Howell Lanes

Firstly, to the person who wrote the extremely prejudiced review below… if you don’t like a business because it allows certain people in, don’t go there. You can’t give a business a bad review just because you are a racist doucher. Discrimination by businesses is against the law, read a book.
Anyway, I have been going to this place since I was a child, and it’s very dated, which adds to its charm. As with any bowling alley, it is going to be busy at peak times, so call ahead and reserve a lane if you think it might be an issue. A little planning goes a long way.
The bathrooms are somewhat questionable.
The bar and pool tables therein are usually alright. Good prices on bottles of beer, for a «bar».
I hope this place stays in Howell forever. We need more places like this, with long standing history within the community.

Came at 8 pm on a Saturday. They said 40 minutes wait. It’s been an hour and no movement on the list. Avoid this place!

Recently started bowling with a league there on Tuesday evenings.
The lanes are clean, and comfortable seating areas. Bathrooms are also clean.
Havent eaten there, as I eat dinner at home, so I cant comment on the food served in the snack bar.
I can comment on the pro shop– the service was great there. They were very helpful in getting me a new bowling ball, shoes and bag!

Nice bowling alley. Was here for the state tournament. Clean place, nice lanes. It is fairly spacious for bowlers and guest. But expect to pay a lot for the food if you eat there. 2 chicken fingers and fries for 7.50. The price is normal. But 2 fingers. Come on
I did not check the bowling prices. But this seems like it would a fun place to to hang out with the family.
I like this alley and will be back as a fun bowler. And thinking about a league here as well for the 2015 – 2016 season.

I’ve been coming to this bowling alley as long as I can remember. Actually, one time when I was a child my Dad did a 360 spin into the parking lot. Fun times. Anyway, I used to go every Saturday night on laser night with my cousin until he had Knee surgery. The DJ was really cool. (a pittsburgh steeler’s fan). Also gave out free games or $ 1, $ 2, $ 3 coupons. If a certain color pin drops down you have a chance at a free game. Certain times you get to use a really flashy bowling ball and roll for a $ 15 gift card. Anyway. I haven’t been to laser night in awhile but I did go last Friday. They updated there computers which confused me a little. I liked the old one better. But it’s like learning a new phone I guess. The spanish guy there is really cool. I don’t have an issue with any of the staff. OH. They do $ 1.50 game nights on Monday nights. This is a great bowling alley.

The bowling ally is kind of dated but it’s well maintained. We went at 12n on a Wednesday summer afternoon. For about an hour the place was crawling with camp kids which was annoying, but they left just as fast as they came. When you first enter you pay for your shoes only (not the games).For a party of six, we paid $ 24 for our shoes. Next, we were set up on two lanes and we bowled three games in a row (the games totaled to $ 50) You don’t pay for your games until the very end, so incase you want to keep playing you can without interruption. The absolute down fall to this place was the snack bar. The items were heavily priced and the snack bar (which looked like an attached diner) looked ran down & slightly unsanitary. So we settled for a few bottles of $ 2 snapples instead. For the most part, it was good clean family fun, even if it was a little pricey!

Reasonable prices, good equipment, and clean. They seem to be understaffed and, as a result, there’s no one to staff the bar or food counter … that may be due to the holiday.
Lots of kids, lots of laughter, and plenty of music and lights to distract anyone from noticing that I’m the King of Gutterballs!

Good crowd, dj spinning light-​metal favorites from the 80s and 90s, and a well maintained bowling alley all resulted in a good time for Primo and friends last night.
