The waitress/bar tender was more focused on sitting on her phone and she sure enough had her glass full. Although the food is really good but being treated like we are a bother when we are the only one in the restaurant portion is BS. Will never come back and will make sure people know not to come either Also while sitting next to the window, they have a bunch of dead flies on the inside. Very appetizing to look at.

Back to Whirlyball this time for a private event I worked with their team to organize the event and…read morethey did a good job putting the program together we started downstairs with renting a court and a few bowling lanes. We also added some large games to our space as well. We then made it upstairs for our dinner program and the buffet was amazing! Delicious and tenor serving they have a very nice event space upstairs. The staff were very nice. Two notes would just be that they had our program run on a court back to back with another group so it was ackward since we needed all those large games set up, had preset beverages and appetizers. Plus a full check in table. The other court was empty so I'm not certain why we weren't just in the other space. Then they also only had the front bar open in the first hour versus the one right at the courts and bowling where we were and other guests enjoying their time. In the case of our group it also left us separated into two since as they waited for drinks then they just became comfortable in the front bar talking. They did open the upstairs bar once we moved up there. I would book an event here again I would just make sure to clearly note some of those details and/or even book the court an extra hour to ensure no crossover even though I was able to set up 15 minutes before our event start. Everyone had a really fun time and for many it was their first time experiencing it.

Well, it turns out they aren't bad, but really the regulars clearly take priority. The food is standard pub fare, it's okay. I think I might have liked it better if I was here to bowl.

Before being invited to a kid's birthday party here, I've never heard of 1st and Bowl. Now my…read morefamily & I want to come all the time! How are local people not talking more about this spot?! What a hidden gem! 1st and Bowl is unique "sports bar" with so many fun things to do for people of all ages. The gaming areas included separate spaces for kids and adults, like the football bowling & connect-4 basketball. There were also pickleball courts, cornhole boards, billiards tables, golf simulators, lots of screens with different live games on, and in my opinion, the creme de la creme: the Nerf Wars arena. Lights off, black lights on, all out fun! I haven't had that much excitement playing with Nerf guns in years! Some other things observed but didn't get to experience were the full bar and a full kitchen --both looked clean, well stocked, and ready for orders. Lots of comfortable seating, tables, and little private "rooms" around the courts to chill in while playing/eating. All of the separate areas looked very clean and organized, with clearly written game instructions for the various games visible by each court. From what I saw and experienced on the day I went, I'm pleasantly impressed with this place. If you're looking for a new place to have a kid's or adult's birthday celebration, a place for a first date (or 2nd or 3rd!), something to do on the weekend with your kids, a place to hang out casually with friends, family, coworkers, literally whatever the occasion -- than look no further than 1st and Bowl. This venue is top notch!

There is a full service bar and kitchen which offers a variety of pizzas, nachos, and other odds and ends. There's also pull tabs and an ATM. The space is available for both kids and adult parties, as well as corporate events and fundraisers. Adult parties, depending on size, run from $250-$760. Kids parties from $195-$500. Food and drinks were basic but good. The space is rather rudimentary, and on really cold winter days gets a bit chilly. Still, the open spaces are well organized and set up. A nice place for friends and families to spend time being active inside when being outside is not an option.

As people have mentioned, the cost of bowling and shoe rental has gone up, but we made some great memories. We did have one lane of our 3 give us some issues throughout our 2 hour slot and had to find help a few times when we couldn't troubleshoot on our own, but we were given some extra time to finish up, and we had a great time. The bowling alley looks like it's had a fairly recent refresh - updated signage and decor and lots of screens. The older bowlers felt the music was a little loud, and wished you could see the arrows on the lanes but the younger members of our crew seemed to enjoy the vibes.

There was one woman for the entire place and it appeared she also took food out to the lanes- which means she disappeared two or three times while we were waiting to place our order. I believe every single lane was taken, and there's only one person to take orders, make drinks AND serve? WHAT? She also seemed to have no awareness whatever of who came first, and helped at least 3 different people before us that had approached while we were waiting. When the food did come out maybe 20 minutes later it was plopped down at the back table by our lane and left- whoever brought it didn't say a word. It might have been sitting there for a solid 5-10 minutes since I wasn't monitoring the back table every second. Overall the food wasn't bad- but left me crazy frustrated. The people at the desk were helpful but quite slow when we asked for the bumpers to be taken down at our lane. I don't have any significant feelings on their service otherwise. My fellow bowlers said they love coming here, but typically come during the week- so maybe the busy weekend wasn't right for a first impression- I've worked in customer service and am willing to cut a bit of slack per their review. All in all I will stick to my usual new berlin ale house where things seem a bit more professional and servers are always quick and attentive- even on league nights when it's crazy hectic.
