Fishkill Bowl

A group of friends and myself came here with the intention of not completely embarrassing ourselves by hurling gutter ball after gutter ball. The place was packed on that particular night, but we got our lane a tossed a few games. While no one in the group would rank as a professional by any stretch, we did have a good time. Fueled by draft beer, we continually poked fun at one another’s bowling shortcomings.
They’ve got a bar area and some fried foods that’ll push your cholesterol levels to an all-​time high, but it’s all part of the experience. Bowling is alive and well here at Fishkill Bowl.

Amazing experience! This place truly makes you feel like you are apart of the family! The customer service is amazing, the Pro Mr. Phil Paterno Sr. is an amazing man who is Truly a pleasure to speak with and the lanes are well maintained. My girlfriend and I purchased our first bowling balls from him this weekend and he was more than helpful. Not only did he help me select the perfect ball or me but he walked out and gave me about 30 minutes of his time to give me tips as well as to my girlfriend. We love it here and we will return!

Never go here! The employees don’t know how to communicate with each other! They screwed over the Girl Scouts! Shame on you!

I took the kids I babysit for here yesterday early afternoon. I was COMPLETELY DISGUSTED with this place. There was no one there. I was greeted by this cranky lady at the front desk who was rude and short with me. We then began to bowl. For some reason our lane kept getting stuck and the man who fixes the bowling machine kept getting angry with us because he had to keep getting up to fix it. At one point the bowl got stuck in the middle of the alley which really got him mad because he actually came up to me and yelled at me saying «you know you really got help the kids throw the ball!» Uhhh rude. For the rest of the time I sat there feeling completely uncomfortable. When the ball got stuck once again in the lane, the man never came to get the ball for us (oh by the way you’re only allowed to have one ball if you bring in children– weird) so I had to go out onto the slippery alley and get the ball myself. Of course when this happened the cranky lady behind the desk got on her loud speaker and actually started yelling at me for going into the lane to get the ball. Well I mean what else was I going to do? And then the machine man who never got up to get the ball for us started to yell too. So disgusting! Never ever going back

My favorite Bowling Alley by far. I have to travel 25 minutes to get here but it is definitely worth the trip. The staff is super friendly and the facilities are clean and well maintained. The snack bar is not always open but when it is, the food is pretty good. The pro shop run by Phil Paterno is top notch and he is a great guy willing to help you when you have a problem. Lots of fun for the whole family!

Took my 5 year old son and his cousin the day after xmas for a little morning bowl. We were the only ones in the place. The scoring is automated and easy to use and the lanes are great. The only reason I am deduction a star is I found the cashier to be a bit grumpy… other than that a fine place to bowl!

This place seems to be the place to be in this county. The parking lot was close to full and there were a lot of people there on a Friday night. The shoe rental is free and each game is just $ 4. I should go back more often to practice my skills.

Welcome to the Fishbowl. It would make a great name for a trendy new seafood restuarant. Instead, this place is a your typical small town, no frills bowling alley. It has 40 lanes (some work, some don’t, some have pin machines that knock down pins even though you roll a gutter bowl). The display screens that update your score are confusing and glitchy. The food and beer options are definitely lacking. For beer, it is either stale ale or lite beer (neither one is good). For food, there is cheese pizza ($ 12/​medium pie) and whatever is available at the vending machines. You might want to sneak in your own food. It is $ 4/​game on weekends and bowling shoe rentals are $ 2.25 (but I have my own pair). Despite all the misgivings, you can still have a lot of fun here if you are coming to relax for a couple hours with the right group of people.
