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!

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.

The lounge was spacious and provided a great setting to enjoy the game. We ordered the wings with gochujang sauce ($20), house fries ($9), and ice cream sandwiches ($10).

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.

The five pin bowling is in the basement next to the Tavola restaurant. It is a little older than some of the 'big box' bowling places around but has ~14 lanes, some pinball machines, nice shoes, and it was a perfect Friday night out with our two young kids. They have guard rails and small bowling shoes for them which added to their excitement. It's licensed and they serve some snacks but we did not stay long enough to try anything. It was really clean and organized. Loved that they had the glow in the dark/disco bowling. The other lanes were occupied by large groups of kids (birthday?) and other families out for some fun. I'd definitely go back....a bit more interactive than our regular movie night.

This is a no-frills experience, but it's reasonably priced, with amazing staff, and decent party package options. We rented a lane for about an hour, for a family gathering, with ages 4-74, and had a great time (even though several chairs were oddly sticky.) Our party package included pitchers of soft drinks, and surprisingly good pizza! You may bring your own fruit or veggie platter, since they don't offer veg options. Shoe rental is $3.00 and though the shoes are very worn, they did the job. Parish offers 5-pin bowling only, and you can choose cosmic or regular when you arrive. We didn't use the billiard or games room, but it's a cool option to extend your play day. We'd go back for a few more bowling games.

This was a humbling experience because despite being a pretty good consistently over 100 regular bowler I didn't crack a 50 in my first game. The second game wasn't much better. I ended up with a 43. Despite the poor bowling scores I enjoyed the venue and the food and the company and the music. The location is above the Dundas station in the building with the Shake Shack. I'm new to Toronto so please excuse my ignorance. With the recent cold spell it's nice to not have to go outside to access the location. There are 15 lanes and a full bar. Happy hour runs from noon till 4 pm so plan accordingly. We didn't get here until 430 pm so missed happy hour this time around. Drinks include wine and beer and cocktails along with mocktails. Food menu is extensive and extremely delicious. We had garlic knots, 2 types of wings - garlic Parmesan and honey garlic. We also had the Caesar salad which turned out to be a delicious work of art. All in all a lovely Tuesday afternoon that I'd recommend to others in the area looking for something a little different from regular drinks at the bar after work.

If you haven't tried duckpin bowling before, it's a little different--smaller, lighter balls (no finger holes), shorter pins, and you get three rolls per frame, which makes it a bit more forgiving and a lot of fun.
