Justin DeBattista

Still just as fun as it was for birthday parties as a kid!

Kevin Yaschyshyn

Staff is amazing, best food menu of any bowling alley, 24 lanes all on 1 floor, dino ramps, they seem fine with dealing with younger bowlers as well.

C.A. Thomas

Lots of fun had by all!

Eric Torfason

Great lanes, fun time!!

Ryan Nother

I have walked by, I say keep walking

Paula green

Family friendly

Evan Poole

This is probably my favourite bowling spot in the city. Never too crazy there and a good selection of music.

Anirudh Pathak

Nice place to bowl. I'm still coming to terms with 5 pin bowling, would be even better if they could offer 9 pin options.

Sharan Gujjar

Small balls

Ezra Baer

I kinda missed and hit a 3 year old child.....with a bowling ball.....and it didn't stop crying......pretty annoying

Maksym Tazetdinov

Small balls.

robpaprox

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Interior has great visual design, very fun for both kids and adults. Decent food too! I've only ever done five pin bowling there though, not sure if they have a ten pin option.

Arman Khossain

Fun place and good food! Drinks menu limited though.

Aaron Lapointe

Great place to spend an afternoon. $30 for me and my daughter was pretty expensive for an hour of bowling.

Jordan Lange

It was a fun place to spend an hour bowling with my girlfriend. Some of the music videos playing on the screens at the front of the alleyway were a bit much and I might think twice about taking kids there for that reason.

David Luckay

Have lots of fun with the company fun day!

Justin Lynch

Always a really good time. Music there is up to date and it always seems full whenever I've gone.

Helu

Nice bowling place. Didn't like that they where out of cheese natchos... Like why?

Kevin Kowal

The staff are amazing. So helpful and attentive.

Atif Ul Aftab

Nice place for bowling though expensive

Nathan Hicks

They've just updated all of their terminals to tablets and flat screens - makes the place look really sharp. If you look, there are other things that are showing their age, but you don't really notice because the lights are always out. The food is ok, the staff is amazing though. Not as big as Academy Bowling, so make reservations is you're thinking of going.

Arnab Mandal

Very fun

Jaylea Smith

Always a great time for big groups. The scoring system is so sophisticated now. I still remember learning how to score in high school gym class.

Andrey

Newly upgraded system gives it a more futuristic feel. Good for kids or to go out with friends/family

Jason Salamandyk

There's no better place in Winnipeg. They go out of there way to provide new and fun experiences in bowling. Make it a day and go.

Raj Mannem

Great place for gathering and time to enjoy with family and friends.

James Dykstra

It's a nice 5 pin bowling alley. They've usually got good daytime deals, great for the family, during school holidays.

Roxanne Royer

(Translated) We could not take advantage of the "blacklight". We also forgot socks and we had to pay a lot to get them ... But we had fun anyway! (Original) Nous n’avons pas pu profiter des « blacklight ». Nous avions aussi oublié des chaussettes et nous avons dû payer cher pour en avoir... Par contre nous avons eu du plaisir quand même!

Dano Duncan

been there a zillion times with the kids... always the greatest staff, food and beverage service you could expect from a bowling alley... see you there soon !...

A.J. KO

It's bowling.

Melissa Van Benthem

Awesome date night venue!

Moinur Rahman

Having lots of fun there. Good place.

Harry T

Fun for kids

Bryce Bastiaanssen

Average bowling lanes and the customer service is probably the worst you'll ever receive, when it comes to food, its way over priced for what you get. Never order the nachos 22$ for 10 chips and a small sprinkle of cheese... Seriously never get food here

Kim McCarthy

I love these guys. Great place to go and have a great safe night.

AGR

Was fun until some ass put lil Wayne on and the worker had to turn the music off

Irfan C

Good place.

Navjot Garcha

High quality and not dated, best place to bowl

Kimberly Hogan

I enjoy dabbling in bowling every now and then. This place is great since it offers all you can bowl after a certain hour on some nights. Bowl till my hearts content!

Dave Kachanoski

Well organized. Totally automated. Not cheap.

Philippe Champagne

(Translated) Very good service. (Original) Très bon service.

Matt Capper

Great place! Summer specials are wicked!

Derek Schmidt

Fun time. Pricey compared to how it was when I was a kid, but it's been much much improved. Bathrooms need work

Ashley Camille Saulog

It was alright. Place was decently clean. I problem with it. Alcohol is a good price and food came pretty quickly.

Dustin Welsh

Great local place to bowl. Licensed!

Jon Parsons

It was good, disappointed that they didn't have automated bingo bowling. They said we can play it but have to write down our own scores.

Brian Lagat (MK CRAKEN)

There’s no rule for bringing in booze, yet after they waited for us to pay the next bill at a discount of 10$ from 14.69 they kicked us out July 31st 2:20 PM after they witnessed us taking booze the whole first game. Plus they denied us a refund yet we didn’t even take the second game. In addition we just enjoyed our own game and no one was affected all along. I think I’ve lost trust in this lane. Great job employees you know how to kill fun!! Just tell me what the kids at the left and our right would think, If they saw us drink beer, is that a good image to portray on the upcoming generation. Great thinking whoever, second explain why after we paid for the second game yet you watched us for the whole first game with no word.

THE NORM

It was a very nice atmosphere. Lots of room for everyone, a nice menu and good service. The systems are very creative with the bowling you can take pictures have players and play with the pictures and put funny things. Over all the really good experience

Shannyn Chambers

AMAZING LANES! food is amazing and the drinks is are exceptional, check this place out! We bowl as a team of ladies every week!

Nicely updated bowling alley. Had a fun time with my kiddos. Clean and family friendly

Great place to bring the family. Super nice staff. A little pricy and we kept running out of balls which takes time away but overall would definitely go back.

Neropedon268

Stephen Kaplan

Nice place to play a few rounds of bowling, but definitely feels a little overpriced.

trinidyAnna Travelogue

Went on a Friday night for a birthday. The staff was great and even with it being packed, were quick to serve as fast as they could. It was glow bowling which I didn't know, so remember to wear light colours so the blacklight will catch and glow your clothes! I would make my way back here for a group event again in the future. Good place for a night out in the south end of the city with a group of friends. @trinidyAnna.

Sergey Pochikovskiy

Small balls bowling. Looks like for kids

Hobbs mckay

Nice place, nice staff, but prices for drinks and food are jus ridiculous, other than that good place????

Michael Phelan

Solid bowling

Kevin McPhillips

How to review a bowling lane. Staff was suuuuper helpful and kind. It was well maintained and clean. Shoes were not ratty. Computer scoring systems where sophisticated and up to date. With touch screens and edits and themes. Deduct a star because it was full of TVs. We are out for an activity for a couple hours with family. We do not need screens showing advertisements and sports games. We are playing a game. That is the entertainment. The TVs were an annoying distraction. We will try to find a place without them next time.

Chris Crosbie

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We arent avid bowlers but we had a great time and will be back.

Rod N

Super fun place, good pricing!

Scott W

Always a fun time. Music is a so so sometimes

John van Popta

Kid friendly. Small shoe sizes down to kindergarten kiddies. Great value!

Stephan Harris

Cheap, good times

Mel D

Kids had fun. Lots of helpful staff. They have ramps for kids not strong enough to get the ball to the end.

Christopher Wright

Have been coming here for years, really the only bowling option in St. Vital now. Still a good time and friendly staff.

Tim Haines

Al Johnson

Great place to bowl, great staff, friendly clean, covid safe and very affordable. Love the place! New favorite

Alexander Williams

Upon entering this establishment, we were greeted with the much less then attentive staff that provided us a good view of there back for three minutes before we were served and provided lanes. As we came to our lane we saw that this super star of the bowling lanes had misspelled one of our groups names. The shoes provided would have fit snuggly if I happened to have a tumor bulging out of the top of my foot. Lacing the shoes like a football still rendered them loose enough to slip off like sandles. Our group had decided to lighten the mood by slipping a few quarters into the jukebox, but once again was met with disappointment as the music was barly audible over the lanes speakers. After five minutes of rolling the music was then cut off, a little unimpressed after examining the back of the lanes staff for another few minutes, I asked why the music had been turned off. The response was initially a lie, with the staff claming that the music was not turned off, then replaced with "we have league bowling tonight so we can't have the music too loud" exasperated I then requested a return on the money, to no avail, that I had spent to listen to music off of a jukebox that clearly should have been shut down or at least had a notice as to not use it until after league time. Trying to make the best of a bad situation, instead of walking out on our pre-paid games, our group began to joke and entertain each other with stories and anecdotes. Into our third game we are then approached by the staff who claimed that our being there was losing them business and if we didn't "keep it down" they would have to ask us to leave. Dakota Lanes. The place where fun comes to die.

Michael Kipling

Good times for the fam.

Keith Martin

Tyler W

It seems as though they have made some much needed improvements recently. They got some new furniture, new TVs, and lane screens.

mnobess1

Good time bowling. Beer and pizza as well.

You And Lucky Me

A small sign saying no booze will be appreciated next time, rather than charge us for the next game then kick us out. Edit-Why not kick us out before we paid for the next game but after approval of the transactions, the guy switched off our lane immediately, probably you didn’t like my skin or whatever. L

Alvina Fergstad

xllxKARNAGExllx

Was a great place in the past, I have not been in a long time. With the latest experience I would have to say I was not impressed. The food portions were terrible and when mentioned we were treated very immaturity. Food was thrown out and refunded.

fabio potenza

Very expensive!!

jose alexander Alfaro

Great place to play with the family and friends, they added big TV's and the location is really nice with big parking lots, you can have pizza and other stuff while you are playing.

R W

Pros: Friendly staff, Clean and well maintained, Updated lanes , Automatic scoring Cons: Open bowling always seems to be “glow” and is way too dark to see any lane lines. Reflection from large screens also makes it nearly impossible to see lane markings Large screens are always playing 80s or 90s music videos and make it hard to pay attention combined with moving lights also being shone on the floor. The rental shoes provide no “slide” so it’s like slamming on brakes when you approach the lane and throw the ball. Was told to bring my own shoes if I want any sort of smoothness. This would be okay if you’re with kids or don’t care about bowling or are drinking.

Moe Ali

Staff are really great though the balls were so small. It was like bowling in the kids section.. Everywhere. Steer clear if you want an authentic bowling experience.

Stephen

It's a little pricey, but it's really fun.

Faith Porth

Had fun five pin bowling

Chris Steinke

Had a fun time bowling here. Staff was very friendly!

Dan Paukovic

I'd like to thank Chad, Randy, and the nice folks at Dakota Bowling for the great experience our family, and friends had this Boxing Day. They were very helpful, and patient in explaining all the details when I called them to book the lanes for our family get together. The food, and service was great, and the staff made sure we were all well looked after. I'd definitely recommend Dakota Bowling for a fun time.

Donna Cuvelier

It was a little bit too expensive

Jason Kehler
