Fun & hidden gem in the Danforth. We went with some friends and our kids - the hosts are extremely friendly and provided some of the best customer service I’ve seen in many years. Big kudos. 5 stars. Check it out.

Visited for a birthday party and had the best time! Staff were friendly and prior to our visit advised us that there is no ATM on-site and you would need cash for shoe rental and the bar. It's a cozy location with 6 lanes, clean washrooms, lights and music. Make sure you know how to score bowling as it's a paper system. I've already planned to return for a double date night!

Attended a friend's birthday party here and we all had a lot of fun! I think as long as you're willing to follow the rules here, respect the place, and enjoy a more retro vibe, you can have a great time. 5 pin bowling with the small balls, manual scorekeeping with paper and pencil, and manual resetting of the lane with a push of a button. Some food and drink available for purchase, along with a $5 bowling shoe rental fee per person. We bowled for 2 hours and that was more than enough time. The folks that own the place are pretty friendly, and as mentioned just follow the rules they lay out. The place is well kept as a result.

Had an amazing birthday experience here with a group of 30 people! The spot was cute and well organized. It was hard to reach the staff at first to book an evening but once I was able to catch them via voicemail everything else was seamless. There were parties back to back, a local institution that has been around since the sixties. Highly recommend if you want a fun time and a private space for a great birthday!

Five pin bowling. Great for kids and grownups alike. Wayne and Brenda were awesome and we had a blast. The soundtrack was probably the best part—we asked them what the playlist is and they said it’s private and that they work very hard to curate it! Reasonably priced snacks and drinks, too! Can’t wait to go back.
