    Mahall's is a special place. Part old school bowling alley, part concert venue/thrift shop and part bar/restaurant. They are a great example of a business that has managed to stay relevant and cool despite the changing times. The bowling alley is a time capsule that gives you a peek back to the golden age of bowling. No automatic scoring, real wood lanes, and no walls of giant screens like a lot of alleys nowadays. It's so rare to find a place like this as most alleys have since "upgraded" or closed down completely. Bowling at an alley like Mahall's is an experience I'd encourage any bowling fan to try. In addition to the lanes, Mahall's has a great concert space and bar/restaurant. It's very easy to spend an entire night out at Mahall's. Nothing better than bowling a few games before eating dinner and wrapping it up with a music show. I don't know if there's any place that does it better in Cleveland.

    What a rad place to have a concert! Great location with food and a record shop nearby, fantastic atmosphere, vintage and onenof a kind clothes for sale, a photo area with great lighting, and a bowling alley!

    My friends and I came here on a whim, and there wasn't any wait at all. (Though of course, it was a week day)The biggest draw is how cheap it is to bowl here. I only had to pay ~$35 for an hour with one lane and something like ~$3 per shoe rental! Some places downtown are like $30 per person! There's a bar and restaurant with a fairly sizeable selection of foods, beers, and cocktails. Our group shared a bunch of chicken tenders and wings, and they were all delicious! The barbecue wings were especially good! There are at least 10 lanes, but the way they're numbered, I believe there are 20 total. There is a thrift store-esque shop on the main floor, and the bar is on the same floor. They keep most of the bowling balls on this level, and there is a place you can take pictures as well. You walk down the stairs, and there is a lounge with another bar, and 10 bowling lanes on the other side. The building seems really old, and all the lanes are low-tech, which means you have to KEEP TRACK OF YOUR OWN SCORE ON PAPER! It was so much fun, though, and I can't recommend it enough!

    Something about this place feels magical. I don’t know why. You get transported to your grandparents’ basement once you walk down the stairs to the basement and smell the air. You turn to your right and it is literally their basement but with a cool bar! The bar upstairs has a great vibe. The food is really good. The bowling is fun. You keep your own score. The vibes here are great.

    Nested in Lakewood this hidden gem will not only send your tastebuds into overdrive but you will def have random thoughts of their awesome. Me and my husband recently stopped in and tried their Board Board and we were throughly impressed. Their brunch board is full of so many amazing breakfast items. Everything is flavorful. Their drinks are amazing and I really love the overall rustic look of the restaurant. The staff is friendly, service was excellent and it’s for sure a repeat spot!!!

    First time at this Venue and will not be returning. Showed at 5:20pm for doors at 6pm line didn't move til 6:45pm. Show didn't start until 7:30pm couldn't even stay to see the main act because of arrangements with the kid's sitter. Doors at 6 mean doors at 6. Not to open when you choose without an explanation. If your website says doors at specific time that's when they should open. Worse concert venue in my opinion. The show itself was good but paid to see the main act but couldn't. Zero stars if I could on the venue portion but won't bother coming back for bowling or the food based on the initial experience I've had at the business. I'll stick to the Foundry in Lakewood better establishment for concerts and they open doors on the arranged time.

    Been up there a few times now for random shows. An absolute vibe for a smaller venue. The food was awesome, drinks came out quick and strong, loved the vibe entirely, definately gotta come back to try out the actual bowling sometime

    We host Secret Society Comedy once a month upstairs in the Apartment space. It's a nice, intimate venue for 40-50 people, and of course, the rest of Mahall's rules too. The cocktails and the beer selection are great, and the team always takes such good care of us. If you haven't been, you must be new to Cleveland. Definitely check it out!

    Honestly this is probably the best bowling alley I've ever been to. Walking in here is an experience. You feel like you're on the set of that 70s show, the atmosphere is immaculate, the beer is cold, and the management is great as well. I love this place very much and will cherish my memories here.

    Very unique venue and bar! I did not see the bowling lanes but they advertise having 20. Looks to have a good food menu and definitely has a good drink menu.

    Venue was nice and had an old school feel to the place. The vibes were energetic. Lots of sweet art on the walls. Chicken Fingers were very good..and the Chicken Sauce was amazingly Chicken saucy. You can see me enjoying a chicken tender in the pics. Had a great time here for a concert. I'll be Back.

    So impressed! By the vegan chicken sandwich, the live music, even the lobby was spacious and cool! There was even free parking down the road in a well-lit park—excited to go back! 🎳

    Literally one of my favorite places in all of Cleveland. If you love Vintage spaces, good food, and upscale drinks you’ll love this place. Yeah the bowling doesn’t keep score for you, but honestly feels more authentic than your average bowling alley. Theme nights are always fun, though the charge doesn’t always seem worth it. Parking in the lot across the street or the side streets is relatively easy.

    We have had two amazing experiences at Mahall’s in the last two weeks. We are totally obsessed now! Last week we attended a phenomenal concert here. We thought their staff handled it well and ensured that the attendees of the concert were well taken care of. They even had water available for us as it was quite warm that day. It also impressed us that they were serving food during the concert. Their chicken wings are the best chicken wings that I have had in years! They are crispy and had plenty of sauce on them. They were also quite large and very reasonable priced. Today we majorly lucked out when we revisited. We were among the first twenty people to get a free burger because of their anniversary event. We had no idea what was going on and couldn’t be happier upon receiving our food. Their parky burger may be the best burger I have ever eaten. They also were quite generous with their fries. Everything was such a pleasant surprise. We wish we could have stayed for their event as it looked like so much fun. I can’t wait to come back and bowl or try some of their mock tails. We will definitely be recommending to family and friends. Thank you for the hospitality!
