Our bowling ball did get stuck a few times and they had to reset the pins but that didn't bother us too much. We didn't keep score as it was manual & I don't know enough to bother. It was fun just bowling away. I went with my niece and she had a ton of fun. It is not wheelchair accessible. You need to go down a narrow flight of stairs to get to the basement bowling alley.

We picked Ballroom Bowl Yorkville for a colleague's farewell on St. Patrick's Day... and somehow…read morewalked out with full stomachs, great memories, and goodies. Iconic behavior, honestly. Right from the start, the vibes were on point. We all kicked things off with Guinness (because how could you not on St. Paddy's?), and the fun surprise--they were giving out goodies to everyone ordering Guinness stout. Safe to say, we were easily influenced and happily so. Now to the actual review: this place is popular for a reason. It strikes that perfect balance between high-energy fun and laid-back hangout. You've got a full bar setup with TVs playing live games if that's your scene, and then the main attraction--bowling. With 6 lanes right in the heart of downtown, it's kind of impressive how well they've made the space work. It never felt chaotic, even with multiple groups playing. Food? Genuinely solid. And bonus points for having good vegetarian options (not just an afterthought menu either). Add in happy hour deals and daily discounted dishes, and suddenly you're staying way longer than planned--which is exactly what happened to us. We were a group of 7-8 people and ended up spending around 4 hours here without even noticing time fly. The music absolutely carried the energy through the night--fun, lively, but not overwhelming. Service was smooth, ambience was great, and overall it just worked for a group celebration. Honestly, I could see this place fitting any mood--date night, after-work hangout, birthdays, or even just going solo to bowl and soak in the vibe. Ballroom Bowl Yorkville? Easy 10/10. Would absolutely roll back again

We were scheduled for the first time slot shortly after they opened on a Saturday and had the entire place to ourselves. With an attendant who brought you to your lane from upstairs and grabbed your shoes to another who took care of food and drinks and gave them directly to you, the staff was beyond lovely. The lights, new school lanes that allow you to choose the way your scoreboard looks, and the delicious looking menu (we didn't partake because just simply weren't hungry), this place adds a modern twist on a classic activity that can be enjoyed with friends, family, or a partner.

I should have reviewed the ratings before attempting this location. Based on the feedback from…read moreother customers, I would not have tried it, and unfortunately, my experience aligned with many of the concerns mentioned. A 2.5-star rating speaks for itself. This was our second attempt to bowl at this location, and unfortunately, we still had no success. We made a reservation on OpenTable on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. for both bowling and dining. At 6:00 p.m., someone called to inform us that our 6:45 p.m. reservation was only for dining and wanted to confirm we were not planning to bowl. This was confusing, especially since we were already on the way. We then spoke with a manager who explained they often experience issues with OpenTable. As a result, we had to turn around, and we did not bowl that evening. The next day, we called at 2:00 p.m. to inquire about making a reservation, and Ruth informed us that bowling is first come, first served. We immediately headed over in an Uber, only to find that every lane was taken--information that Ruth did not mention. A simple clarification that the lanes were already full would have prevented an unnecessary trip. When we arrived, she asked for our reservation, which was perplexing given she had just told us reservations could not be made by phone. Overall, this was disappointing and reflects poor customer service. I will not be returning to this location. I recommend avoiding it.

It definitely adds to the whole experience. What I like about this place is that it's more than just bowling. They also have laser tag and an arcade area with classic games and claw machines. The arcade isn't very big, but it still has enough to keep kids entertained. Pricing is on higher $49.99/hour per lane on weekdays and $69.99/hour on weekends, with VIP lanes available for an extra $10. Shoe rental is extra. They sell food and drinks on site, so there's a bag check at the entrance. It can get busy on weekends, so I'd recommend booking ahead. Overall, it's a solid indoor family spot -- especially during colder months -- and we'd definitely come back again!

Taking a look around, eZone also has a court for ball hockey or basketball, laser tag, golf simulators, pool, ping pong ... and a bar/restaurant attached as well.
