Luxury Lanes & Lounge

I haven’t bowled in over 20 years. Seems like a reasonable day date, so I called around and Luxury, as well as most, have plenty of open bowling during the summery.
We stopped in and I immediately ported back to the 1980’s. The colors and smell were everything I remember about bowling as a kid.
We paid 2.75 a game and 2.50 for shoes. I’m not sure if this is the going rate but it does’t seem too bad.
The place has standard smaller bar with cheap and expensive beers and snack bar with unhealthy snacks like fries and pizza.
My only complaint is that it is very hot inside. I guess if you aren’t busy, turning the air conditioning on is probably costly. Overall, we had a good time and would consider going back.

What can I say about this place?
Great sign, lots of open bowling, cheap beer, just a great hangout spot.
You’re not going to be playing any professional tournaments here but who cares?
Go out and have fun!

I found this bowling ally on Unilocal and from the reviews I thought it would be great to go. We met our fiends there and I love the place. Very friendly staff, you get nice shoes to rent, the pizza is good and the bathrooms are immaculate. I’m always worried about public restrooms, but the women’s is clean and even smells nice. I would highly recommend this for families and small gatherings. They even have a full bar!

Friendly place with a great bar. I played in a league here for about a year, it was fun and affordable. Lanes are in great shape and well oiled compared to other places in the area. Only problems I had with the place were the lack of air conditioning on hot days and a few grouchy old ladies in other leagues (they hate loud music and fun).

Full bar, food, cheap open bowl, convenient parking, and pretty much had the lanes to ourselves for half of the time we were there. I’ve passed by this place at least a hundred times on my way to downtown Ferndale and never went in, but I am glad I finally did!

As far as relaxed family owned type businesses go, this is a great bowling alley. None of the lame emagine crowd (Royal Oak), friendly and accommodating service, and a generally relaxed atmosphere. As a bonus, they also have really great pizza and reasonable prices on beer (as well as a full bar).

My family had searched high and low
for a place for the wedding rehearsal dinner to go.
We wanted fun and low-​key
and food a-​plenty;
Luxury Lanes really put on a show!
The owner, Paul, is a winner.
So was the food for the dinner:
superb pizza and wings,
plus freshly grilled things,
not to mention dessert pizzas for the sinners :)
Luxury Lanes is what bowling should be —
well-​lit and clean, and very family-​friendly.
The beers were quite cheap
(and we got a signed pin to keep!)
We could not have been more happy.

We come here a lot. It’s older and usually not super crowded. Mixed crowd of hipsters, teens and plain olé regular people. You can also get a coupon for ½ off games on their website. I just wish the music was better.

I was looking for something fun to do with my 4 year old daughter over the weekend. My requirements was that it was 1. close to home. 2. Air conditioned. 3. inexpensive. Luxury Lanes fit the bill.
The owner was friendly and helpful. The parking was free. It wasn’t crowded (we practically had the place to ourselves). 2 games of bowling each, for $ 12. Can’t beat that.
When we left, the owner gave us 2 free passes to come back and bowl. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Pretty much exactly what Chub M. said… but I think the price for lanes is more than reasonable. Definitely more reasonable than the place we were going to go in Royal Oak (Sixty dollars for a lane for an hour?! Pllllttttt!)
Free shoe rental because it was Superbowl Sunday when we went too. Bam shazzam!

Free parking, great friendly service, not too busy or loud, and the prices for lanes is reasonable.

This was my first time at a bowling alley in 10 years and I had the best time today. I can’t wait to go back again. It turns out the owner shares the same birthday as I do and he gave me my beer on the house. He’s a down-​to-​Earth really nice guy. I told him this was my first time here and that I’d checked it out on the internet beforehand. There are before and after pictures and the photos don’t do it justice. It’s really nice, fresh and new. I think the flash on the camera makes the pictures look harsh. In real life it’s a very cozy and inviting.

This place was fun but just ok. They have coupons on their website and we took the time to print them off and bring them (for one free game) but they actually have a stack at the front desk so save your ink! Otherwise games were $ 3.50 with shoes at $ 2.50 if memory serves me right. We had some drinks from the bar, which were reasonably priced, $ 4 for mixed drinks and $ 3 for beer. Beer selection was awful, but that’s fairly par for the course at bowling alleys. Both of the taps were out, too (not that we would have wanted what was in them). The bartender was very nice though.
We went on a Saturday for cosmic bowling. They don’t have a juke box like I’ve seen at other bowling alleys but the music playing was a good selection of hits/​favorites and had us dancing between turns. One thing that really bothered me was the arrangement of seating. They have the tables/​chairs really far away from the lanes, so to take your turn you have to walk over, down some stairs, and then get your ball. Every time. And the chairs are attached to the tables so you can’t move them closer. This means you can’t really converse or cheer on your bowling partner (s) since you’re so far away when they’re taking their turn, which isn’t very fun.
There also weren’t seats at the score terminal (where you enter the players names, etc.) Kind of awkward. We ended up sitting on the floor on the steps so we could actually hear each other while we bowled, which was not too comfy. Lastly, I thought the shoes weren’t very comfortable, they were pretty stiff which I suppose might mean they’re new… which isn’t so bad.
I’d come back just because they’re conveniently located but there’s nothing that really stands out about this place.

I’ve lived in Ferndale for 5(?) years now and had only been to Luxury Lanes once years ago. It’s pretty small– so pre-​smoking ban it was stinktastic. The other evening, me and my fella decided to have a night to ourselves that didn’t center around sitting at a bar drinking. Solution? Bowl and drink, play pool and drink, watch a movie and drink, have dinner and drink– You get the idea!
We decided to check out Luxury Lanes after hearing it had been remodeled post-​smoking ban. Not too shabby Luxury Lanes! We had a splendid time bowling (and some fantastic beverages from the bar as well). Dare I say, it almost smelled good in the bowling alley! I also bowled one of my best games ever. (It was like a 98… I’m sure you are laughing at me now, but I don’t care) We’ll be back Luxury Lanes — and I can’t wait to come back once my little guy is old enough to carry a bowling ball for some sweet bumper bowling. (I could use those bumpers myself!)
Just a note — every few frames a green pin will pop up — Get a strike with the green pin, and get 1 free game. (Make sure you notify the attendant working.)

A great place to take kids. They are really reasonable prices for bowling. And you can always find a coupon on their website. The staff is amazing!!! They are so friendly and it is a joy to go there. They offer kid birthday parties and cool DVD’s for each kid. They are remodeling the place right now and I can see the difference. The owner wanted to change it up and they are now non-​smoking so it well be a fresh start for them. I drive past 4 different bowling alley just to come to Luxury Lanes. I have not been bowling in the evening, but they have a variety of leagues and promos.
I would put this on the to-​do list if you are near Ferndale.
Note: They have a full bar and pretty good food. The nachos and cheese are a fav.

luxury lanes is a classy bowling alley. if that statement is even allowed. its everything i believe a bowling alley should be. it has the kitchy feel to it that you’re being transported back to the heyday of bowling. real wood lanes. brightly colored inside with a nice sized bar. its small so you don’t feel like you’re bowling in space. the bartender is seriously awesome. she’s this grizzled old ex-​smoker that loves a good cocktail and some gossip. they have pretty cheap prices for lane usage.
love, juston
