Reviews of Koz's Mini Bowl

Ruben C

Super fun little bar. Definitely filled with gritty but down to earth characters. This place is not for the timid or those easily offended, which is likely why this bar has a super personality. The service is good, the drinks are strong and priced right.

Chantilly Mace

Love, love, love Koz's!!! It's really one of the best places this city has to offer. Everyone is welcome here and really takes you back to another time!

Megan Griffin

I adore this place! Call ahead to make a reso. Great spot to take anyone down for a good time. Pin setters are hilarious and interact with you as you play.

Davina Weber

I love this bar! We came all the way from Germany and Koz let me tap my own beer! Great atmosphere and the minibowl is so much fun! Thank you for a legendary night! We are definitely coming back!

Kyle Neely

One of the coolest bars I have ever been to. What’s not to like? Bowling, open play pool, and friendly bartenders.

John Albers

Wonderful place with kids that set the pins. Keep your own score not electronic. Nice place to bring a group of people.

Johnny McClanahan

I found this tavern on a list of unique bars in the USA. They have Mini bowling with four small lanes. There are human pinsetters to set up the small bowling pins. What a cool place to experience in Milwaukee.

John Lawler Jr.

We had a blast at this place. Justin is very friendly and makes you feel like you are a regular even if it is your first time visiting (which it was). We will definitely be back to do some more mini bowling.

Matthew Kerhin

My son had his birthday party here last week and Koz made all the 7 and 8 year old's feel really special, they all had a blast. My kid said it was the best birthday ever! Thank you!

Gary Lilla

Koz's is a must if you are in S. Milwaukee. Great time.

Keith Werner

What a fun place. The Duck pin Bowling was a blast and the people there were very friendly and very helpful in telling us the rules of the game. Will definitely go back and do the bowling again.

Cherryfall and smokepath

Love this place, everyone is happy. Never mean people. Great place to hang out with friends

Amanda Shedonist

Koz's was a really great corner pub with a welcoming bartender and clientele. And the mini bowling was delightful.

Theresa Dupont

Owner very nice and laid back. Very unquie experience!

Tim Todd

We had a great time! Justin the owner is super personable! Definitely worth a visit!

Meg Reppart

What a fun place to go!! We had an amazing time. My friend used to go there like 30 years ago when he used to live in Milwaukee. Love that we can get strikes a lot easier than the regular bowling, and there are guys at the end seeing the pins for us. We should have this everywhere!

A. S.

So much fun & super cheap! Definitely a place you HAVE to stop at when visiting Milwaukee!

Mark Shires

Fun, inexpensive bowling. Cheap beer.

Jackson Comeau

The mini-bowling experience is outstanding- would highly recommend. Staff is also very friendly, fun atmosphere. Only complaint is during our last visit, the liquor was with absolute certainty watered down. We would watch impressed as a double was filled over half way with whatever was in the booze bottles, only to taste the drink and fine it nearly absent of alcohol. Stuck to beer after that.

TJ Voelske

Koz is a stellar dude. Had an absolute blast bowling here!

Kevin Fera

Great place, but be warned, not everything is actually mini. The people and drinks are regular size. It's only the bowling that's mini.

Steve Fels

Great place, drink prices were great and the bowling is a ton of fun!

Hiwot Abebe

Great service, jovial atmosphere, and wonderful facilities for mini bowling. I hope to come back soon. FYI - cash only for bowling but there is an ATM on site.

Patricia Adams

Funky fun, Justin is so accommodating, do something different-don't worry you can't totally suck st duckpin bowling. It's LaVerne and Shirley time!!! I didn't see the bathroom, is why he only gets 4 stars but there was a cute dog.

William Mills

Great hometown bar. Old school mini bowling in the back along with a full bar up front. My friends and I had a blast watching the brewers and playing pool/darts.

Z Mark

If you have never played mini-bowling put this place in your list. Friendly staff and cheap beer. Good times.

Susie Scott

Moved from IL and was first time here. Definitely something to see while in MKE. Never seen a mini bowl before. Friendly bartender, good drinks and no fountain pop so drink tasted even better. Dive bar fun, for sure.

OBliqu e

great place, had fun time

Jaime Meyer

I had to try this place after seeing it featured on a TV Show (I think it was Best Dive Bars in America). It was super fun! Talk about an ego boost, if you're not very good at regular bowling, you should give this a shot, you may even bowl a perfect game! It felt a little dirty and the bartender was slightly ornery, but hey, it is a dive bar right? Fun place to bring visitors.

Don Wood

A *must visit* if you are visiting Milwaukee. It's a good idea to call and reserve a lane. No fancy beers or cocktails but a singular experience engaging in an activity you can't find anywhere else and the entire family can participate in and have enough success to leave fun.

Molly Murphy

A fairly small area to mini bowl. Expect to use cash to tip the employees who help set up the pins. There's a bar area with a billiards table and restrooms. There was a decent amount of seating. Would visit again.

Kyle Harvey

Great bar!! Has a good dive/ old world theme with Pabst memorabilia, a lion, and tons of old pics. The bowling lanes are great and are a ton of fun, service is very friendly, prices are great. This is a must stop if you live in Milwaukee area.

Kavitha Sagi

Great place for kids Birthday party and playing mini bowling. Low key atmosphere with inexpensive options at the bar. Kids love it and spacious enough for about 20 kids plus some adults. You have to bring everything in and clean up yourself, but still worth it!

Bill Heidenreich

Absolutely LOVE this place! It is an absolute blast for the entire family! This is a classic site that has had little done to it, but that's part of it's charm. Make sure to get your PBR Mini Pitcher and ask for the story about the lion!

Zack Hanson

My buddy’s dad owns this joint. They are awesome. Always willing to accommodate and answer questions. They have a tournament every year for mini bowl, but it’s mainly about the drinking lol. They have good drink deals. They don’t hassle you. They are very laid back and I have never. Not once had an issue going to this bar. They have pool tables as well as a few gambling machine games. There also is a taco truck down the road that has some bomb food during drink times. Weather may permit the taco truck

David John

Probably my new favorite dive bar. Just moved to the area and found this place one night walking around. Bowling is free, can get pretty lively on weekends, and the staff is always helpful and know how to pour!

Natalie

So much fun! A little dive bar with a super friendly staff, crazy cheap drinks and best of all, mini bowling (which is much easier than regular bowling if you're sick of getting gutterballs) A great place to take a group of friends or a date if you want to do something a little different.

Caleb Peavy

Extremely friendly people! We had to deny a bar shot this time but rest assured we'll be back for some bowling and liquor. Great place for a drink or three.

Patty Charhut

The last surviving example in the area, this 4-lane mini-bowling alley tucked in the back of a local dive bar offers an old-time bowling experience on a miniature scale. Pin setters are young yet experienced boys who leap up from their perches above the back of each lane to move out or reset the pins. Bowling balls are about the size of a large softball and the pins and lanes are half sized. A very manageable, super fun activity for all ages and skills. Jukebox full of great tunes; many beer selections. Gets crowded so book ahead for your lanes.

Beth Graham

Tucked at the corner of the south side, a hidden treasure for inexpensive beers, pool & mini bowling! Low-key atmosphere. Call ahead for lanes & be sure to tip since it's such a great deal!

Ewan Dickson

What a gem of a dive. Great to get some aggression out in the mini pin bowling. Group of a dozen of us and we all had a blast

shelle adams

Wonderful time!! Super Dave and Justin are amazing!!! Fun times, great staff. If you are looking for something a little different look no farther. I will be back next visit to Milwaukee

Carsyn Ames

So cute!!!! Bartender let us squeeze in a game without a reservation- thanks so much! So friendly and nice. Don’t forget to tip your pinsetters!

Gayle G

Awesome, highly recommend. Had a great time.

chris kopecky

Thank you Justin for a memorable evening. Having you and Michael set the pins for the late night speed match for us on all four lanes at once was quite the way to end the night. We will be back up from Chicago to experience the hospitality at Koz's very soon!

sara roeder

Wow! So much fun! Great bloody mary"s. VIntage old world Milwaukee charm. Don't forget to tip your pin setter. They work hard.

Michelle Alvarez

Justin is amazing!!! the staff is always friendly and drinks are reasonable. when you go here you will feel all the Milwaukee love

Anneka Anderson

This is an awesome dive bar that also has Duckpin Bowling. We went in the afternoon and had a great time. I am upset with myself for not having had this experience earlier in my life.

Kathy Tworek

Super cute place with great old style bowling.

John Eberhardt

I went there in the middle of the day on the weekend but it was fairly busy and very pleasant. Definitely an amazing experience for all of Milwaukee to experience.

Rich Visotcky

There is nothing like Koz's. Get a mini pitcher for yourself, grab a ball, aaaaaand bowl away! Don't forget how to keep score, you're gonna do it yourself on paper (keepsakes!) Tip your pin setters! They're real people, and they're gonna help you have fun all night.

Hannah Martin

The mini biking and bar were great for a night out!

Rebekka Keller

Who would have believed that mini bowling is sooooo much fun? Koz's mini bowling is an insider tip I got from a colleague. That's what I had always figured America to be: not a good chain of mc and king, but a juke box and a "hey honey, what do you like to drink" bartender. Although... The lion looks a bit odd... Still: love it! #besttimeever

Emily Mason

Great spot for a casual work event, birthday party, bachelor/bachelorette party, etc. Owners are great to work with - can bring in your own food. Can't beat the old school Milwaukee tavern vibe.

Lola Marmolejo

This is the best place to visit on Milwaukee's south side. Great atmosphere, friendly people, duck pin bowling and of course ice cold beer. Stop down and have some fun.

Josh Lee

Best experience ever. Great people. Wonderful staff. We drove over 2 hours with our kids so they could see this awesome place

Rob Eigenberger

Mini bowling at Kozs is a must do anyone looking for something to do. Recently took a group of 14 to Kozs and rented all 4 lanes. Everyone had a blast. No bowling skills are required, just go have fun

Eric

We love Koz's! Went there on our first date in Milwaukee, took our parents there and also had a business outing too! Nothing else out there like Koz's.

brad grebe

This is a little piece of history in Milwaukee. Koz is always down to share stories of the bar and what makes it great. A MUST GO IF YOU'RE IN THE AREA

Jeff Nicolai

This place is awesome. Nice people and friendly service

Todd Arndorfer

Spent New Year's Eve here and had great time. The bowling is a blast, and Justin runs the place well. Call and make a reservation for a lane.

nichole golomski

Wonderful Milwaukee charm. Throw back to the bar on every corner time in Milwaukee history. Always a good time. Mini bowling is a great time

Andrew Glassman

The mini bowling is a blast, make sure you reserve a lane! The beer is cheap, cold, and fresh. Kind of hard to find, but totally worth it.
