew

Car night and bike night are great! This is a really fun place!

Lisa Avila

We went to see the Badger Game and stayed to see Angels and Outlaws. Fun Night!

Jason Whitley

Went there for our volleyball league. Nice courts and fine judges. Wish there were bathrooms outside or a convenient entrance to inside from the courts. Ordered pork nachos and they were awful. Shredded cheese over them (online menu said cheese sauce, they need to update that). They were dry and bland and just overall not good. Bartenders and servers seem decent.

D.J. Stewart

Good bowling. Good beer. Good prices. Good people.

Jason Corbin

this place is way cool. with great food. not overly-priced and very friendly wait staff who takes ownership and pride in their service. the thursday night band is always fun, though a bit crowded during the pandemic. yet, we stayed. it was especially impressive how early the band tore down - didn't go into work hung over friday morning because there wasn't encouragement to stay late.

Linda Yamben

Went for drinks. It was okay, reasonably priced. Kind of a dive in a good way.

Alyanna cooper

They should have the night glow blowing

Aaron Floyd

We have a volleyball team that plays at Bowl-a-vard and we come back every year! The courts are the best in town and the atmosphere off the court is great. Nice large, outdoor bar area with TVs, good music, and always a good crowd.

Mary

Great lanes! Clean and nice

Madie Ashleigh

The bowling alley is pretty sweet but many of the employees always look like they are depressed.

Tony Nails Watters / Bøñë-Såw

Bowling is the best sport in the world once you figure that out there's nothing else you need to know.

John Robinson

Impressive facility. Very clean and high end. Lots of lanes. Big arcade. Nice bar area.

GRIZZ

Good lanes. Kind of steep pricing if u are only going to bowl one game. Also I could find a ball lighter than 8lbs for my son

Eric Gors

Good place to go bowling. . . Nuff said . .clean service was awesome and if u go on a Sunday nite it's unlimited bowling up to 5 ppl for 20 bones yo!!

Ryan Andrews

BIKE NIGHT HOST ON THURSDAY NIGHTS WOOHOOO! They usually get some really good local bands playing too.

Joshua Schultz

The lanes are great, staff seem good. It's pretty expensive though to bowl.

Amy Doty

The bartenders in the back band area were outstanding! Fast and accurate!! Wow, amazing guys. Great band, great food!

Paul Bahr

We've had probably 10 birthday parties during open bowling for my kids at BAV over the years. This year will be our last. In every instance, we've given them our credit card, took out however many pairs of shoes we needed, threw as many games as we wanted, and then settled up when we wrapped up. This time around, everything had to be prepaid - lines and shoes. We had to estimate how many bowlers we were going to have and ended up coming in too high. Setting up all of the bowlers we originally estimated seemed to screw up everything. We had to skip bowlers that weren't actual people. The skipping caused more problems abruptly ending several games that needed fixing by the less-than-accomodating staff. When I asked why we can't just open a tab, I was told that everything was now prepaid. When I asked when that changed, I was told at least two years ago. That's a line of bull because it wasn't that way when we were here last year. It's one of the reasons we came back this year. Between all of the prepay garbage and the games ending before completion, we're done. There are other houses in the area - one of them will get our $300+ business next time.

Andii Mtz

Nice--- nice

Shelly Rychecky

Good times! 20$ got us a lane for 4 unlimited time

Micah Z

The place was clean and staffed appropriately for our company bowling event.

Mike Neubauer

Love bowling here. The food is good and they have a great beer selection for pitchers. Always have a good time here.

Jim Zobjeck

Every Wednesday during summer outdoor live band no cover charge, antique or old cars. Thursday nights 6 to 10 is motorcycle night outdoor entertainment during summer week.

Katie Gelhar- Stahl

Modern, fun bowling alley. Good food!

William Bonfiglio

Fun place. Good food, good service, lots of games.

Carl Jaske

Great place to bowl, but better place to grab a drink. Has an event hall. Tons of TV's.

Linda L

Got a great Groupon deal and checked out this bowling center. Nice lanes, updated electronics and they have wine & craft beer leagues!

Joel Pollen

Decent bowling alley with reasonable prices. My friend had a hard time finding an appropriate ball from their house selection.

Therese Bethel

Here for a birthday party, and it went great with everything they provided for the kids! For bowling it was easy to enter names and set up bummpers too. Kids loved the pizza and drinks and the little goodie bags that the staff provided.

Jon Mick

Car show was huge.

Alan Sherman (Sherm)

Bowling was fun, Food was good, service was just okay fun place overall!

Christian

Really, tell everyone why you hated this place.... Took over 35min to find someone who was actually capable of just tapping a beer. Lame sauce!

David Watts

Very Family Friendly. My family always have a great time and receive great service from staff.

John Winters

Friendly wait staff with massive portions of food, good drinks too

Benjamin Ganclin

Fun arcade, fun bowling, pretty cheap.

Eric P

Came for my girlfriends friend’s bday and witnessed the whole group get treated poorly by the female employee with the half-shaved head. She was very rude to us from the start. We arrived around 11:05pm and weren’t allowed to do 2-hour bowling even though we said we’d be okay with losing the last 5 mins. This meant we couldn’t bowl on the same lane as the bday party. She also yelled at us from several lanes away at the exact moment the 2hours expired and as one of our bowlers was mid-frame when the lights went off. Also, the bartender served me a double malbu pineapple for $6 and a margarita for $7...didn’t make any sense to me. Overall, I was not impressed and I’m never coming back here. Schwoegler’s bowling is WAYYY better!

Jessica Werner

Great lanes

Miranda Meyers

We went to Bowl-A-Vard last night as part of our date night in hopes of bowling two games. We had been aware that they were having an event tonight and planned accordingly to avoid it. When we arrived, maybe 10 lanes were in use out of 40 and we were told there was nothing available because they weren't "clean" or anything and it would be about a half hour. So we stuck around and checked back in a half hour later, and the staff seemed annoyed with us asking to bowl. They were rude and snippy and said they still didn't have anything and wouldn't for awhile. We promptly left. Very terrible service in the bowling alley area.

TJ Dowling

The food is hit or miss. I've was a regular that stopped 3-4 times a week for pool and food, but constant staff turnover seems to have effected the food. Get the right cook, the juicy Lucy will make your knees buckle and thank God your a man... Or a women, but it's a pretty manly burger...

Anthony Hahn

Great place for bowling, shooting pool, cheap food and drinks.

ItzMatt_Greenbenz

Best for bowling

Twamp Thing

Bowling and fun games

Chuck Thomas

Great band and outside bike night.

Logan B.

Basic bowling place. Food was not great. Had great prices for bowling. Even has an arcade

Kevin Conley

Mediocre weather in the lanes or at the bar. Needs new management... Again.

Joshawa Gray

Great Sunday deals. The bartender Chirs is awesome. The CBR pizza crust was a little undercooked. My meat lovers was great. The chicken wings were also really good!

Kerry E. furnauri

Great food, amazing staff and a really nice bowling alley!

Kamariq White

I loved playing bowling with all my family and friends ever ❤

vannigirl

Great bowling alley. Have never came in and not been able to bowl, have a ton of lanes. Would definitely recommend this bowling alley.

Hotba

Probably one of the best places to bowl in Madison. 36 lanes, very cheap hourly rates, cheap beverages, a nice arcade for kids, and friendly, casual staff. Biggest downside is probably the location, as it's kind of a haul from pretty much anywhere.

YDK- Astro

Good food really good pizza and ok service great place to go bowling

4wesomeAdam

This place is so much fun. Music during the summer.

KC Kola

Exceptional fries from the grill. Bowling by the hour versus by games bowled accounts for only 4 stars.

Rachel Westberg

I personally just visited the bar part of this bowling alley but was very pleased with everything. The bartenders were on top of everything and I was quickly served. Food is great too!

Sheila Williams

Lov bowling and I don't care where I bowl at

Jenna Voegeli

It is fun! You might have to wait for service, but other then that, it is a fun time with great food.

Mrs. J Roth

Nice that they have a Proshop in house, I wish the hours weren't so limited (night hours during the week, 12 on Saturday, closed on Sunday). The man who works there is friendly enough though and helpful as well. The lanes were clean, it wasn't too busy, we had a good time.

Ashlie

The touch screen at each lane was neat, even though navigating through it wasn't especially intuitive. One in our party was suffering from a twisted ankle so we easily put up the bumpers so they could "compete" with the rest of us.

Kevin Vugrinovich

Updated, clean, modern and most impressively... Inexpensive Beer and Wings!!

Robert Kruchten

Great band and cocktails!

Kendra Inman

The two hour all you can bowl is a great deal.

Steve Hoover

Lots of nice, even lanes, the scorekeeping computers work very well and are easy to use, and the general feel of the place was very nice, clean, and open. I'd love to go back!

Henry Lennington

Twas pretty fun, good food for a bowling alley

Chris Spicer

I only started bowling in league here this last season and I am still surprised that the lanes here are better taken care of than at Prairie. I bowl at both houses but Bowl-A-Vard is not only a larger ally with more lanes but the oil patterns are much better. It's always been a puzzlement for me because both places are owned by the same person. If bowling isn't your thing though they have a large bar and even an arcade. Prairie is closer to home for me but I definitely like Bowl-A-Vard as well.

Andrew Sugden

Good service ????

Maribel Wells

Wednesday nights car show and live music, good deals and good food...

Q9 PowerSports

Went to go watch live music on 12-13-18 And celebrate a friends birthday at the bar in bowlavard. The bartender charged me throughout the night different prices for the same exact drinks that me and my wife where drinking the entire night, He must’ve thought I was getting drunk because by the end of the night he was really ripping me off and that pisses me off and this bartender should be fired, I didn’t confront him because I didn’t want to make a seen and get into a fight. Worst bar ever! Staff is ripping people off, right in front of their faces.

Joseph Harrison

music too loud but equipment in better repair than prairie lanes and decor more up to date.

Sandie Kisting

Celebrating my daughter's 21st birthday. They had gluten free pizza and let us bring in cake. Absolutely great time!

Melody Flinn

Ball cleaner didn't clean, dry wax all over my ball. Service is excellent.

Jason E Burkholder

Great Service from the whole staff......but the Food was Terrible, next time we just bowl....

Bob D

Great bowling... outstanding beer selections

Brad Hanner

Friendly staff, offered me specials, did was good. Recommend. Thank you

Rodney Phillips

It's a very nice place to have a lot of fun.

Lord Drake (Joshua Wilson)

Would you mind turning down the bass at a decent hour so those of us who live near by can get some rest?

John Schoerner

GREAT FOOD and good place to HAVE fun!!

James Fitzgerald

Always a good time at car night. Respectful people, and the owners are nice people. Much better than the usual car meets on Friday and Saturday nights, a much more mature crowd. Good food for sale as well.

patricia achilli

Fun staff, reasonable prices, good food

Jeana Corrado

Love the place so does my 10 yr old

Tom Edwards

Went for the bike night not to bad

Lexy Frautschy

Nice lanes. Decent food. Good, fast, and friendly service. They also have a small arcade area.

Jon Lehman

We had two bowling ball drilled very helpful.

Leo Cross

Good times. Very open layout for bowling and dining in the bar.

Laura Connor

Awesome to hear Roadtrip Band!

Dawn B

So much fun with the kids! Great time, amazing memories, and the appetizers we ordered were so good.

Charles Clay

Best place to bowl, drink, play pool and sometimes listen to live bands.

SOPHIA CLARK

Had a great time and I can't even explain how great the girl was with the half shaved head was.

Megan Schultz

DO NOT ORDER THE CHICKEN SANDWICH! It's pre-cooked and has artificial grill marks, tastes terrible and is definitely overpriced. Manager only credited me half of my money back because I had eaten the fries and one bite of the bun that it came one. NOT IMPRESSED!!!Should be removed from their menu.

Beth Gelhar

$5 all you can bowl on Monday's just can't be beat. This place is cleaner than a LOT of WI bowling alleys I've been to. Newer technology on the lanes is fun and interesting. I look forward to returning.

Maxwell Bado

Surprisingly awesome

Jason Boynton

Excellent bowling ally, my only complaint is the variety of rental bowling balls...seem to have a lot of 14 lbs and up and lighter than 10, but not much inbetween

Justin Heier

Nice place, but a little pricey for some of the beverages.

kristen Brantner

Didn't even go in! Parked in the lot got ready to go in but activity by the door then walk too cars seemed like more was going on then just bowling and a few drinks at the bar

logonpavan

Very poor lanes. We got lane# 25 and the pins are falling apart on setup. The lanes need serious service. It was completely disappointing to play here. When I complained about the issue, they didn’t even apologize. Take a look at the photos I attached before anyone visit this place. I am never ever going to come here again.

Charlotte Patenaude

Fun times, nice enough arcade, friendly staff. Only issue is the root beer was flat. Other sodas were good.

Sky Marie

A few of my coworkers and I decided to go bowling for a friends birthday and one of the workers there (wouldn't give me her name when asked for it, but she has brownish hair with on side of her head shaved). She was SUPER RUDE to everyone in my party. First off when we asked about getting a two hour game, she replied "no you can't get a two hour game" without telling us a reason. Second, one of us was going to bowl for a friend and this employee yelled from across a few lanes "no shoes no bowling" in a rude tone of voice, but we shrugged it off. The third incident is the last string and is the reason for this complaint. A friend was bowling and their second bowl came up, but as they were going to bowl, the game shut off because their time was up and LITERALLY AS SOON AS THE LANE WENT DARK, this rude a** employee yelled at them saying "If the lane turns dark, you're done bowling so stop!" and this made my whole group upset. This employee was incredibly rude and her attitude/the way she spoke was completely unprofessional. Employees are suppose to be nice, understanding, patient, and professional and had she have been, this complaint would not be happening, she could have handled the situations better with more respect and with better communication skills, yet she didn't. She could have easily have come to us and said "Sorry we can't do 2 hours this late, but we can start you off with one game", "Because you don't have bowling shoes on, I can't allow you to bowl, I'm sorry" and the last one, she totally jumped on my friend AS SOON as the lane went dark. She could have waited to see if they would stop after their turn and then said something. Honestly this whole experience(my first) was horrible because of this employee. Please do something about this.

Brittnee Wu

From looking outside you would have no idea how nice it is inside. The food is amazing and in big portions, there is a cute little arcade, pool tables a couple bars and of course bowling. My only complaint: We had multiple lanes open for a party, and we had some stuck balls. We hit the call attendant button and several employees walked by and nobody acknowledged us or anything.

T

This place is good for children’s field trips but in any other situation it’s ridiculously overpriced for both the actual games and for drinks. The bartender was rude.

Jennifer Fanis

Just threw a holiday party for me and 90 of my coworkers here. Very pleasant experience from start to finish! Colleen and her team were attentive to our needs and even planned things I didn’t think of, like having the pre-booked band set up before guests showed up to the party. The dinner tables were all set up and ready to go before I got there- very helpful! We had the beef tenderloin and cod for our buffet dinner and it was delicious! Kudos to the chef and kitchen staff! They were very vigilant on keeping fresh food available and water pitchers filled. Nobody left hungry that’s for sure! I had requested 2 bartenders but only had one on staff. This was perfectly fine because as it turns out this one bartender was on point! None of my guests had to wait long (if at all) to be served. Ive heard a lot of very positive feedback from my coworkers about this year’s holiday party and many have requested we do this again next year. They all had a blast with the various options of activities to do like watching the band, dancing, bowling, playing pool, and throwing darts. Thank you Bowl-A-Vard team!

J Connor

18$ a game. RIP off. Won't refund wont add time because bartender Tom 15 minutes to get us a drink. First and last time. Thanks for the life lesson.

Donald Fenne

***** nice arcade

Chodd Beatz

This place used to be okay when I first moved to Madison in 2008 now it's just dingy dirty outdated and really not that fun you might as well find other entertainment seeing that this is the only bowling alley Madison has to offer I'm so happy I moved from there

Tommy Moriarty

The wings were amazing!

Shahira MS

It was an event organized by our management at work. The food had ingredients that were not mentioned in the menu. It made me sick for three days.

Philip Ivey

Had a lots of fun dancing live band. Also played pool!

N Moreno

Front desk lady is very rude. Rather than coming and enjoying ourselves till we are ready to leave and than pay for everything we now have to guess how many games we will play and than prepay for every game. Rental shoes were very sticky, bumpers didnt work, lane kept sweeping away all pins after first ball. Ended up leaving after the first game. This place has changed for the worse.

Russ Micke

Also a good time; and they good daily deals.

Lora McKeown

Seen a band there. A little warm. No one had masks on. People that were bowling didn't have many masks but some people did.

Josef Burger

Bowlavard used to be a pretty fun place to visit. They cut back on staff and their great food, such as their delicious Friday fish fry. Now you have to stand around a long time to be served. It still has good food, but it takes a while to get drink or food.

Andrew Phelps

A good place to go and have a get together with friends/family. You never realize how fun bowling can be until you are there with people that make you laugh.

Kathy Lloyd

I was here a a Color Street Stylist at a vendor event being held there.

Jennifer Denson

A great time,best service

kari hailey

Nice updated game room. Very very very toddler birthday party/ bad bowlers friendly.

dean siewert

Clean facility with modern equipment. Nice pricing model: $9 for 1 hour per person, $10 for 2 hours (shoes included). Or, you can also pay by the line if you want. Will be going back.

Jamie Kaufmann

Fun place great lanes, good food and drinks, fun place to go!

Josh Klug

Food was ok and service was terrible. Three bartenders, two sitting down behind the bar and one actually working. Six guests in bar area and we wait 10 minutes for a fresh drink. Mediocre at best.

Shanton Collins

It was fun

Stephano mixer

Bike night during the summer is always great! Live music events are always fun but drinks and food ar overpriced for a bowling alley!

Kenny Ruhland

Very good Friday fish

Jacob Krol

Really fun, family environment. And it's super cheap on discount days. We'll definitely be back again

Xeng Vang

We ran into the same issue with the lady with the under shaved hair. We asked to switch lanes because we wanted to be closer to the bar. There was like 20 open lanes by the bar but she insisted she cannot do that. A manager on duty came and said the same thing, they cannot move us. I don't understand why you would not move your customers closer to the bar. It's a win win situation for you. You get money from bowling and more money from the bar. They were so rude about it that we just left. This place needs to understand that if you please your customer, they will always come back. The minute you disrespect them, them and their whole family and friends will never come back. It's such a simple request to please your customer and they can't even do it. It's sad that they don't understand that customers are their life line.

A K

This place is currently holding a bowling tournament with a large crowd and over 99% of the crowd has no masks on. There’s not only a mask mandate in effect but also, at the time of this review, no decrease in hospitalizations and weekly INCREASES in cases among vaccinated and unvaccinated folks. It’s disgusting. I’ve been to other tournaments where the bowling alley limits the guests and enforces mask policy; this establishment is the first one I’ve been to that has supported anti-masking. Completely irresponsible and 100% avoidable situation here.

Dawn Coleman

Nice place for food.

A Wolfe

This place is pretty cool. Saw a band in the arena part. Bartenders were good, drink prices reasonable.

Rich Treakle

Very nice bowling lanes and nice bar area.good waitresses.

Edward “Mikey” Johnson

Been many years since I have been here but came in last weekend. Not sure when they renovated but the improvements are very nice.

travelle tucker

Made my woman. 4 year child and I sit outside at closing time rather allow us to sit in bar area and also didnt let the massage chair finish that I paid for because I was a minority. Then when I asked the woman for her name she ran in back and not answer.

Joel R

I just waited at the control desk for over 5 minutes and did not see a single employee. There was also a group of patrons waiting for help at the bar that were not being helped. I will take my business elsewhere.

Phil Leighton

Great place to bowl since 1951.Im the last of the original Bowl-a-Vard Whizkid.

Cherise Nova

Great deals, awesome arcade. Better than the old Rocky's

Chris Shank

Great place to take the family out to bowl and super food

Robert Johnson

Hated the lanes... could not see the marks because the lights reflected too much... Also, could not see the pins all the way...

Raquel Gutierrez

Good was ok

Justyne Dalske

Good cheese curds. Popular for league nights.

M Lee

Just bought chicken wrap but there was only two little cubes of chicken in the tortilla. And the fries are still kinda hard not cooked all the way, v sad. Waitresses and bartenders v nice tho

beth sippy

Great atmosphere great staff great beer and bands

John Clark

Very nice for bands. Like DS Juken. ..

Marie Iverson

Great place to bowl. Needs more room for Tournaments

Josh Hellman

Late night for closers. Definitely appreciate you guys for letting me come get a drink after work!

Kaller Jones

Family fun. This place is upgraded. The bowling shoes are newer. There were light weight balls for the kids and adults. This place It has a full sports bar. The Kitchen boasts a large array of menu items. LOL Be careful, the bill will get up there before you know it. Everything was good but I don't suggest the nachos. It's a large portion but not worth the $. Prepare to loose the little ones to the game room.

Dawn Valenta

Thank you so much for a great time!!! Jeff, Jenna and that tiny girl behind the bar are awesome!!! Your staff made state so much fun!!! Fyi... Great food too!!! Thank you!!

ben white

Bowling is going to be the same almost everywhere. the food was good. had a great time. not too loud, good atmosphere. if looking for a place to bowl this is a great place.

S Leisman

Great deals on Mondays and Tuesdays ????

Sedenia Furlow

Very clean and comfortable

Hattie S

Make sure they put you in the right volleyball league. They don't consider your experience level, they just want bodies to fill the spots. And don't expect a refund. Lazy management. Never playing there again.

victor malbury

SCAM! I spent 30$ at the ticket arcade, when I went to cash in for some prizes the rude lady at the prize booth said I had no tickets even though I won over 1,000 tickets! DO NOT GO HERE!

Danny Judkins

If I could give it a zero I would. Very rude workers, said we wanted to bowl til closing, didn't let us. Machines and lane didn't work the whole time and wouldn't give us the time that their machines didn't work. Then we left and they kept talking about us, very immature.

Leslie Sainsbury

We were here for State Tournament and have never had a more disappointing experience at a bowling alley. The staff for the tournament check in and brackets new what was going on, but the staff that worked for the alley appeared clueless and very fluster in many different situations. Waitress brought wrong drinks, prices on the drinks changed with almost every order, ordered an adult beverage and it was delivered to a different lane and then she brought it back about 15 minutes later. Ordered beef nachos, without black olives, and we got nachos without beef, returned them and they came out with beef and black olives. Just prior to starting practice we had a staff member come through the sitting area with a mop bucket, leaving water splashes behind her, no clue. 7 minutes of practice took about 5 minutes to get the lanes even turned on. Had wrong names up on the pairs of lanes for several teams. Intercom system sucked, unable to hear the National Anthem and announcement of achievements during bowling...... Disappointedwomensstatebowlers2019.

Kirstina Bias

Bowl-A-Vard had 19 lanes open, they charge bowling by the hour. I ask to bowl for one hour from 8-9p.m I got there about 7:30ish. They told me with 19 Lanes open. I could not buy an hour of bowling, Because they had a party coming in at 9 pm. So when I ask the boy behind the counter. Why? Because its not even 8 yet? I gotta pay by the hour, and your party doesn't come in for an hour and 30mins? With 19 Lanes open why can't I bowl,? He turned and walked away ????And left me standing there. So people make you feel so unwelcome because of the color of your skin.

bosbaba840

Kids love bike night here

Well maintained alleys and nice scoring systems. There are at least 3 party rooms that you can rent out to have get-togethers at. The largest one has a private bar available. Food is pretty basic (burgers, chicken, BBQ pulled pork) but has always been tasty and fresh.

I flew into Madison Wisconsin and stayed with friends who took me to Bowl A Vard Lanes on the east side of Madison. On this night it was biker night and they had a band playing. We did eat and had a great burger and fries and it was very good and we had to get FRIED CHEESE CURDS. When in Rome, get the cheese curds. They are awesome and you can get them on quite a few places. Culver's sells them and I am so happy that they are in Texas to satisfy my need to eat some fried cheese curds. Oh yeah, now if they could also sell Spotted Cow beer I would be in heaven. Ok back to Bowl A Vard Lanes. Sand volleyball courts, bands, bowling, nice bar and grill its got a little of everything for everybody. I suggest you stop in and check this place out.

Clean bowling alley with a good number of lanes. Has bumpers and those little ramps for those who need them and enough TVs for those who want to watch the game.

Grandson and daughter bowled. We had burgers which were really good.

Carmella Beattie

Food was good, but did not match menu description. Said roll, was plain bread said pile of thin sliced turkey, was two slices, said side of mayo, did not receive.

Joe Maly

4 pool tables, making this a choice location for a game of pool as well as bowling. Lots of space for family and friends, and great food their cheese curds and fried pickles are unbeatable. They also serve pretzel bites with cheese for all you lovers out there.

Had a previous issue with booking a work party, but the Manager/Owner made it right! Very courteous and understanding and apologized for the inconvenience. Our last visits had always been pleasant and this one hiccup put a sour taste in our mouths, but Adrianna went out of her way to show that customer service is their priority. Thank you, Adrianna. We will see you for future bookings :)

I've only bowled here a couple of times, but I have had fun every time. Though I find it hard not to have fun while bowling (no matter how bad I am). The new fangled screens they have on the lanes are also super nice and definetly make the experience more enjoyable. Overall great place to bowl.

Special Olympics State Tournament. Staff was superb. Great day.

To dark. It isnt very inviting because of the lighting and dreary paint sceem. Bowling area had food on floors and a gritty substance, you always had to wipe off your bowling shoes. Person at front desk is sitting way back against the wall and they cant see if you hit the help button for the multiple stuck bowling bowls.

Went early, nearly empty. Was fun basically your standard bowling alley. Really clean too.
