I've off-and-on been coming to Merri Bowl for some time. I'm not an avid bowler, but I come from a…read morefamily of bowlers. Truth be told, I worked here for about a year when I was 18 (back in 2002), and while they've had a few renovations since then (replaced the old lanes with new synthetic lanes, basic maintenance, etc), this new renovation they've had since changing ownership has really done wonders for the building. For years, Merri Bowl was run by the same parent ownership of Oxford Lanes in Dearborn (which no longer exists), Super Bowl in Canton, Plum Hollow Lanes in Southfield, and others. Since changing hands this past year, the new Merri Bowl is shockingly well-kempt with new pergo flooring, furniture, and all the bells and whistles, while still having great deals on late night bowling, a great snack bar, etc.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my recent visit to your bowling alley on…read more5/24/26. I had looked forward to spending an enjoyable evening with friends and family; however, the customer service experience did not meet reasonable expectations. Upon arrival, we were informed that outside food and drinks were not allowed, which I understood and respected. However, when I attempted to get water from the snack and bar area, I was repeatedly refused water by TYRONE, who was working in that area at the time. Each time I requested water, he stated that he could not provide any, but bottled water was available for purchase. Which he lied water was available without purchasing a bottle one. I questioned this response because I had personally observed several customers walking around with pitchers of water and plastic cups. I even asked another customer where he received his water, and he informed me that it came from the snack area and that he was not charged for it As a paying customer, I believe it is reasonable to expect respectful and consistent customer service. Refusing to provide water while apparently making exceptions for others felt unfair and unprofessional, especially considering we had already spent money on bowling and shoe rentals. The vide felt very shady. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, and I do not plan to return. I hope they take this feedback seriously and review the issues mentioned above in order to improve the experience for future customers. Bre L.

A fine bowling alley and a lot cleaner than most! Took my…read morekid here for her first time and we had a very good time. Had the whole place practically to ourselves. Decently priced for two games at $30 or so. The vending is a rip off however and they don't serve any food. $4 for a Celsius and like $2 for a very small bag of chips. But you don't go there to dine, you go to roll. I do wish they had bowlin balls for kids though. Mine had a hard time with a 6 lb ball, which was the lightest we could find. Also the games there aren't worth it. Watched them pack down the claw machine before closing it up for usage. Overall, a good neighborhood alley.
