Reviews of Cove Bowling Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Stone Murphy

Little to no work has been done on this facility since the turn of the century. My guess is that the owner is milking every cent out of his ownership before selling off the property? It’s the only place to go bowling in the area, so if you’re in the southern Berkshires, don’t go bowling.

Brian Smith

Nice lanes, but the mini golf should be shut down. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I didn't want to upset my son so we played. That won't happen again.

Bradley Tetreault

Went to play the indoor miniature golf with kids the course was payable but in such disrepair with much broken and graffiti everywhere. Such a shame to see such a place decline so far.

Diane Carroll

Ok. Could use updating. Prices good

Jesus González

I wish I could rate it better, I had a good time with my friends there but the place need a major update, no shoes of my size and no balls I can use when there's only 5 lines in use, they play classic rock all the time (I have nothing against classic rock) but they should play a variety of music even when we don't request it, the bathrooms are far from being clean, I hope they can fix that since there's nothing else to do around this county.

Snack bar was closed and music requests didn't work, but fun nonetheless

My kids bowl every weekend. Good clean fun Good place to go

Eric Limon

The Cove has lots of lanes, so even on super busy nights it's pretty easy to bowl a few games. The prices are steep though, and the place is pretty run down. The bar is limited but cheap, and the food at the snack bar is kinda ok. The indoor mini-golf is decent, and there are a few arcade games to play.

Olivia Acevedo

Had a lot of fun

Tim Ferguson

Great bowling alley, around 20 lanes, despite being busy, there was room for our party. This is a no frills bowling alley, decent food from Marty & Jim's and a basic bar with a modest range of beers.

I Love the bowling and the miniature golf

Kathleen Lister

It's small, but it's awesome! There was only one guy working there when we went on a Thursday afternoon, and he was incredibly helpful and friendly. He gave us very good advice which improved our game, helped us choose balls, and was very attentive any time we had a question or needed anything. Then he gave us a great recommendation for dinner. Also, apparently this bowling alley is the inspiration for The Big Lebowski, which rocks.

Dylan Boomsma

Great place and the best people running it!!

Melissa raffaeli

Lanes weren't working right but they comped our shoe rental. Staff were very nice and helpful!!!

Michael Talbot

Honestly, this place has good pricing for bowling but Friday and Saturday nights they usually play country music and the atmosphere wasn’t as good as I expected it to be. Not great for the younger crowd who go with their friends

Gareth Genner

Tired but friendly family facility.

Maxwell Rysdon

This is a fairly average bowling alley, as they go. It was a little bit dirty, the loaner balls left residue on my hands and the lanes jammed more often than average. I still had fun, though!

Tyler Brown

Place is absolutely terrible. I used to come here as a kid and it was great, the place is so rundown its unbelievable. Mini golf should be free if not shutdown, no useable adult clubs, all bent and broken, all of the features of the mini golf course are run down, broken and ghetto rigged. Snack bar was closed, bowling lane broke twice in the one game we played, my 3 year old could not use the kids ball roller, as it was held together with duct tape, he was filthy from the grease all over the scraped, nicked, And all around broken balls. Bathrooms disgusting, 30 dollars to play 1 game of bowling and mini golf, cant even get a bottle of water for less than $2.50. I will absolutely positively never come here again. Would rate 0/5 if possible. Do NOT reccomend. Go to pittsfield for bowling and lanesboro for mini golf because this is just about the worst experience I've ever had at a place like this. Owner must not care. Thumbs down.

Jason Farwell

This place has really fallen off. Such a shame. The mini golf room is ok but bowling was awful.

Stephanie Chiera

Family owned and family appropriate. Best place in Great Barrington to have a great time in any weather on any occasion. Call in advance for party planning, you'll have a great time.

Great place to go bowling

Michelle T.

1 kids ramp for the whole bowling facility and that was even bent. Lanes are old and warped, ball return got stuck and was slow. We made the best of it and had a nice time.

Vincent Garofoli

Overall great family experience with reasonable pricing and a warm atmosphere.

William Jaffe

I got my rental uhaul truck here, good service

Jesse Midwood

We just had a birthday party for the kids tonight! I think the adults had as much fun as the kids. The man running the lanes was attentive and friendly! Thanks for a great time!

Tandy Walker

Staff and owners are very efficient and take care to accommodate bowling patron.

Dwayne Coonradt

Bowled a 300 in a tournament here and after calling 4 times to reach the owner about letting USBC know about it, realized it's time to pull back all the teams I bring from Albany.

Chris Stead

Super cool place!

Don Peterson

Older bowling alley, but not too bad. Somewhat expensive.

Matthew Tabolt

Went there with my daughter and granddaughter. Place was in disarray, dirty, broken everything. The snack bar was even closed. They had take out menus on the bar

Rick DeGroff

Enjoyed the tournament, atm was out of service which made it difficult for people to buy food.

Thomas Magg

Inside miniature golf hasn't changed in 20 years (last time we were there). Nice setup 18 holes on 2 levels. Something to do on a rainy day. Reasonably priced.

TABATHA SKY-MAY

Disinterested staff, kinda dirty, very dated decor and horribly loud music

Tina Buffi

It's fun bowling

Susan Wood

Great place

cisco zap

They have alot of lanes and i guess the food options are good since some people went just for the food and left. Lane 19 the ball gets stuck and takes a little while to come back up. If you get 19 ask for a different one. They have good Music. Nice place to bowl for an afternoon.

Thomas Sanford

Great family fun.

Mike Donlin

Nice people, good lanes with electronic scoring, not as cheap as some other old school bowling lanes, but not too expensive. Arcade is lame, mostly crane games. We didn't try the food or drink.

James Noble

Fun community establishment with a great staff. Was able to rent a U-Haul trailer too

Patrick hall

JR Always puts me on the good Lanes. They cater to everyone. Check the picture! I'm PJ

Zeus Sousa

Lots of children, but the mini golf is a lot of fun :)

Scott Brown

For kids and adults

Peter Tiso

Cheap, greasy, retro fun for the whole family. The bar is a fantastic dive.

Christopher Tatro

Bowling was for a fair price. Oil seemed a bit old on the lanes. The ball ramp for a child was a little run down and the bottom bracket was broke. Mini golf was cheap, but you got what you paid for. Overall, its a nice place to bowl in the area. Having Marty and Jim's right there is also great. Finally good food in a bowling alley.

Sara Love

Lanes kept breaking down, bathrooms are disgusting.

Nick Habes

Had an awesome time here. Dusty old bowling ally. But the in a great way.

Ondrej Kiraly

Very nice place

Thomas Running

This aint the city, this is the berkshires, where we come to get away from the cities. As far as bowling alleys are concerned, this place tops the retro charts. My lanes never jammed up, balls returned without having to constantly call for help, the food was greasy and bar is as retro as retro gets! Loved it. The loaner ball selection seemed a lil limited, but come on... Go bowling or go home.

Nice place for bowling
