I tried calling to see what’s the deal with the place on here( Unilocal) says open just drove by and don’t look like its been open for some time now and number is no longer in service or changed. I take it they are no longer in business. Would be nice to update this with better info.

This is a great place to take kids on a weekend afternoon. Never too crowded and the staff is friendly and helpful. Like the Antioch Movie Theater, it’s a no frills solid hometown place. Plus the guy that works there looks like Aaron Rodgers so that is kind of funny. Go bears though.

Not a Brunswick but good enough. I only come on Tuesdays for $ 1.00 bowl. The gentleman that works their is very cool… always gives us breaks and won’t charge for kid shoes ect! Always have a good time for a couple bucks!

This is a great place to bowl. Mondays and Tuesdays are my favorite day to go due to the super cheap bowling, shoes, and beer! Get their early because they get packed quick!

I love this place! Good olé family fun or a great place to hang with friends. We usually take full advantage of the Monday night specials when starting at 5pm you get 25cent game/lane per person, $ 1 drafts and half off appetizer! THAT is a deal! The place is clean, even the bathrooms! The staff is super helpful and nice. Ample parking in lot outside. Come on! What are you waiting for? You can’t use the recession as an excuse this time!

Back in the day me and my gang used to come here for the random night of bowling when it was relatively inexpensive. Once the prices started to go up we found other places to get our turkey on. It’s been a long time since I had been back to Antioch Lanes, but found myself here when visiting some friends back home for a few nights. It was a Wednesday night and when me and my lady arrived we figured it was a crap shoot to get some open bowling in because it was probably a league night. Seems like every night of the week is a «league night» now a days. Sure enough, as we strolled it, the lanes were packed with the stereotypical bowling league shirts and bad mustaches. We approached and counter crossing our fingers to be able to find an open lane just for a few games to get it out of our system. Luckily the kid at the front desk said he had one lane left and it was all ours. Just pay when you’re done playing. We scampered about finding a ball that would fit our fingers and I remembered why I don’t bowl that much, how many other hands were in those and the smell of cigarette smoke that stained the 70’s style carpets… ah well bowling is fun. We bowled a few games, drank a few beers and were ready for the next destination. As we went to pay, the clerk told us $ 13(2 games with shoes). We were astonished! Great price! I am not sure how many times I’ll be back to bowl some more, but for the itch that we needed to scratch Antioch Lanes did the job. Well done.

Monday starting at 5pm is Quartermania Day! This is my new favorite weekly holiday. For 50 cents you can rent bowling shoes now that’s a deal but it gets better. Every game is 25 cents… what really? But wait there is more! How about 50 cent drafts on tap? Okay please stop that is way to much! Wait half price apps too? You mean every app on the menu is half price? Yes! Quartermania is alive and kicking! This is such an amazing deal. We arrived right at 5pm and had to wait a little for a lane. Many of the locals were rumbling about having to wait. There was a local school there and they had many of the lanes taken but they were close to being finished. There were a bunch of lanes open but there was an evening league coming in. So customers saw the open lanes(for the league) and wondered why they could not bowl on them. It always cracks me up when people complain and they are getting the most incredible deal ever. Have a little patience and good things will come. As we were waiting, my wife asked if there was going to be a waiting list and the owner said he was not going to start a list yet. That scared me a little but I told my wife to stick close to the front counter so he did not forget us. After a few minutes, he handed us all shoes and told us to take lane number 1. Sweet! We asked him if we needed to pay first and he told us we were on the honor system. How cool was that? So we took our shoes, grabbed a few balls and went to our lane. The lanes here are really nice… a little oily… which means they really take care of them. I needed a towel to wipe my ball off but I did not have one. Unfortunately I do not carry one in my back pocket. The scoring was really cool. I let my little one pick the theme and she choose«Fairytales» which was really fun for her. We had animated dragons, princes, fairies, etc poping up on our screen as we bowled with sound effects too. We were also able to set up bumpers for our little one, so every time it was her turn the rails would pop up for her. No gutters for a child equals happiness. Now if you do not like fairies, then you can choose another theme too. So as we were bowling we decided to grab some of those 50 cent drafts but found out that the bartender would not be there for another 5 minutes. So we waited and as soon as he arrived we ordered two. Nice and cold perfect for a bowling game. We also decided to jump in on the half price apps and our choice was hard because there were over 20 items to choose from. We finally went with the cheese sticks. My wife placed the order with bartender and a food runner delivered our piping hot cheese sticks to our lane within 10 minutes. The service was really fast and the cheese sticks were really good. I think we got them for $ 1.25. My wife wanted to hit more of the apps but I vetoed it because I knew we would hate ourself in the morning after all of that fried food. There was music here but it was jukebox driven. So if someone played music there was music playing, which was great when it was playing. I did miss it when it was not playing. I wish that I would have went up and played a few songs but that might have been dangerous because I find jukeboxes to be funny. I like to pick the strangest music and then watch everyones faces. Yeah I am that guy because I always love a good laugh. The bowling alley is really nice. I am so glad to see that this place is packed on a Monday night. I am sure that Quartermania has a lot to do with it. We will be back because we had a fun night as a family. Almost 3 hours of family fun and we spent less then 10 dollars on everything. Where else can you get bowling, drinks and food for less then that? Nowhere except here!!!

I came here & actually had a fun time. I was here on a Tuesday so it was $ 1 games. The lanes were nice & smooth just like at a Brunswick facility. Some of lanes would malfunction but one of the staff members would fix them right away. They had 2 staff members because it is a smaller facility but the staff was very nice. The bathrooms were also clean & updated with newer technology. If you want music you have to pay the machine to play it. I think it would help the ambience if they just played music instead of making people pay for it. Overall the lanes were smooth & the service was good & I will bowl here again when I am in the area.
