Bob & Willie’s Wonderbowl

Looking for a fun thing to do with a group of friends?! You found it!! This year, a group of friends and I joined a mini bowling league at Bob and Willie's in Blackstone. Last night, we took advantage of their half-price bowling after 10 p.m. It turned into such a fun night, especially with $4 tequila shots to kick things up a notch! I also love how the place has that perfect vibe for hanging out, chatting, and snacking. The servers are always on top of it, too, making it a fun time as always! Always save room for popcorn ;)

We went to Wonderbowl on a Wednesday at 4, and it was so fun! My parents had been there before, but it was my and my husband's first time. It is a very fun game to play. I don't like traditional bowling because it always pinches my fingers, so this mini ball was much easier for me to hold. It's easy to get a hang of the new version of the game too.They have a full bar, as well as food. The bartender was nice. I ordered an apple mimosa drink that was great!It's a fun atmosphere. I bet it's better at night. And they also have a great looking patio, but it's too cold right now for that haha.

After walking through blackstone, my boyfriend and I thought this might be a different and fun little activity on a Saturday night. Since all the other bars were over filled, this was a nice and calm scene with a few lanes in use. The vibe of the good ol wonderbowl was that of a regular sized bowling alley with the small game area and the iconic patterned carpet. Luckily since this is mini bowling, you don't have to check out shoes!! (It's a win in my book) The lanes themselves were fairly priced and the bar was open, allowing guests to grab a drink and have a bowl. The bowling itself is so much fun, a different way to add bowling back on the dating list!

I came in with a girlfriend who was visiting. We didn't bowl, but the bar was excellent, it was busy but the bartender was quick with our drinks. Despite not bowling, the ambiance is really hip and cool, I felt like we were in another city with all the lights, sights, and sounds. It's right in the middle of the Blackstone so it's a stones throw from other bars and restaurants, making it a nice place to stop by on your night out.

We had the opportunity to go to the location off of Pacific over the weekend and had a great time with family visiting from out of town! I was completely new to the concept of mini bowling and overall though it was pretty fun. The employee working the counter was very friendly and accommodating to the fact that some of our family that did the booking ended up not being able to attend due to getting in a car accident on the way. This was a great activity for older kids. I unfortunately had a toddler with me and was a little worried about letting her walk anywhere near the bowlers for the fear that she would get hit whilst someone was bringing back their arm. I suppose that is my one critique; that I wish there was a little more space as things feel a little claustrophobic and scrunched.

So we came for a little Sunday Funday action. We paid for a lane (it's hourly and up to 8 people). Ordered food and paid for it on a kiosk. Picked it up at the pickup window. Ordered drinks at the bar. We had chicken strips, pretzel bites and boneless wings. We had to order an extra order of chicken strips because we ate them all and wanted more. It's definitely bar food but it's GOOD bar food. This place is definitely kid friendly! I would like to come back later at night when it was a more adult crowd (but that's because I'm a grumpy old lady). The hostess was SUPER helpful when navigating the kiosk, adding people to my lane (because they were running late) and bringing out our food because I didn't have a buzzer thing. Grab the fam and try something new!

This was my first time at wonderbowl, and I had a blast. I've been wanting to try wonderbowl, but it's always extremely busy. I would recommend going during the weekday or early in the evening if you don't want to wait for a lane. Or you can wait at the bar and enjoy some drinks while you wait.

Headed out here to listen to a band on the patio but decided to grab a bite at the same time. Not a ton of menu options but they had what mattered. Ordered the dry rub spicy wings and a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. Only ordered ten wings but since they were small we got a bunch. They were good but should have ordered the sauce to tone down the spice -next time. The sandwich was so good. The cheese sauce was different than anything we had before but really good and really filling. The miniature bowling was very popular and a fun and different activity. You really have to reserve your time as this is gets busy. What we came for was that outdoor "concert like" atmosphere. We were not disappointed. Although from the street the patio seems small, there is plenty of room! It was a perfect night and the band was good. Will be paying attention to their calendar of events to catch more music. It is definitely worth driving downtown for !!!

So much fun!!! My family, my boyfriend and I checked it out for the first time yesterday and had a BLAST! We booked a lane for an hour but it felt like 20 minutes because of how much fun we had. The staff we nice and the food was great! 10/10 will be going again!

My friends and I went to Bob & Willies Wonderbowl and have a nice time. The only regret we had was not reserve for more than 1 hour. After your hour is up the lights off on your lane. They have a big bar with plenty of space to spread out. The food we had was good as well. Definitely would be back for an afternoon of fun.
