Beech Grove Bowl

If you’re looking for some awesome family fun in the Beech Grove area that has good food and great prices, Beech Grove Bowl is your place.
We had come here and there, but lately we’ve been coming more often because we’ve been really enjoying ourselves. We have gotten familiar with a couple of the staff and they know what we want to order when we come in (2-​large pepperoni and bacon cheese fries… hmmm delicious).
They are open 24-​hours. Rain or shine… even on the holidays. I love that because when our children are out of school, we have something to do (not sure if the staff enjoys it but…). I think this is the only 24-​hour bowling alley in the city and its less than 10 mins from where we live so very convenient.
They have a few «loyalty» programs sort of speak. You can sign up to be a member. As a meaner you save money per game. They also have their own phone app where you can check on daily specials, the menu and things that are going on at the alley. They have a rewards program for every large pizza you buy you get a stamp and after 5 – 6 stamps you get a free pizza. And the pizzas are delicious and straight forward. The burgers are good. I love my burgers with all the fixin’s (lettuce tomato onion) and although Beech Grives only come with choice of bacon, cheese and pickles; they are quite delicious.
There’s youth programs to sign up for for the summer; different special events that they advertise so there’s something for everyone.
Grab the family go check them out. This place is a great way to create memories with breaking the bank.

So much fun for a date or family night. Fun bowling and Touchtunes to set the music. Calzones are out of this world! There is some type of sorcery at work when the calzones are made because they are by far the best I’ve ever had. The s’more’s peanut butter pizza is a fun and delicious treat as well. We love Beech Grove Bowl!

Whoa! Talk about Beech Grove’s biggest secret. My best friends had heard about this place when they had out-​of-​towners looking for some activity in Indianapolis at 3 in the mornin. Insert Indy’s only 24-​hour bowling alley (correct me if I’m wrong but pretty sure it’s the only one…)
So I had to check it out. They literally only have 12 lanes, a handful of arcade games, and a 24-​hour kitchen to fulfill your snacking needs! A tad pricey, for 2 games and shoes for 4 people cost $ 50! Maybe I haven’t gone bowling in a while, but berk in mer der… Anywho, it was a lot of fun! You can check out the video replay of your turn at the pins.
And the biggest surprise at the end of the night, (after a boys vs. girls battle, girls winning and boys having to buy the winner their choice of food…) THE PEANUT BUTTER, REESE PIECES AND BACON DESSERT PIZZA. You’re like WHAAAAT? And I’m like AHHHHHH !!! Where has this been all my life?!
Seriously, with surprised left and right, I could’ve sworn I was on a roller coaster. Just fantastic customer service, the guys were a hoot and the atmosphere was chill. Can’t wait to go back!

It’s not anything special and kind of a grungy, older bowling alley but that’s part of its charm! It’s like The Alley Cat of bowling alleys; small, worn, and filled with things you’ll think twice before touching but not to the point of disgust. Their prices are low, on food and bowling, especially if you bowl we’d and Thursday when everything is $ 2! They actually have a large food menu too!

Great place with great people. I love their pizza, you gotta try the mega pepperoni. What more could you want!

If you feel like bowling, you can always count on Beech Grove Bowl to be there for you. Have yet to try the pizza, but the beers are cold and the whole experience is very affordable. Fun place and nice people around.

This is not a full review because I stopped in to bowl a couple games to kill time while my dog was at the vet a few blocks away. I was the only person there besides the guy at the counter so I didn’t really get the full experience with a packed house.
I appreciate that the whole house is non-​smoking.
I can’t believe it’s open 24 hours. There must not be a lot to do in Beech Grove at 2 AM if they can afford to stay open all the time.
I’ve heard the pizza is pretty good here so I’ll have to come back and try it sometime.
Warning: Bowler-​speak ahead!
The lanes are extremely slick and go long, so come prepared. You may need to bake your ball (or buy a new one) to get any kind of back-​end reaction.

I like this place, the graphics on the video screens after your bowl are hilariously creepy. Around $ 3 a game, but I bring my own shoes and ball (nerd alert!), so that cuts the cost for me. Apparently I average around a 16mph throw, so those pins are totally hurting. BOOM!@#

Just nasty, horrible management and horrible customers

Personally, I love Beech Grove Bowl. I have been coming here for years and am a platinum member of their bowling club. If you love to bowl, definitely join their bowler’s appreciation club because it gives you discounts on games the more that you bowl. The alley is small with only 12 lanes, but you can definitely bowl a good game here. The food is good. Get a pizza, it’s the best. The music is jukebox only, but there are a ton of choices. And it’s open 24 hours so the later you go, the cheaper it can be. If you smoke, this is the place to go because it is one of the only bowling alleys that you can smoke at. And while you can’t get liquor or pitchers, you can still get beer. All in all, well worth it.

First of all, 24 hour bowling. Who hasn’t wanted to call it a night but couldn’t think of anything else except maybe hitting Denny’s? Now you can go and bowl, order food (I really like the sloppy joe pizza) and trash talk your friends. Beech Grove has a real old school lanes feel, with some old arcade games and a pro shop. I don’t like the smoking– even when you’re by yourself, you still come out smelling like cigs– but that’s my only complaint. Whoot!
