Brown Deer Lanes

I'm impressed with the nice, clean outdoor patio and volleyball area. There is an abundance of heaters, seats & fire pits to keep warm on the cool spring nights. There are 4 well maintained outdoor sand pits that are well lit at night. Picnic tables are available for each team, located by each court. Of course, there is the sports pub inside, but there's a cute service bar outside. No glass, please. There's plenty of water and sanitizer. Fun and friendly teams. Well organized. Good drink specials.

Friendly service and OK food, it was fun for a bowling party for young teens. The place is older, but out lane functioned well, and when it needed help during our 2 hour rental, the staff were quick and attentive to fix the issue. It's older inside and could use a face lift, but good value overall.

This place was okay. The service was super friendly, but our lane kept malfunctioning. It wasn't until we were almost done with our last game that they decided to give us a new lane. So that was slightly annoying, but oh well. Place is decent. We ordered food; pizza and soda. It was all decent. Not the best, not the worst. We'll probably be back.

It's been a long time since I visited a bowling alley. I'm not sure why as it can be a lot of fun regardless if you can throw a strike or a gutter ball. Last summer, my family and I decided to take a chance on Brown Deer Lanes. It doesn't look like much from the outside. It's clearly an older building that's been around for decades, but hey, there's something about the nostalgia of a classic alley.My first impression:Wow! It's clean! When I typically think of a bowling alley I think of dirty. Not the case here. Things were tidy with a decent bar that was a step above the standard.The prices aren't bad at all. No reason not to visit if you think it will break the bank. Decent amount of lanes so that you didn't have to wait- always appreciated!Plenty of balls for the baller! Good selection to find the best ball that fits you.Bathrooms are way outdated, but they're clean. Not always the case.Food prices aren't obnoxious. You won't feel guilty for buying nachos and a pizza for the crew.Looking forward to going again!

The Dude abides.One of my first part time jobs was at a bowling alley. small 10 lanes I tried to visit it 6 years ago and found out that it was bulldozed down. RIPIf you live on the North shore and there isn't much to choose from that is close to home. This is a close replacement. Part bowling alley part bar part restaurant and during the summer season League volleyball . They have good bar style food.The bathrooms are clean but hot/humid and could use more ventilation.

Just finished up my first league bowling experience. We took second place! I was a new bowler and the staff and fellow bowlers were very welcoming. Let me tell you I am hooked, pun intended. The staff is great with service, not only on the food and beverage side but also to help correct any scoring or lane issues. The lanes themselves are nice. I went to village bowl and the approach was so terrible I just left. I definitely recommend joining a league even if you've never bowled before. Side note. I vape instead of smoking cigarettes. The bowling alley is vape friendly. I don't know of any other competitive social activity where I can enjoy my vape and have fun. That being said I try to be as respectful as possible usually blowing it under my table as it dissipates quickly. I can't stress enough how enjoyable joining the league was and I will be returning on Tuesday nights.

I don't really bowl anymore but this is my favorite bowling alley in this city. Surprisingly, have really good pizza.

Am I really that bad???Yes sirre Bob, I am not the bowler of my teenage years. Nonetheless, this place is a blast even though I didn't break a 100 WITH the bumpers. It's clean and the crowd has a great variety. Our group was next to a few professional type, 30-something's. Just next door was a couple on a date and a family on the other side. They offer reasonable rates. On certain nights you enjoy glow bowling. The bar has a cozy feel with great prices on food and drink. A spacious parking lot next to a gas station and a Häagen-Dazs Coffee Beanery, pretty convenient . Call first for open bowling as it changes often.

I have been here a whopping one time. It was for a friend's birthday. I have to say they were pretty awesome. Beer was cheap. Food was cheap. I'm taking a star off because they don't advertise when the kitchen closes nor is it clear when the place closes (1 am). We were still playing out our game and the place was closing around us.

Really don't need to elaborate on the pros and cons on a review of a bowling alley, but I enjoyed the smoke free atmosphere and was pleasently surprised by the bar setup and good beer selection on hand. Pitcher of Sprecher Amber was 7.50..(great).The location and building are nothing special, the space inside doesn't feel that large (there are approx 15 lanes though), there isn't much to do aside from bowling and billiards from the bar, but for cheap entertainment, relatively clean atmosphere and potential movie location for The Big Lebowski 2, this place is alright in my book.
