Bay View Bowl
📍 Bay View, WI
12 wooden lanes in a 1925-built Bay View building with automatic scoring, bumper bowling, glow bowling nights, pool tables, arcade games, foosball, darts, and a jukebox. Hall rental available for events.
Bar is a bit lacking/ slow but bowling is good. Pool tables and some arcade to
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with kids aged 5 and up who can appreciate the historic setting and glow bowling feature. Bumpers cover the youngest bowlers. Daytime and early evening slots are calmer — late nights skew toward a bar crowd. Parents with teens should that recent reviews mention rude counter staff interactions.

“Came in on a Tuesday night twice - my night off from Target. Bowling is always fun and the lanes are nice but both times the bartender was really drunk and loud - it was pretty annoying. We were ordering doubles that were more like quadruples and he gives a lot away so don't come here if you plan to drive home. Probably won't be back again coz the vibe isn't for me. But if you want cheap strong drinks this is for you.”

“1st time here. Brought my teens and it was a nice little spot. The man at the bowling counter, Matt, was incredibly rude and said something rather inappropriate when my 16 year old asked for help at our lane cause the ball was stuck. Super packed and busy and bartenders were both hard to get to take my order. If Matt had not been so rude and said what he said we might have come back.... but it's a hard pass!! Do better man!!”
