    They EVEN have gardenburgers!
    Sherry S.

    My mind is in the gutter for this bowling alley. They've got the best balls and the best alley to glide them down. They are also one of the biggest that I've found so far as they've got 24 lanes. This might "strike" you as funny but I know this because I've been checking out the other alleys and doing my research. The employees are super hospitable and keep a clean house as well. I cannot wait to grab a ball and play again. I will "spare" you with any other details and you can check out their pins yourself.

    I haven't bowled in forty years. Even then, when Dick Nixon was rolling the basement with the plumbers, I was only rolling 120. Mostly we drank beer, smoked and made eyes at girls, and when our turn came around, rolled the ball down the lane to a chorus of jeers and insults. It was great! Recently I've been thinking of trying it again, so I made my way out to Mt. Hood Lanes. Not much in life has stood still, and bowling is no exception. While me and Nixon rolled on old oiled wooden lanes, the lanes here are Brunswick Pro Anvil Synthetic. The surface beautiful, smooth and consistent. The scoring is all automatic , using touch screen technology. The place is clean and bright - gone were the cigarettes, beer bottles and my hoodlum friends. Doug, who was working the counter set me up with an open lane and some shoes. He was kind enough to show me how to use the Brunswick touch screen scoring system, which basically requires you to enter your name and click "bowl". I rolled three games using a 13 pound plastic house ball and rolled a score of 120 - well that didn't change.

    My kids loved bowling here. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. It has a quite a few lanes and I liked that you were able to reserve a lane online if you wanted to.

    Great sauce station! Love love love this place!

    Wow, I don't know why people would say anything negative about this place! I loved it! I had the Bacon Bogey Cheeseburger, and let me just say wow! It was so good, juicy, fresh. I like the fact that they have the sauces on there own table. My family and I are sauce freaks so it was extremely convenient! The customer service was superb and the girls were so nice! Haylee was so nice and because of her customer service, me and my family will be back here when we visit! I have 2 small kids and they loved it, lots of stuff for them to look at on the walls :) Thanks girls it was sooooo good!

    Kids had a great time bowling in their 7th birthday!

    Functions well as a bowling alley. They've got cold beer on tap. Their food however, is absolutely horrible.

    Good for casual hang outs. Nothing special but it's nice and it's not crazy expensive. I do recommend everyone try it at least once

We sat in our parking spot long enough for Norman Goldman to serve up a little justice on the head of some, star-spangeled, economic hit-man, grabbed our balls and followed the thin man. After two hours of bowling and drinking under the black-lights, we dropped into the Lava Lounge for thirteen or fifteen more drinks. The floor was strewn with bowling bags, and ex-bowlers turned bad playing video poker. Asian girls, punk rockers and wanna-be rappers were lining up for karaoke. We decided to have sixteen or twenty drinks instead and signed up for top billing with the karaoke DJ. Sherry's went first with Diana Krall's "Peel Me a Grape". She broke a leg man - not a dry eye in the house: even the punk rockers were beside themselves. I mopped up with Frank Zappa's "Dirty Love". The girl's were screaming like back in the 60s - they mobbed me and someone took my shoe. Our cash was gone so we left while some kid was bringing down the house with a rousing rendition of Snoop Dogg's "I Don't Need No Bitch".

The moment you walk in, the whole place hits you with that perfect blend of holiday magic and vintage swagger. From the bar to the black-leather booths, the hardwood tables, the chrome, the glass every inch feels intentional, polished, and full of nostalgia. What really gets me is the style. The staff dressed sharp, the lighting just right, the whole atmosphere giving off that confident sass and class vibe. If I ever had a spot of my own, I'd want it to look and feel exactly like this. And the location? Perfect. It's one of those places you can swing into for anything grab a bite, bowl a few frames, play some games, or just soak in the holiday glow. It's that rare mix of fun, comfort, and timeless cool that keeps pulling you back. If you haven't been here during the holidays, make it happen. The Christmas lights alone are worth the trip. I absolutely love this place. Five stars, easy.

The two separate areas for the bowling is a nice feature (if you want something a little more quiet or less crowded). There appears to be a big meeting area in between for parties. Lots of game options and then the sports area (pool tables and lots of seating). We truly only experienced bowling and the service related to that. We did the VIP experience for our 9 people and had two servers for us. We ordered drinks via the QR code and they came out relatively quickly. We did a couple appetizers while bowling - the spinach artichoke dip and some cold cheese dip with potato chips. Both were fine, bar level nothing to really write about. The thing I remember is that one of our lanes kept having issues switching between players and the other kept having the balls get stuck at the return. Otherwise, they were playing 90s-00s music videos that were totally my jam. Can't complain about that!
