Very friendly staff. They noticed my daughter was struggling keeping the ball on the lane so they put the bumpers up for her. Definitely a great family place to hang out

Like remodels, looks more modern. Food was decent. Only complaint was temperature on the lanes. Yesterday was a cool day outside so was surprised how warm it got while bowling. They turned fans on but they barely spun. I think they could be 5 out of 5 if they can figure out how to keep bowling alley cool.

Recently, Ive been going once a month for a group event, and its been a blast. The lanes are rather new because of flooding, so its all in great condition. After 9 or so, they turn off the house lights and turn on blacklights, making some balls, fixtures and lines on the lanes glow. Really cool!

I had a pretty decent Bloody Mary and every food item I have ordered has been fantastic but the entire place is sooooo dark. Turn up the lights a hair unless the aesthetic youre going for is smoky nuclear fallout shelter.

This is a great place for families. The food is great, fairly priced, service was very helpful, and you just could feel the fun walking in the door. Having kids ages 11 to 13 looking for something to do because our neighborhood bowling alley had leagues on a Saturday night we found a really cool place for all, and they have some daily deals that will be great options for some summer fun.

They have a good set up to follow covid rules. Each lane has their own balls with all the weights provided that stay in that lane.Foods always good!

Went for work party. Lanes were really well kept and food service and staff were great. The karaoke hostess/dj was really cool. There were some trashy guys trying to start a fight near close at the karaoke area. Apparently they are there often and that is their go to move. Maybe consider banning them?

Every Wednesday we take our students here to bowl and they really enjoy themselves! The staff here is super nice people. I have been here on a Saturday night. They have karaoke in the bar area on Saturday nights. Food is decent and they have lots of drink specials.

Seems pretty standard bowling alley stuff. Recent graphics on the bowling screens, clean enough to bowl in, lanes seem maintained. Appetizers were tasty, didnt dive into the menu any more than that. Staff was polite.

Lots of lanes, draft beers, decent bar food, jukebox w/70, 80,90, 00s music, ok amount of size 8 balls (2 for a group of 8 on a Friday), and history. After dark, they have glow bowl. Our favorite b/c best of above.

Great bowling alley. Drink free on your birthday. Two dart boards. Pinball machines. Karaoke after 9pm on Fridays. Overall a great time.

Review №31

Don’t let the unwelcoming exterior fool you, this place is a great bowling alley and a whole lot more. It was renovated in mid 2018 and the place looks fantastic! Carpets are clean, chairs are comfy and working. They’ve got state-of-the-art bowling lanes, and tons of them! The food is better-than-average bar fare and the drink prices are very reasonable.The bowling prices are good, although I feel they gouge you a bit on the shoe rentals which can be a turn-off to casual bowlers. Still, it’s the cleanest, most pleasant bowling alley I’ve ever been to.

Would you believe I had my 3 year old birthday party here? It was great and the kids had so much fun with the dragon ball roller. The parents could get cold beers and have pizza. It was fun for all.When not with the kids, the karaoke was a hit with my coworkers. It was laid back and so fun.

Review №43

While on a trip to Wisconsin in August 2017, I visited these lanes on multiple occasions during my week-long stay! Everything but the prices were great! I believe I spent a grand total of $150 on games here over a 3-day period, and that simply is too much. Where I live in Henderson, NV, I can Bowl for almost 3-times less than that, and if this place lowered their prices on bowling, they would get a 5-Stars in my book!

Review №44

This bowling alley is like most bowling alleys, nothing too impressive but for a fun night out this place is fine. However, on a Friday night not much excitement in the alley, it was pretty dead around 10 oclock and not to much on the music front. Overall, I had a fine time.

I went there to check out Madison Pinball. There were not many machines there, that might have something to do with the pandemic.

Review №46

Friendly staff.Came here on a Sunday morning and there were only two lanes (out of 24) in use. It was great.Also, Great pinball selection. The newest (and most expensive games) are out by the lanes. The older ones that cost only a quarter per game are in the bar.

Br
Review №47

Bar food is good for bar food. Bowling is good. Don’t come for drinks and karaoke - service is fair at best and karaoke DJs don’t prioritize new singers, so unless you plan your night around this you are paying overpriced bowling alley drinks to watch drunk baby boomers wreck 60s tunes. It’s not pretty. Also watch out for bartenders stealing your cash, give a 20 and get change for a 10. It’s that kind of place.The place is guarded by 2 sheriffs deputies because it requires multiple fat man oversight to expense your drink bill - safe travels, they will be eating cheese curds on your way out.

We had our employee holiday party (in January) at Schwoeglers and had a blast. We had the pizza and salad buffet, which they set up by our lanes and let us bring in cake. The food was far better than it had any right to be, and the service team was responsive; you wouldnt think a bowling alley would be so proficient at hosting a small banquet, but they acted like they do it all the time. The kids had pizza and bowling, the adults had the football game and the bar- I felt compelled to write a positive review because they deserve some sort of recognition.Good job!

I visit this bowling alley on a monthly basis, as I have a large group that always meets here. If youre looking for a fun, cozy, family-friendly bowling atmosphere, this is a place to get it. Other things to note, the shoes are clean, the staff nice, and the food is good. They also offer cosmic bowling at night, karaoke, and a separate bar area (if youre into that sort of thing).

Good place for an inexpensive but very tasty lunch. Most days they have two tacos or two cheeseburgers for $2.50. Service is always friendly. If youre into the old pinball games, they have some of those too! Lots of TV to catch any sporting events or news.

***** ZERO STARS*****Came here to watch the Badgers vs Buckeyes game. When I arrived wearing my OHIO BUCKEYES gear I was only able to get any kind of service from 1 bartender(CYN). We sat at a booth to eat dinner and watch the game. The super nachos are NOT SUPER, the waitress just kept walking by ignoring us and serving all others at the booths and the tables. We had to go bar to order drinks and food. The double Vodka and rockstar I had ordered with absolutely NO VODKA for $6.00 was a waste of my money.. There were many that came up to us and TAUNTED US right up in our faces, an old lady came up to us and basically told us to STUT UP and let the badger fans scream and holler while the buckeyes were WINNING. I do understand that this is the badgers home. I have been to several other bars in the area to watch the buckeyes game against the badgers and have been treated with respect no matter who won. Its the way the croud acted is ONLY a reflection of the staffs example of how to treat people.*****WI FI*****I noticed they had free WIFI so I connected not long after I was not connected so I went to re-connect and couldnt and I couldnt access the internet at all even on mobile data.. Shortly after my phone went into set up from factory.. This is not a safe place to use your mobile device.If you want a very friendly, super affordable place to eat, drink, enjoy watching all your favorite games, FREE live music every weekend go to the HODY BAR AND GRILL in Middleton, WI.

Place is a lot of fun. Not the nicest or cleanest but I dont go to bowling alleys for nice or clean so its just right. Not too expensive, fun atmosphere, pretty good (average tasty) bar food all things considered. Good place to just relive some stress and knock down a few pins.

Great place to go bowling. Only drawback was lanes 17 & 18 kept getting jammed up with the bowling balls in the return. Somebody had to go and undo the jam every 4 frames. Speedy service

I visited this bowling alley with my small children. Everything was great EXCEPT1) The prices for children are samr as adult. That is ridiculous. There should be a lower price or better yet kids 3 and under free.2) For 1 game with 2 adults and 3 kids $40. That is OUTRAGEOUS. You need to offer more coupon deals or package deals for families. We were only given 2 options pay as we go or a $12 rate for 2 hours/23) I understand outside food is an issue, but some families do have serious food allergies as ours does. I always have my kids bring their own safe food in case we are not sure. I was told we needed to put it away that even if they have food allergies. this is wrong and treading a very thing safety line. I always have our emergency EPI Pen and inhalers. But most placed are understanding and NEVER give us a hard tine even restaurants.For the 3rd reason we will be going to other places or maybe even Ten Pin as they have allowed us in past with no issues.

Went there for the Superbowl so our daughter had something to do while we watched the game, but the tvs are small & u can barely hear anything with the noise of the pins & other bowlers..So we left our daughter for a few min while we went in the bar where the better tv & sound are..
