I've spent 100s of hours in classic lanes, great people, great food, and reasonable prices. If you're looking for a good pro shop nearby these are the guys. Prices for a lane are cheaper Monday-Thursday (something to consider before you come) and there is a summer bowling pass they have done in the past few years where you can bowl free all summer for a $300~ upfront free (amazing deal). If you're really competitive look into the Tuesday house shot sweepers, lots of amazing bowlers there as well as in the leagues. read more

Got the pizza and cheese sticks during the bowling game, they were both okay, flavor wasn't all there. The service was pretty fast. The bowling alley itself was nice, pool tables, full bar and food also which is a bonus. read more

Haven't been bowling in a long time, but my cousins' kids wanted to go. Staff was extremely friendly, both at the front desk and at the food counter. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza, wings, and fries.

Classic Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Rochester Hills, Michigan

Old school feel with friendly service and affordable pricing! Didn't try any food. We had one lane with bumpers and a ramp for our littles, and bowled "regular" next door. Loads of fun! We spent just under $100 for 6 people to bowl 2 games and get a pair of shoes. Had about an hour and half of fun! read more

Their website is terribly unoptimized if all you have is a mobile phone. I wanted to view league information but can't get past a "VIP sign-up" pop-up. Filling it out won't make it go away either. I tried selecting the option to send a question so I can relay this info there, but I'm unable to select or fill out any of those fields. read more

Classic is my favorite bowling alley I've ever been to I come here like 4 times a week to practice and each time it gets better!, they have some pretty good food too! The staff is really nice and really interactive! Prices are really cheap for like 10$ an hour read more

A classic bowling ally that we always have a fun time at! Good deals and has the summer bowling fun for kids

Classic Lanes served its purpose on a Saturday night when we wanted to go bowling. We had grabbed some 'free game' coupons from a local ice cream shop and decided to use them. We had to pay for shoes, which came out to about $4/person. There was a group on every other lane, so we were able to get right on a lane. Drinks are cheap from the bar - which is a plus. read more

Classic Lanes - Interior - Bowling Near Me - Rochester Hills, Michigan

We set out to have a fun Thanksgiving Eve, Bowling with family. After bowling we decide to grab a bite in the bar. You have to order your food at the bar so my sister went to order for the table. The guy that took her order made sexually suggestive comments not once but 3-4 times. My sister came back to the table visibly shaken and upset. I went to the front desk to let them Know what happened. The lady at the desk came to the bar and had a conversation with the bartender and a few others and then proceeded to come to our table. She apologized to my sister and said she would talk to him. To make matters worse the man in question was the one that brought our pizza to us. What started out as a fun family night turned ugly as my sister was very upset. I don't think we will be going back anytime soon and it's a shame because I like that bowling alley. read more

It's a fun place to hang out, have a birthday party, or even get together with a group of friends. If you like bowling and classic style places, I recommend this spot for you. read more

I'm not an avid bowler, but I contacted Classic Lanes to hold a Christmas work gathering of 50 people and they helped me plan the event and it was absolutely great today. They set us up with 10 lanes, plenty of different pizzas and soda. The pizza is really good too. They make their own dough! The staff was very friendly and cleaely wanted to ensure our team had a great time and was taken care of. I will certainly bring my team back and also my family and friends. read more

Had a 5 and 7 YO bday party at Classic Lanes and kids had a blast. Staff was helpful. Next time I would ask for food to be served earlier and someone to help us set up lanes. read more

We attended a fraternity parent event today with bowling, pizza and fun for 4 hours. What a well maintained, clean and organized bowling alley. There were no problems with the bowling equipment or areas. Nice Upbeat Music playing in background while bowling. We ate delicious pizza with fluffy air crust, great flavor.. pitchers of Labatt beer, very good and fair price 9.50. The process to pick up /receive our pizza in the bar area was very organized by a happy manager ..she enjoyed serving 150 people for our event.. The SigEp guys chose a great bowling alley this year. Wonderful FUN time!! Hoot hoot guys! read more

Classic Lanes - What a fun, well maintained, organized establishment! - Bowling Near Me - Rochester Hills, Michigan

Very impressed with this bowling alley. I went on a Wednesday, when after 8 pm they offer unlimited bowling AND shoes for $8.25. A real deal!! The alley itself was exceptionally clean, hence the 5 stars. There were no crumbs or stains on the carpet, and my table was freshly cleaned and sanitized. I noticed the staff quickly cleaning newly deserted tables - showing that they care. My boyfriend says that the men's restroom was tidy. Also, the equipment worked very well and there was a sizeable selection of bowling balls. Kitchen staff was friendly and the pizza didn't look bad. One last thing I appreciated about Classic Lanes was that they didn't require me to trade in my regular shoes for bowling shoes. I just like that I was able to keep my regular shoes at my table instead of having them go into a cubbie. I will return!!! I hope this alley stays in business. I've noticed several going out of business in the area, and it makes me sad. read more

My favorite bowling alley! Just as cozy as it's been for the whole 25 or so years that I've been coming here. Staff is pleasant, patrons as well. This place is impressively busy at times but I've never had issues with getting a lane or drinks. The food is for sure 'bar food' and pretty much what you could expect at a bowling alley, haha - but doesn't disappoint. If you do have to wait for a lane, they do have a couple (cheap, too!) pool tables in the bar area and they do let you know in a timely manner when your lane is ready. The bar area has plenty of high and low tables to hang at, too. What I favor most is the no-nonsense of this place all around - the staff that I see when I come here have always been great and I want to say that most have been working at this place for some time - it's always nice to see familiar faces in a business that has been around as long as Classic has. Pitchers are cheap and they do have unlimited bowling! Also, bathrooms have always been clean which is such a plus. Even on their busy days I've never walked in here and thought "whoa who's not cleaning today?" haha. Classic does a great job of bussing tables even by the lanes and keeping everything presentable. I can't speak on what the pricing is exactly or how it differentiates (day/night/etc) but it's never unreasonable. I'm no professional bowler by any means but I love coming here when I can. If you're looking for legit good, clean, fun - come here! You can absolutely have a great night out without breaking the bank. Side note: I had my 7th birthday party here in 1997 and I will continue to come here as long as they stay open! read more

We had our going away party there tonight and the customer service was second to none! We had to make some last minute changes and the team was so accommodating! Erica and Michelle are rockstars! read more

Awesome place to be! Bowling, Birthday parties for ALL ages, great place to go to be with great people and friends old and new. Got 4 friends? Great! You have a team! They have a night for bowling on a league that fits you perfectly!!! Hungry? Stop by the snack bar, they have a FULL MENU that will satisfy any appetite; and a bar that won't quit! Great staff, awesomely clean environment, and great place to bring your kids and family. read more

One of the cleaner bowling alleys I have seen. Service was moderately friendly. Did not experience any problems with the scoring system and didn't have to call for maintenance at all. It was kind of a bummer we were put on a lane that didn't have a working TV so I couldn't watch the football game I was trying to watch. Overall decent bowling alley and can't complain too much. read more

Not a bad alley! The drinks were great, and inexpensive, the food we sampled was above average bar food, and the service was spot on. I wouldn't mind being part of a league here in the winter time, when there isn't a whole lot to do. It's off the beaten path and it serves the purpose! Would be better if they had a DJ! read more

Classic Lanes - Garlic cheese sticks.... seriously...wow... - Bowling Near Me - Rochester Hills, Michigan

So expensive, and our lane was down repeatedly. They don't add time to your game, even though the lane issues are clearly due to old equipment, which isn't maintained. We thought this would be fun on a rainy day, but it was nowhere near worth the $85 we spent for five of us to bowl for two hours. They don't even thank you for your business. They blamed my husband for using a 15-pound ball, which we found on their shelves. Why offer a ball that heavy if the lane can't handle the weight? What do they do on league nights, when people bring their own heavier balls? Additionally, the lane failed several times when my nephews, who were using lighter balls, bowled, so I highly doubt the issue is the ball my husband chose. What a total joke. Waste of money and time. We should have gone to one of the nicer and newer places around. We won't be back. read more

A group of friends and I came here after dinner on Saturday night. This is a typical bowling alley...nothing fancy. The do a hourly bowling package that we took advantage of. We got 2 lanes, unlimited games, free shoe rental, 2 pitchers of beer, and nachos for $41/hr. This was not a bad deal for a group ( 7 of us). The normal price is $3.75 / a game plus $3 for shoe rental. read more

Literally ever person that works here is amazing! I brought my 2 impatient young boys here to bowl and the staff were so accommodating! Everything was clean and organized! Do Yourself a favor and order the fries!!! BEST FRIES EVER!!!! read more

Very disappointed. Usually bowling alleys have poor service but always with a smile. Lost that loving feeling, your thinking? Yes as Neil Dimond so elegantly put it, it's gone gone gone! Thankfully I had my family and some friends from church. We made the best of it. I won't be telling friends or going back to this unfortunately put together place of darkness and fun sponges!! Please somebody buy this place since it is a good location off of 59! read more

Classic is tucked away on Industrial Drive, not surprisingly surrounded by an industrial complex of tool and die type places. I'm not gonna lie; Classic is kind of crappy. The lanes are clean enough, but the rest of the place is pretty run down. If by "classic" they mean "nothing is ever fixed" or "we have the same carpet we bought in 1974!" then that'd be accurate. They have about 20 lanes. Surprisingly they do good business, so on a weekend you may be waiting. They have something that passes for an arcade, which is basically an old Golden Tee machine, a couple other old games, and an ancient pool table with some really bent sticks. Its one saving grace is that it's dirt cheap here. You can get a whole night of bowling in for under $20, and that's rare these days. Still, it's a teenager hang-out, so expect loud, sometimes (but not always) obnoxious bowlers around you. It's tough in the Rochester area; there's what? Only two or three bowling alleys within a reasonable driving distance. If you value price over all else, then this would be the place for you. Otherwise, I'd suggest finding somewhere cleaner and quieter. read more

This bowling alley is ok. The prices during the day are unbeatable, $5 an hour. Wish the lanes were cleaner though, and the one guy with the beard at the front counter is not very friendly to his customers or his employees. We heard him throwing F bombs at another worker. Very unprofessional read more

Honestly, its a diamond in the rough sort of place. It's not going to blow your mind in terms of a fancy bowling alley but its clean, it has nice balls ;), and the lanes are well kept. We always have fun when we go here and the bartenders know their stuff. If you are in the area and are looking for some fun ways to spend some free time I would suggest you try this place out. read more

Not impressed, I booked a bowling birthday party for my BF and friends and the front desk guys were annoyed and rude when 10 less ppl didn't show up then what we were planning for and asked us to wait for more people to come in our group before asking for food, 2 hrs in we need food now no matter what the cost is! We booked this party already already knowing the cost. It's a package party with a price we were already willing to pay. I was really disappointed with front desk service. Bar and kitchen staff was amazing though with wonderful service, front desk needs more customer service experience handling people needs, they are the front line that makes this bowling alley, and being in Rochester hill I was expecting better service. read more

It's your average bowling alley! They do have lots of food and a full bar, so that's cool. Also, cosmic bowling after 10 pm. Now that it's smoke-free, it's a much more pleasant place to be! read more

Games are overpriced, both weekdays and weekends. The lanes and equipment are outdated and the oil pattern was burnt up.

Do not play any songs in the juebox. The song will not play and money will be wasted. Also the screens are from 1980. Waste of money.

Most inexpensive drinks in town, nice place to go with friends and family to bowl and have a good time. Chicken bacon ranch pizza with a pitcher a beer and 2 games of bowling is what it's all about. read more

The service was awful. Promise to give us a lane and waited for over 2 hours without getting a lane. Rude personal at the desk. Unhelpful and didn't care attitude. Would never return or recommend read more

Very bad service. I went here with family and friends to have a good time, place was a little packed more than usual and when asking for help to attendant out of the blue he step out and let me there staring at the cashier while the guy was knocking his head against the ball rack. read more

well, it's a bowling alley. lots of white people. smelt kind of like an armpit. not completely hating. they were helpful but I'm sure they have never vacuumed that carpet. also when my friend and I received our shoes the laces were dripping wet. weird read more

Unfortunately, we had to cancel a company event that was supposed to take place here. The owner(Jim) could not have been more understanding and easy to work with. Hopefully we can get a party lined up here in the future! Great business and even better owner! Thanks Jim for the exceptional customer service! read more

I have been to this alley a few times. During the week in the middle of the day it's okay. Mostly empty and quiet. However, I went once during a semi-busy time and was completely disappointed. There was a party going on I think and there were tons of kids. I brought my 2 kids, so I didn't think anything about the place being overrun by kids, that wasn't the problem. The problem was the parents were not watching or disciplining their children and the management did absolutely nothing when the kids were rough housing on the bowling floor and running into other people's lanes. I thought they should have at least asked the parents to keep control of their children or leave. My 2 little toddlers were better behaved than the older kids that knew better. And to top off this horrible experience a couple of kids, about 6 and 10, tried stealing my brother-in-law's ball from right in front of our faces. They just walked up to it, took it, and ran. Once again management did nothing to stop them and we had to take care of it ourselves. And to show what kind of trash bowls at this alley, there was a couple in the next lane constantly groping each other...in plane view of children! Absolutely rediculous! Unfortunately I joined the kids bowl free and bought the family pass to this place before I realized what a horrible, trash attracting, non-kid friendly place this is, and I can't get my money back from that to go somewhere else. read more

I was going to have my son's birthday party here because our usual place, Five Star Lanes, would be closed. They charge $13.75/child to bowl, which is a lot more than other alleys. I decided to book it, then go in and put a deposit. As soon as I pulled up, I got a bad feeling. I know most bowling alleys look dodgey on the outside, so I decided to look past that and go in. We walked in, and as soon as I opened the door, I was punched in the face with an obnoxious odor. It smelt moldy and old. I walked around for a little to check it out, and I didn't think it warranted what they wanted to charge for a birthday party. It definitely needs to be remodeled, and something needs to be done about that smell. I walked out, and cancelled our reservations for the party. I don't know why they think they can charge so much? I would never bowl here. Yuck! read more

My family and I went to the Funky Frog Customer Appreciation Party and we were very impressed with how clean and organized everything was. There were plenty of bowling balls, even for little ones. I was surprised how clean everything was, from the shoes, the balls and even the bathrooms. Also the kids loved the "GloBowl"! read more
