Wheat Ridge Lanes

I really wanted to rate Wheat Ridge Lanes higher, but my friends and I waited for 2.5 hours and still never got a lane. We hung out at the adjoining bar instead, enjoying delicious greasy food until our stomachs hurt. The fried pickles and mozzarella sticks were particularly notable, as well as the entertaining vintage artwork hanging on the walls. I'm guessing the key is to bowl during off hours, aka not Friday evening. Or visit when it's warmer to enjoy the fun games on the outdoor patio I totally missed. Customer service was decent - I'm sure peak times can feel quite stressful! I loved the vibe overall, just didn't expect to have to wait that long for nothing. Or park several blocks away.

Classic friggin spot. The alley has a vintage feel. Great nostalgic bowling art everywhere.The bar or the "Wheatridge Country Club" is amazing.The food is great too. Normally I order the same thing over and over at most restaurants - but I think I need to try EVERYTHING on this menu. Holy Cow.Something for everyone here. Cornhole. Shuffleboard. Cravable food. Ball Polisher. I filled up my fanny with surprises. Thank you.

I thought this place was so great! We had a party of 6, showed up at about 630 and we bowled 3 games.. we got there when there wasn't a wait so it was easy to get 1 of the 12 lanes. The whole vibe of the place was great. It was like retro, dive bar style. Lanes on one side with a bar/food. And a bar on the other side. We didn't venture into the other side but I'm sure it's cool. We had a blast bowling, they played good music, the fries were superb and the staff was super nice. It's definitely a little squished for space but hey what can you do. Can't wait to go back!

Overall, I have had several great experiences here. Good food and drinks in a 1970's themed bar and bowling joint. The bartender was fantastic and I've met nice people that are fun to have a convo with. I think, however, I got double charged once on my card so I'll probably pay in cash next time. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though, sometimes electronic mistakes happen. Otherwise, very fun place.

We need more places like this to exist! No frills bowling, with an interior that is authentic to its original 1950's roots. Affordable pricing, good food and drink, and super nice staff. Highly recommend this spot!

While the lanes are maintained very well, my view of management has changed. They now prohibit water bottles from being brought in from outside. I am a league bowler and bowl several times each week. This is a physical activity and requires hydration, like any visit to the gym. In their effort to, presumably cut down on those bringing in outside adult beverages, they have alienated their core customers. I now bowl elsewhere.

I've been here for or five times so far, always with at least one ten-year-old on hand. It's a most wonderful time capsule of the eighties, right down to the music ... but without the ashtrays, beer rot, or overwhelm of cologne and perfume. I kind of love it here. My kid and I have some sensory issues, so three games may be the limit by the time the place is hopping. It can be loud with the music and people. For regular folk, I'd say the noise level is "stimulating." That said, there's areal sweetness to the sound of a good strike. What's great, from a sensory perspective is the lack of screens or blinks lights. Just good ol' '80s brown and cream colors, with just the right lighting. The food really is excellent for a bowling alley. I've seen them making a number of things from scratch. They know what they're doing with a deep fryer. Also, because it's Colorado, the beer choices are good.

At first when you walk in, you walk right into a bar! No need to stress, just follow the sign that says "Bowling" and you'll find your way. This place took me back over 20 years! I loved it. We were originally supposed to go to Bowlero, but they were packed with reservations and thankfully found this gem instead. It's affordable and they have food if you're hungry. I didn't get to try any, but maybe next time!

I haven't bowled in such a long time, but this is definitely a place that radiates good vibes from customers and staff! I felt that we were very welcomed and the price for drinks, snacks, and games were all reasonable. This visit definitely puts me in the mood to bowl more.

The food here was really good. I had the wings and a burger. Wings were good just could have been little more spicy. The burger was really good. We had the western bbq burger with bacon and the onion ring. Drinks were reasonable as far as price . I would go back for the food the bowling was fun too just had a long wait.
