Great place to bowl. I come here every weekend!…read more - - - CON: I came here tonight with the intention of using my Vicinity points. As I frequently come here, I expect the workers to know if the points system is up-to-date or not. If you do not know the points system works, maybe you need to be re-trained. The young boy at the counter was not sure of how the points worked or how to check if the system was updated. - - - I won't stop coming here, however, if I am unable to use the services because of an employee's lack of knowledge, then yes, that will bother me a bit.

There's no question this is sketchiest part of Ajax, but once you walk in and go down the stairs…read moreyou forget about what's outside. It was $45 for two pairs of shoes and a lane for one hour (I'm unclear if this amount included 4 shoes because two friends joined late and didn't have to pay for shoes). 5-pin bowling that is great for kids and adults. They have things to help young kids bowl where they can drop the ball down a little slide to make it easier. I think they do private parties as well. I don't think this place has seen much update since I was a kid, but it's just fine for a night out. The graphics on the bowling screen are really old - probably from the 2000s - but, it tracks your score. Family friendly, or for those looking for a little night out, this place can be enjoyed by anyone. There is a basic snack bar that serves bottles of beer, chips and things like that. Go check it out :)

Ready for some old school five pin?…read more This place is pretty hard to find. It's in the middle of a strip mall, with a teeny tiny sign, and you need to go into a door that leads to a stairwell that either goes up to doctors' offices, or down to the bowling. This is bowling as I remember as a kid. They still have the seats that are stuck to the tables but swivel out! There's also a snack bar serving pogos, chips, pop and booze. I think they also do glow in the dark bowling. The one staff person who was there was super nice and great. The shoes were regulation meh, but the place is clean. There are lockers you can rent and a water fountain. It seems that the level of enjoyment you'll get out of the place hinges on how good you are at it. I'm decent. It was a fun time, but the area is kind of sketchy.

Our bowling ball did get stuck a few times and they had to reset the pins but that didn't bother us too much. We didn't keep score as it was manual & I don't know enough to bother. It was fun just bowling away. I went with my niece and she had a ton of fun. It is not wheelchair accessible. You need to go down a narrow flight of stairs to get to the basement bowling alley.

Recently we and 3 other couples came for an afternoon of bowling. We were welcomed, shoes in our hands and on our lanes in minutes. Staff is courteous and friendly. The bowling alley itself is a little dated but for us that is part of the charm. we had a great time and will come back again.

I'm a bit surprised to see so many negative reviews for this place, as my experience here was…read moregreat. The staff went out of their way to make sure I had the best day ever here with my friends, and even gave me tips on how to better throw the bowling balls to get better accuracy in terms of hitting pins. The alley gives an overall old school vibe which is really cool, especially for those who want a more nostalgic vibe. I do agree that the prices for bowling here are a bit on the steep side ($45-55 or so for two hours I think, but don't quote me on it), especially when you consider that there are other bowling alleys that charge less for the same amount of time. However, I would definitely come back again if in the area.

We picked Ballroom Bowl Yorkville for a colleague's farewell on St. Patrick's Day... and somehow…read morewalked out with full stomachs, great memories, and goodies. Iconic behavior, honestly. Right from the start, the vibes were on point. We all kicked things off with Guinness (because how could you not on St. Paddy's?), and the fun surprise--they were giving out goodies to everyone ordering Guinness stout. Safe to say, we were easily influenced and happily so. Now to the actual review: this place is popular for a reason. It strikes that perfect balance between high-energy fun and laid-back hangout. You've got a full bar setup with TVs playing live games if that's your scene, and then the main attraction--bowling. With 6 lanes right in the heart of downtown, it's kind of impressive how well they've made the space work. It never felt chaotic, even with multiple groups playing. Food? Genuinely solid. And bonus points for having good vegetarian options (not just an afterthought menu either). Add in happy hour deals and daily discounted dishes, and suddenly you're staying way longer than planned--which is exactly what happened to us. We were a group of 7-8 people and ended up spending around 4 hours here without even noticing time fly. The music absolutely carried the energy through the night--fun, lively, but not overwhelming. Service was smooth, ambience was great, and overall it just worked for a group celebration. Honestly, I could see this place fitting any mood--date night, after-work hangout, birthdays, or even just going solo to bowl and soak in the vibe. Ballroom Bowl Yorkville? Easy 10/10. Would absolutely roll back again

We were scheduled for the first time slot shortly after they opened on a Saturday and had the entire place to ourselves. With an attendant who brought you to your lane from upstairs and grabbed your shoes to another who took care of food and drinks and gave them directly to you, the staff was beyond lovely. The lights, new school lanes that allow you to choose the way your scoreboard looks, and the delicious looking menu (we didn't partake because just simply weren't hungry), this place adds a modern twist on a classic activity that can be enjoyed with friends, family, or a partner.

If you like vintage bowling, this is up your alley…read more Park on the street, open the door and walk up the flight of stairs. Yeah - upstairs! Then step back in time. This is a no-frills experience, but it's reasonably priced, with amazing staff, and decent party package options. We rented a lane for about an hour, for a family gathering, with ages 4-74, and had a great time (even though several chairs were oddly sticky.) Our party package included pitchers of soft drinks, and surprisingly good pizza! You may bring your own fruit or veggie platter, since they don't offer veg options. Shoe rental is $3.00 and though the shoes are very worn, they did the job. Parish offers 5-pin bowling only, and you can choose cosmic or regular when you arrive. We didn't use the billiard or games room, but it's a cool option to extend your play day. We'd go back for a few more bowling games.

Can get unlimited time play (cannot earn tickets and some restricted games) or credit play. They do not recommend mixing them in one tag. The food options are not very good, but it is what it is. The pizza is very dry. The kids burger is big and my little one enjoyed it. Another option is just to eat elsewhere in the mall and buy more time play with no food. This location is in Fairview. Parking is insane. I have ordered earplugs for my little one for our next visit.

It took us roughly about 90 minutes to do two rounds which was the perfect amount for our group size. I really loved the fact that we were not required to rent bowling shoes.

So that begins our journey into one of the most sacred pastimes of Canadians. I really like this location as it is an authentic bowling experience, complete with insanely mandatory to wear shoes with holes in them, bowling alley fries and $4.50 domestic beers. Here at Pro Bowl, we came on a Saturday afternoon, and it was fairly empty and quiet. They have a new bowling system, with animations and bowling statistics (not that we want to know:)) that track your progress. I believe you can even have your scores emailed to you. This is a nice touch of modern tech within an old world environment. Who doesn't like to have cartoon bowling pins make fun of your endless gutter balls. The selection of balls is ok, unless you bring your own ball you have to try your luck with what they have. Be prepared to prepay for your time at the front. This is a common sense move to avoid folks who may 'forget' to pay at the front. So for the 6 of us including those famous shoe rentals, it was about $75 dollars for an hour and a half at 7:00pm. Not bad for a pretty good time and some friendly competition. Definately should check it out for some league action as I need more practice! -Zuk
