Garden Bowl

I was in town working and reached out to reserve a lane for myself and some coworkers. The manager got back to me very quickly, I got a lane, then when I showed up all the staff members were super nice and accommodating. The lanes worked great, we met some nice people. Overall a great experience!

What a great time! Bowling, pizza, beer, concerts.. Garden Bowl truly has it all! A great establishment! Staff are friendly, bowling is affordable and the pizza is amazing. They have a great bar and also have lots of concerts here too

I had a great time here! This bowling alley is 100+ years old and it’s a great spot to grab a bite and bowl with friends. Parking is behind the building or on the street. Cost to bowl is per hour.

I joined a bowling league here Thursday evenings and it’s a great way to meet people. It’s a large mixed age group of people and always busy. Domestic beers are $2.50 if you’re in the league. The bar service is quick. The pizza is so good and sold by the slice!

I took 75 high school seniors on a bowling field trip and we had a great time! Madison was really responsive and flexible while booking our event, and all the staff were great - friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend it!

Great! Good service.. Lanes worked perfectly. Good pizza 🍕

So much fun. My sister's and I planned this as our last stop of the night for my sister's bachelorette party and I was sooooo fun. The pizza was amazing and all the workers were so helpful (that I could remember --- after all it was a bachelorette party 😂😂😂). 10 out of 10

We visited the garden Bowl yesterday for a team meeting. there was quite a few of us about 100 and we took up about half of the place. We had ordered pizza and beer and pop and they were very quick to refill everything as it was needed. The staff was very friendly and understanding even though there was 100 of us arriving all at once and ordering drinks and food.

Garden bowl is the oldest bowling alley in America!

Heard about the Garden Bowl from a friend, so glad we did. Its a cozy alley with 16 lanes, a bar and a stage setup for bands over top of the center bunch of lanes.

Great place to go with a group if friends for a good time!!!

This is such a cool bowling alley! They have a great disco bowl and regular bowl. They also play good music. It isn’t just a great atmosphere but also a historic bowling alley with it being the oldest continuously operating bowling alley in the United States! Don’t let that discourage you though since the lanes are up to date with the newest automatic scoring systems and the whole alley has been well maintained. They also have great food! Sadly when we were there they didn’t have a band performing, but sometimes they’ll have a band performing on a stage above lanes as you bowl.

Great bowling, great music, great pizza!

Anyplace you can listen to Los Tigres del Norte, toss back a Modelo and have awesome pizza automatically gets 5 stars in my book! (Flashback to when my dad did dances at Dells in Lansing).

Looking for a fun night out in Detroit? Look no further than Garden Bowl. This historic bowling alley has been a staple of the city since 1913, and it's still going strong. The lanes are well-maintained and easy to use, and the atmosphere is lively and fun. Garden Bowl is a Detroit institution, and for good reason. The bar offers a wide variety of craft beers and cocktails, and the pizza is some of the best in the city. Overall, a great spot for a night out with friends.

We celebrated our cousin's birthday and had a great time

Nice place. Parking is convenient. The staff is helpful and friendly. Hard to find both these days.
Small space but worth planning a trip and enjoying the atmosphere. The ambiance was great. Great music.

Nice clean place to bowl. Updated electronics. I hadn't been there in 30 yrs. And nothing changed but the paint. It brought back a lot of good memories. After bowling there are plenty of restaurants around. They also have pizza place in the front. We didn't get a chance to try it. Also they rent the lanes by the hour.
