There is tons of fun to be had at Uptown bowling alley!

Our family absolutely LOVES bowling at Uptown Alley! We particularly enjoy going to Uptown during the early hours on the weekends (10 am), as it is not crowded. However, if you visit later on the weekend, you should consider reserving a lane, so you won't have to wait quite as long. This is mainly for large parties, and those over 21, as Uptown Alley, has a huge bar, where you can wait until a lane opens. It'd be a great spot for get togethers after work or to mix up happy hour

I like Uptown Alley because it's more than just a bowling alley. There are tons of arcade games, a full menu, pool tables, and on weekends there are often live entertainers. If you are bowling with beginners, you can request gutters and a ramp.  Shoe rental is $4; be sure to wear or pack socks! Uptown offers specials for children during the summer, including deals on games and the arcade.

After bowling, enjoying a yummy meal, and playing games at the arcade, we usually spend about two hours at Uptown Alley. It's fun to fill a morning, especially a cold or rainy day. If you will often bowl here, consider joining the Loyalty App and earn credit during each visit. You will also receive specials for birthdays and anniversaries.
