Review from Shannon R.
Dallas, TX
Allen Bowl isn't too big or too small. You can drink your pitcher and not have to hike 1/2 mile across the place to hit the bathroom. Everything is right there without having to maneuver through a crowd. Short lines, friendly staff and the ball return is super fast so you're not wasting half your time waiting to roll!
Shannon "Shot Gun Shot Shannanigans" R. gives it a BIG 5 Stars!! -

I think the reviews are rather harsh. As bowling continues to die a long slow death, this rare mom and popper bowling roadside wunderkind survives.
The Friday night glow bowling is fun-tastic, the intimate alley makes for fun with friends. The food service is poor and poky, the game room dated and worn, but the lanes are solid and fun.
And I like supporting a local business. -

Pros:
- convenient if you live in Allen (which I do not)
- non-smoking
- grill and bar with happy hour specials
- pool tables
- bowling specials (by the game and lane)
Cons:
- older alley with older equipment
- limited selection / availability of bowling balls (biggest issue)
- have to share the ball return carousel with the lane next door
Overall: I enjoy dive local joints (like Dart Bowl in Austin) but Allen Bowl is a pass for me. Pricing is comparable to one of the newer chain alleys, so I'd rather spend money elsewhere. They tout their "Glow Bowling" with all these special effects, but it wasn't very impressive (think just black lighting). It's $15 per person per lane for a couple hours before closing time. -

Blah...is what I have to say..Unfortunately-never take your kids or yourself for that matter.Extremely country-poor customer service,limited service on ball return,nervous about the kitchen and smokey each time I've visited.Go to AMF or one of the other newer alleys.
