My friends in Arlington took me here on a Saturday afternoon. A tournament had been underway at the time but half of the lanes (about 45 total) were still vacant at the time. They looked spotless and the seating area felt acceptably clean. I didn't use the provided balls, but they looked like the standard casual-player ones that don't spin easily.Their usual prices are also okay for a Saturday before 6pm -- $20 per lane per hour and $5 for shoe rentals. Check their Facebook for occasional deals. I recommend grabbing 3 of your buddies to split the cost.All in all, a solid bowling alley. It gets the job done for a fun night out.

A Grand Prairie staple offering affordable bowling, concessions food, and alcohol at their lounge. Don't remember exactly how many lanes there are but about 50!

Love these lanes. Great lanes- they take really good care of them. And there are really good specials if you look at their FB page

When the family wants a bowling night, Forum is the first place that comes to mind. The service is great and the lanes are regularly maintenance. Can't recommend this spot enough.

Good price, good experience. Just too far from me and slightly run down. It took 1 hour for me to get a small fry that I could get from McDonald's, so that is rhetorical reason for the low score,

First time back since bowling in the Quaker State Open in1988.Asked the Lady at the front desk if I could bowl on the championship pair 39-40. So I got to bowl on lane 40. The first thing I noticed right away is the strange pin action if you hit light on the pocket. Expecting to rip the rack and twice I left the 4-8-10 and once left the 4-10 on a light pocket hit. The pins acted like they were plastic like the twisters. The other drawback was the backends didn't react like I expected with fresh lane conditions.Before I left I asked the Lady at the desk if there were any pictures from the 1988 Quaker State Open hanging on a wall? She looked at me like I was bothering her. She replied "no" in a way that It's like the PBA history and memories were completely forgotten.

We tried going to Forum Bowl at 2:00 on Sunday and were told we'd have to wait til 3:30 or 4:00 because of a tournament. There were a lot of empty lanes. Not sure why we couldn't use one, but my main complaint was the attitude of the lady at the counter. When I said we checked the web site and there was no mention of a tournament and no way to make a reservation she just said it's like this every weekend and we should have called ahead. She wasn't friendly or sympathetic about our frustration. She really just doesn't care. She didn't use the words "This is your own fault" but that is absolutely what her attitude told us.

I called to ask if they locate and drill holes for bowling balls and the man hung up on me.

This place is the epitome of an old school bowling alley. If you are looking for a bougie, pristine and shiny new facility with your own personal waitstaff then look elsewhere, but if you long for a good Ol' vintage and nostalgic bowling alley that has been around since the 70's then this your place. Some of the previous reviews state that this place is ran down and reeks of cigarette smoke- while it is an older establishment- it is not ran down- and it does not reek of cigarette smoke- there is a separate bar that is closed off from the bowling alley where I believe you can smoke, but there is no smoking in the bowling alley itself. The bar offers drink specials daily that change every week and then there is a separate cafe that provides tasty concession type delicacies - such as nachos, cheeseburgers, tater tots, fries, chicken strip basket, etc. We ordered nachos, a chicken strip basket with tater tots and a double cheeseburger with chili cheese tots- it was delicious! Everything cooked to perfection and the staff behind the counter are great! We really enjoyed our visit and will be back- as a bonus we learned that there is also an indoor roller skating rink across the street....so go bowl and then head across the street for adult night at the roller skating rink.
