Riverside Lanes — Local services in Mount Vernon

Bar is great!

Updated in 2018: Hah, just noticed I posted this old review on an adult night out. I should add some more comprehensive information.

While the alley is relatively old and run down in aggregate, the lanes themselves always seem to be in great condition. They probably are in need of a refresh on many of their house balls - im sure many of these are the same balls I played with as a kid 25 years ago.

Nonetheless, the kids always have a blast when we go, even if we just sit and watch them bowl a few games. Its not too expensive, gets us out of the house, and its right here in town. "Black Light" bowling is a bonus fun as well, if you are in for a later evening. Be prepared for loud music, during that however.

The above comment about their bar being great stands true - their food is nothing special. Standard entertainment venue fare for the most part. Drinks and bowling are...

When I asked for the biggest shoes in the alley, they handed me a pair of Men's 16s. My feet aren't that big but I still appreciated the service. As for the quality of the lanes and such, I don't know if there's a better bowling alley anywhere in America. Every one in the country must be connected by some kind of warp disturbance or portal because they're all like 20-30 years old but still functional. There were plenty of bowling balls with finger holes of all sizes so whether you have meaty sausage fingers or dainty ones to put in fancy lace gloves at church you'll find one that works. If you want an opinion about the food and drinks on offer ask someone else because I didn't try anything. TL;DR: I went and hit pins with a rolling ball and didn't hate it. You will probably experience...

Bowling, the underrated past time! We held our son's 17th birthday here and everything turned out great. First of all, the staff was very accommodating. He allowed us to choose between the two cheapest options for our group size. That alone would bring back to the business. We chose the Birthday package. Normally you are supposed to request that package at least a week in advance. He was flexible enough to allow us to choose it. The birthday bowling pin that we were able to sign for my son was the icing on the cake! He'll be able to remember the good times when he looks at it on the wall.

The staff turned up the music for us. The staff was great at getting our pizza and soda out to us in a timely manner. They even took our group photo for us! Good times all the way around! Highly...
