The 10 Best Bowling Alleys in Chicago, Illinois (IL)

July 7, 2021 Ying Subia

The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

Pink Squirrel Bar

Reviewed By brmusicman - Chicago, United States

We visited with our neighbors around 6pm on a Saturday night. The bar was pleasantly uncrowded at that hour. Loved the retro vibe. Our friends had reserved one of the two bowling alleys for us, and we had a great time playing a couple of rounds! The alleys are short and bowling balls mini, but it's super fun. The staff was very helpful with instructions and on the one occasion the pins got stuck. Most importantly, the cocktails were delicious! The menu has a fun, old-Wisconsin-supper-club vibe to it, with some very cool twists on classic cocktails, shaken and stirred. We enjoyed every drink that we ordered, including--indulgently--an ice cream-based drink to finish our visit. Service was knowledgeable, attentive, and fun. A great spot--would definitely return!

We (family of 5 and friends) experienced a rainy day during our stay to see the city of Chicago last May. Upon a quick search online we discovered Lucky Strike & FTW (For The Win Arcade) right next to our hotel. We had an absolute blast for several hours bowling, playing putt-putt golf, ping-pong, pool, and arcade games. Great variety of indoor activities for all ages, kids and adults alike!!! We also found the variety and quality of food to be very good; and the bar had an impressive selection of Craft Beer! Staff were extremely friendly and very helpful showing us the ropes as we had never visited before. We will definitely visit again next time we're in the city!!!
