Cloverleaf Bowling Center

Went in to shoot pool on a Saturday night.  It was full of bowling leagues and crowded!  But of the 13 billiards tables, only 4 were in use.  $8 an hour for pool.  No music is played during the leagues...bummer.  The chucklef*ck of the whole thing was the bar.  I walked up the ramp into what felt like a cruise ship bar/club.  The neon strip lighting and Usher blasting in the overhead speakers made me laugh.  But the bartenders were super friendly and nice to chat up.  All bottled beers and a decent selection with a heavy slant towards domestics.  Large bowling alley, automatic scoring.  How can you go wrong here?

Went here with a group of friends on a Saturday night. It was packed but we were able to still get some lanes for the 6 of us. You can't really expect much from a place who hasn't remodeled since the 80s. Your typical bowling alley. They got like 60 lanes and heard they do tournaments here too. They do have a bar/lounge inside and drinks are dirt cheap. Coronas for $3.50, special bomb shots I think were $3 a piece. A couple of TVs in the lounge but nothing to rave much about.

This place also got a pool hall in the back, an arcade, and your typical carny food (nachos, mediocre hot dogs, overpriced beverages and chips, etc). Shoe rentals $3. We were luckily playing unlimited from a friend that frequents there so can't really complain. Overall fun night with some great peeps.

I went to Cloverleaf with a group of about 30 last night for bowling.  First we're told that we can't bring in a birthday cake because the owner gets a little salty.  The bowling alley doesn't provide birthday cakes so I don't see what the big deal is...  Then I got my shoes and had to return them because one shoe was so jacked up.  I finally went in search of balls.  I'm a wimpy girl and I need a light weight which was impossible to track down.  Once I did find some 8 pounders, the finger holes were impossibly small!  Totally kid-size.  Their scoring system is archaic and could use a serious update.  At one point, numerous balls in our lane had gotten stuck and it held us up for a while.  Yes, it's nice that the bowling alley is enormous, but I doubt I'll be returning.  The bar was decent even though they didn't serve any draft beer -- one of the few redeeming qualities.
