My husband and I came in for a spontaneous date night for old school billiards, and it was so much fun! It's an old school retro little time machine! Take cash when you go, they don't have a card reader! Love this place so much!
Great league play at Metro. Jimmy has the place rockin playing classic rock music at a classic spot in Crystal Lake. The bowling ally keeps old school alive!
The Contos family is great:) old school awesome alley. knowledgeable family staff. Comfortable vibe.
Fun place with a very neighborhood feel. Great place to take the family for bowling, or to hang out with friends for a drink. The one drawback cash only and ATM fee is $3 bucks.
This place always keeps me coming back whenever possible. Is it the retro aesthetic? Is it the fact that you have to score your games yourself? Is it the classic rock that plays through the speakers? Is it the homely atmosphere that Jim (proprietor) has between patrons and the other staff? No matter the reason, Metro Bowl is a very charming gathering place with a well-maintained set of lanes. If you do wish to bowl, be sure to call ahead - their hours are very limited and the small size tends to prioritize leagues (at the time of this writing, there is an ongoing league running every day of the week).
Great place to bowl. 10 lanes. No electronic scoring system. You learn to score your games. Great pro shop run by John. Excellent teacher with excellent ball making skills. Also has a well run bar. You'll enjoy the experience.
Just went in to have a few drinks, was packed with league players in the bowling alley part. Bartender and owner were funny and great people. Well definitely have a go there again..
This place is great. It definitely comes from a time when every small town had a bowling alley and people went to the bowling alley to bowl (this is not a Brunswick Zone). There is no electronic scoring so brush up on how to keep score. Cash only business but the games and drinks are inexpensive. Only down side is that open bowling times are limited because of league play.
First time! Came here for my birthday with my wife. We watched a 2min tutorial and started throwing for a 90min session. Super chill atmosphere. Would definitely return! Beer was reasonably priced. All cans. TouchTunes if you want to mix up the music
I just happen to have stumbled on this & Iâm so happy I did! Itâs gorgeous! On one trail, I went through the woods & then was in some sort of field. Very, very pretty!
I got my axolotle here. They are absolutely fantastic. They're super friendly and helpful. My pet is thriving and is absolutely gorgeous. His name is Axel Rose! (Assuming he's a male) He has been at my house for only three days and is already super p
Melanie and her chocolates are the best! Since moving into the area we have been sure to frequent our new favorite sweet shop. The staff here is always friendly and happy to answer questions about allergens in their items, and keep a good stock of e
I need to get out more. My grandchildren were visiting from out of town and love bubble tea. They spotted the sign for Coco Rolls and Cloud tea as we drove through the mall. Score! The bubble tea was a hit and the ice cream sundae we watched being cr
Really fun vibe! We ordered a flight to try some of their beers which ended up being a win! Ended our night playing some shuffleboard. Fun place and Iâm sure when the weather is nice the patio is equally a fun spot to hang out. Everyone was very fr
I've been coming here since I moved to the area. A lot of my friends have worked here and I always loved it. After they started expanding into other cities this location became an atmospherical dump as they were basically running a lot of operations
Great experience, great atmosphere, and most of all great staff!!! One of the best restaurant experience my wife and I have had in our 16 years of dating (today)! Dylan genuinely interacted with us heard what we were thinking, gave suggestions, and
BEST brunch spot in all of Mchenry County hands down! Service is always great, awesome staff & the food is of course all delicious. My top two recommendations are their Mushroom & Swiss burger and their Stuffed Potato Pancake (so-soo good i had to in
