Bowlmor Times Square

My agency held a celebratory event on a weekday and it was a great success! We were approximately 70 attendees and the staff did not miss a beat. Upon entry we were instructed to the 3^rd floor where we immediately got our bowling shoes (you do not need to give your shoes as a deposit) then proceeded to the Canadian Club lounge area. It’s a large area with tons of neon lights and 2 big screen TV’s. It has 6 bowling lanes, couches and tables for resting. Two long tables served as our buffet tables. Food was overflowing — just how I like it! The buffet tables had a variety of items — pizza, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, pita and hummus, tortilla chips and salsa, meatballs in marinara sauce, chicken skewers, chicken wings and more… I’m sure I missed a few items. For drinks, there were several pitchers of soft drinks available. If you wanted an alcoholic beverage, there was a hostess walking around taking orders. Music was loud enough to hear the tunes and talk without screaming at one another.
Overall, polite and attentive staff. Clean venue. All in all, a great bowling venue.

Went here on a Monday night for a double date. I cannot exaggerate how slow the service was.
We did the Monday Mayhem deal, which was a decent deal for unlimited bowling and shoe rentals. But after our first game of bowling, our lane just closed down! We asked 2 different waitresses what was going on, and if they could get the mechanic or manager to fix it. This lasted for almost an hour, with them informing us that they’ve told the manager 3 times. That service signal on that machine? Pointless.
Our waitress was nice enough to offer a free pitcher of beer for us waiting, but really? Getting drinks in general also was slow that it wasn’t worth the trouble. Drinks came in like 20 – 30 minutes later after we ordered, same thing with the check.
Overall, if the service was quicker and the drinks weren’t so overpriced, I’d give this a better review.

If you want to pay an exorbitant amount of money for overpriced, watered down drinks, terrible food, and to bowl for an hour while listening to the worst music on the planet, go ahead.
The people who work there are catty and don’t pay much attention to the customers.
I reluctantly trekked all the way to Midtown for a birthday party here, and will be avoiding this cesspool of disappointment from now on. The whole place is just trying too hard.

this place is top notch for a bowling alley! the best ive ever seen! they had a different theme for each alley! the place was huge! bring a date! lots of fun and drinks! the waitress will help you every few minuits! the food is crazy good too! theres a resturaunt inside or you can order while your bowling! my kinda place! its a bit pricey though so dont show up with ten bucks! but i guarantee you will have fun! give it a shot!

I came here last night ¼/​16. It was my Birthday! :)
Luckily for us, being that it was a Monday, they had a special going on. $ 22 (incl. shoes) for unlimited bowling. Sounds good. I had a party of 6! I enjoyed myself
I knocked off a star because the music selection SUCKED. It was so bad that I pulled out personal headphones while I was bowling lol. Everyone knows, when you have great music, it sets the tone for the night. Just cause it’s monday, don’t hold out on the great music!
Other than that, I had fun. I enjoyed my $ 8 Mac and cheese.

I was here for a holiday party so I can’t really comment on the pricing. It’s a great place to go bowling though. There’s a few floors and you have to check in at the desk before you go upstairs. I think they were checking ID’s for drinking age but I’m not positive. I had to show ID regardless because the party was a private one.
It’s a nice set up here. There are a few large rooms with lanes as well as some smaller rooms that are themed to the boroughs of the city. There’s plenty of bars as well to get drinks from. There was finger foods that were included with the party but I’m pretty sure you can get food for a few people as well. There was chicken fingers, nachos, pizza, etc.
The lanes itself are all computerized so it keeps score for you. I still remember having someone keep score but I guess most places are probably digital now.
It did seem somewhat pricey but again, I didn’t pay attention to the pricing.

This review is based on the HORRIBLY RUDE ATTITUDE and treatment our group received by Tatiana on Nov. 28^th.
We spent over $ 140 just on bowling. When we were at the register to pay, my bf asked how much it was. Tatiana, the girl at the register mumbled. We obviously couldn’t hear with all the loud music on the background. We asked again and she rolled her eyes and screamed out.
My bf gave her his credit card and after swiping, she threw the pen & receipt at my bf to sign.
I mean I understand that u don’t wanna work day after Thanksgiving. But if u don’t wanna be there to work, leave! Don’t ruin customers’ day with ur rudeness!
Place itself isn’t bad. It’s expensive but it’s TS.

My company just had an outing here and it was fantastic. Lanes are beautifully maintained, scoring pos is simple and easy to use, and even the food was surprisingly tasty. Unilocalers complain about the crowd but c’mon you’re in the heart of Times Square, what do you expect! Shoes were clean and easy to get and I love not having to hand over my own shoes as a deposit.

Halloween at Bowlmor was super fun! Organized by SONICBOOMBOX, they gave out free tickets to priced all the way to $ 20 at the door. I got early bird tickets which were $ 5 a pop, not including fees.
Doors opened at 9:00PM and the line was relatively long by 8:30PM. The hubs and I made it in as one of the lucky 300 to get a free $ 3 Bowlmor arcade game card and try a sample of the Not Your Father’s Root Beer. Went through ID check, went up to the third floor via an elevator, and the front desk merely glanced at my tickets. Then we got our shoes and staked out a lane for our first game of night! The third floor has 24 lanes of bowling, a small array of arcade games, and also a dance floor. Played a total of 3 games throughout the night and also paired up with another couple so that more people could play at a time.
We hit the arcade and played a game of Mario Kart and skeeball and that was our $ 3. There were quite a few consoles to play Super Smash Bros etc which was a nice touch. The dance floor was hopping and the DJ was good. Plenty of couches to sit if you get tired and standing tables for drinks/​bites too. The specials on the chalk board by the bar and the root beer were all gone by 11PM and I had just grabbed the last Speakeasy Sangria (16oz cupz) aka Boatbox white sangria with some fruit and sprite for $ 13. I didn’t realize there were Barcadi specials for $ 6…
Definitely had a lot of fun looking at all the costumes, bowling, playing arcade games. It’s a hit or miss with the shoes, could be new, could be old, but the place was pretty nice and well kept.

I went here at 3:00pm on an empty Friday night. I had fun with my friend but I have few a complaints about the place.
I was expecting to pay the 3pm rate for bowling (7 $ a game and 6 $ for shoes).
They charge PER PERSON, and charged a different rate since we played from 3−5pm.
They charged us $ 10.00 a game per person (two of us) plus 6 $ shoes amounted to $ 93.00 (about 46 $ each) for four rounds of bowling. Thats pretty expensive for just four games for two people.
The Bartender was annoying. He starred at my friends military I. D for what seemed like an unnecessary awkward 3 minutes, as if women are not in the military –_​-​. He wasn’t friendly and the drinks were weak. 13 $ for a decent size cocktail.
Our bowling alley attendant was super nice! We loved him. They have various sized bowling balls and the alleys were clean.
The arcade had great quality games. Zombie shooting games, Mario gocart, Shoot basketball hoops, table hockey, and more! Games were anywhere from $ 1.00 to $ 3.50. Just refill your card. Increments of 5 $ $ 10 $ 20
Bathrooms where clean, area is spacious. Great for groups
Tips:
No Coat Check (atleast I didnt notice one)
If the coupon deal is from 3−5pm, make sure you finish by 5pm or else you will pay full price!
They don’t enforce the rule of wearing their yucky bowling shoes.
You can eat and take your drinks anywhere!
Overall: This place is overpriced. Recommended only if you have a coupon deal. Good for Groups, Pre-​game before you come, Have fun :-)

The summer bowling deal was great, but not entirely at this alley. The desk is slow to get you a lane or shoes and at times had no one there. Many times over the summer, lanes weren’t available until after the designated summer games time. They rarely hold lanes for retail availability.
Outside of that, the areas are themed and make for an interesting ambiance, but are either hard to see the lanes, very hot, or have people on top of you. The lanes are not like regulation ones so it is a different bowling experience than other alleys. If you somehow can make it in on a Monday night, that is a good deal, but still overpriced overall. They can do a better job and be on top of the stuff more. Not really worth it, maybe try the lanes at PABT down the block.

The place was nicely decorated with modern music and the lanes was well furnished, however the only down fall was that it was very pricey, you had to play per person per game. For example, if 2 people went to play and you played 2 games it’s equivalent to paying for 4 people for 1 game. Also, each game is like 12 dollars and 6 dollars for shoe rental.
But if you decided to go on Monday they have an all you can play. So, if you want to save money then go on monday.

Take it easy on the salt guys!
Other than that, death by bacon sliders and chicken fingers were on point.

First time here with my company and i had a BLAST! Not a big fan of bowling but with a full service bar and friendly staff? Who isn’t! Very big space with two levels of bowling, tennis table, and pool.
I will be coming back here with my friends to party up and bowl some more.

I always have a GREAT experience here. This place is located in the theater district over looking Times Square, next to dirty hotdogs and pizza this is about as New York as you can get.
The lanes light up, the pins glow in the dark, and top 40 music fills the air. It’s always a party here. The staff smiles and is eager to assist. Today the children were hungry and loud and it was okay because everyone was loud, our package includes unlimited pizza and drinks.
This is a great place for kids birthday parties and daycamp events, during the day this is a children’s happy place… nok hockey table on deck.
Four stars… because the nachos and guacamole was bland.

Terrible experience.
I tried to use the Bowl Summer Pass around 6:30. The front desk told me no available lane until 7:30 and i needed to wait. I got a pager and waited. At 7:30, i went up to check with them and they told me lanes are available but they need to «clean it». Finally, 8:02 (right after the pass expired), they told me lanes are available, but i need to pay the regular price.
Two girls and a manager were helping me. One girl was very nice and sympathetic while a shorter girl with dental braces was very condescending. The manager wasn’t helpful. I explained to her that i was here 6:30, waited 1.5 hours and was told lanes were available 7:30. She kept repeating:
«the pass is only good till 8pm, and it’s after 8 now»
«the pass is only good till 8pm, and it’s after 8 now»
«the pass is only good till 8pm, and it’s after 8 now. You took the risk of waiting and failed»
I believe they are actively discouraging Summer Pass users from using the pass (after we paid, of course). They make us wait long time, limit # of open lanes, show us attitudes, or flat out refuse to honor the pass.
I am willing to pay more for a nice bowling experience, but i do not want to pay and be treated like a second-​class citizen!

A joke of a bowling alley with expensive drinks. But it’s awfully convenient, and the Summer Games promotion makes it irresistible to go check out ($ 35 buys you 3 off peak games _​a day_​, plus shoe rental, through september.)
I dislike that I can’t always find the correct combination of rental ball weight + hand size depending on what lane i’m on.
Skip the food — if you must, get a basket of fries. And drink the cheap beer — again, if you must.

I went to Bowlmor Lanes on 42^nd St. (Times Square) for the beginning of Memorial weekend with my boyfriend on a friday aroundddd…8 P.M., and it was like totally empty! And this was unplanned… We happened to just be walking by and my boyfriend asked, «Hey, you wanna bowl?» …Yea lets do it! Ahhh nothing like spontaneous fun!
We went in expecting it to be a ZOO, since we were going to bowl in times square on a friday night! Buttttt it was amazingggg; one of the best experiences ive had! Really, REALLY, fun! Going with alot of people, I know, seems cool, but if you have a significant other, bring him/​her here, and rent a lane, order some food and drinks, play a one-​on-​one, and get in some good, fun, quality time :).
We played one game of bowling and one game of pool. The employees were very helpful, and very cool; they even asked us which game we wanted on the big screen at the end of our bowling lane. We had big juicy bacon cheeseburgers! The french fries were awesome! My boyfriend ordered a drink… we forgot the name, but it was pretty good. Overall, the place was clean; the really loud music made the place lively; great customer service! I loved coming here with my boyfriend and I would definitely come back.
We are coming back!
**Oh, and this place is also family friendly; we saw a lot of families and kids bowling!

The reviews here are pretty mixed but I come here on WEEKDAY nights and have a great time! During the week its empty! Its perfect to chill out, bowl, have drinks and just act goofy because they play great music. You don’t have to feel embarrassed or self conscious because their really aren’t any pro bowlers here at this time of night. Everything is swift and fast in regards to getting a lane, getting shoes and getting a drink. As much as I like it I wouldn’t dare come here on a Friday or Saturday night as it must be a circus. During the week around 9pm and after you’ll get some tourist and some local New Yorkers but thats about it. The staff has always been very friendly every time I come and I honestly can’t complain. I will definitely continue to come here on weekday nights!

Une idée d’after work à New York City? Un bowling bien sur !
Bowlmor Times Square est comme son nom l’indique hyper bien situé à Manhattan. L’espace est gigantesque, si bien qu’il est vraiment simple de trouver une piste en semaine à 19h
L’endroit est propre, pas trop bruyant, avec de la musique et des clips qui passent sur des écrans géants devant la piste. Les quilles sont fluorescentes, l’effet est vraiment sympa.
Comme dans tout bon bowling, la nourriture est bien sur horrible et les boissons sont passables. On né vient pas là pour manger ou boire, on vient surtout là pour jouer.
Le rapport qualité/​prix est bien, surtout lorsque vous bénéficiez d’un forfait illimité pour certains soirs. De quoi faire la fête jusqu’à la fin de la soirée sans se ruiner.

In the heart of the theatre district of times square. I’ve walked by this place so many times without noticing it. Probably because you need to take an elevator from the street level to get to one of the multiple floors of lanes.
Decided to go on a midweek date with my lady and used the Unilocal app to locate the closest bowling ally near my office.
Can’t beat it. The place is roomy and has some really cool themed lanes. Great place for parties and corporate events.
The boneless wings were tasty and the service is second to none. Bars are huge and located near every lane plus lane service will take your order so you never need to stop playing.
Saw some new ping pong tables setup in another room. Need to throw down next visit.
Check out weekly specials and events.
All the staff were nice and helpful.
