I bowled here for two years before moving to another league but, I will always give much love to Gail. I was always right at home at Harlem lanes. Workers are very well mannered and very helpful. I give Kudos to both young owners for their wisdom in making this feel like a family run business. Please keep up the good work....

Pros: Friendly atmosphere, good music, great food and great lounge area.

Cons: approach too short.

I went here to have a good time play and have some drinks. Didnt get a chance to do any of that. From the door I had a horrible service got me very annoyed. when I first got here a gentleman had told us to wait. I had to wait for who ever was behind the desk to come back from the bathroom. ( that wasnt a problem).. we waited 20 minutes she still never came, but at this time he saw a group of a bunch of young girls and decided to help them which is rediculous. when we could have taken care of us first. They had just gotten there oppose to us waiting a while. Then he took a gentlman money cause he wanted additional time again we are still here he straight ignored us. The girl finally came from her bathroom break and had tend to them young girls again cause they wanted to add one more person we decided to leave and never recommend this place to anyone. they take care who ever they want to take care of. no common courtesy what so ever no good customer service skills. they are the worst to me!!!! I mean the place look nice dont get me wrong its just the people, the workers there I couldnt stand!

Pros: looks nice to have fun

Cons: horrible service

The atmosphere was so cool. The drinks were good, the food was surprisingly really very good!!! Bowling alley food usually is the worst but they put that "sista girl" touch on the menu and worked it. The staff invited us (a party of 12, thirty something woman) upstairs after the lanes closed to party with them a few others we were partying and having a great time. I can't wait to go back!! " A big fat "Job well done." to the owners. I was pleased and I've been spreading the word.

Pros: ambience, music, service, food

Cons: long wait to bowl

I went to Harlem Lanes last night (a Thursday) for a birthday party and it was SO fun! The couches were comfortable to chill in (for people both bowling and not) the bar was great, the staff was attentive. One of the owners was chatting with us and she was super friendly. I came up from way downtown and it was totally worth it. I would highly recommend for a party situation (adults or kids)- or even just to bowl.

I loved my Harlem Lanes experience. From the moment I stepped in the door I realized that Harlem had finally come up! I don't usually enjoy bowling, but my nieces and nephews wanted to go so bad that I had to give it a chance. When I stepped off the elevator, it was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I am so used to going to bowling alley's with musty smoke filled carpet and nasty, smelly shoes from 1987; but not at Harlem Lanes. I don't even know how to put into words the fun I had and the overall experience....you have got to see it for yourselves! I highly recommend Harlem Lanes to anyone who is looking for more than just bowling!

Pros: Ambience, Courteous Staff, Delicious Food

Cons: None

If your a young professional and u want a place to lounge and have fun then this is a great place. It's chic, the food is tasty, the bouncers are attractive, the bartenders are generous, the staff is friendly, the lounges are comfortable, and it's affordable.

Pros: big screen t.v.'s, great social scene, convenient location
