Reviews of Bay View Bowl

Will Washkuhn (willwaukee)

This isn't a great place if you're uptight or take your bowling score too seriously. But Bay View bowl is a neat little place to throw some boulders and drink a pitcher or two. The machines are...Quirky. The shoes are well-worn. But there's lots of fun to be had. Recommend.

Rick Leonard

Nice, small place. There used to be little bowling alleys everywhere and I'm glad this place survived. Good place to grab a beer, watch a game, and give the kids quarters to play games

Chad Matzen

Ok lanes, but dirty. Decent damage to my ball. Food isn't great, but ok beer selection.

Marialinda Jimenez

My favorite place to bowl when it's not crowded. It's pretty cheap and the atmosphere is cool. Perfect layout. There is a bar area. They also have a pool table and darts. And little extra claw machines a photo booth and a punching bag thingy. I always have a good time here.

Stephen Chilcote

Nice environment very friendly people there had real fun bowling

Natasha Christian

Every time a family member have a birthday we always go here and we always enjoy ourselves and have such fun yes we will be returning again just not for birthday parties but to just bowl and have fun you always need some good interesting people I love Bayview bowling

Curt Naegeli

Don't play pool on the second table. The slate is broken all across the middle and the cue ball doesn't go to the kitchen.

Caroline Cavalcante

Amazing old school bowling lanes. And amazing deal on Sunday's. This place is always a good time but can get pretty busy. Highly recommend this for an authentic Milwaukee bowling experience.

Justin Kasdorf

I come here on Sunday’s for 1/2 price bowl. It’s extremely affordable and a lot of fun. The bowling balls are in pretty bad shape, but they do the trick. There is an arcade here as well, which also keeps kids and adults entertained. This is an old school bowling ally. It reminds me of when I was a kid. The staff have always been friendly and helpful with me. My friends always have a great time when I take them here. The reason I give it 4 stars is because I’ve left a message to reserve a lane a couple times and never got a call back. I expect a return phone call when I am asking to take my business there. Other than that one issue, everything else has always been great.

Bryan Sternig

Bayview bowl. This place is awesome. Like I would love to go on about how great the staff, bar, lanes are but just trust me. Best alley in mil during the summer.

Schmuel

Cheap beer, good music, lanes are usually well-oiled and ball return/pin machines work without problems. Call ahead to make sure there aren’t leagues. Sundays have deals. Classic bar and bowl. What more could you ask for?

Timothy McCormick

Staff was friendly and helpful (we don't bowl often - we really needed some help). The people in the next lane were really friendly and wanted us to meet them next week, lots of cross lane cheers for good rolls! The 2$ game & 2$ shoe rental special on Sundays is like a broken drum...you just can't beat it! I wish I lived closer 😭

Elijah Polar

The girlfriend and I stopped in tonight after some Mitten Fest festivities. We arrived a little after 5pm and it was reallllly busy, however the bartenders were super attentive and fun (Jess and Collin I think were their names??). My girl is very particular about her old fashioneds and it was made to perfection. Overall a great experience, we’ll be back soon!

Cody

Love this place I've been coming here since I was a teen that makes 15 years of patronizing and never had a bad experience with any of the staff.

Suzannah Dunckel

Great place! Great STRONG drinks. Owner is super cool and got us bowling quick even tho they were packed.

Maureen Brock

Loved it for sure. Good pizza, decent prices and a lot of fun. We went on a Friday night, didn't have to wait for a a lane, bought pitchers of Flying Dog beer for $11 a pitcher. Great fun, friendly staff, chill atmosphere, definitely recommend.

Cody Andrews

Lanes are ok. It feels old, but not in a charming way. It could use a deep cleaning. Food was gross and there weren't many beers to choose from. Staff was nice. I'd still definitely come back.

Gerald Frank

I'm not a fingertip bowler. So, I have no hook. But, where ever I seemed to place the ball, it seemed to have a good effect. Consistently bowled an average 138 with straight rolls pushing a 17.2 mph average roll using a 13 pound alley ball. Bartenders seem cool and clean bathroom.

leinad enasnii lord

Bayview bowling was the best play food have fun people as nice and joy wasn't crowded and people was wearing a mask if you got a girl and y'all want to have a quiet time just enjoy yourself Just the Two of y'all doing live bowling play Elder Dodge pool get your drink on go to Bayview Bowl is work to trip you can enjoy yourself and have fun at the same time

Bobby Keith

Great, local bowling alley. You can always get a seat at the bar and the Bloody Mary's are fantastic. Nice selection of macro and micro brews on tap. as well. Great place for Packer games, as well.

Tesla Lockwood

Cheap bowling, pool, and beer. 2/2/2 Sundays are great to maximize on the cheapness. They are crazy busy on Saturday night.

robert L

Soooo....my gf Sue (C) and I stopped by there today. Used to go there YEARS ago. I gotta say, this place rocks!!! I used to bowl with the owner about 50 years ago at Red Carpet, so it figures he'd buy his own alley. Lol. Anyway, we were met by a great bartender, the place is way cool with colored lights, super clean, and being a pinstriper airbrush artist for 45 years, I was even impressed with the ol school style paintings on the wall. The place reeks of Bay View tradition! HIGHLY RECOMMEDED😀

Asia Carr

Fun affordable and kid friendly

Melissa Villa Hovde

I enjoyed there great services there and great price to pay for bowling. I went with my family has outing it has glow dark bowling is very interesting also when you bowl and get yellow pin in middle let the guy know so he can watch you bowl if get strike you get chance to spin a wheel win a prize.

Chandler Blomquist

Nice atmosphere with great prices

Chasity R

We had so much fun at Bay View Bowl! It is on the smaller and the Older side but the staff is friendly and you can't beat $2 Sundays. We will definitely return.

M

First time here and was actually a lot of fun. Wasn't your normal bowling alley. Made me feel like a kid again but also in an adult atmosphere. Very fun place to go to.

Michael Siebenlist

They staff is awesome for the most part. The guys at the counter are always helpful and most of the bar staff is helpful as well. It I'd great for parties, bowling (obviously), and even just a night out on the town.

Diana Rodriguez

Celebrated a 16 year olds birthday today on Halloween 🎃 …

Kristin Nehmer

Everyone was very kind and patient with my not so well behaved twin toddlers. Pizza was good, bowling was fun, even the shoes were comfortable! 🤣 …

Julie Green

Good place for a cheap night out. Balls & pool tables are in pretty bad shape but lanes were good. Very 1979 feeling. Sunday's are $2 a lane.

Autumn Leonard

Nice enough alley for casual bowling. Decent prices, fun glow-bowling, and clean house. The shoes are pretty slippery, so be careful!

Mark Mueller

Fun atmosphere for bowling. Went on a busy Saturday night, bartenders were on the slow side, but got to you. My only complaint was one of my Jack and Cokes was very weak.

M T (MT)

Classic old school bowling alley. Friendly service and great drinks at the bar. Would we go back? Yep.

Jean Waid

Better since it was cleaned up. Not sure if the ball return was fixed. I had gouges on my brand new ball. They tried to buff out the scratches.

Heidi G

Back in October 2016 I hosted a holloween bday party for my hubby. Great night! Great bowling. Allowed me to bring in food and snacks.

M Martinz
