Tigard Bowl

By far the friendliest bowling center in the Portland area. It’s nice to go to an alley that is focused on bowling, and not arcade games and kids parties. The owners are amazing and the lanes are well taken care of. I may have found my new go-​to.

I had a great bowling experience last night with my teenagers. The ambiance and hospitality was great. I really enjoyed the employee named Connor. He was kind, a definite people person and he is the employee whom made our experience worth coming back. We enjoyed the music too! Thank you Tigard bowl for employing such personable employees. Jason was great too! I live at the Oregon Coat and we do not get the same experience here. Kudo’s to Connor and thanks again for your amazing hospitality! I highly recommend this establishment.

Since the a/​c was fixed, I find myself here about 5 X’s a week. My son, wife and I LOVE bowling here. The staff is way more friendly than I thought, mostly because I took the time to TALK to them instead of at them. They know our names, our shoe sizes and even got me to order a ball for my boy and I!
We even plan to bowl in a family league this Fall. Doesn’t get any better than this for quality time and a great hangout spot.
Thanks Tigard Bowl!

One staff member was a bit rude to my kids that were bowling there. They payed to play 2 games and they were in the second game and decided to grab food while they were playing so when they were sitting there eating, the staff member asked in not the nicest of tone if they were done, they explained no they just wanted to eat real quick while playing and she said «well we have people waiting on lanes and I don’t see a lot of playing going on so u need to hurry up!» Why weren’t the other people chastised for eating and drinking and taking their time? Just rude and did not make a good first impression. I would now rather spend my money at Big Als were the staff is way nicer!

Good fun. Very nice people and the food is high quality bowling ally food. All good except the cheese sticks, no joke. I got my first turkey too! We will be back.

I was not sure about this bowling thing when my friends asked me to join them, but what FUN! Tigard Bowl staff was friendly and helpful. They even came down to encourage me as I was playing. Good family fun or adult beverage fun too. Check it out its a good workout on top of the fun

We come on Wednesdays often and we love it! Such a great place with great deals and a great atmosphere. We love it!

Helpful staff. Good equipment, and fair prices. Just a friendly crowd of people.

I have been a few times with my job. When we have brought a person in a wheelchair they had a ramp for the bowling ball. Went today with my son and asked for a ramp and was told that they did not have ramps. Guess I will no longer be able to bring my consumers in who are developmentally delayed to bowl here as there are no ramps.

I brought my staff out here for a team building outing. We had a nice time and staff was friendly and helpful. Menu selection was good to order items for an individual or a group. Full bar, plus soft drinks. Overall a grade «A» experience! Thank you Tigard Bowl!

I have to say this is my favorite hole in the wall bowling alleys… still have a pair of the «Tigard Bowl» socks they used to give you when you rented a pair of their bowling shoes! Nothing fancy with this place, just a good ol’ bowling alley that’s open late and always has a lane open for you.

Cool place to bowl. A fair noise an music volume for what you’d expect from a bowling alley.
Friendly attendants and best of all a nice and appropriate music choice!

Heh. The first time we went to Tigard Bowl I thought it was kind of a dive. I mean it’s obviously been around awhile, it’s kind of dirty, I sort of felt like I needed a shower after being there.
But then we went again, because we’re enrolled in the kids bowl free deal in the summer, and I even bought the supplemental parents’ deal. My kiddo loves bowling, what can I say?
And I think it grew on me. Because the staff was, each time, super friendly and helpful, and it’s a smaller place as bowling alleys go — which is just fine with us. And it’s pretty mellow — which my son likes, as he is not big on chaos and noise. And we can always find balls that suit us. So going during the day is where it’s at for us — we’re really liking Tigard Bowl now. I think we might even go again today.
Note that I am reviewing as a parent and definitely a non-​professional bowler. I have no idea if it’s great league-​wise or if you’re a serious bowler. But for kids who like a more calm place to bowl? at least during the day I’d say this is a good fit.

I haven’t been bowling in almost two or three years, and it’s something that I used to love doing.
A game is cheap, the shoes are cheap, the fun you can have screwing around with your friends is priceless. The place is small, but late on a friday night it isn’t super packed, so no problems there. Nothing seems to be broken, and the place doesn’t look worn down or anything.
I really enjoyed coming by this place, playing a game, and hanging out with people. It’s a fun time that’s not so expensive.

small, messy, old and everything looks like it was done to save money. Compared ti wilsonville lanes this place is absolute crap. And to top it off they charge 4.00 bucks that is very exspensive. I would never go here again unless they did a complete remodel. Like i said everything there is done on the cheap

Tigard Bowl did a remodel a while back, upgraded their lanes, and equipment and is non-​smoking. All plusses in my book! I have been here a few times over the years, the most recent trip being last weekend with some friends. It is a nice, comfortable atmosphere. It is clean, the workers are friendly and the equipment worked!
There was a variety of people there, ranging from some young punk-​style bowlers, to a family with little kids, and a couple of guys who looked pretty serious about their game. We were there with some other middle aged adults and we just had a good time, played a couple rounds of not-​so-​good scores, hung out and visited. The music was fun, but not TOO loud, though they did turn it up a bit when it was time for glo-​bowling.
Tigard Bowl is not a seedy, run down bowling alley like some I have been to. It is small, but clean and friendly. A great place for kids, families, friends, groups or whoever just wants to have a little bowling fun.

Was it just me or were we the oldest people in there?
It was a Wednesday night. Top 40 pumpin’ through the speakers and the typical glow-​in-​the-​dark décor everywhere.
High schoolers abundant.
It is not a large bowling facility and definitely a bit divey. However, with the small selection of beer and wine that they do indeed have… it’s cheap… and cheap is good.
2 beers and a glass of wine for $ 10…oh heck yes.
The bowling is fairly inexpensive here as well. All in all not horrible… not delightful. Just A-​OK Tigard Bowl.

OK –try and remember back to when you had an open mind. Are you there?
Okay, here we go.
This place is seriously small, goofy, amazingly hokey and one more thing: ENTIRELY adorable!
I would so go here again. We had a couple beers, bowled some shitty games (day after ⁴⁄₂₀) AND had a fabulous time.
We were the oldest patrons here (uh, decades) but we felt right at home and had a fun, sexy and enjoyable couple o’ hours.
I would recommend it for a super casual date.
Beer runs under $ 4 bucks a cup/​bottle and the 3 item menu (dog/​nacho/​popcorn) is cheap city. All tolled — under $ 40.00 night.
Discovered that I inconsistent bowler — a gutter ball, a single… followed by a couple of strikes, a spare and some really sucky 3 pins. I hate losing, but I still loved this place.
If you go on a date with a contender or the love of your life, you get the added bonus of checking out your partner’s ass OVER AND OVER AND OVER…
Wear other people’s shoes, stick your fingers in foreign holes… too strange not to love… give it whirl bay bee.
Sunday night is the bargain (8 to midnight).

Old fashioned bowling at its best. This place will not overwhelm your senses with bright lights, music and video. It is just pure, simple, enjoyable bowling.
We bowled here on a Sunday morning not too long ago for $ 2 a game and had a great time and the equipment worked great. Even I’m not up for drinking at that hour but I did notice they had some Lagunitas in the cooler. So my beer belly definitely knows we will be happy at this place in the latter hours of the day.
Stopped by the pro shop yesterday and the employee was very friendly and helpful. While I like to bowl recreationally, I’ve only done a few leagues, (beer leagues mind you) and consider myself a novice. My post work brain conveniently chose this moment to stop working and I could not articulate what I was looking for. Before I could resort to gibberish and drooling, the employee asked a few quick questions, found exactly what I was looking for and saved me from further embarrassing myself.
I will probably come back to check out the Quartermania at some point, $ 6 cover charge for quarter bowling and shoe rental each. $ 1 Bud Light, nachos or popcorn. Prices are on par with most the bowling alleys in town. $ 3 Monday-​Friday 9 – 5, Open bowling, $ 4 per game, Glo (or cosmic)-$ 4.50 per game. Shoe rental is $ 3.25 with socks. I can’t comment as to the shoe rental because I have my own shoes, but I’m guessing you get to keep the socks per another review. Any place that gives you socks is cool in my book!

Came here on a Sunday night after a wedding rehearsal and had a great time! It was Glow-​in-​the-​Dark bowling for $ 2 per game and $ 3.25 for shoes. The workers stayed right till midnight so we could finish our games. It was a great find via mobile Unilocal since none of us were familiar with the area.
Note: August 21, 2010 is Customer Appreciation Day. $ 1 games, free shoe rental, live band from 6−10pm, free food 2−7pm and door prizes. Open from 9−1am. Sounds like fun!
