I always have a fun time at this place, the lanes are taken care of very well and the staff is always very nice.

Jen Ak

Fun and clean environment...a nice place to unwind, especially at night.

marc deutscher

Still a fun place to bowl with friends, family, schools, camps, groups, organizations, and more. The owners are very nice.

J Delgado

We didn't bowl just went to hang but it was packed. The bartender Beverly is the best.

Det. Castro

Nice and serviceable staff. Clean place. Will definitely return.

mxya

The food is good I recommend the chicken tenders and fries

Joel Valladares

Nice place for a night of bowling

Jen Brooks

I've been going to this lane since high school....and that was a while. I enrolled my niece and nephews in the summer bowl program a couple years ago. It was nice. It's not a fancy place but the service is decent. Always enough balls. The lighter balls for. Children are kept behind the desk and just have to ask. Also, you can make children lanes where the guardrails are placed. They do have league nights...so some nights it can be really full. There are lockers that can be rented and a small arcade play area at the entrance. Outside food is not allowed and the food inside is expensive. Fries can cost like $5...they do birthday parties. Also sometimes there are coupons on groupons.

Cecile Roper

Fun lots today yes food parking an wheelchair ♿

Mackenzie Cashman

The place is good, but when I went with my camp, there were 2 other camps there at the same time, and it got really crowded. On top of that, there are waaaaaaaaayyyyyy too many junk food options here. There was a kid from my camp who left there shaking from a sugar high.

cesar prado

The African American dude who attended us was rude and i also dont recommend going there on a weekend before a monday holiday bcuz they don't have specials on those days.

dhff Asd

Good standard bowling alley. Street parking can be tough. Has arcade games too.

Jeremiah VazquezB

Purchased a Groupon and took my son here for the first time. He had lots of fun. Saw a flyer for free bowling clinic and signed my son up. Bowling lane is clean and cafe has good food. Bowling price is reasonable. Been back a few times with friends.

Licy Gabriel

Yesterday 9/10/16 was my very first time at Jibs & boy did I have a grand tie #. Attendant Myra was very helpful & patient with me. She assisted me with correct shoe size & bowling ball size as well as how to read & comprehend the score board. I had a wonderful experience & will go back as often as I can. Great staff.

Jesus Montes

Very family oriented

Poor place to bowl

Colby Craig

Lanes aren't that good, it is over priced, as well as a few rude service staff (not all), but the food is good . Overall I would not recommend this place to others.

R Thompson

Had such a great time with co-workers. Drinks are on point!

Tarae Williams

This place is cheap to bowl and is right under my doctor. So I get a check up and go bowling after such a convenience

Saladin 7x

Very nice family bowling alley but there's no phone reception because it's in the basement

Aging bowling alley, lanes were constantly jamming, no way to reset at the lane. Food was ok but pricey.

I AM VAMPYRE

Good atmosphere . Very Clean & No lane issues, Great service ! staff is very friendly , helpful & welcoming . Their pricing is also reasonable . Great fun for kids parties and company parties or just a night out . Always good music playing & drinks (they have a full bar). would suggest the chicken wings & waffle fries! .But theres also many other great menu options to choose from . Great arcade games & good snack selections in the vending machines too. Ive been coming here for years & its never a letdown! . Did i forget to mention that there's free parking ?! Would definitely reccomend this place to anyone looking to have some big fun ! & Ill definitely be coming back soon .

Mazal Katanova

Great place to show off your bowling skills. If there is a waiting period, then there are several games customers could play and there is a photo booth to commemorate the visit to the bowling alley. The prices are not too bad, either.

Yanique Malcolm

Very fun and a very welcoming environment. The prices are good and I love the unlimited bowling special. V

Jason Diggs

Clean and always safe and fun..

shafi rasheed

Nice and easy fun, shoes are a bit odd but you get used to it.

Nay PrettyTho

The staff was rude. They all seemed as if they had attitudes.

Nick Goodelman

very easy experince, fast and easy, had a good time

Esther Robinson

It is just to cold in that place

Davenan Hiralal

Great, low key bowling spot. Good food and drinks. Had a fun time with the family?

jessica caballero

I love jib lanes.. friendly staff.. and the food is pretty good considering it's a bowling alley.. I live right next to Whitestone lanes and I still travel the extra couple of minutes to Jib Lanes because of its' welcoming environment

Marilyn Upson

Friendly staff, all around good time.

Dawn

Fun place for family fun.

Jay Lewis

Great service. Clean shoes. Clean lanes. Food was tasty. Drinks are ok.

Shamboozler

JIB Lanes is a great experience for first time bowlers who can practice their skills and learn new techniques. Sometimes, when the owner is there he will be glad to help you and give you some expert tips on how to bowl properly and what size bowling ball is right for you.

Imane Oallout

It is ok when u think of the quality. But they could fix up the food it takes forever for it to cook and even longer for u to get it

FRANK CORBO

Everyone who works at the lanes are really terrific people, and are always ready to solve issues immediately. Thanks everyone who works at Jib Lanes you guys are the greatest!!! Happy New Year!!!!

carl pulley

Bowling Alley and it's lanes are far superior to most alleys I've frequented, however I suggest you eat prior to visiting

Mr K

A nice place to bowl. Fun for everyone and food for snacking. Warm, wonderful staff will make you feel welcome.

Jo Myers

Very nice friendly/clean place for friends & family gatherings.

Peter Oissar

We had a great time using the blacklight bowling. They have a great staff and the place is kept very clean. Parking can be a bit of an issue due to the fact it's surrounded by apartment buildings. They have great prices!

Ian Lim

Recreational or competitive or want-to-learn bowling, this is the place to go. Well maintained and staff are great. They have instructional bowling for kids which is why I go there for my children and they love it and coach Arthur is amazing and very professional. Also they serve food from pretzels, burger, amazing fries, hotdogs and drinks too.

SharpWanker Elite

Good atmosphere and most importantly no Lane issues

avraham shimanov

A lady was yelling at me for bowling I sont know what was wrong with her

Yingying Yang

Jib Lanes was great. The food was pretty good and the bowling was really fun. You could get separated into teams and see who wins in the end. Although it was fun, the staff was not that great. A friend got the bowling ball stuck in the gutter and bumper... I don't know how, so we told the staff to come get the ball and 20 minutes later, still no one came. My teacher had to get the ball himself and got in trouble by the staff who finally noticed us. But after that, we had fun again. The food was quite expensive and the games near the bowling alleys were really expensive as well.

JUAN CASTILLO

Very good

Michael Lataille

Clean, modern lanes with a delicious snack bar. We participate in a Saturday league that is well organized and bowl with friendly and polite families.

Beverley Lyn

Clean place had alot of fun with family. New bowling shoes. We bought pizza it was okay. The nacho and cheese tasted stale and the cheese tasted like imitation cheese sauce.

George Leung

Older bowling place but does the job. Good specials. Has a snack bar and pro shop.

Virginia Portalatin

Great place for the kids and family.

Stanley Wong

My favorite bowling alley. Floor is always well waxed. Food is expensive but go for pretzel dog if you are hungry.

Default dan the magical man Yeah man

I give this meme a 10/10

Rika Odigie

Nice Staff, great location, parking limited in area, and smoke lingers inside since everyone smokes right outside the doors. Other than that bowling is fun.

Lynn Gooden

Great place. Clean and inviting. Long lines for food with the students during the day.

Madinah Lewis

Not bad but I would rather go to one of the bowling alleys that I went to in long island.

Justin Ha

very pleasant experience here. will definitely be giving them more of my business.

Michelle Roldan

Good hole some family fun bowling place, also a great night out with your adult friends since you can also attend the bar with a really good spot for some comfort food .

Romel Gangaram

I love Jib lanes. They have very good balls,and food. My family and I had a lot of fun. We enjoyed playing at this bowling alley. I think you should go to this bowling alley.

Andrew Cort

This place is a terrific bowling alley except for the fact that the lanes don't work all time and you have to keep going to front desk to have them reset it for you. You don't get reception in certain areas but there is WiFi available. I don't really bother with the food. I'm not saying it's bad, just not for me. Overall it's a good place to bowl. I would get a lane near the front desk where it's quicker to receive assistance if something is not working properly.

David

Great bowling alley. I like that their shoes are velcro, and not antique with laces. Parking is a bit tricky since they don't have a parking lot. You need to find street parking. You can't bring outside food but they can order kosher pizza from local pizzerias (Shimon's & Benjy's) for you, $18/pie.

Maxwell Wu

I'm not a very good bowler, but I do enjoy a game here and there. JIB Lanes gives you access to a nice, clean environment to bowl competitively or even just casually. The prices are great and I would recommend it to anyone.

Azadeh Vega

It was really good me and my whole family had a blast

Grace Anker

Friendly, efficient and fun!

Angela He

Fun place to visit. The 2 hour fun is worth the money!

Evan Cheng

Absolutely terrible service and staff interactions. When asked to raise the bumpers, I was told that they only do it for small children in a very condescending manner. Furthermore, they force you to wear bowling shoes, and if you know anything about public footwear, it's not comfortable at all. Overall, my experience gave an impression that they are bowling purists which is very discouraging to people who don't know how to properly play.

Nightlore

Pretty good, okay snacks, cute arcade selection. Only problem is the lighter balls only come in smaller sizes, so big hands beware. Also one employee tried to tell us we could only have the bumpers if we were under 12 years old, but it was fixed when we asked a different employee. Okay for the prices they charge.

Simon Simondor

Excelent place to have fun

John Kruger

Quality bowling alley. Very accommodating to families and kids. Clean facility with snack bar and bar.

Lamont Doug

I Was There At This Place JIBS Lanes Bad Experience There Were Bedbugs In Eating Area And Also I Ordered Food The Food Had Green Molded Not My Place Go There Again.

Georgianna Meditz

One of the few alleys left to enjoy league bowling or open bowling. Children's parties available. Sports bar, casual food,

Tara Moseder

Nice modern alley to bowl at. Staff was great with our group. This place always makes our special needs individuals feel welcome and happy.

Carlito Nati

We have been going here for years. It's a simple bowling center nothing too fancy. Service is okay. Prices are reasonable.

nikki

really fun, reasonable price friendly staff

Christina Rodriguez

Staff was very mean and nasty to our teachers and kids for a school trip. I guess they hate their job, but that’s not anyone else’s problem or fault. The place is old and small. Go to Bowlero instead.

Stella G

Always a fun place especially with their week day special after 8pm!

Albina

Grew up playing here so enjoyed coming back here.

Maria Mootoo

Friendly staff. surprisingly tasty food, wings and waffle fries were great.

Kaile Wilson

Very friendly and family feel

andre aliance

Christine Gaines

My family, and I, love Jib Lanes. Our go to for bowling fun. Great group/party rates. Friendly staff and they periodically have groupons! Try the funnel cake fries!

Dan Dan

Nice place. Staff was being rude in the beginning but we enjoyed the atmosphere and had a good time

notsiyeonkim

A nice place to go bowling because you don't have to wear bowling shoes you can just wear sneakers. This is my favorite place to go bowling.

Ekpen Imagwe

Nice place . Friendly staff. I and my kids had a nice time

Srinath Ramjeet

Great bowling ally! Lots of lanes, different sized bowling balls, and friendly staff!! Very fun atmosphere!

Giovanna Edwards

Nice place we had a great time.

Sanchez A

This is a gem of s place in queens. It has over 40 lanes, it's a clean and family friendly location. I wish it had parking but otherwise I give it two thumbs up.

Umair Ishaq Khan

Well lit ally with very clean balls, and new shoes. The system worked without glitches too.

MrADjam5

Great bowling alley with great workers.

Rodney Holloway

Solid bowling alley, great for kids. Been going there for years.

Ramirez H

$4.50 for a game, per person. Lanes 30 to 40 have some serious issues racking.

leo yush

It's great we got pizza with drinks, the bowling was great but our bowls at the end kept getting stuck.other then that highly recommended.

jashan singh

Its a great place to bowl, prices for bowling are good and the so is the good.

Covexe

Good place

J Santiago

Clean good fun in a modern and computerized friendly atmosphere

Tracy Yang

Jib Lanes is a classic bowling alley with nothing very special. Sure, it had some arcade games, but to play them? It was pricey. The food was nice but the drinks were expensive. $8 for a pitcher? The bowling itself was fun but there were some complications with the bumpers and my peer (who shall not be named) had those complications. It was an okay bowling place and the prices to play are moderate.

Burhanuddin H.nomani

If you are coming from high school, they will give you free shoes and per game will be $4.50

Wendy Donaghy

Purchased a Groupon and took my son here for the first time. He had lots of fun. Saw a flyer for free bowling clinic and signed my son up. Bowling lane is clean and cafe has good food. Bowling price is reasonable. Been back a few times with friends.

Julia O

During the summer, Jib Lanes participates in a 'kids bowl free' program. You have to register online beforehand and pay a one time registration fee of $5 per kid, but it was well worth it. There is no parking structure, but we were able to find street parking very close to the entrance and there was also a lot just across the closest intersection. They provided bumpers and ramps for young children. There were several arcade/ riding games. The concessions area was large, but not well attended when we were there. When we went to the front desk to ask if it was open, they promptly sent someone over to sell us drinks and snacks.

James Z

Great places to bowl at very reasonable prices. Took a star off for difficulty finding parking and the area is not the safest to be in at night.

Kawang Wong

I used to come to Jib Lanes, a LOT! It's a really nice place to go with your friends, do a little bowling, have some food, and kill time. The service is good. If you have issues with machines, shoes or balls, they generally treat it quickly. The bowling alley has various weighted balls, and a lot of them are in good condition to great condition, so you know you won't be stuck using balls with plenty of scuffs and dents. The food here is a bit pricey, but still relatively cheap. If you come to play unlimited games, I would recommend ordering some food, otherwise you're better off just going elsewhere. Funnel cakes here though, definitely worth it. As for pricing, It's quite cheap, on regular nights you can pay about $15 per person for unlimited, this includes shoes. If you and your friends have nothing to do on a week night, swing by, bowl a little, have some fun and be ready to feel pain in your hand the next day. Bowling is fun, until you overdo it. I believe there's also a league you can join, but that isn't my thing so I can't disclose much about that.

Safowan A. Tamim

Endless fun

Denee Brown

The staff was friendly and the place was cleaned. They were also attentive

Sonyia Simpson-Barlow

It's always a good time.

Michael Gardner

Yes eye do love this place OK come hear every day

Jay Hernandez

Cool place for the family or just adults...they have very reasonable prices on the games and food/drinks and the atmosphere is relaxed. It's not a disco bowling alley like most have turned into but still a great way to spend a afternoon or evening.

Mykie Rhian

Great place

Hagit Algazi

Very unfriendly staff. We were there on a Sunday with our young kids. The place was almost empty and still the guy working the desk did not give us the time of day. The place was freezing he said he would lower the fans but didn't. We got two lanes for six kids. They forced us to split the group evenly. We wanted a lane for four and another for 2 and he refused claiming he couldn' .

Melissa Olivieri

Great neighborhood bowling alley. Friendly and helpful staff.

Arya Krishna

THERE WAS FALSE ADVERTISEMENT JUST BE CAREFUL OF HOLIDAY SPECIALS I called multiple times and spoke to a woman & Man (supposedly Manager), who confirmed Dec 26,2017 to Dec 29,2017 The Half Off applies to the $65 Bowling Lane Offer. And that I should reserve online and pay $25 (which will be deducted from Total when we come in to Bowl) So $65 was supposed to be $32.50 I arrive at Jib Lanes and now I'm told the special is $80 (Online it says $65 And When I called multiple times I was told $65) Pay $40 When I asked the woman at the desk, she decides to suck her teeth, her lack of interest to even consider to listen to what I'm trying to say THAT WAS RUDE. But then I figured, she is just an employee, Upper Management knows what's going on. It is just a matter of 8dollars but if its that SMALL why lie for this amount online and over the phone Why misguided customers with incorrect information To top it, I purchased the $29.99 Combo Platter (chicken fingers, wings, fries, pitcher of soda), seemed like they wanted to stick me with the Pizza Combo (pizza and pitcher of soda) SAFER TO GET GROUPON PACK - $40 for 4 people, 2 games each, with shoes

GiGi Bee

Staff service was excellent. Lanes were good for a family night out. We will do it again. The kitchen was difficult even though we pre-ordered.

patrick uwechue

The general are is very nice. The amenities such as the vending machines hardly work and rather just take you money. There are also some technical issues with the bowling rows. Other than that, it was not bad at all.

Bryant Grayson

Clean no problems

RRR

Nice old school establishment. Has a full bar, cafe (the food is a little pricey for what it is), Pro Shop and semi-friendly staff. It's an affordable way to spend some time. Never an issue getting a lane.

jhasodra persaud

Took my parents and husband and 3 kids had a blast. Staff very helpful. Food was good too

Devonna Commack

Really nice place to bring family and friends of all ages. The pizza is good, not my favorite but good. Bathrooms were clean and so were tables. I would definitely come here again.

Jorge Picado

Good time as always!

Hila Stern

Fun place. Cheap :)

Michael Persaud

Bowling alley was great. Not fond about security check.

Emily Co

A lot of older people stay here for hours. Very limited lanes. Had to wait over half an hour to bowl on a Monday night. Strong smell of cigarettes in the entrance where we had to wait. Bathrooms were clean but overall the place looks outdated. Staff is alright. Had the children bowl free pass but I really wish I chose another bowling place. I will only come back because of the pass, if not I would not bother coming to this place again.

DIANA YOUNG

Had lots of fun during family night!

Amanda Forsythe

Love this bowling alley. It's clean, the food was good and the staff is great!

Peter Skow

Looking for something to do, then this is right up your alley. Bowling is a great game and fun to play. Stop by ,get some shoes ,pick a ball then knock down some pins

Nelson Zevallos

Awesome sauce! Great place to spent with family and friends

Hwa Young Kim

Having fun with family, friends, church members... Star one... The facilitaties are old.... Too old... Compared it, the cost is not cheap.... :( If you have bowling shoes must bring it!! A few shoes do not slippery which are supposed to do. They have only even numbered bowling ball... I use 9pound of ball but they do not have odd numbers... So I use 10 or 8 depends on the mood.. lol I deducted 3 stars because of old facilitaties, not reasonable price, and narrow selection of bowls.. Oh. The Parking!!!! You can park the shopping mall across the street. Need stamp on the Parking ticket from jiblane. Plus star!

David L

Good lanes, food is decent but service is a bit slow.

Natalie Leow

This place is fun but balls are so heavy lol

akiva bachrach

very nice bowling alley, typical experience in a place like this

Paulina Armstrong

We had a good time bowling here at JIB Lanes. It was my first visit here but I enjoyed my time here with my family.

Joseph Browne

I love this place when kids get to play.

Christopher D Greif

Good place

Muhammad Darr

The alley was suppose to close at 2 and I came at 11:25 and he told me I could not finish a game he told me to leave 11:45 and he told that they were closing at 12 I came all the way from New Jersey and I was denied service In the end this bowling alley is full of lazy workers who do not want to do their job.

Byjinder

Order food before or after 1st time bowling. Gets bust quickly and food takes time. Good location, friendly staff. Had a great time.

Erigove Thomas

i like how it's brightly lit. also they have a public rest room witch i feel is important. they have a large selection of bowling balls to accommodate different arm strengths.

Matthew Martin

Great place bartenders need help but still good place to bowl

6 Train Productions

Nice bowling place!

Thomas Moreira

Overall good day.

Lauren Guarano

Went here with my family 4 times and it was an amazing experience each time!

zodoma lpga

This is a very nice place for family's, friends. prices for groups are reasonable, to spend a couples of hours to distress your self,have fun with your partner, friends and family. Parking is kind of difficult but not too hard to find just don't get there without rush, I'll recomend specially on weekends and thursday, friday,night to call and find out if there is space to play available.

Robert Hunter

Always enjoy the staff and atmosphere there .. . Great late night specials too ...

Tony Deleon

Nice place but parking is a nightmare.

Qazi waliyullah

It's nice and affordable

Alexandria Woolfe

I think this is the greatest place to bowl. I've had so much fun bowling. The bathrooms are a little bit on the well-kept side, but the food is good. Buying it, the service is a bit slow, but it's worth it... I've suggested it as class trips and I go every year. Highly recommended.

Alex 881

It was fun, the lanes are nice and big and have a lot of space for you and friends.

S S

Very good spot to chill with the family. The food is good and the bar is great. Drinks are well made and the lanes are kid friendly. The bumpers only go up on the kids names and goes back down for the adult.
