  5. Worst bowling experience ever!
    I had been once before, and had a good time. But this last Saturday was enough to let me know my first trip was an anomaly. The floor was sticky (which nearly ruined my bowling shoes - I had to go home and scrub the gunk off the bottom), the pin resetting machines would regularly knock down pins instead of picking them all up, and children were allowed to run free - which included UP THE ACTUAL L...

  6. Great place to bowl
    Went with my class of students here for a class trip. It was a cool place to bowl with two floors of bowling alley's. Most of my student's have never bowled before so this was a really great experience for them. It definitely was a great day for all.

  7. Do not have a party at this establishment
    I attended a kids party on Jan 30 2009. The service was horrible. There we're no attendents present on the lanes to deal with issues. The lanes constantly got stuck. We waited for over 30 minutes for the lane to be fixed. They never put up bumpers in one of the lanes. The food was late. I will never have kids party there. I gave my daughter a bowling party at another establishment and it was fant...

  8. Bad Food, Bad Service, Bad Management, Bad experience.
    Is there a 0 star rating because this place is LOUSY!!! Very unprofessional. Poor food quality. Lousy lanes. Terrible equipment. I had a party @ Harlem Lanes on nov.29th '08 and to mine and my party's dissmay, our experience was a bad one. After having done a party here last year and having had a good time, thought I would do it again. It was as if the lace took a compete three 60. The food was...

  9. DISAPPOINTED BEYOND BELIEF
    I agree with the first bad review. They tend to let all their friends in first and then deal with the people they don't know. The food is super basic and costs almost $10 for 3 strips of dried fish and over cooked fries and soda. The lanes are constantly keeping the equipment and you have to wait forever for service to get your bowling back. They always say upstairs is not available but here come...

  11. Best bowling food in the city......
    I bowled here for two years before moving to another league but, I will always give much love to Gail. I was always right at home at Harlem lanes. Workers are very well mannered and very helpful. I give Kudos to both young owners for their wisdom in making this feel like a family run business. Please keep up the good work....

  12. horrible service
    I went here to have a good time play and have some drinks. Didnt get a chance to do any of that. From the door I had a horrible service got me very annoyed. when I first got here a gentleman had told us to wait. I had to wait for who ever was behind the desk to come back from the bathroom. ( that wasnt a problem).. we waited 20 minutes she still never came, but at this time he saw a group of...

  13. We had a BLAST!!!!!!!
    The atmosphere was so cool. The drinks were good, the food was surprisingly really very good!!! Bowling alley food usually is the worst but they put that "sista girl" touch on the menu and worked it. The staff invited us (a party of 12, thirty something woman) upstairs after the lanes closed to party with them a few others we were partying and having a great time. I can't wait to go back!! " A ...

  14. Loved it!
    I went to Harlem Lanes last night (a Thursday) for a birthday party and it was SO fun! The couches were comfortable to chill in (for people both bowling and not) the bar was great, the staff was attentive. One of the owners was chatting with us and she was super friendly. I came up from way downtown and it was totally worth it. I would highly recommend for a party situation (adults or kids)- o...

  15. Atmosphere
    I loved my Harlem Lanes experience. From the moment I stepped in the door I realized that Harlem had finally come up! I don't usually enjoy bowling, but my nieces and nephews wanted to go so bad that I had to give it a chance. When I stepped off the elevator, it was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I am so used to going to bowling alley's with musty smoke filled carpet and nasty, smelly s...

  18. Harlem Lanes is the place to be and be seen.
    If your a young professional and u want a place to lounge and have fun then this is a great place. It's chic, the food is tasty, the bouncers are attractive, the bartenders are generous, the staff is friendly, the lounges are comfortable, and it's affordable.

  20. The Sorry Lanes
    I went to the lanes of 4/16/2006 and the time wait for a lane was not bad. However in the middle of our bowling game the lane shut down due to that the staff was shuttinmg down the computers while people were bowling as well as shutting off the lights. I had to wait 20 minutes for a manager. The staff was busy chatting with one another and on their cell phones. The security was not helpful at all...
