I have grown up in Iowa City and since I was born, I remember Colonial Bowling Lanes being around…read more I've been to Colonial Bowling Lanes a handful of times in my life and have never had a bad time. Whether bowling or miniature golfing or just meeting friends for a drink and playing on the arcade machines, Colonial Bowling Lanes offers a variety of activities for all ages. They also have a small kitchen inside for guests to order food. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend everyone to check out bowling or miniature golfing at Colonial Bowling Lanes! Good times!!

This has been and always will be the best place to bowl in Cedar Rapids! It had been a few years…read moresince I had gone bowling and a group of friends and I decided it was time! I believe they are still the cheapest to bowl in the area and not only that but drinks and food are pretty cheap too!! This is such a great place to bring friends and family!

This bowling alley in Cedar Rapids is very fun to go to. They have light-up bowling after 9pm with…read moremusic which is very awesome. My 13yr old daughter loves this bowling alley also. About every other time I go bowling at this bowling alley, my bowling lane tv screen (which counts points) messes up, but the people working always get it fixed fairly quickly. Good variety of ball sizes to choose from to bowl with. Food selection is good as well. There is a large selection of traditional bowling alley fried foods (fried cheese curds, fried pickles, fried mozzarella cheese sticks, etc...). This bowling alley is adjacent to the sand volleyball courts, which are fun to watch or participate in as well. The Cedar Rapids Sports/Social Club hosts a lot of summer and winter events (including bowling). At this bowling alley, I usually get a pitcher of Big Grove's Arms Race craft beer to drink with friends as we bowl. The atmosphere is classically sophisticated with an air of the 80s. Great Bowling Alley!

I had a great experience in here today. Based on a recommendation, I had to check out the homemade…read moretenderloin. It was amazing! The breading was flavorful but allowed the pork flavor and texture to shine. The thickness was just right and, of course, the thing was much larger than the bun! The price was also very reasonable, too! The service here was terrific. I enjoyed meeting the owner and took a menu with me. I'm looking forward to trying their pizza, too. If you're coming to Monticello, turn at 11th Street and then left again on Birch. The bowling alley is in the midst of all the factories out that way. Again, what a wonderful tenderloin! It's the best I've had in Jones County so far!

My 2 year old daughter was charged for every game she played(by herself on the tenth lane even when nobody else was even there). My wife, her son, and myself played 4 games while our 2 yr old just threw balls down the slide for 2-2 and 1/2 hours. $54. Will not go here again. Never at any point were there less than 7 open lanes out of 10 here. Would rather drive to C.R. Anamosa, or Dubuque.

The staff were easy-going and handled small glitches like resetting pins and sizing up shoes with no drama at all. They do take reservations, which is probably a good idea if you are set on bowling at a particular time.

We were downtown on New Year's Day looking for something entertaining to do; 4 adults and 2 kids under 10. Enter Spare Me. They were open on NY Day when many other businesses weren't. We walked in around 12:30 and got a table smack dab next to the bar. Purchased some tokens and away we went for the next 4 hours. Skee Ball is always my #1, but I love all pinball machines. Suffice it to say, I was entertained. Couple that with a few Sour Cherry Ciders and I didn't want to leave. The venue was extremely clean. Tasty appetizers (they were only serving apps and pizzas while we were there) and pizza, funky holiday cocktail choices and extremely friendly staff. The guy tending bar said he had worked all day/night on NYE and the place was sold out from near open to close. You never would have known they were so busy because the place was immaculately clean. We didn't bowl, but it looked fun and all lanes were booked the whole time we were there. Lanes upstairs and downstairs. Restrooms are located outside the venue and they were pretty messy with no soap (at least the ladies). Parking is really close and free on the weekends. Spare Me offers brunch, so that piqued my interest. We definitely plan to come back. Great choice for groups big or small, date night, birthday, etc.

After calling to confirm they were open, we decided to return to May City Bowl. It is a big facility with plenty of lanes. There are a few modifications due to COVID and to allow for social distancing. They will put your group on a lane away from other groups. Unless you bring your own ball, you are required to use one of maybe 10 balls that are stationed at that lane. It limits finding a ball that fits your fingers well and the weight of ball you want to use, but is understandable under these conditions. It cost $22 for three games for 2 people including shoe rental. Not a bad entertainment value. We didn't have anything to eat or drink but I know they offer a decent selection from past visits. If your looking for some solid fun in a clean environment that doesn't look down on you if your not a professional, I would recommend May City Bowl.

A few things to consider before you dine here…read more - Extremely loud, its a bowling alley, and the night I was there, they had Trivia going on at the same time. You could barely hear yourself think. - Service was s l o w. More attention to patrons at the bar. Guess that is where the money is made. - Food. Had pizza and it was disappointing. Two pieces and then boxed up the rest and threw it away on the way home. Crust was awful...the toppings tasted like they had lived past their expiration date. Upset stomach confirms this. Absolutely no flavor. Will not be back, thank goodness just passing through town. Another note, just in case the owner(s) read this. The building has no architectural appeal. Did they have a sale on the ugliest color of paint? Looks like the other businesses got the memo, nice brick buildings. Would not recommend the pizza, and by the look of the dirty tables, I would say that there appeared to be many menu items that were equally LESS desirable. Its always good to end on a positive note, so kudos to the city as you have a cute town that appears to be growing!!!
