I like this place and come here every week and enjoy the time never had any problems till today. The bartender lady who said I'm the manager was extremely rude to us and also for the guys who was playing pool so we all left the place and I wish my review will fund the right person. Thank you! read more

Ty the bartender was amazing and awesome and made everything so good and amazing and she had good vibes

The staff was very friendly. We needed more tables in the community room and they got them immediately. We overstayed our hour by 10 minutes and they were very accommodating. They did not charge us extra. I was impressed with the communication beforehand when renting this room. The company they used to book the room was very good. read more

I was in to gamble and play tabs last evening and I must say Joey was on point and was so polite and funny, made me feel so good when he wished me luck upon getting my etab machine. I go there every week as it's a cozy. quiet bar! read more

Colonial Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

See all

It's the perfect small town/small city bowling alley and pub food. Bartenders are always nice, always can find a lane, there's gambling, pool, and indoor plumbing. They also have street and off street parking so you can Uber home after drinking. I would have given it 6 stars, but they've done nothing to make me a better bowler. read more

Colonial Lanes - Last guy at end the bartender as my beer has sat empty for over 5 minutes ! - Bowling Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Bowling may have been cheap in the 80's. But not anymore. Most houses are outfitted with synthetic lanes these days (meaning they don't wear down like those awful wood lanes) and have hi-tech light show and sound equipment (for the "cosmic" or "extreme" bowling). This place has fair prices...again, bowling is no longer a "cheap" enterprise like it used to be, so if you haven't been in awhile understand that it's not a cheap diversion like it used to be. And to the guy who complained about not getting bumpers...those are meant for children. Get a clue...nobody is watching or cares what your score is. You probably spoke with one of the managers there...and believe me they get tired of changing out those chintzy bumpers because drunken adults think it's fun to bounce the ball off them. This place is better than Recreation Lanes in Rochester if you're an avid bowler OR if you're looking for a good scene on a Friday or Saturday night. If you don't care about bowling/bar scene, either one will satisfy your needs. read more

Enjoyed the all you can bowl on Sunday night for $12 each. This was our first visit and it was good people watching. Decent selection of taps at the bar and service was friendly and helpful. Lane was clean and we had a good time! read more

The price for bowling was ok. We came as a group of 12 people and rent 3 lanes for 3 hours from 9 pm to 12am on may 26th 2013. The place is nice but one of the staff were so mean to us. The guy in green t shirt talked to us in a harsh way like he didn't care about the customers at all. That was the only thing i concerned about. Hope this won't happen again. read more

Kind of gross and grimy but definitely a good deal for what you're getting. My friends and I came by on a Wednesday night to make the most out of the happy hour deals; we ended up waiting about a half hour since the place was super busy (who knew people still bowled, and on a weekday too!). We kept ourselves busy with $3 G&Ts and before long, we had a lane. Rounds were BOGO and shoe rentals are cheap ($3 I believe) so I spent less than $10 total for alcohol and a few hours of bowling combined. They close by 10 PM so plan accordingly! read more

Great place to bring the fam- at least the time we visited on a Friday afternoon. Staff is friendly (Mike in particular) and we had a great time. read more

Biggest waste of money! Our first lane couldn't keep score. They moved us that lane couldn't keep score either. The balls would get stuck, pins reset when they weren't suppose to. And, the staff idiots. It took 10 minutes for 4 pops. The kid behind the bar didn't look old enough to be behind the bar. HORRIBLE experience. read more

Well, it's a bowling alley... It meets does its purpose. Price was a little steep, I thought. ~$30 for one hour on a lane and three pairs of shoes. I thought bowling was cheaper. Is it just me? read more

Awful awful place. They staff were jerks. Birthday party for my kids, I asked for the drinks that came with our package; they said "we usually get them towards the end", and did not bring us any (until the end of the 2 hours). We brought snacks for the kids and they told us we had to take them out to the car because outside food was not allowed in (even though we bought their food package in addition to snacks). I tried to give the kids snacks anyway and he came immediately over and told me to take them to the car. They would not bring the food we ordered, though, until the end (with the drinks). DO NOT HAVE A PARTY FOR YOUR KIDS HERE!!!! read more
