West Lanes Bowling Center

It may look a little questionable on the outside. But the inside has friendly staff. I got multiple drinks that night, and each one was a hit. We had fun bowling, and they played good music.

Fun for the entire family. Easy to get checked in & start bowling. Lots of bowling lanes, a few video games & a fully stocked bar. Everyone in our group of 8 had fun. That's what it's all about!

First time coming here & it was a great environment. I did not have to wait at all for a lane and prices were fair. I will definitely be coming back here!

Grab a lane, a burger with the works and jalepeños, and a pitcher of Blue Moon because this place is a good price! Mark makes this place for sure! He's got a great personality and seems to remember a lot of repeat bowlers. We like the place because it hasn't gotten over priced yet. Other places want to charge $30 a person and that's just for an hour, not this place. Bowling and shoes are a good price and the beer isn't too bad. Food is greasy bowling alley food but the burger is decent.

We've done a couple of holiday parties here with Yelp over the last 2 years, and they have shown consistent customer service and offer a good time with bowling. It's a classic/divey joint. They don't have the latest and the greatest in terms of their technology and decor, but you can still have some fun with standard lanes of bowling. My vibe is more updated than retro, but the lockers rooms and decades old bathrooms are pleasant enough for even picky me.Cosmic bowling is always fun with cheap beer pitchers, fried finger foods, and friends. Give this small business a chance, it would be sad to loose the "old timey" joints in Omaha.

Classic retro bowling alley. Think Kingpin meets The Big Lebowski. Yes, take in the bar (if you are able) it is just so right on. For our sons last day of Kindergarten we decided to surprise him with a first ever family bowling excursion. The Magic began when our toddler fell asleep in the car and we actually had her stroller with us. She slept through the entire racket of it all (over 2 hours). We couldn't be happier to have rediscovered the joy of bowling and finally shared it as a family. My Dad has a collection of earned 70s' bowling trophies and I opted for Bowling 101 as my undergrad PE requirement. We signed up for the Summer Kids Bowl Free program and the gentleman behind the counter knew exactly what to do for it. The place was not busy and initially the above mentioned gentleman was all business - however Kenny opened up like a flower and man does he take care of things. He did everything there - front desk, worked the bar and made our food (burger, nachos, chili cheese fries, wings...) Really nice guy. The food was bowling alley food akin to stadium food ... you know what to expect and this was not out of the ordinary, but Kenny does know how to make that burger and layer on the chili cheese. Then another man, whom we were advised is a descendant of the original 1955 owners, came by to see how we were doing and offered our son 4 free tickets to a Hans Solo showing. After bowling two strikes (we don't use bumper rails people) this about blew our kids mind, but it got better... they had a photo booth and our son wanted to have a hand at the Claw game. Oh yes, The Claw, designed for failure yet... our kid won on his first try and to his sisters delight a pink dragon baby thing that she has yet to put down became hers. Upon opening the door the reminiscent smell of irreversible years of cigarettes, tipsy drinks and air freshener hit us like a bomb. My memories wanted for that icy blast common in bowling alleys, but sadly not to be found here. However this was no matter because this place rocked. Clean establishment with a friendly staff. We are signing up for the kids bowl free family pass because this may become a bit of an old school habit that embraces family night with physical activity, friendly competition and bowling alley grub.

Great place to bowl with great people! The staff is friendly and the establishment is clean. Not only is the bowling experience great the bar food and drinks are actually pretty good.

I haven't been to a bowling alley since my beloved Kelley's Hilltop shut its doors for good a few months ago. Luckily, West Lanes is still alive and kicking and close to where I live.It offers everything you want from a classic bowling experience: A musky smell still reminiscent of the good ol' days when everyone smoked inside. Bathrooms that haven't been updated for decades. A spattering of coin operated vending machines and games. A tacky lounge called Blue Magoo that features no fancy drinks and no craft beer. A menu of classic American favs made fresh to order -- we're talking cheeseburgers and fried pickles and all that jazz. Plus, pretty decent bowling lanes that automatically switch to "cosmic" mode once 9 p.m. hits on the weekends. And a decent crowd on a Saturday night to round things out.Yeah, I still enjoy grabbing a few friends, a couple pitchers of Keystone Light and throwing some rocks, and West Lanes is a perfect spot to do so.

Wow... who knew? Been living in the neighborhood for years and didn't know this existed. Place is well lit, clean and fun. If you like bowling and you are around 72nd and dodge... give this place a shot. They definitely could improve the signage but now I know what I am looking for! ;)

Clean, although lacks design or anything to make it different from other places, pizza was not worth it but friendly service and decent pricing.
