Bay View Bowl

We visited Bay View Bowl on a Friday night. We were able to get two lanes within 1 hour on a first come first serve basis. The bar was great and they had pizza and typical bowling alley foo; it was decent. Some of the kids really enjoyed playing the arcade games and the vintage photo booth.

Checked out bay view bowl and man was it busssyyyyy. I think due to the Christmas break and people being on vacation resulted in it being so packed on a Thursday. I asked the worker and he said it usually is not as busy. Overall it was a great experience and I will be back because it was great fun! The three stars was due to the bartender not being the friendliest and the lanes had some issues with them. I would go here if you are looking for a fun activity to do!

We had such a good time at Bay View Bowl. We've walked past it countless times and said "we really need to go there," and then we finally did! It did not disappoint. Glow Bowl from 9:30-midnight on Friday was a blast. They have vending machines with socks for $2.50 if you happened to wear sandals. Plus plenty of arcade games, and if you bowl a strike when the orange pin is in the 1 spot, you get to spin a wheel. So much fun and I can't wait to go back!

A huge thank you and shout out to Bay View Bowl. I attended my granddaughters birthday party there tonight. My necklace with a pendent and my mother's wedding ring broke and they fell off. They found the pendent and went through the garbage and found the ring! I am so grateful! And the party was great too! This is the 2nd birthday party we have gone to at Bay View Bowl and both were fun!

I can't say I loved the bowling because the pins seemed more plastic than other bowling alleys around the area like landmark lanes. The pins fell down more easily it seemed and there were two delays with the pins for our lane which was annoying. Only one guy at the front desk could add bowlers to lanes and they spelled our names wrong. It was just disorganized to bowl with a group of people. They do have a special on Sundays that games, shoes, and miller lite is all $2. I did like how big it was and how they had pool and a bar area with cheap drinks.

This is my neighborhood bowling alley, so I am likely to be a little bit more forgiving than a reviewer from outside Bay View. I love that BVB has 4 pound balls with four holes for little kids to use. The staff there is always great about offering to have one lane with bumpers for the kids and one lane without for the grown-ups. This makes bowling with little ones more fun for the adults. The drink prices are good and not expensive at all, and they are generous with garnishes for kiddie cocktails. For parents who bowl with children, this is a plus! The lanes sometimes get "stuck" which is annoying but to be expected with my 6 year old rolling the ball at 2 MPH. There are a few video games and a few machines that will dispense small candies or plastic junk. I ply my kid with the aforementioned kiddie cocktails to distract her and avoid giving all my money to the electric candy robots. I need that money for the occasional kid- free bowling date nights with the hubby. My only gripe is that I struggle to find an 8-9 pound ball that I can use here. I have big hands and weak wrists, so I am a tough fit. (Sorry for the TMI!)All around decent place to bowl and have a drink, and an asset in the area.

Such a nice vibe and cheap prices. Nice cozy place with only 12 lanes but wait times never seem to be too long. Couple pool tables is another bonus. Definitely will be returning.

So, yea - I like the Bay View bowl. It's the closest spot to my location, convenient, not excessively busy and allowed us to bowl on a weekend (i.e. didn't have leagues). It's a no frills, really, I mean you know - it's bowling!They have a full bar in front. Usually a couple specials. There's also a jukebox so you can play your favorite tunes. It's a bit tougher to find songs on the one they have where you have to search by artist or song name... but it's modern, anyway. BVB isn't super big but also not tiny and has the basic amenities one needs to get their bowl on. Can't comment about food, honestly there's so many great places in the area so I'd say eat before or after!

NOT A NORMAL BOWLING ALLEY!!! Came here for my brothers 30th birthday ONLY to bowl and we got denied because we didn't have our ID... we didn't plan on drinking or using the bar . The "bouncer" didn't listen kept saying he need our ID rather go anywhere but here again! MAYBE PUT BAR IN THE NAME

Is Keith the most handome mensch in Milwaukee? Yes. Is the best bowling alley in the world? Yes. The beer is crisp. The oil patterns are sharp. The vibes are immaculate. When I die, put my ashes in a bowling ball and roll me down lane 5 at Bay View Bowl. 10000/5. I'm fucking wasted.
