Reviews of Highland Bowl (Bowling Alley)

Amanda Jackie

First off, stafff utterly rude and disrespectful, DID NOT GIVE MY CHANGE BACK. Games were not functioning asked for a refund and refused to give my refund. If you are thinking about coming don’t because you’ll be highly dissapointed.

Great Duck Pin Bowling

Morton Fox

I was here with a group of friends back in December. I'm not good at bowling myself but it's a lot of fun and I think duckpin bowling balls are easier to handle than the other bowling balls. Pizza and drinks were included in the bowling fees but the pizza is about the same quality as Ellio's microwave pizza, so don't expect too much there.

John Terry

Very accommodating, prices are good, we have a great time.

mike ballas

fun with the kids and small groups. The scoring system is really old. So if you do not know how to score just enjoy the bowling.

Jack Sedita

Not many Duck Pin Alleys as there used to be. Staff is friendly and keep the place clean. Food is pretty good for something to snack on

I came here with my friends who live in Cheshire. I am from Long Island. The old woman who checked us in and gave us the rental shoes was very nice and friendly. We got to our lane and didn't know how to reset the pins at first. When one of my friends approached an older man with a Highland Bowl shirt on and asked him if he worked there the guy responded sarcastically with "No I am just sitting here." Then we were near the end of our second game and the pinsetter had a problem. It wasn't resetting the pins and the bowling balls were not coming back. I approached the man to tell him and he barely acknowledged me, he took his time and casually strolled to the back. After he comes back up front he turns on the lane next to us and says to finish our game there as it'll take 3 hours to repair the lane we were on. A belt had broken in the back and it is a lengthy repair. No problem. We didn't mind that but when we were talking to him after he told us to finish on the lane next door, my girlfriend pointed out that I'm an avid bowler and knew some things about ten pin bowling pinsetters. He snarkly replies with "I've been doing this for 70 years, I think I have a clue on how these machines work." I don't even mind the pinsetter malfunction, they are machines and breakdowns do happen. How we were spoken to and treated is what I am upset about. I felt like an inconvenience to this man. The center is nice, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and old school feel. However, the customer service or lack thereof left a bit to be desired. We will probably go somewhere else next time we decide to go duckpin bowling despite the close proximity to where my friends live.

Fun family times can be had here for a reasonable price!

C Reddington

Brought my daughter and she had a blast. I will go here again.

Jessica Baez

I went to inquire about their birthday parties and the lady said the birthday flyers were on the counter and that I had to book it online and then walked away. She was not friendly or pleasant in any way! She barely even made eye contact. It was so rude of her and very unprofessional and I will never go back there again!!!

Randy Smith

Nice place to bowl. Only down side not a lot of parking

George Legeza

Came here as part of an adult birthday party and had a really great time. Everything was clean and well kept, the food was good, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Great drinks and pretty decent beer selection too. Will definitely be back.

michelle cruz

#bestdateever Good price good fun, great drinks! The place is open nearly all the time and very personable, they make you feel comfortable and will teach you some tricks as most of them are professional duck pin bowlers!

Oliver Morris

The night before my wife and I were married, we rented 10 lanes at Highland Bowl and invited all our younger friends to come bowl with us, in lieu of a bachelor/bachelorette party. We had a blast. Todd was extremely helpful and flexible in arranging the details of the event and even called me the day before to make sure there weren't any last-minute changes and to check on his inventory of snacks and booze based on our predicted drink needs. He suggested the glow-in-the-dark bowling and music choices and really seemed to want us to have a great time. And we did. So much so that, although we had arranged for an 8:00 to 10:00 session, no one wanted to leave at 10:00. Todd was willing to keep things going for us (for a very reasonable additional charge) until everyone was done with their pitchers and games. All in all, a very enjoyable experience, and all our friends told us what a great time they had there. Everyone should check Highland Bowl out.

Looks lit

Paul Fredericks

Bad service

Patrick Kiernan

The staff are professional, friendly, and passionate about keeping one of the few duckpin bowling spots around alive and thriving. The pizza they hand toss is good too! Highly recommend a visit.

Kim DeBlieck

So much fun

Kelly Best

Antiquated. The machinery is confusing. You have to operate everything manually.

Tamera Wolak

Fun family environment

Michelle Bierce

I am only giving 1 star because I could not put 0 stars

Arlene Ray

Fun for the young and younger. Fabulous wings and pizza...

Alexander Gklaros

Sort of old school... BUT I'LL TAKE IT!! This place is packed with 80's funk.

Melissa Grenier

I love this going here with the kids and the food is great...especially the fries!!

Ds Freaks9900

Great atmosphere, reasonable prices, good food, and fantastic staff. No wonder I see myself returning to this place so often!

Sandra Rodriguez

Lots of fun

Sara Sepko

Went in with a big party tonight and everything was awesome! Pizza was delicious, service was great and we all had a great time. Had people in my party from 3 years old to 66 and everyone loved it! Will definitely be back! Thank you Todd!

Ginna Plude

Just plain fun!

Paul Charette

I bowl here regularly. There are fewer Duckpin centers with every passing year and the owner of Highland is enthusiastically committed to maintaining the best center in Connecticut. Lanes are in good condition, pinsetters are kept working as well as possible for historic technology. The food is also a step above with all items cooked fresh to order. Most leagues are looking for more bowlers on week nights or stop in weekends for open bowling or kids parties.

Jameson Forsythe

The place is fine, very dated. Duck pin bowling is fun, especially for little kids. The prices are reasonable for an hour of entertainment.

Code Nickel

I enjoyed my time here, although a little outdated in a few areas.

Gene

Place is pretty old and run-down and the pizza was terrible

David Kegel

Best birthday party ever. Excellent! Kids had a ball. Staff was very nice and trim care of everything.

John-Del

Nice clean place to bowl duckpin. Staff is friendly and helpful and the prices are reasonable.

Sean Little

Family fun at a good price. They also have food which is yummy.

Christine Sedita

This is a fantastic place to bring children. This is Duckpin Bowling which is a small bowling ball, similar to a Skee-Ball. It has a small arcade that the children can learn tickets to get prizes. In addition it has a great selection of food. Their prices are very reasonable.

Radu Hu

Where are all the ducks?

Bryson Hyte

Great place for duck pin bowling! A bit dated but what bowling alley isn't these days. They have digital score keeping as well as a full arcade and hot food bar.

Ted Theodoropoulos

Great place to go bowling as a family

Vincent Messina

Good food, good duckpin, what else could you ask for?

Bill B

One of the few places left that has "small ball" bowling! Has a quintessential 80s feel to it.
