North Bowl in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“North Bowl is an amazing place to book an event or spend time with friends and loved ones. My Financu00e9 and I did our engagement photos here. We were amazed at how many fun things there are to do. We really enjoyed the photo both, arcade games, pool table, and of course the bowling! The manager Adam is genuinely one of the nicest people Iu2019ve ever worked with and Mariah helped us get everything scheduled. The staff was ”

“Iu2019ve been to many bad bowling alleys but this isnu2019t one of them. Love the retro vibe. Been twice and have had a great time. Cash only for bowling but there is an ATM. Way better value than other spots in the area”

“North Bowl is a great spot to bowl, listen to good music and the food/drinks are decent! Loved the retro theme and older music playing. Will definitely be coming back in the future.”

“I came out Tuesday night with my wife and kids to celebrate my birthday. As soon as we walked in, the staff was very friendly and attentive and got us set up on our lane. The atmosphere was very lively and my kids were very excited to bowl. My three year old got her own dinosaur ramp which she loved and my wife got her Photo Booth fix with 5 reels of film! Our server, Rachel, was outgoing and helpful, suggesting a gr”

“Place is nice only suck they take cash only to for bowling and shoes but somehow take tap and card for drink and food payments . They charge you additional money to add people to the game if you already started the game which is dumb you should be allowed to add the names . Also no real food options for when you bring your children and very small for adults . $15 for 6 wings . Very small portion of food as well . Eve”

“The bartender acts like he hates everyone. I have never in my life been to a u201ccash onlyu201d bowling alley. They check your I.D which is normal, then take your picture. They make you give 1 of your sneakers to get the bowling shoes. You have to have a card on file to order anything. God forbid you start having too much fun, security comes over to watch over you and your friends like your children. And the best part, I wa”

“My wife and I are new to Philly and recently stopped by to try a new spot. We sat at the bar and werenu2019t greeted or acknowledged. I politely asked one of the bartenders for a drink menu and said u201cexcuse meu201d to get her attention. She responded, u201cHold on, Iu2019m busy.u201d Moments later, someone else walked up next to us and was immediately acknowledged and served. My wife was upset, so we left. Unfortunately, this was our fi”

“First I want to say we paid $36 for 3 people, 3 shoe rentals & 2 games. It was priced so well! I would definitely go back on the strength of the price. But good vibes. Fun time. The soda tasted funny, but the food looked so good, especially the wings & tacos. I didnu2019t get to try it, but it looked & smelled good. Bowling was super fun, I donu2019t like that you share the seating area with the other lane, but the people ne”
