ââī¸âī¸âī¸âī¸âī¸ I would like to give a huge positive review to Winnetka Bowling Alley for being so welcoming and inclusive. They graciously allowed our clients-individuals with special needs who are in recovery-to come out, have fun, and experience a healthy, positive way of living life. Recovery is about learning balance, connection, and joy, and Winnetka Bowling Alley provided a safe and supportive space for that to happen. A special shout-out to the front desk staff for their kindness, patience, and support in making this such a great experience for everyone. Thank you so much for helping our clients feel included and for giving them a chance to laugh, relax, and enjoy a genuinely good time. We truly appreciate you!â

âGreat place. We are new to the area and wanted to check out Lane 33 for date night. The staff was super helpful and kind. The lanes were well maintained. The bar was nice and spacious and the bar staff/bartender was helpful and kind. The restrooms were stocked and clean. We only order fries and potatoe skins, so cant say much about the food. Lots of pool tables, plus there are a couple in the lounge. We definitely will be coming back.â
