Be prepared for a possible 2 hour wait on weekends!
So this place is also called Back Alley Bowling so it can be confusing but it’s the same place.
Overall this place was fun and my friends and I had a blast! There was a live MC for some reason that orchestrated little games and contests! They even gave away a free trip to Vegas as one of the prizes, the music was good and place was clean. The 2 hour wait without really any warning or way to know that that would be a possibility and the fact that they only give you 10 minutes after you receive the text that tells you your lane is open is the only reason why I didn’t give this place 5 stars.
Also, just so you know, the parking is set up really weird because it seems like they share a parking lot and get to use it on the weekends so even though the sign clearly says jewel city bowling parking it still didn’t feel clear that we should park there because almost all the spots said reserved and there is a gate that opens at the other end.
We had an amazing time at Jewel City Bowl. It's not as flashy as these newer alleys; but what it lacked in flash, it made up in hospitality, great food, great bar (and after 9) karaoke. Fuma was wonderful. Vance and Skylar were great! We had a super fun father's day outing there. Also, the dads bowled for free
Traditional bowling lanes without all the glitz and glam of chain bowling alleys. Waxed floors and good shoes to rent. 9/10 would go again (just not on league night where a handful of lanes were open to the public) 👍
went there for Live Band Karaoke a few weeks now. Haven't bowled yet but seems like a nice place to hang out it. 😎👍
Great little bowling alley. Prices were average for the area. Bowling alley was clean and had the 80s nostalgic feeling.
Parking was a little strange, apparently it shares a lot with the neighboring police court.
Such a fun place to come with friends and family. Eat good food, bowl on good lanes, shot some pool, play some video games, have a drink. We got a Groupon and had a blast!
