verona sullivan

The place needs to be fixed up my husband and I and the kids we have fun but I believe that the place can be a very much nicer energetic you know Place know they need to fix it up so when you're there you don't want to leave

Brianna Peace

Great price. $30 for an hour of bowling, can play at least 2 games. Place only takes cash so be prepared to bring some!

Old school bowling alley...fun an affordable.

Diego Moore

This is an old fashion bowling house that has not lost its old school look or charm.but ghetto its not. i remember bowling here years ago with the gang,so many good memories, lanes have the old look, of bowling lanes of the past, and keeping score is done by pencil on paper, like old times, good prices on games and shoes, just check for available lanes, cause leagues are almost everything day.staff are good guys, the place is outdated in its decor,but thats what gives the place its charm .not to many of these type of bowling houses around any more, so its nice when you can find one. p.s its a good place to bring the kids.

OmG!!!! I love this retro Bowling alley. I will be back. The place is clean and affordable. The only thing is......you have to score. There isn't automated scoring on a TV. Right at your lane with a sharpened pencil, you keep score.

I brought my family here on a sunday for some bowling and i tell you that if you want an old school bowling experience this is where you come. Its also very inexpensive. The beer was cheap so you can pound them down as you bowl. Its great.

Grew up bowling here and the place has barely changed. You still have to know how to keep paper scoring. I absolutely love it. And prices are super affordable. It was also featured in a Men in Black movie

Ayesha Boyd

I treated my sister and her kids with mine and we had a ball..lol..literally it was fun.

This bowling alley is open to the public with the exception of school groups.

Richard Weiss

Classic. Gets a bit busy during peak hours.

Kathleen Ciron

Love this bowling alley. Gave it 5 stars because I use to bowl there, it was one of my hangouts. Nice people. The money leagues need better organization and appointed officals who stick to the rules. Still a great place for open bowling for the family. A little expensive, but what isn't these days. Parking can be a hassle, there is only street parking.

Anthony Taylor

Old fashion bowling house but good can clean

Lisa Green

Papa Duke Lugo

Bad

J Prez

This Bowling place is soooo outdated, but at the same time has that nostalgia feel because its old looking and outdated. Went there with the wife and kid, staff looked out of it, food was bad at the snack bar, and your ball is liable to get stuck inside the ball return shoot several times, you'd have to go get an attendant to help fix this or continuosly hit the reset button til your ball returns so that you may continue with your games. Quite annoiying. The Upside is prices are pretty cheap, but don't expect a quality experience here.

Bessie Woodward-Slater

This is an old school bowling lane. You have to know how to keep score on your own. No bells and whistles here. Nice family place that you will enjoy on a Saturday.

Jonathan Segarra

was very good , enjoyed myself planning to continue going here for all my bowling needs!

Duane Joseph

Showed up at 3p in the afternoon on a Sunday and found a "Will Return At 6p" sign up. If you don't want to be open on Sundays, then change your hours!

Sheyla

Very affordable old school place. I really enjoy myself with every visit.

Cameron Potts

It's like going to a Museum where you get to touch history. Everything like this is all a memory and pictures bit this is still here. Godlike. You have to go there. Godlike. It's part of how we got here today. It's ruff bowling there as in challenging but I appreciate the advances in tha game today. Looking back at what it use to be :D

ana melendez

It's quiet all rite. They need to play sum

Kim Mercado

I've been bowling here for over 50 years and just the atmosphere of the old time bowling alley makes it home....The manager Jimmy has been there from counter boy to ownership and his sons are there too...So many memories gone by and so many more to make!

Jason Dilan

Old school bowling alley with great weekend hourly prices.

illiana rosario-urban

I loved this hidden gem in the Morris park section of the Bronx. It was like stepping into a time machine , nothing was electronic or technology based . You had to keep score the old fashioned way , on a chart . The staff was so sweet and funny. No alcohol but a great place to take the kids for some fun for cheap.

Luis Padilla

Food not that great. Don't spend ur money on it. Bowling lanes ok for price

Cindy Doll

Just today, 03/22/2015, I came to this location and when I walked in, it was very packed with people competing. I wish I could have stayed, it looks like a good location to bowl with family and feels very comfortable. Although, when I walked in it reeked of food and cigarettes, something I personally don't like. It does look outdated with the kind of decorations that it has. But since I was there for like 5 seconds, I got a quick look around and the atmosphere is good.

Dawn Renta

Went here on Sunday afternoon with my son and his friends. We had a great time! The owner was so friendly. Place has a retro feel. You even keep your own score! Highly recommend! It's small so call ahead and bring cash and a calculator! Seriously, lots of fun!!

Death is a mere miracle

I went her with my little sister for a class trip about a year ago and the allys didn't even work correctly, and my sister's teacher got yelled at.

Fernando Santiago

Big Good Times with my Granddaughter at Van Nest Lanes

Not sure

nelson cortijo

Took me back 30 years it was a lot of fun how to do my own math.

Herbie Hind

We always have a blast bowling here! Lanes are usually freed up and you cant be the rates. The food is pretty good and the staff one a bit relaxed then most places.

Victor Berrios

This place is a true diamond in the rough. It's an older bowling alley which will throw you back to a simpler time. Put down your cell and bowl. One of the most INEXPENSIVE things to do in NYC. As long as you aren't going on league night there will always be balls available and lanes open. They also have a full service bowling gear shop! CUSTOM BALLS PEOPLE!

Rodrigo A

Old school bowling parlor. Super nice

Herbie Rod

Great Prices Very Good Food and Fantastic Customer Service

Andy Nguyen
