We came here to play pool for my sister's birthday and we had more fun than we expected! Big room of pool tables. We ate at Nana's next door before we came in but they did serve food at the bowling alley. This is a great place to meet up with a large crowd. We took 2 pool tables and had a blast. read more

My 12 yr old daughter with a friend on a Sat night and requested 2 games. They only played one game and the lady said 1 game per person. Im assuming since shes took too much they didn't them anymore. Furthermore, since my daughter was going there frequently a staffer gave her a smaller ball that was scratched up to take some, well this staffer ripped it out of her and and through it down. I called the manager all he said was we don't give out anything for free and there is nothing he can do. This is horrible, make a 12 yr old girll cry. DONT GO HERE FOR ANY REASON. read more

Streamwood Bowl is one of them not-so-fancy bowling alleys, with CRT score monitors, which is A-OK with me. There's plenty of bowling balls to choose from, and on a Tuesday night, there was a decent crowd. Actually, it was a decent crowd for any night TBH. On Tuesdays after 8, you can bowl all you want from 8PM-11PM for just $10 per person. A pretty good deal, if you ask this cheap bastard. Shoe rentals go for only $3 so I'm definitely a fan of the price. I got the velcro laceless shoes. It brought me back to when I was a wee old lad. Bowling was a good time. Although the scoreboard was rather old, it served its purpose. While newer scoreboards have fancy animation in between frames and such, these scoreboards show the score, and in between frames, advice on how to get that spare or maximize on pin knockage. That's all I really need. No need to be taunted by the scoreboard after this Gutterball McGee goes for three in a row. My highest score out of the five games we played was an 87 ha. But it was good time. Everything for us worked great, although the lane right next to us did freeze in between a frame, and pressing the "reset" button on the side of the ball return track didn't get it back.... on track. Get it? OK drop the mic. BATHROOM REVIEW: Bathrooms located near the arcade area, the mens bathroom consisted of a couple of stalls and urinals. It smelled like an old bathroom that needed to be cleaned.... 3 years ago. There was only one sink and the water pressure was low. At least the soap dispenser worked. Sit or squat? Squat for sure. read more

Streamwood Bowl - Count Strikula - Bowling Near Me - Streamwood, Illinois

The lady at the counter was being very rude after I called the night before and asked if there was open bowl.

I love this bowling alley!!!! I used to go all the time. I do not know if Terry & Kristy still work there BUT they were great

My family had a ball. I had fun at this place with my family. We had good times together at the bowl

I have been going here since the 1970's. It has honestly been awhile but when I bring the family to visit HOME this will be a must to stop in and throw a few games. read more

Cheapest pool tables around, good snacks. Arcade has so much potential but i have never seen it open. Besides the rude staff, good fun time!

Its not a dump and management has improved. Prices can be decent and not too outrageous like some of the other suburban bowling alleys. Food is ok, the cooks go out of their way to make it your way. Please be good to them and tip. I cannot fuckin stand some of the employees that clear the lanes of debris, i.e. balls, pins. These morons, who knows, (who trained them), they are notorious for stepping onto the lanes and smudging the oil. (If you don't know what this means, ask a bowler to explain. ) Lanes are not meant to be touched by anything, but the ball, the pins and the waxing machine. If a footprint is left on the lane, that can cause your ball to suddenly change direction, it changes the entire path that you'd laid, when you dropped your bowling ball. Sometimes at night during league play, you can catch these punks smoking weed in the Men's room. Classy, I know. Good alcohol specials. read more

Since I moved !!! This place have so many good memories with friends and family!!! I enjoyed been here!!!! Good place to have drinks and have a good time. read more

Austere and trapped in the 90's, this bowling alley is the opposite of Pinstripes.zodwoV-gumwo6-fegcaz

I would not recommend this established to anyone looking to have a good time! The front desk person has the personality of a pencil sharpener and is not very pleasant. We waited over almost two hours for for an available lane when lanes were open. Avoid this place and go to another bowling alley if you're looking to have a good time. read more

Brought my family here for some Sunday funday time and the attitude of the front desk rep was ridiculous. Judging by the business owner profile picture I'm 99.9 percent sure that was him and let me tell you what a sad sad way to run your business. Customer service is so important and the gentleman was rude rude rude I would never come back to this place nor recommend it ever again. read more

I had the best time at this awesome neighborhood bowling alley! They played the best music, old school 90's and current hits. I laughed so hard with all my friends. The food was hot and delicious, the fries and the mozzarella sticks were so yummy and they even have a full bar here! If you want a classic fun night with your friends/family, don't walk...run to this fantastic place! read more

I like that it is never crowded, never have to wait. Brings me back to the 90s with its teal trim and PAC-man graphics on bulky monitors. The counter guy was pleasant and not in-your-face. I like this atmosphere over Pinstripes. read more

Streamwood Bowl - Bowling Near Me - Streamwood, Illinois

It's an old alley. I don't expect much. The games are run down but the lanes are in fine condition. The thing that irks me is how crabby the people working there are. I mean just try. You're there anyway, you may as well smile that people are nice to you, you have a job, you're in customer service, there are plenty of reasons to smile! read more

Bowling in league here is embarrassing. The lanes are broken down... many gutters have holes or cracks and they have been this way for years. Many lanes have chips or actual missing pieces of wood. The ceiling tiles are stained and are in desperate need of repair. After being in a league here for 4 years, the bathrooms only get worse. No water pressure and just in complete need of updating. The bars are are broken down and not equipped for leagues. Stale soda and tonic, flat cola's and no draft beer at one bar since the draft system has been broken for years. With a little investment back into this business it could be a great place for families, leagues and fun. It's in good location. I will say it is a much better value than most other alleys. Much less expensive than PinStripes or Brunswick Zone read more

Bowling alley is fine but the staff is rude and borderline racist. I have come here on two separate occasions and was treated poorly. This is a place I should be able to come with my family and have a good time. Definitely won't be coming back due to their poor service. read more

Great family outing. We took our boys on a Sunday evening for some good o'l family fun. This is a family owned business that considerably cares about their establishment. We got our shoes and rented our lane, the guy at the counter recommended paying per game instead of purchasing three..no up sales or scamming here-LIKE. The same gentleman brought both my boys 6 lbs balls to use instead of us squandering for them. We ordered some food and the cook actually came out to ask my husband and I what we wanted on our burgers...Wow. The same cook brought us our food and asked to clear our table after as well, we tipped him for his generous service. Well, that kid took care of us when we utilized the arcade area. The recommendations, the bathrooms are freezing! The arcade is a typical play at your own risk, but they have an Air Hockey table-Bonus! I recommend this place without reserve to any family for a great outing. Teenagers alike seem to enjoy this establishment but management does not allow them to get out of hand :-) ENJOY read more

Pretty cool place to hang out and bowl! The people there are nice, love the service that I get! The food is AMAZING! I had a sandwich there, and it was dead on perfect. I just wish everyone can make a sandwich that good! I do wish that they could re-model the place. The computers can be glitchy once in a while. Don`t like the fact that they step on the lanes when there`s a problem.. Messes up the ball directions, ya know? Good price for a game! I always buy 3 games and get 1 more game for free! Overall, I`m very satisfied! read more

This place has everything I want for a great bowling experience with friends. First, lots of ample free easy parking. Good food especially the hot fries and the grilled cheese. The new shoes are stylin and clean! Good prices. Nice upgrade for an old school alley. The rock ' n roll night is a blast too - we liked the tunes! read more

I have bowled here for at least 25 years. Management has changed, and some owners have changed. I have still always been satisfied with the alley, up until recently. The last several times I have had a horrific experience. I went with my brother who has autism, severe autism to say the least. The service provided by the manager and possible owner was despicable. This was not the first time he has treated him this way. He waits to prepare food that has been ordered, stalls as long as he can to put the bumpers in the lanes, and whenever he is asked for assistance he makes it very apparent that he is bothered. Other workers there are compassionate and willing to help wherever needed. I am extremely dissatisfied with treatment here as a paying customer, and will not be returning to Streamwood lanes. read more

The lanes constantly malfunctioned, and shut down completely on the third game, the customer service did not fix them or offer money back. Equipment is heavily worn, the balls are covered in gashes, the displays sometimes malfunctioned during the game. Would not recommend, your money is better spent elsewhere read more

The manager/owner with a toothless smile is a prick. The balls are warped and the lanes are raggedy. They refused to let us play because there weren't enough people when 10 people had just walked. We left and went somewhere else. Never going there again read more

Terrible! Went here with my boyfriend only to walk the hell out! Manager is a jerk off. Who tells costumers to basically leave because their time would be wasted. I'll tell you how to get rid of costumers! That's one way! No wonder why you have an empty lot and no costumers it's because your staff is so rude! Never coming back here again.!!! read more

Dated interior and machines, our lane crapped out on second frame. I wouldn't eat here even if you paid me. read more

Me and my girlfriend went in to shoot pool around 9 o'clock, the old mean balding manager told me he wasn't staying open for a 6.50 an hr pool table. Even though the website says they are open till 11. He was extremely rude and very unprofessional. It's a wonder how this place manages to stay open as there were no customers, ANYWHERE...Hmm. I wonder why. Maybe if the place was cleaner and if they had a management staff that was polite or actually knew wtf they were doing, they would be a great hangout. NEVER GOING BACK THERE...I would advise you all to do the same read more

We have taken kids here on field trips for the park district, and it's not too bad. The kids seemed to enjoy it. There's a game room, the lanes (that don't seem to be run-down) and the pro shop that is open until 8 on weekdays. My friends are in a league here on Thursdays nights, and they seem to have a good time. The prices for the concessions don't seem too bad! read more

Came here again thinking it would have improved since i was there the last time but the employees still looked sad and depressed . Like At least fake smile when kids are around . And it causes some people or at-least me to kinda ruin my mood. Like C'mon is not that hard to smile.Oh and the arcade ‍ it looks like it was left there without being touch for years and some of the machines don't even work . And dust everywhere you look ugh and the bathrooms don't even get me started. read more

Prices for bowling is good compared to other places. BUT.... 1. The girl's bathroom was nasty. Only two stalls, one with no toilet paper and the other had feces smeared in the basin. 2. Prices for drinks are over priced. They put so little alcohol in your mixed drinks that you can't even taste it. WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN! read more

Come here every now and then and play pool, and bowl. Bowling prices are cheap, and pool is by hour not by game. I get the fries and they're always made to order! Their food is standard bowling/bar food so nothing crazy. Place needs a huge renovation, old carpets, old and limited arcade games, outdated seats/color schemes, pool tables with holes, rips, and scuffs. Not a bad place to hang out but wish they improved their spot a little more read more

I LOVE Joshua I think he works the food shop. he is the nicest young man I have met in awhile, usually when I go to places like this young teens aren't very nice but he's sweet. I also like Scott! We were having trouble with the balls getting stuck and he was so sweet about helping us a lot, very great personalities that work here! I like this bowling alley. I'll be here more often. read more

First time here in many years... 3 staff guys, 2 were great, the 3rd (owner) complete dbag.. I never make reviews but had such a horrible experience. He was rude everytime i went to him.. He shut the lane off twice in the 10th frame, which ruined our score. At the end of the last game, shut off again and my balls were stuck and didnt comeback. He ordered his employee rudely to retrieve them. When i told him how rude he is, he ran in the office and avoided me. The lanes were to heavily oiled. Cosmic bowl sucks. I would not recommend going for many reasons, main one is the old man jerk who runs it... read more

Went to the bowling alley today with a group of 7 people by purchasing two Groupons. One was for 6 people unlimited games for two hours. The other was for one person and two gamesCalled ahead and advised the situation. Was told each lane seats 5 people and we should come and ask for two lanes. We did exactly this and waited 40 minutes (which was not that bad). Our two lanes were available and we checked in and showed our Groupon. The man behind the counter was EXTREMELY rude and not customer service oriented. Was told that one Groupon per lane. So we had one person bowling separately. Once the two games were completed for our single bowler the lane was not used as ALL. It would not hurt not lose the bowling alley nothing financially to allow us to split the lanes equally. In fact, it would have accomplished exactly what the Groupon is for: to have returned business. We will never return due to the rudeness and lack of customer satisfaction. We would have purchased food and alcohol which would have brought in more revenue, but did not want to give them one more penny. Bad business decision on their part and should manage better. Even an employee stated they hate Groupons which explains the aggravation expressed during check in and distribution of our shoes. If you don't like Groupons don't do them. The alley is in bad shape, the shoes are very old and worn out, and the balls are all dinged up. Stay away and spend a little more to get a better experience. That's my advice. read more
