    Nice facility that was recently remodeled, nice employees, too. They sell a full line of balls and bags. Steve in the pro shop is great and will help you with all your needs.

    An absolutely stellar pinball and arcade inside west county lanes. Most of the pinball machines are limited edition and after playing them, you can tell this operator puts a lot of time and effort into making them very fun to play. The arcade features a fantastic example of all the 1980s games you dreamed of playing. It also features 6 different vector monitor games such as the original atari star wars and tempest! Do not pass this one by. You'll be here for hours!

    Really enjoyed the arcade that has a ton of older games, and the bowling. Great place for kids because they have tons of food options and bumper options for the lanes of course.

    Had a GREAT time at a bowling tournament. Clean establishment. Lanes ran smooth. Brentwood is a kind manager and the staff always had a smile. The remodeled bar / lounge looks great. GO BOWLING !!!!

    Great arcade, very good "bar food" off the grill, and inexpensive bowling! What more do you need from an older, neighborhood entertainment venue?

    Been going here since I was a kid. Recently updated the A/V system, which was welcomed. Has a decent arcade area with a mix of retro and newer games.

    Used to be my goto until I was discriminated against. Instead of saying that they couldn't honor the "bowl for free pass" (even though I called and was there BEFORE 6, with 3 children and there were 3 employees sitting around while one occupied the check-in line ordering food), I was told "there were no lanes open". The best part was that the lady was instructed to tell me that while I was standing right there. I heard the gentleman say "tough luck, it's first come first serve". There were only 4 lanes in use at the time, and I have pictures to prove it. Clearly I got upset, reacted angrily, and the manager on duty, Brentwood as he calls himself, flicked me off in return of me calling their poor business practice out. At the VERY LEAST, all they had to tell me was that because of their lack of work ethic and motivation to perform their job duty, I wouldn't get the free bowl. With the group of kids I had, I would have paid. Instead, they told a group of 5 people, that there were no lanes were open (while the place was evidently slow). Clearly, this is a case of discrimination against the Hispanic community. I will not support a venue in which they treat ANYONE in such a manner, let alone a group of Hispanics. The icing on the cake is when I called to speak to a manager, and of course it was Brentwood, who flicked me off as we left, who got on the phone. I acted like a random customer inquiring about birthday party pricing. He did not hesitate in telling me that some crazy lady (me) was just in the building throwing a fit. I will be sure to spread the horrendous word as I have been. I have already prevented 3 families from visiting this venue. It's experiences like this one that makes small businesses disappear, and I get why.

    Absolutely awful!! Extremely rude workers! I am disabled with MS and am quite a weak person and was not aloud to use lower weight bowling balls!?!? Friend who also had surgery on elbow recently was only aloud to use an 8 pound ball after begging for one! (because 9,8,and 7 pounds are only permitted for children) Food was awful, terribly burnt and over priced! I was extremely disappointed. Never recommend going, unless you’re extremely strong and or like being disappointed.

    Great selection of arcade games. Keep in mind that if you're just there for the arcade, they tend to close early if no one's around to bowl. Best-maintained DDR machine within 5 hours' drive.

  • 5/5 Hollie M. 11 months ago on Google
    Had a great time. The guy at the counter was very helpful when I needed to find my kids' bowl free info!

  • 5/5 Nick C. 1 year ago on Google
    Can’t talk about the bowling but the pinball is fantastic!! So many LE machines and they are pretty well taken care of. Can’t wait to visit again!

  • 5/5 Matt R. 11 months ago on Google
    First timer and can’t believe I’ve never been here! My friend was in town from NY and just a really cool place to meet up. Blast from the past without the smoke.

  • 5/5 Cassidy K. 1 year ago on Google
    This staff that was working during my bowling time was so nice. We had a bowling ball stuck and they got it with no huff or fuss, and we’re kind and nice throughout the entire experience. So many other workers were so kind and helpful, even with us bowling so late at 9:15! None of them seemed to be done and out of it, and this added up to be one of the best staff experiences I’ve had bowling!!!

    If you like playing pinball and old arcade games from the 80s then you'll love it here. Definitely going back again sometime

  • 4/5 Reyna A. 6 years ago on Google
    Bowling is good. Seems to be family friendly. The staff is very professional and friendly. Although when busy they don’t have enough people helping out. Food is pretty good. Keep in mind it’s bar food. They also have a small pro shop which convenient to get stuff as needed.

  • 5/5 Alex G. 2 years ago on Google
    Barry in the Pro Shop was extremely helpful and willing to answer every question I had as a newbie looking for a new bowling ball. The entire facility is in great condition and run by great people. The lanes are well-maintained, the arcade is great, and the bar makes great drinks. Easily the best alley in the St. Louis area.

    We absolutely loved our visit at WCL! I’m happy to have had such a wonderful experience with my kids here and it being their first time bowling experience! My youngest was so excited about this trip as it was a surprise and she told me she knew all there was to know about bowling from one of her childhood favorite programs. We are looking forward to many more memories here! Thank you 😊 for having such a great establishment for many more to enjoy. To the staff; you all were so wonderful and such a delight! Thank you for being ever so patient with me and my kiddos (it’s not everyday you experience such understanding) for that it meant so much to me!! Thank you!!

  • 5/5 Derek A. 1 year ago on Google
    Everyone was absolutely wonderful here. I have never had better service at a bowling alley. The lady at the front desk (who was a manager, never got her name) was so kind. Steve who’s the mechanic, was very helpful in every question I had about buying my own equipment and bowling in general. I wish I could give them more stars and will definitely be returning in the future.

    We had our daughters graduation party here. The whole evening went perfect. The staff was amazing. So accommodating to our needs and kept me informed the whole time on food, drinks, etc. this place is a hidden gem that not many people appear to know about. Something for everyone here, kids and adults! Hours of fun! West County Lanes, thanks for making her graduation party memorable. And MIKE, no words can describe how much you bring to the table working there! You’re great! ❤️❤️
