This place was awesome. The management, staff, and reception were great. I didn’t get to bowl myself, but the bowlers seemed to be having a great time. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. There is paid parking available in the building across the street. 👌🏽

I had my son’s 12th Bday there yesterday and the staff were fantastic. Kevin the bar manager on staff treated my son’s Bday as if it was his own kids and made the place feel like like home/family. Great pizzas, garlic knots and wings. Perfect night for my son!

We had such a great time at Ballroom Bowl! It’s a really fun spot for families, and my children loved it. The place has a great vibe, and everything felt super welcoming. The food was good, and the staff were so friendly and helpful the whole time. It’s definitely a kid-friendly place where everyone can have a good time. We’ll for sure be back!

We had a great experience bowling here, from making the reservation to the end of the experience. We found it really easy to reserve our timeslot since it didn't ask for a credit card to keep in the system. When we arrived, we were promptly given instructions after paying at the front counter. The entire venue is small and luxurious, with a very nice restaurant and bar area bordered by bowling lanes. The entire place seemed to only have approx. 8 lanes, but it was not busy in the slightest since we came around an hour before closing. Each lane has it's own tablet to display the game stats, which feels bougie and personalized. They also don't mandate changing shoes, which is a plus since everyone can be comfortable and it reduces the hassle of finding the right size and going back and forth. I would highly and only recommend coming during the late hours when the rates are discounted, since the difference is SIGNIFICANT. However, it's also important to reserve the timeslot, since they are often sold out. Overall, I will definitely visit again, even just for an hour of casual bowling. I would also love to try their cocktails and food menu!

I had such a great experience at The Ballroom Bowl! My girlfriend and I went for a late lunch and then did an hour of bowling, and honestly, it was perfect. We had a 12:30 reservation, so the place was completely empty when we arrived (they open at 12), which I personally loved—it made everything feel so relaxed. I was told that after 5 PM it gets really busy, which makes sense, but I think it’s still such a cute facility. The restaurant itself was amazing. They had half-price appetizers during happy hour (weekends and Mondays), which was such a great deal. We tried a few things, including their pizza and cocktails, and everything was absolutely delicious. Kate was our server, and she was incredible—friendly, attentive, and had such a positive energy. It really made the experience even better. The bowling was fun too! The hour session was clean, well-maintained, and just the right amount of time. My only suggestion would be that for people who spend a decent amount at the restaurant (say $100+), it would be nice if there was some kind of discount for bowling—it’s understandable that the restaurant and bowling are separate, but it could be a nice perk. Overall, I had an amazing t
