    The food is homemade and delicious, the bartenders are all very friendly and efficient. This is our go to spot. It's low lit and (summer time review) cool. The chips are handmade and amazing, two people could just about put the small nachos down, you'd be a maniac to tackle a large on your own. The maranara sauce for the mozz sticks is chunky and flavorful. Everything we've tried so far has been awesome. They also have decent drink specials throughout the week. I love that it's inside the bowling alley, really makes for a fun atmosphere. The only thing I didn't like is that they allow kids in there, but that's the same stupid thing all these places up here allow (irresponsible and thoughtless parenting to blame IMHO). But that was just once out of the 4 times we've visited so far, otherwise seems to be as a real regulars type place, which is endearing to me as everyone is really friendly. I believe The Dude would approve.

    We went bowling and ordered nachos and they were amazing. I was happily surprised definitely worth it. Better than most nachos I order at restaurants in the area.

    Reasonably priced food with very personable staff, the best food I've ever had come out of a bowling alley! Definitely come on a Thursday to try their pasta specials!

    Been going to this place for a long time... I had no idea that they changed the name though. I've always known this as Arlington lanes. Still quite chill, except they removed the $1 dollar per game on the pool table. I understand though. That most likely wasn't making much money at all.

    You'll be hard pressed to find a more welcoming establishment. The food is OUTSTANDING, the service is more than prompt, and you can't really find a better value in their cocktails. 10 stars!!!!!!!!!!

    Heard great things about this place, so we checked them out. Overall they were pretty good! Food was good, service was friendly, but my only gripe is the music was too loud. Can't really ding then on that since it's more of a bar than a restaurant. I tried the philly sandwich, cheese curds, mozzarella sticks, and fried pickles. Everything was good! Other people at the table had pizza, nachos, bacon burger, and philly wrap. Definitely better than you would expect from a "bowling alley bar/restaurant".

    This place is great, food is absolutely delicious. I recommend the Philly steak sandwich.

  • 5/5 Dan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great burgers and the garlic cheese curds were unusual and delicious. Prices were very reasonable. All this hidden inside a bowling alley. Who knew?

    It is literally a Hideout. Built in to Arlington Lanes, it's a roomy, fun bar with great sandwiches, wraps, etc. The atmosphere was very fun and great service!

    Good food, excellent vibe and super friendly staff members.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely a top hidden gem destination in rhe NW suburbs, not you typical bowling alley bar. Clean, tastefully decorated and a great food menu! Hopefully people who miss Fox and Hound seek this place out, and forgive the cobdition of the parking lot.

    On Fridays they have steak tacos that are delish.

    Went with my family for the first time last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It was Saturday early evening and they had music/rock n bowl style on one side which was fun for both the kids and adults. Would definitely come back!

    Attended a friend's birthday party here on a karaoke night. The visit was good but the bartender was quite slow all night and at the end of the night the bouncer started kicking people out before everyone had their tabs closed. He was nice about it and I totally understand that there are strict rules surrounding closing times in bars. Overall, it was a pretty good night though.
