I wish I would’ve taken more pictures but then again when you’re having fun, your phone isn’t in your hand! My little sister got engaged, two nights prior in the city and we had family and friends in town from all over the country. Plus, it was her new fiancΓ©β€˜s birthday! The bar food was made fresh and delicious; we ordered several cheese sticks, chicken tenders and pizzas. The bartenders were on it! Our mixed drinks were fantastic- even though the bar was packed, we didn’t wait long for drinks at all. We did have a group of 14 and were unable to make reservations earlier in the day, but it actually gave us time to mingle, snack and socialize. Every person we encountered in this establishment from the second we walked in the door to the time we needed to return our bowling shoes was friendly, happy and truly glad we were there! My next trip to the city will definitely include a bowling night at The Gutter.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

This is an excellent choice for families with older children who want a fun bowling experience with a vintage bar atmosphere. The staff goes above and beyond to make kids feel welcome, though the bar setting makes it better suited for tweens/teens rather than very young children.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Make reservations if possible, especially for large groups as walk-ins may face waits
⏰Try the quesadillas over the pizza based on food quality reviews
🎟️Expect a busy, lively bar atmosphere with multiple TVs and adult beverages
πŸš—Staff are exceptionally accommodating and helpful with children

β€œThis bowling alley was nice. I love the vintage vibes. It had games and a huge bar. The staff were all nice and pleasant. They had several tvs with different options to watch different things. The pizza was not all that but the quesadillas was good. I enjoyed the fact they had hard ciders because not many bars or establishments do. Definitely a spot to come to on a late night and just have a drink for real even if you don’t plan on bowling.”

β€œThe manager Deli was a real life superhero and completely saved the day when my young son and I drove two hours to catch the Squid Games experience located next door to the Gutter and found it unexpectedly closed. He saw us outside in the cold and welcomed us into the Gutter. Treated my young son like a little prince and showed him the best time. Can’t thank you enoughβ€”we will be back!!”

β€œGutter LES is the best location compared to the others. I was here last night with my friend, and I’ve also been here before last year. The staff is really nice, and the overall vibe is always great. Definitely my favorite Gutter location.”
