One of my mates had caused a malfunction on our lane and the employees were ready to help us out before we even noticed. On top of that, their deals, from two dollar Tuesdays to Happy Hour Bowling and their trademark $37.50 deal for larger groups are incredibly reasonable. The Group Fry Basket is a bit small, but you get what you get, ya know? All in all, this is a great bowling alley that I would recommend to anyone.

Celebrated my granddaughters birthday with a bowling party at Bel-Air Bowl. The girls had a great time! It was fun to watch them bowl ! They provided white table clothes (we brought pink), plates, cups, napkins, and silverware. The also had a table set up for presents and the cake. The package included 2 hours of bowling, 2 pizzas, 2 pitchers of soda, shoe rental and tokens for game room. We were allowed to bring our own cake in.

Always a real treat to head over to roll a few rocks. Great prices and fun. People often come from 10 to 18 miles away to come and watch me bowl here. Im very talented. Real treat for everyone.

Came for a kids birthday party. Good spot to let kids run around like animals. Front desk employees arent that cordial, but would you be handing out used shoes? Lanes are decent, but the facility/building itself isnt great. The ceiling tiles over our lane was wet and leaking gross water on our table/food/drinks. The bathrooms also look like something from a 70s horror film - theyre legit scary. Had a decent selection of beers on the list but came to find out almost all werent in stock. The bowling alley itself is fine and does the trick if youre able to get a lane.

Was invited to come back from the new management this last week after we had a horrible experience before. Really appreciated them reaching out to fix what had been wrong.We decided to give them another try and was very pleased that we did. Great service. Anytime we had an issue it was taken care of promptly and with a smile. Well be back for sure, complete 180 from the last people who were running it. Keep up the good work!

The food was really good and a great price, service was good, the lanes worked great, but the vaping smoke kept me from giving them a 5 star. I spoke to management and he was really nice and willing to ask the people who was vaping aggressively and blowing smoke all in my family lungs to be more considerate. I really appreciate him for that but elected to leave instead because I was just disgusted and my hair was With all the facts out regarding the health dangers of vaping and second hand smoke is just as dangerous, I ask maybe they have a section exclusively for vapors away from kids. Other than that this is a five star institution if your not sitting next to an group of inconsiderate aggressive vapors.

Enjoyed the restaurant so much. Quality service and great food. Enjoyed the day with my Mom and daughter. We also managed to have our third generation photographed under the iconic chandelier that will be removed soon. So grateful for that chance, 57 years later...

I was on my schools bowling team and I plan to try out this year again. It is really fun to practice and they have coupons at El Gordito, a really good restaurant where each time you eat there, you will have you first game free. And the instructions are crystal clear. Have fun!

For a bowling alley, i believe them to be alright! But the snack bar is serving gold with the prices so high, quantity isnt bad, just it comes out cold, most of the time.They do have a variety of foods which is good. With the workers and management, couldnt be much better( on my side of the fence). The place is old, but clean.Need people that want to work apparently in some spots. All in all, its not abad place to go to just abit pricy on the food.On their side, they have quite a menu, which is pretty much; a la carte, (Which probably explain some of the higher pricing.) daily specials on food and drinks, Keepup the hard work! Bowling alleys are about like the drive-in showsA thing of the past.

Great bowling alley. This one has been a Belleville favorite for years! The place seemed nice, and had a younger crowd. Manager was really friendly. Thanks for the hospitality!

Review №32

Fun time, got the 5 people hour and a half play package. Only complaint is that when that 1.5 hour hit, lane shut down and was not able to play our 10th frame, but the system gladly said Contact desk to start a new game, why would I want to do that when you cut us all off? Understand the time limit, but logic should at least let you finish the game you started. Never getting the time limit again, hard to finish on time with the kiddos, sticking to purchasing the games only so that it doesnt cut us off again. If it wasnt for that issue, this would have been 5 stars. Thank you.

Review №36

The facilities arent the newest but the staff is very helpful. The restaurant has great food and is worth checking out but the food that the bar serves to bowlers is all standard fair greasy bar food. That isnt a bad thing, necessarily, but it is worth noting. There are bumpers, rails, and balls that only way 7 or 8 pounds for kids which is good but there are also bigger balls for adults.

Its obvious its an older bowling alley. The shoes showed very bad wear and tear and the arcade games were broken. But it was a fun experience. I also enjoyed the dancing lights and music at 10p. I liked bowling that way.

Review №47

Came here a week ago with a group of friends. The staff was friendly and all the bowlers seemed happy to be there. I used to come here as a kid so it was definitely fun for me. It costs $3.75 for shoes, and the more games you play the cheaper it is(per game).The food was okay. My friend got cold corn dogs but the employees quickly resolved the issue.OH yeah! So we paid for 3 games and decided to leave after 2. The bowling alley REFUNDED our last unplayed game! How cool is that!

Review №53

Always has a fun environment! The prices are really good for bowling. I would say I bowl here around once a week. But it can vary. They normally have a lane or two open so you can go bowling with some friends. The only problem is there kitchen is quite slow! So if you are wanting a bite to eat make sure you order it as soon as you get there! My friend made the mistake of ordering after we started bowling and we waiting quite a long time just for his food and it wasnt even busy that day.

Leagues often doesnt matter if brand new to pro, great fun, pool tables, state of the art dart machines to challenge anyone around the country. Multiple bars and The Best Affordable Pizza with unlimited toppings, grilled cheese, burgers, fries, better than average bar food, great place for families and raising funds for charities and event space available downstairs or in old restaurant for baby shower, etc... Also Gaming Station available for gambling.

KUDOS to lovely & congenial Ms. S. Starr in upper management. She would be a Fantastic (even Superlative Asset to ANY business). She is Caring, Kind, & Conscientious. // And, no kidding, the Pot Roast was Perfect..... Meanwhile, a Styrofoam cup held my libation. Thankfully there were actual metal utinsels. // A stark diner atmosphere has replaced previous decor (full of ambience in years-gone-by). Yes, the Panorama days are long gone.....but Ms. Starr, with her heartfelt & pleasant hospitality, made my visit pleasant....indeed HEALING!....during a rather difficult day. Thank you, Dear Girl, Thank you. Hugs ~ ☆

They need to update their facility. Small game room. There used to be so much more there. They also gave my boyfriend shoes with a giant hole on the side.

Review №74

Was never informed that they had birthday packages. Spent $125 for a room rental, employees kept coming in and out of the room. They attempted to tell me since I didnt have 15 people that i was unable to get the group rate. Ended up having to pay for all the children to bowl ($3/per child per game). When I reserved the room, I was told that they would be able to bowl. The staff had to squeeze us in somewhere. My daughter was upset that she didnt get a bowling pin like the other kids did for their party. We will not be back. Horrible service, lady at the front desk was rude.
