Montreal Bowling offers 35 televisions, 16 bowling lanes, arcades, pool tables and the Mississippi game. It's the perfect place to come watch a hockey match, go bowling with friends and above all to come and celebrate in a group.
Montreal Bowling is described as a retro yet enjoyable spot with lanes that look decent and a vibe that suits watching sports or hanging out with friends. Reviews praise the bowling area, the drinks, the free popcorn, and the friendly staff, along with a clean space and good value. It is considered a solid choice for family time, friends nights out, or corporate events, with recommendations to book ahead on weekends to avoid lane waits. Several notes point to occasional organization hiccups during events, such as miscommunication around promotions like free cocktails and slow service for drinks and food. Food items like nachos receive praise for quality, while some guests mention that the bathroom design feels industrial and not ideal. Overall, Montreal Bowling is seen as a fun, versatile venue for casual bowling and socializing, though staff training and event coordination could use improvement.
Not sure what's happened to this place, it's gone downhill, maybe under new management? Super long wait for food, reservations moved around multiple times (what's the point of reserving?), had to wait 20 minutes to pay, lanes kept breaking, & no bowling shoes left! Complete chaos. Never coming back.

The place is nice. We had fun with the friends playing bowling. But the only issue it is with the food service. We got our food only after 1 hour from moment we ordered it... it is very late taking to consideration that it was just nachos!!!
J'ai attendu 45 minutes pour un pichet de bière & l'écran de notre allée de quille était brisée, il a fallu aller chercher l'employé 2 fois vu que les quilles restaient prises
Possibly the worst bowling alley of all time?
Overpriced, unorganized, unprofessional, filthy, broke system, I can go on for longer.
We booked for a specific time, got there a head of time to make it on time, the lanes are not ready. Hah they don't even have the right shoe sizes, & then when people finish with their shoes they don't even clean them (basic bowling etiquette)
The place is run by teenagers (feel bad for them) cause the management is obviously poor.
Finally get to the lane, which is filthy from the last people there.
& then the lane just stopped working (balls did not come back)
Would say the worst place to go bowling.
Would not recommend to anyone
Will never come back.
Went to play bowling, they told us we have to wait 3 hours & we did that. After 3 hours they told us we need to wait 30 more mins, we did that. Our turn never came & we left. The staff are also very unfriendly
I came here with my girlfriend for a fun evening but it got completely ruined by the service. Not only did the bartender force me to tip him (by taking away the card machine when he saw I was about to give zero), he crumple the payment receipt & tried to kick us out. (Because he thinks making the product is a service, when it's entirely different. forcing us a tip from the start rather than delivering the food to us etc) the food they served was not at all worth the money we paid. If you want to come to this place, I'd highly recommend just sticking to the bowling (which is also overpriced anyway 66$ for two shoes & 1 hour) & avoiding the bar.
The food & the bowling game is very overpriced. Very rude servers to point of tears. Pressure to tip extra from the start (even tho they never really delivered the food/drink to us or serve us) threatened to be kicked out if we didn't do so. But there was this one server who try to make sure everything goes right. But unfortunately, I truly lost my appetite from the whole situation & ruined the whole experience for my boyfriend who just came here to travel. I never wanna come here again.
We came as a group of five for a fun night of bowling, but our second game stopped working after a few turns & the system kept giving us 0s while skipping our second throws. When we went to the bar to explain & ask if they could do something to make it right, the bartender (white top, grey sweatpants) laughed at us, said he didn't believe us, & dragged the conversation for about 10 minutes without even checking the lane. When I mentioned I would leave a review, he told me to'go ahead'. We left feeling embarrassed, disrespected, & like our business didn't matter at all, & we will not be coming back, do not recommend
Definitely wouldn't recommend this to anyone. The staff are extremely rude & the manager is the absolute worst. Anyone who wants their day to be ruined will like it here.
Bad experience. Not a great place to hang out. The employees & the manager act very rude & disrespect you when you don't buy drinks/food, but just bowling
