Lucky Lanes

Blink and you'll miss this smaller bowling alley on the northeast corner of Howard & 51st. I visited one afternoon on a weekday, and it was the quietest, cleanest bowling alley I've ever been in. There were 2 people bowling and a couple more sitting at the bar. We were at group of 4 and they let us use two lanes so we could get more games in during the hour rental period. There is an area with some arcade games, as well as several dart boards and a pool table. The business has a small town feel and does not seem like anything has changed since the 70s or 80s. They have a full bar and also have a food menu.If you are in the area and looking for a quick game of bowling, especially at an odd time, check out Lucky Lanes!

the dude working was rude as hell. definitely don't wanna go back there.. and he charged way more then what it was for 2 games

It doesn't look like much from the outside but the bowling alley is actually pretty decent. They have great prices for bowling and for drinks / food at the bar. The staff is very friendly as well.

We had a great time at Lucky Lanes! We called ahead and found out Monday night is all you can bowl for $10/person. Shoes were a very reasonable $2/pair. We had a wonderful family night out at this 16-lane alley. Food and bar prices are also affordable. We watched the Brewers on TV while bowling. It was fun to hear everyone cheering along with us. We're from out of town, and we wish we had this place where we live. The service was wonderful and it was a ton of fun.

Update: it smells a lot better in here now. Looking good, nice crowds and the bar area seems like fun to hang out in.

I bowl here on a regular basis. Service is the best. The Owners are dedicated to making this a great place to be not only for bowling but also to sit and have a few drinks after.

I almost don't want to review this place because it's our own little gem. To support them however I feel I must. This is exactly what you would expect in a Wisconsin neighborhood bar and bowling ally. Leagues, bartender who knows your name, free darts and pool on Sunday etc. Love this place and so glad it close.

The bowling balls got stuck during kids a birthday party. The staff seemed frustrated and blamed the kids for using the balls when they weren't coming up. They are kids.The guy repairing the lanes was the cook so we couldn't order and we were not offered to use the other lanes. I wouldn't recommend this place, they were also out of food, they forgot to order even though they just opened. I will not be going back.
