Great place for bowling. The true OG retro feel. Definetly could use a bit of updates to turn it into a better hangout spot rather then just bowling but overall a great time can be had here. Good food and drinks and reasonable pricing. Would be great if they had different promotions for different days but cant complain too much.

A very fun experience but the place needs an upgrade. I do love the retro vibe but you can still maintain that with a slightly modernised offering in terms of drinks and snacks and an overall cleaner facility. Service was fine.

BB is such a fun place to be with your friends, on any night of the week. Greg’s the best and always takes care of our group. And they make the best nachos!

I’ve been to this alley several times although this time was a wonderful experience The charming young woman at the front desk was both helpful and friendly, sharing information like it was her favorite hobby. She turned our outing into a fantastic experience for my daughter and me. And a special shoutout to the staff for their entertaining stories about the old bowling alley. I highly recommend this place!

Best unique takeaways: Authentic retro vibe; clean, well-spaced lanes; both 5-pin & 10-pin Friendly, helpful staff and attentive party hosts Per-minute pricing (4 people ≈ 2 games in ~54 mins feels fair) Good late-night option (licensed bar, bottled drinks after midnight) Kid-friendly: bumpers/ramps; wheelchair access to the approach Popular for birthdays & leagues; pro shop on site Food standouts: poutine, nachos, giant cookies Roomy—plenty of lanes; not sardine-packed. Old-school bowling done right. Clean, well-spaced lanes, helpful staff (Greg was great), and fair per-minute pricing—our group of four finished two games in ~54 minutes without feeling rushed. Family-friendly with both 5-pin and 10-pin; bumpers/ramps for kids and wheelchair access to the approach. Late nights are easy too: licensed bar, bottled drinks, and snack-bar standouts (poutine, nachos, giant cookies). Big plus: they actually cater to almost any event—Child Birthday Parties, Teen Birthday Parties, Youth Sports Team Parties, Adult Parties (birthdays/anniversaries/any celebration), Group/Company Events, and Fundraisers. Hosts keep it turnkey so parents and organizers can just bring the cake and enjoy. It’s vintage, not flashy—the décor and washrooms could use love, and a screen hiccuped once—but staff sorted it fast. Tons of lanes, active leagues, and a pro shop, so you’re not crammed in. Pro tip: confirm when the timer starts so the per-minute billing stays crystal clear. If you want real bowling with good people and smooth lanes (not arcade chaos), this is the spot.
