Blackhawk Bowl and Martini Lounge

Sarah Lentz-Kapua

We had been here in the past and always enjoyed our time. We reserved the VIP bowling area as we had 4 kids and 4 adults. We reserved 2 hours.. Even though that area is expensive we had to go down to the bar area to get our own drinks. Not that big of a deal. Then we ordered some pizza and pretzels for the kids. Well…. Since there was only 1 person down there you can imagine how that went….. the VIP area lanes kept messing up and needing to be reset. The balls kept getting stuck in the back. The one lane completely shut down in the middle of our second game. The guys were back there for a long time trying to get it fixed but it never did start functioning correctly. We just have up playing on our lane. They said a couple of times they were trying to give us more time. That never happened. But we were good and just wanted to leave. One would think they would have comped most or all of the second hour ($150 per hour), but they didn’t. Instead the comped our food. (Maybe $60). Some of the food should have been comped as well because the pretzels were cold inside and the beer cheese that they came with was barely warm and super clumpy. Very disgusting looking. Suffice it to say we will not be visiting this establishment again and they should definitely close the VIP area until that area can be maintained appropriately!

I wish I could give this more stars because the staff and bar and music is fantastic. The reason that I am giving this one star is because the bowling alleys need maintenance. There is no oil on the lanes so the bowling experience itself is bad.

Very pleasant venue for bowling birthday party. Enjoyed my visit very much. Ball selection was a little tight on the finger holes but the evening was a great success anyway.

Great building, nicely renovated (it does have a few problems with the brick in the upper part main entrance). Cool bowling concept in the basement... thanks it! The rooms are ok, but poorly detailed you can see the laker in the furniture poorly applied, I had breakfast and the waiters had her hands dirty, as well as the fabric napkin. Breakfast (Benedict eggs), was “just all right” to have a “prizes” on food... for the quality of hotel that’s expected it is extremely poor . As I was living (with a bag on one had and the coat on the other), 3 gentlemen and a lady (Sean to be the manager), politely wished a good trip... none offered to get the door, again poor service level.
