Ken Bowl

Staff were really patient and kind with me and my toddler. They were helpful and attentive. The bathrooms and building interior are very clean and well maintained. The price was great and we also got some snacks which were reasonably priced as well. We will definitely be back!

My family had a great time here and will be coming back. I was about to pay for all of us individually for two games and the staff mentioned the special- like $10 per person to bowl as much as you can within three hours-- you can't beat that! We left before 3 hrs were up, but we got in 3 games, so definitely worth it. We also got food while there. I got a Philly with tots, the kids got burgers with fries. We were all surprised that bowling alley food could be so good lol- huge thanks to the ladies in the kitchen!

I'ma straight up tell you...this place is a bit skeezy feeling. But they seem to have a loyal, active, and SERIOUS customer base. So they must be doing something right. Ken Bowl gives you an old school, independently-owned bowling type of place feel. It just looks like it is gonna be sticky and smell like cigarettes, no matter how clean it actually is or when the last indoor cig was smoked. But that is a type of charm, isn't it? And also the exterior is so mid-century modern cool...Anyway, we got some concession food while we waited for our final friend to arrive. The food is not gourmet, but it is also not expensive. It gets the job done, fully cooked and decent enough.We got a couple hours on a lane paid for, our shoes acquired and got our bowl on. It took a while for my weak-armed self to find an appropriate ball to use, and they tend to favor very heavy ones here. But I eventually found a room with all lighter balls that I could maneuver. The bar area has a window for ordering from the bowling alley side, without having to go in to the bar itself (where there was live music for a bit and later it sounded like karaoke going on). The beer and booze is very affordable. Can't complain there. And a pretty decent selection.There was serious league play going on when we first got there, then later a LOT of teens and younger folks. I felt both out of place because I was so bad at the game as well as feeling ancient around the youths ha ha!I'm not sure I would come back on my own, as there are other spots more convenient to me. But if I was hanging out with folks or had plans with someone else, and they wanted to come here, I wouldn't protest. I would go and have a good time.

Smaller Bowling alley located on the Southside of Louisville. I've bowled in different leagues over the years and although it has been a few years they use to do a disco bowl on Friday nights which was always fun. Prices are relatively cheap which makes it nice to open bowl.

Fun bowling alley that I've been to numerous times over my lifetime. Brings back a lot of memories of being in the area and going to the old movie theater that was relatively close to it anyway then you go bowling at Ken bowl see the people of the community get a hotdog all that good stuff growing up. They could probably use a few additions in upgrades but it's still a solid bowling alley

Fun time with a five year old for a awesome report card and reward for being an awesome student at school. Friendly employees who were willing to go the extra mile to accommodate my little guy and myself. Definitely go! You will have a good time!

This is probably the cleanest bowling alley I've ever been to. I like to take by kids here to bowl not onlybecause it's clean but because during the daytime they're never super busy and the people who work here are always very friendly. They have the fun dinosaur ramps for kids to use which is very helpful for littles who can't quite roll the ball one handed yet. They also have the bumpers that most places do for kids also so the combination of those and the ramps makes for a lot less frustration for my kids who get easily discouraged when things aren't going their way. The food in the snack bar is pretty decent, nothing fancy but average greasy bowling alley fare, pizza, burgers, fries etc. I already mentioned how clean this place is but I have to mention the bathrooms specifically because they look to be recently renovated and they're always very clean and well taken care of which is great because I always feel like my kids manage to touch everything in public bathrooms and while I of course make them wash their hands it's nice if everything doesn't look horribly disgusting. Also if you're looking for a deal Ken Bowl participates in the kids bowl free program over the summer so the kids can bowl two games each for just the price of the show rental. This place may look a little rundown from the outside but inside it's definitely very well cared for.

I had a fantastic experience here. I went with a group of non-native English speakers and all of the staff that we encountered was super patient, friendly and culturally competent. They gave us a deal since we were a large group that allowed us to bowl two games and rent shoes for $5 a person. The bowling alley itself was clean and nice. Everyone had a good time and when our screen glitched, the staff came over and fixed it right away.I ate as did several of my friends and we saw nothing disgusting there (as prior posters did). The food was great for a bowling alley and was fairly inexpensive. I will definitely be back there.

At first, I was a little unsure of the area, BUT was pleasantly surprised upon entering the bowling alley! It was very well kept, everyone was super friendly and helpful. Super clean and everyone appeared to be having a good time. Definitely will be back!

Bowling itself wasn't horrible definitely far from the best. I got the feeling they were very racist and sexist. My boyfriend wasn't allowed to use a 8 pound ball because he was "too big" but his friend got nothing said to him at all about using the SAME ball . We were watched the entire time we were there by 3 different people. the workers were also by far from being friendly and nice to us . I would never go back to this place ever again in my life.
