Bay View Bowl — Local services in Milwaukee

Just ok. I wasn't a fan of the music. And for anyone confused like me, their system for bowling is to hold your card at the desk while you bowl and then collect payment on the way out the door. They took my card and gave me shoes, then returned my card. I thought it was covered. They didn't even take our shoes when they gave us the rental pairs. So apparently I misunderstood what happened and staff could have handled it more gracefully by saying (with a smile), "Here's your card back but don't forget to stop back at this desk to pay before you leave."

Additionally, I felt the sign was unclear that the price "per game" means "price per player per game," so my bill was a little more than I expected. But overall, for two players with shoes, the total came to $13.00. One more note was that I asked for lots of cherries in my soda and they...

We called ahead of time around 10 o’clock to make sure that people that were adults under 21 can come in to go bowling, and then we ubered there (which costed $40) with our group only to get told people are not aloud to come in who are under the age of 21 and we had to spend $50 to uber back. JUST TO GO BOWLING!!!! We were not planning to get drinks, just a group of friends who wanted to get together and go bowling. Would NEVER EVER come here again. We spent $90 to not even get in.

The “bouncer” (for a bowling alley) was nice about it but was ‘shocked’ that told me we were told that anyone could get him to go bowling. I am so disappointed in this bowling alley. Since 2015, I have never seen a “bouncer “at the bowling alley. I am so so frustrated with...

Original wood lanes pose a unique challenge every time you throw, which makes it great for practice and challenging friends as well as yourself. New owners already made noticeable improvements and looking forward to the great things coming soon! Staff is unparalleled! They bounce around between roles to keep everything moving as smoothly as possible given the currently available resources. They are truly the heart of this legendary house 🎳💪. 4 stars because the back of the house needs attention (balls coming back with gouges, damaged, black marks, and "lane boogers", some pins are noticeably delaminated, ceiling tile dust occasionally found on approach/gutters/lanes, random leaks causing lane damage/warpage). I have faith new owners will fix as business picks up. When it's fixed I'll definitely...
