Yeah, it was a bit small, but it really had a cozy atmosphere! Probably the star of this place is the service. From creating an event to day of, Timber Lanes showed some really good customer service. We had a party reduction and they adjusted the lanes and the price. I really appreciated the help! Also, every employee my group met the day of my event were excellent. This place has a bit of a hipster vibe, but everybody was so kind. Their drink prices were also pretty good (perhaps a steal). The only downside to this place is that its cash only. I get the want for cash only, but it is 2026. I was particularly confused that I was able to use a credit card for the deposit, but not to pay for the whole event. That part was pretty weird. Either way, this really fit the bill for our group so if we do this again, Timber Lanes is on the top of our list. We really had a great time and as long as you can get past the cash only aspect, this place is a real winner!

Timber Lanes is an anomaly in today's bowling alley experience. There is no arcade and no flashy…read moremonitors. This is an old school Bowling-with-a-capital-B alley. There is a bar and there are 7 lanes and decades of bowling paraphernalia lining the walls. The establishment is cash only, furthering the analog ambiance. Shoe rental was $3 a pair which felt like a steal. The lanes run for $45 an hour. It's very popular to those who know what they're getting into. The pins do get stuck and the machines could use a little love but the staff is quick to resolve or solve issues as they arise. You can easily book online but know that spots fill up quickly. I recommend you take yourself out for a good old fashioned night of bowling with some friends, keep track of your scores on the paper sheet they hand out, and take pleasure in the ritual of throwing the ball on the waxy lane. I'm sure it'll make you smile just like it made me.

Marcus, the owner, has been a fantastic coach so far. He's very charismatic and patient when…read moreexplaining and demonstrating any feedback. As someone who is just getting started golfing, he has really stressed the fundamentals while still pushing me to get to a point where I have the necessary skills to be able to practice and grow independently. The difference I see after each lesson is measurable and I've always left with things to practice (with videos demonstrating the exercise) so I can continue to see growth. Additionally, his location is a fantastic setup with some of the newest golf simulator technology to really enhance the lesson experience. I did a fair amount of research on different golf instructors and facilities in Chicago and am thrilled I landed on My Chicago Golf. I can't recommend Marcus and My Chicago Golf enough.

Whenever I have a rating that goes against what others' ratings are for a particular business, I…read moremake sure to thoroughly evaluate all aspects of the business and my experiences of it. So yes, I have taken a full and complete look at this business and my experiences with it and simply had a different experience than others. I took lessons here awhile back and have recently been taking lessons at a different business recently. The lessons at My Chicago Golf started out well. Marcus was attentive and was able to make a difference in my game. Things were going well. That is, until, he slept through one of our scheduled appointments. His system sends out numerous reminders about upcoming appointments to customers. Unfortunately, it seems that it only sends them out to his customers, and not to him. We had an appointment scheduled, and I showed up fifteen minutes early. His storefront was locked, and knocking and ringing the doorbell did not yield any type of response. Unfortunately, emailing, texting, and leaving voicemails also did not make a difference either as they all went unanswered. After waiting about forty-five minutes for a sixty minute lesson, he finally opened the door. At that time, however, the customer for the next hour was already waiting at the door! That customer was courteous enough to let me use his scheduled hour, and he rescheduled with Marcus. As the lesson went on, Marcus did apologize for sleeping through it. He said that he overscheduled himself that morning, which caused him to oversleep during a nap. He was definitely drowsy throughout the appointment, and wasn't entirely alert or focused on my swing. What disappointed me the most, however, was that he didn't take responsibility for his mishap. Mistakes happen to everyone. Apologizing is only the first step in taking responsibility for those mistakes. He didn't offer an extra free lesson or a refund, or anything for that matter, to make up for his major mistake. This last part that is why he is losing two stars. If he would have taken responsibility for his failures, I wouldn't be as disappointed with him. I even would have used the final lessons I had in the package I purchased. Instead, I let them go unused because I was so let down by him. Missing an appointment completely without notice and/or an acceptable reason is a huge negative and a large problem. These lessons are not cheap. What's even worse is not taking responsibility for it. Mistakes can be overlooked, if the person making those mistakes owns up to them and takes responsibility. Unfortunately that didn't happen here.

Second, I love the vast array of games they have! I came because I saw they had a super Nintendo, but then I saw this huge game set-up at one of the tables which I learned is a 19th century Canadian game called Crokinole. With a quick Google search we learned the rules in a few minutes and had a blast. I love the tactile feel of these types of games and the classic formula of "shoot item in hole". Service was great, the beers came out quickly and the bartender even brought my credit card out since I forgot it. I asked about the Super Nintendo and they checked to make sure it was on and basically it's first come first serve! They also have the original NES in the back somewhere and a whole selection of board games to play. On the super Nintendo that have a curated selection of classics like Donkey Kong Country, Mario Kart, Super Mario world, and Super Street Fighter 2. It was such a throwback to be able to play these games and felt great to share a bit of my childhood with my wife. There's nothing like spamming punch with E Honda and destroying your partner over a few beers. Low Horse is a great bar in Wicker Park with a vast selection of games and perfect for catching up with friends!

Mike the bartender was shockingly rude. I've worked in the service industry for years, and his…read moredemeanor was genuinely bizarre. I don't drink, so I asked for a regular water in a Guinness glass -- not one of the tiny self-serve cups. He refused and told me he "loses" those glasses. So if I ordered an actual Guinness, I'd get the glass... but because I'm sober, I can't? The irony is they were out of Guinness anyway because my friends had already tried to order it. It's extremely disappointing strange behavior. Sober patrons deserve the same respect and service as anyone else. If basic requests irritate you, maybe the bar industry isn't the right place to be working. I hope you reevaluate your career path and find happiness mike!

This was very sad because DBW really peaked at The Store and it wasn't quite as legendary ever again, IMO. Yesterday, we were doing Dive Bar Wednesday on Saturday (DBWoS) and were at the Marquee Lounge. It was good there for a little bit but myself and others yearned for The Store. I popped my head outside and saw people going in and out of The Store. "COULD IT BE?! Is The Store open?!" It was and we were so back. So we went to The Store for a really long time and we were SO back - we had like 20 people, maybe more. Some highlights: - My buddy Ross asked me what was behind the double doors and I jokingly said "a secret bar" and that turned out to be true. - We coerced UVM Mike into taking like 3 Malört shots, so that was sick. He and Ross got into it about public transit so he fled The Store and took the Halsted bus back to Fulton Market - My friend Nick had an epiphany and decided that he should move back to Chicago so that he can hit the store every single day Service was a little slow but they were slammed so I get it honestly. NBD. Anyway, welcome back The Store. I can't wait to go again today

Come with me on a five minute journey yelpers as we go through tonight's near drinking experience. My wife and I walked in. 3 other tables sat with drinks. Great. We sat at an empty bar. Love it. Two employees at the end of the bar ready to spring into action and pour me a Guinness. Nope. Brothers and sisters in Christ I say to thee nay. There were no drinks to be had tonight. We listened to someone do their own research about where he might sit outside with his bucket of bottles while he was led to a shelf of available options instead of told flat out. When he asked how much? He was given a general idea but no definitive response. Anyway, I'm already tired of this story and it got longer and worse and we never had anyone ask what we wanted so we walked a block down the road to Beaumont's which is the best. Go there instead. You can sit at the bar, eat some bread and oysters and drink while you write reviews for places that aren't worth your time. Cheers.
