Olathe Lanes East Bowling Center

I am not a bowler and will probably never go pro. I've been to several bowling alleys over the years and can say with my limited bowling experience that Olathe Lanes East is a decent place. We came on a Sunday night where 3 games and shoe rentals cost us $5 each. Again with very little bowling experience I can say that is still a great price for bowling. We had to show up early before the happy hour started at 8pm. I saw a few people get turned away because they came right at 8pm.Be sure to try the diner too. It's actually decent alley food. I had the loaded fries and am still thinking of how good they were.

I had a good time. Everyone seemed friendly & place was clean and Didn't have any funky smell. Bar isn't the best but it's a Boeing ally not a bar‍. Would recommend to have a fun little night! Give it a try

It's clean and equipment works well. Staff is friendly and helpful. I bowl in a women's league. Not a sanctioned league. Great improvement over past location.

It's a bowling alley. The place is old and you can really tell. But we honestly just go here for some cheap bowling alley kind of fun! I don't know what more you can expect. The food is okay, but again you're at a bowling alley. I did get the patty melt once and it was pretty good. But if you want to go to a low key, older bowling alley, this is your place.

For an older place, they keep their lanes pretty nice. Don't get me wrong, they could use a new carpet, some new tables and chairs, but the service there is amazing, food is always pretty good, and decent bar selection. They are great for leagues, and definitely cater to them. Hard to get an empty lane sometimes for non-league bowling, but I guess that just means they're great!

Walked in, asked for two hours. $61 total, this is a rundown spot so I figured it would be a little cheaper. Went to look for balls and can only find 10 and ups, I was with my girlfriend who usually bowls with a 7/8 but we couldn't find it. I went to the desk and asked where the lighter ones were and he pointed behind his desk. You would never know that these balls were there back there. A little heads up saying where they were when checking in would've been nice. As we bowled, no music was played on a Friday night at 9pm. I went to ask the desk and asked if they had any because it was just quiet and depressing. To which the front desk said "yeah, we have music. But we don't play it." I said "oh okay, we'll thank you." And walked away. I took it in a rude way but that could've been me, just not the response you expect. Then they turned on music and played maybe 3-4 songs of 2000s shit rock and then turned it off. As I'm writing this, we're sitting and finishing our pitcher of beer with no music and don't have any desire to bowl. One positive note, the bartender and cook were very sweet and the bartender even remembered my name when I went back up to close the tab out. Still wouldn't come back, only because of the front desk and how they apparently want to run this place.

The lanes are amazing and the overall layout I love I've been and the customer service was meh and slow but in the bowling industry they are cheap and better

wonderful lanes with great cleanliness, i've bowled there for a year now and can't find a bowling alley better than this one. open bowling is a little tight, because of leagues but if you call up it's a lot easier to tell when to go there. i don't understand 2.5 stars for this place, i would rate it at least 4 stars.

Came to Olathe lanes to see our daughter bowl for school....upon arrival was charged $7 per person to just enter and watch only....beware they are not nice at all and only care about the money....suggest spend your money elsewhere...where they actually appreciate people...:if they go out of business I know why....

This bowling alley is down home fun! No frills fun for the whole family. We have had MANY birthday parties here and we've been to many open bowling times and had a great experience every time. Every party that we've celebrated here have been awesome and my party was well taken care of. Never had a complaint about any of our service or the atmosphere there. The arcade isn't great but it doesn't really matter because we are there to bowl, not play arcade games!
