First time going there last night and I had the best time everrrr. Their drinks are a 10/10. Their long islands were great (a little pricey but worth it). Their food was amazing. I had the fried chicken sliders which were delicious. We played 2 games and took our time eating and drinking. I didn’t feel like we were being rushed like some of the reviews on here. My only complaint is the bartenders are a little rude and came off a little racist. One of the bartenders said something smart to a friend of mine because of where he was standing near the bar. However, another woman of the opposite race was standing there and he didn’t say anything to her. Other than the bartenders, I had fun.

Very nice bowling alley, came in with a group of 15 and they accommodated us without a long wait.

It’s a good bowling alley with lots of lanes. They have decent food and drinks. They do not excel at lane management. They will limit you to a certain time and aren’t flexible with extending it. We were forced off our lane when time ended, asked for more time since there was more open lanes and they told us we couldn’t there was a waiting line. After we got off our lane, the lane sat empty for over an hour. Never seen a business that doesn’t want you to stay and keep buying food and drinks.

This is a really nice bowling alley/lounge; make reservations if you need to. There are only about 15 lanes, so you may have to wait. They allow patrons to play two games max, so that does free up lanes quickly. They have a full bar, pool tables, and several arcade games for added activities. There is a lounge area to the left of the entrance with booths and tables.

Do you have to be vaccinated to gain entry?

Yes. To go into the building (as opposed to the beer garden) you need to have a vaccine card (I showed them on my phone) and ID that matches.

Is your building Handicap accessible, do you have an elevator.

Vernette Johnson | Oct 31, 2021
Michael Mak | Nov 1, 2021

South Bowl has handicap parking and a ramp in the front of the building at the corner of Oregon Ave and Swanson St. They do not have an elevator to get to the 2nd floor but South Bowl usually uses that for private events only.

is good place for kids

Felipe Lorenzo | Nov 4, 2019
Dozia Blakey | Nov 5, 2019

Omg yes it is. They have tater tots and pizza on the menu and plenty of kid sizes in bowling shoes. They offer gaurd rails that rise upon the sides for kids and ball guides for lanes when they bowl. My son loves it! Great for a kids morale and they really enjoy watching the ball roll at 2 Mph.. Definitely a must try.

Any food recommendations?

Stephen Ditsche | Nov 4, 2019
Sok Pek | Nov 5, 2019

Mostly bar type food, their signature stuff is tator tots. Unless you're there during the day there's a brick oven pizza joint inside

If 6 ppl go bowling at regular price on regular hours how much would it be?

Roshetta Baldwin | Nov 4, 2018
Lynette Lowman | Nov 5, 2018

We went on a weekend during "regular hours" and it cost us $25 to $30 for just two of us. That includes the price of two games and shoes. Then again you can give them a call for all of your questions.
