Crest Hill Bowling Lanes & Kegler’s Bar and Grill

Decided to check this bowling alley out on a Saturday night. It was much smaller than expected but we were able to get a lane without a wait… so we thought. My date and I head over to our lane and start entering in our names and another patron starts obnoxiously yelling at us saying that was his lane. We didn’t want to argue and the owner was nice enough to give us our money back and put us on another lane when the next one opened back up. At least we were able to head to the bar connected to the bowling alley and grab a drink while we waited. I just wish that unnecessary drama hadn’t occurred. The crowd was pretty obnoxious overall. The bowling balls also are not very good and made it difficult to bowl. I do like the cosmic bowling here though and that the whole room is dark and cool lights! I probably won’t return after my experience unless it was pretty empty.

I’ve been to bowling alleys all over the place. This one has plenty of lanes and a small bar and concession stand with great food and drinks. the icing on top of the cake, though is the fact that it’s connected to a large bar with a dance floor/​dj and slot machines. it has it all tucked nicely into one large building. You never need to step outside other than to smoke.

I came here yesterday I called ahead to make sure my family could bowl the lady said they have open bowl till 10. When I arrived I was told there was a party coming in and they were gunna use all the lanes. I told them I even called ahead they said «after you call the bowling ally you have to ask for the bowling ally because not all of their employees know what is going on». If that’s the case why are they answering the phone? This is twice I have been here and havent bowled yet maybe next time I’ll get to bowl.

I came here to treat my brother and his family to lunch and some bowling. The bowling alley isn’t huge but we have no problem getting 2 lanes in an area that we weren’t being bothered. The owner was also pleasantly friendly and accommodating to the my brothers kids.
The sports bar is quite big and has a huge rectangular bar right in the middle with plenty seating and tv’s. Since is was quite chilly out, it was pleasant to walk into the bar to feel the heat was on full blast. Actually a few trips to the bar and I was almost sweating due to how hot it was. They definitely could have turned it down a bit. And that is big coming from someone that is almost always cold. The bartender was very sweet and jumped to my orders quickly and with a smile.
I ordered the sampler platter and some pizza for our group. The sampler was okay but they definitely gave a huge portion of fried mushrooms and smaller portions of everything else. Now there is definitely better pizza to eat around Crest Hill but the cheese tasted fresh and the toppings were bountiful. The only issue was that the sauce just didn’t fit my liking. It still ate it though and it was fine.
It’s fair to say that I really enjoyed my time here and hospitality of the staff.

the place is super crowded! The people were all very friendly & their bar is pretty big. I think I need to look into more of their specials, as I thought it was a bit pricy the time we went there. I used to go to other bowling alleys & THIS one was the most expensive thus far. We plan on going again to see if we get better deals!

A huge sports bar with TVs all over the place. The food is very good and priced just right… and you get a large portion as well so it is great for those with a big appetite. Pizza and wings are my favs!

They also have DJ/​Karaōke on Friday nights, and live entertainment on Saturday night with some great local bands.
They also have several dart machines, and down stairs they have pool tabels., and of course the bowling alley is through the doors.
