The door guy is hilarious! The staff was so kind and polite. Very kind and helpful !!!!!

The manage team is incredible! Great vibes, great drinks! What a blast I had with my friend

I took my small work team to bowl here after work. What was nice is that it was fairly empty on a weekday in the early evening. That being said, the service was pretty slow for food and drinks. The prices are truly astronomical for a non-peak time with a few small up-charges snuck in for food. I'm on the fence if it's worth coming again. The pool tables are better priced. read more

The Garage Billiards & Bowl - Bowling section around 5:30 PM on a Tuesday - Bowling Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Bowling alley arcade lounge in Seattle. String bowling experience was a bit different from what we're used to. If you are going bowling for a social activity it's ok but if you are a serious bowler this is not the spot. The balls have seen better days. The food was okay and the drink was tasty. Street parking only. read more

We were on a work trip and we had such a great time bowling as a team that we ended up going back again! The crew at the garage is very helpful and hospitable. We also appreciated how clean and well organized the environment was. Although the place was packed, it felt very relaxing. We'll be back again! read more

Went here with some friends. We wanted to play some pool, but the waitlist was long. So we opted for bowling while being on the waitlist for a pool table. By the time we were in our 2nd frame, a pool table opened up. We weren't able to get to it then so we continued to bowl. The bowling has strings on the pins if that is of a concern to any bowlers. I'm sure they don't grease the lanes so don't even bother curving and swerving your ball. After the 2nd game, we wrapped up and opted for pool. As I closed out, I did not realize how expensive it was. Shoes and 2 games for 5 people came out to $176. I didn't realize, but I added tip. So over $200 for string-pin bowling is insane. That's on me for tipping, but I'm not sure what that tip was for since it's the patrons bowling. Pool was fun and they had a lot of tables. read more

my favorite place for billiards just due to how many tables they have, such a sight to beholden they are the larger competition size tables, not your average small house/bar size so if you're serious about pool, this place works. pricing is of course expensive, I think HH runs about 14$/hr and regular hours at 19$(?). you can order food or drinks from your table so it's convenient. i'd suggest a bar with quarter slots for a casual hang but this is spacious for bigger parties read more

I definitely had a lot of fun here with my friends ! The place had an old-school feel, I felt I was back in the 80's! Table layout was pretty nice with plenty of room not to bump onto other people playing snooker! I do recommend this place to play pool, have a beer, and hangout! I think you'll have fun too! read more

Prior to visiting here ( per a local's recommendation ) around ~9:45pm on a Wednesday night, my girlfriend and I had walked in to inquire if they reserved lanes ahead of time as we explained our understanding that happy hour bowling would be starting around the time we finished drinking at the neighboring bar. The young lady at the front desk repeated our question back to us in a condescending way as if we were foolish to ask such a question, ultimately concluding the conversation by saying "I'm not sure what it is you're asking. If you want to come bowl after you're done next door it's first come first serve." After finishing our drinks and having ourselves a round of bowling, the same young lady rung up up to pay and, as if a light switch, became the most bubbly person within a 5 mile radius, proceeding to ask us how our visit has been to Seattle and laughing at our declarative statements back. A rather unpleasant experience this was. read more

Came here for a work bonding party on a Monday afternoon. This place is 21+ only and the first thing they do when you arrive is check your ID. They're also strict about no outside food and drinks. For 15 of us, 2 hours of bowling across 3 lanes, 2 drink tickets that included beer and wine, and an unlimited fajita bar, the cost was $1100. Our time started at 3 PM but we arrived a bit late. But we were able to quickly get our bowling shoes, and set up our games at our lanes and get to bowling! The workers disseminated our drink tickets and also set up the fajita bar. So the positives. The people serving us were incredibly nice and attentive. The fajita bar was smaller, but they had plenty of food for us (and we may have all pre eaten at salt and straw down the street). But the chicken was actually really well cooked and flavorful, so I was overall pleasantly surprised by the option! They also got peoples drinks very quickly. Soda was included for people who weren't into beer or wine. Because there were hard seltzers on the beer and wine menu, I asked it it was included but was told no. The worker did come back and offered to put syrup in carbonated water for me but I politely passed. The less great part comes from the bowling. In one of the lanes, the ball got stuck in the gutter in the middle of the lane 3 times. So someone had to be called or we had to wait for the ball to come back to us slowly. In another of the lanes, towards the 9th or 10th frame of each game, the pins just failed to reset and we had to wait as we watched someone manually reset the pins. This was mildly concerning just because we could only see the persons hands (they were behind the lane?) but there was no warning this was happening on our end, so it could have been mildly dangerous for them had we not been paying attention. And lastly, though we paid for two hours, they shut off our bowling around 4:50. Which, even with our correct booking time, is shorter than what we paid for. And especially with the steep price and the other issues with the lanes, seems questionable. Overall, if you're really into bowling, there are surely better places around for that. If you're coming to relax and spend time with people, then maybe it's worth it, especially if you take advantage of the pool tables or the games off to the side, which some people in my group did later in the evening. read more

Decent bowling place. It would not disappoint. Not the best. Ambience: 3.5/5 (Very old) Equipment : 3.5/5 (Very old) Location: 4/5 (Close to Seattle downtown) Food was surprisingly good. The hummus dips were great. Must try. Chicken pizza was very tasty. Veg rolls were nice. Chicken on the stick was not well cooked. read more

Garage is a retro-cool entertainment hub in Seattle that nails the immersive fun factor. The blacklight bowling, pool tables, and arcade create a lively, nostalgic vibe perfect for groups. Food and drinks are surprisingly solid for a venue of this type -- handcrafted, not an afterthough read more

The lanes, the little bowling two person tables, the arcade games on the main floor are all fabuosly kept in tiptop shap.. they feature mostly skill-based and driving games. It feels like what "chucks arcade) the chuckee cheese reboot) is going for. Now if they would only contact me to supply,create and run my "80s retro arcade games A.C.E.S.

Made reservations for Halloween night, something to get us started before we headed out on the town. There's even pinball and billiards! In a great location and the staff took great care of us. We'll be back! read more

I always have a good time here. I've come with coworkers, family and friends so far and it's always a hit. You can choose from arcade games, bowling, pool, and jenga. They have the usual bar type foods: wings, nachos, etc. I enjoy the cocktails, they're pretty fun but most people could probably use an extra shot in them . Nonetheless, I always enjoy one or two. Service is always friendly and efficient. read more

A place to play pool or bowl for 21+ only! It's THE place for entertainment in Capitol Hill at reasonable prices. Its a HUGE place and they have seating areas if you just want to get food too. Staff was really friendly and they keep the place pretty clean. My only comment is that it's busy literally all times of the day, every day of the week. A good place for a party but not if you value your personal space. read more

I went bowling on a weekday around 9 PM without a reservation and there were still a couple lanes available. I will say though, they didn't have more than 8 lanes, so if you want to pull up on a weekend, you should probably try to call ahead. There's limited street parking available outside, but I definitely wouldn't count on it. We opted for the unlimited bowling, which pays for itself after 2 games. It ended up being 24 bucks including shoes and everything felt clean. Only critique of the bowling was the animations could have been more unhinged. I didn't try any of the food, but I did order the 22 oz cocktails and THEY ARE DELICIOUS. Maybe not the most, most boozy, but both the Boozy Blue Long Island and the Berried Alive Lemonade were scrumptious and even after sharing them across 90-ish minutes, I was definitely buzzed. Overall, good vibes and good times if you're in the area. read more

This jam-packed place is filled with many things to do. There is an arcade, pool tables, bowling, and a bar. We started off playing pool before getting into our bowling lane. We got the unlimited game pass, which cost about $5 more than a regular one-game and shoe rental pass. When I called ahead to make a reservation, all the bowling lanes were booked until late at night, so I would try to plan ahead if you are trying to come here to bowl. We stayed until just about closing and had a blast. I definitely would recommend coming here for a fun time. My only gripe is that certain parts of the building smell very bad. However, it probably has to do with how many people were using the facilities and how late it was in the day. read more

We came for the bowling and had a great time. It was about a 90 min wait for one lane and 5 people. We walked to one of the many breweries nearby for a drink while we waited. They have food and drinks. You can order from the staff that come by or the screen. The bowling was very fun. Great setup and good service. They have a bar/restaurant and pool tables in the space attached. We'll definitely be back. read more

This place basically have everything you can think of for fun! Bowling, billiards, ping pong, arcade and food! (probably there are more that I haven't noticed!) A perfect place for team event or just hanging out with friends. I would recommend getting reservations because this place is busy. I came here with 6 friend together on a Wednesday evening at 8:30pm and there are many bowling lanes were taken by team events or family (so reserve before you go!). The garage has two floors and I think they at least have 10 bowling lanes. Drinks and food can be easily ordered through the tablet next to the couch and the server brings over the food/drinks to you. We played bowling for two hours, then we played arcade. They have pinball, Mario cart, piu dance and more! We had so much fun here and we definitely will come back again! All the staff members I encountered that night was very helpful and nice. read more

We decided to go bowling at this place and the entrance was a little confusing LOL. We first got a few drinks and shots outside in the bar area. I think I tried the Boarding Pass, which is Bacardi coconut rum, watermelon infusion, pineapple juice, and lemon-lime soda. Their drinks are strong and this one came in a cute mason mug. The wait for bowling was too long, so we decided to shoot pool instead. There was a little wait, but it wasn't too bad. This place was really fun and there were lots of people there. Great place if you're looking for something fun to do, besides hanging out at a bar. read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Garage was open. I have had so many great nights here with my friends before the pandemic hit. Garage has plenty of pool tables open, and another room with bowling lanes, as well as another room with just a bar and open area to hang out. I am so happy Garage is open and they are making it extremely safe for everyone! Everything is spaced out well and it's great to have a place to hangout again that's not just in front of my TV! I do suggest coming a little earlier since on the weekends they can fill up pretty quick! read more

Didn't come here for the food but it was a great place to meet up with friends and play pool! It's actually quite a huge space with the outdoor area, pool area, arcade, and even bowling area. We did come around rush and had to wait for a table but honestly 30 mins is no time at all as you explore this place. We came right as the newly renovated arcade was open and I loved the basketball game they had. It's easy to swipe your points but it's a great way to pass the time or if you just want to grab drinks have a bar in the area as well. They don't have the most selection in drinks but you can get your pitchers of standard beer. Overall, the price point per hour wasn't bad at all. I think it ~$20ish. The only thing and why I docked a star was the proximity of other tables to you. Sometimes we found ourselves overlapping with the other tables. read more

Super awesome spot to spend a night out at in Seattle. Food and drinks are reasonably priced, the place is clean, especially for a bowling alley/bar, and the staff is great! The only thing they're missing are some funny animations for your strikes/spares etc. but other than that you can't go wrong with a night at the Garage. Also huge shout out to Anne, we came in with group of 8 friends and she was able to help us out and get us on lanes next to each other on a busy night right away! Will definitely be coming back with more friends read more

Honestly disappointed. This place has so much potential, but the service completely ruins the experience. We waited over 45 minutes just to get a pool table despite being told it would only take 15. The staff seemed overwhelmed and uninterested -- barely acknowledged us the whole night. Drinks were overpriced and weak, and the food took forever to come out (cold when it finally did). On top of that, the vibe just felt off -- like a frat party mixed with a bowling alley from 2005. Not coming back anytime soon read more

Been coming to this bar late at night for years to play pool. Todays service sucked. We walked in to the front bar by the pool tables 2 minutes after entering the building, and the blonde bartender Jaime cut us off immediately, stating "our eyes were bloodshot" and "someone stumbled". She had not even looked at us, and we hadn't interacted at all before this moment. We also had not drunk anything at all up to this point, this was our first and only stop of the evening. Baffled, bummed, and won't be returning. 0 Stars. read more
