My wife and I bowl on a Monday night bowling league. I promised her on several occasions that I would upgrade her bowling ball. So I made good on my promise and she ordered a new ball, bag, and shoes. More importantly I was extremely impressed with the level of customer service of Matt and Anthony. Both gentlemen are knowledgeable, friendly, and have a heart to serve. It was refreshing to see these guys work together and feed off each other. It is very rare to find guys of this caliber. This customer service friendly environment allowed me to purchase the necessary items and enjoy it all at the same time. If you are ever in need of anything to do with bowling Matt and Anthony are the guys you want to deal with.

I was extremely disappointed with the service here a week ago. But we had to wait a hour for two lanes.. which I understood with covid restrictions. I DO NOT like to play the race card anywhere because I believe that all will be treated equal... BUT they had literally had African Americans at one end all next to each other and at the other end people of non color at the other with lanes to separate them. I forgot to take pictures.. but it wasn't cool because even my 15 yr old niece noticed it along with others.We purchased a Groupon ONLY for our lanes to continue to freeze and we kept having problems only for them to add 10 mins extra.You don't have to worry I will not be returning.

First visit. Found a Groupon and it was under $20 for six pairs of shoe rentals and two hours of bowling! This place is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Best hidden gem of my 2021! Highly recommend for inexpensive family fun or date night. Definitely will be back! Kudos for a great family entertainment venue. They have signs posted that they have a zero tolerance policy for bad behavior. Really enjoyable!

Set 'em up, KNOCK 'EM DOWN!Hindel is a great little bowling alley on the East side of Indianapolis. It's actually one of the oldest bowling alleys in the city, although it's modern interior would never show it. The alley has kept up with the updates in bowling (as lovingly low-tech as it remains), and features digital scoreboards, automatic pin-setters, etc.The facility itself is clean, and kept in good repair. I especially love that the snack bar features all of the fried, fatty things that the heart desires when tossing ten-pound balls at wooden pins. There's something absolutely relaxing about the repetitive destruction of the constantly re-set pins (that was surprisingly profound, lol).My only pause with Hindel Bowl is the location. It's a little bit away from the highway, which limits how accessible it is to some. If you make your way there in the daytime, you shouldn't have any troubling finding it. Happy bowling!

I went today for my cousins 20th birthday. Our lanes kept messing up, customer service was awful, and employees definitely had attitudes. My cousin left with an hour left but her lane kept messing up and they took forever. I would highly recommend another bowling place just don't go to Hindel Bowl.

Hindel Bowl gets 5 stars because of it's shop. Finding someone who can drill bowling balls to perfection is like finding a good auto mechanic. They are very hard to find. Steve Lang is the most experienced, professional pro shop operator in Indianapolis. He is in the Indianapolis Bowling Hall of Fame and has won a few Regional Pro Bowling Tour stops. Steve drills bowling balls for the most elite bowlers in Indianapolis.Steve's pro shop has the best prices in town. Any bowling ball you buy here is normally $20-$30 cheaper with or without drilling than most pro shops. That includes Don Mitchell Pro Shops, which are located in all Royal Pin houses. He is very customer oriented. Steve will even watch someone bowl before selling them a ball to make sure they are getting the right ball to help improve their game and arsenal. He even talked a bowler into buy a bowling ball that was $50 cheaper, because it was a better fit for the bowler.Steve also has molded thumb grips, which are awesome. They are very cheap. If you have a ball that the feel is just perfect, he can make a mold of that grip to use in you other equipment. That way all your balls will feel the same. I will only let Steve Lang drill my equipment. I've been bowling for over 20 yrs and was on a nationally ranked collegiate bowling team. Steve's customer service, prices, and experience are that good.

Hindel bowl is a true Indianapolis gem. Well kept and friendly, there is dollar bowl on many Sunday mornings- that's right, $1/game. I love it for the clientele - all kinds of folks, lots of regulars. No TVs over every lane- there are some TVs in the place, but they aren't front and center. This place is a bowling place. For bowlers who want to bowl. Nothing crazy and new-fangled, just the regular stuff that works great!! We love this place.

This place was so classic I loved it. I felt like I was blasted right back into the 80's- and everything was in excellent, well kept condition. The place was very clean and everyone was very friendly. It was refreshing to go bowling without all of the crazy lights and hip hop music. It had a good "wholesome" feel.

I work as a mental health therapist for a local agency. I took some of my clients here for time working on social skills in the community. The staff at Hindel made sure we felt at home and were extremely supportive of my clients' experience. They gave us a lane where we had space to ourselves while I know they were very busy with a tournament happening at the other end. We had a great time and everything about it was fun and we will be back!
