Forest View Lanes

The good: Excellent beer selection. They have many events for beer as well, so if you’re a beer connoisseur you’ll like the selection here.
The meh: The food is OK, but not great. I’m not sure I’d plan to eat a regular meal here. Good for a snack, though.
The bad: The staff don’t seem to know much about what’s going on with their great beer selection. I don’t expect them to know everything, but they should at least know what’s on nitro tap, what’s in a bottle, etc. Also, being attached to a bowling alley, this place is quite dingy.

Possibly the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. Whomever is running the show over there is failing miserably. Where do I start? The A/​C was either not working or totally inadequate because it was extremely hot in the bar. The service was awful! I waited 20 min then I had to stop a waitress to get any service. Then we never saw her again for over a half hour. Our appetizer came out after our meal was over and while I was walking around trying to find our waitress to get the bill. We each had only one drink because she never came back again after the first ones arrived! To be fair it was extremely busy and the waitress was courteous but give me a break! When you have a special event like a «tap take over» as it was called, and even post on your Facebook page that you are «ready for it» than you damn sure should be! This was total chaos and not the least bit organized. Too bad because I wanted to try some good craft beer.

I have a mixed review full of goods and bads.
Recently went in on a Wednesday night after leagues arriving around 9 pm with a group of 11 (all over 21) as a work outing.
PROS: Arrived and was pleasantly surprised with the price of bowling ($ 8 for 2 hours including shoes AND 1 Drink.) GREAT DEAL! Happy to pay it!
The lanes were good lanes to my and my co-​workers standards but none of us are very serious bowlers, we were just there for a fun time.
Food was excellent and super reasonably priced
Drink prices were very reasonable as well. A large selection of $ 2-​$ 3 drink choices
AND NOW FOR THE CONS: For starters the house bowling balls could use some replacing. Not a huge deal but probably 90% of the bowling balls going down the lanes were house balls and the ones I was using about wore a hole in my middle and ring fingers.
THE MUSIC! I wasn’t sure when I entered downtown Toledo but according to the 10 vulgar hardcore rap songs in a row I was in the ghetto.
FINALLY THE BAR STAFF: Great drink prices if it didn’t take me 20 minutes to get one. The bar staff was extremely slow and I’m pretty sure the blonde bar tender with skater pants and a hoodie was high as a kite. I finally saw a waitress at the complete opposite end and flagged her down and «bribed» her telling her «I will give you $ 15 dollars if you come by our table every 15 minutes because we were all ordering drinks.»
OVERALL: We had a great time and will probably go again. And I know it was a Wednesday so probably not the «A» squad for staff but there was a lot more money to be made.

I am not a good bowler, so I will not comment on whether this is a good ‘house’ or not, but I always enjoy bowling there.
