Best unique takeaways:

Authentic retro vibe; clean, well-spaced lanes; both 5-pin & 10-pin

Friendly, helpful staff and attentive party hosts

Per-minute pricing (4 people ≈ 2 games in ~54 mins feels fair)

Good late-night option (licensed bar, bottled drinks after midnight)

Kid-friendly: bumpers/ramps; wheelchair access to the approach

Popular for birthdays & leagues; pro shop on site

Food standouts: poutine, nachos, giant cookies

Roomy—plenty of lanes; not sardine-packed.

Old-school bowling done right. Clean, well-spaced lanes, helpful staff (Greg was great), and fair per-minute pricing—our group of four finished two games in ~54 minutes without feeling rushed. Family-friendly with both 5-pin and 10-pin; bumpers/ramps for kids and wheelchair access to the approach. Late nights are easy too: licensed bar, bottled drinks, and snack-bar standouts (poutine, nachos, giant cookies).

Big plus: they actually cater to almost any event—Child Birthday Parties, Teen Birthday Parties, Youth Sports Team Parties, Adult Parties (birthdays/anniversaries/any celebration), Group/Company Events, and Fundraisers. Hosts keep it turnkey so parents and organizers can just bring the cake and enjoy.

It’s vintage, not flashy—the décor and washrooms could use love, and a screen hiccuped once—but staff sorted it fast. Tons of lanes, active leagues, and a pro shop, so you’re not crammed in. Pro tip: confirm when the timer starts so the per-minute billing stays crystal clear. If you want real bowling with good people and smooth lanes (not arcade chaos), this is the spot.

I just held my daughter’s 5th birthday here and we had a great time! The birthday party space was excellent and it was nice to only have to bring the cake! Our party host was awesome and I loved all the extra details that came with the birthday package! Would highly recommend!

I am in love with this place, it gives me all the nostalgia of bowling when I was a kid in the 90s/2000s. The staff were friendly, it wasn’t overcrowded, the prices were great and the lanes were well spaced. It’s exactly what I was hoping for and we will be making it our future bowling spot. Definitely the vibe I’ve been craving that I haven’t seen in very long time.

I recently visited Burlington Bowl and had the worst experience ever. We were greeted by a rude employee whose facial expression made it clear that he wasn't having a good day. The equipment is outdated, most likely more than 20 years old. The place needs a lot of TLC, with pipes showing and overall maintenance being required. They barely had any lights on, and I'm assuming they're trying to cut back on electricity costs. Additionally, while playing, the equipment suddenly stopped showing the score, and we had to call an employee to come and reset it. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this venue, particularly because of the poor employee treatment.

Burlington Bowl has some great lanes, but could use a facelift and some much needed upgrades. The washrooms could use some extremely needed repairs. Wait Staff Khushi, Ashley are amazing staff members very friendly and helpful always eager to serve the customers. Brian is always willing to help when the lanes have issues and always does it with a smile. Greg at the front counter is very nice and always happy to assist when needed.

One of the best, most authentic classic bowling experiences in southern Ontario. Their long-time employee, Greg, was kind and helpful, and they had a fair selection of bottled drinks after midnight. They also have plenty of lanes so you can go any time for a good time.

Had a wonderful birthday party at the Burlington Bowl for our 11year old. The only downside was the availability for a weekend party as they are quiet busy with tournaments etc. so we settled on an earlier time 11am.
Our package included food (pizza , pop and icecream). We got to use the restaurant which had a 50’s diner esthetic. Were provided with plates, cups, cutlery and party hats. We were able to put up decorations. No outside food was allowed apart from the cake. We had to pay about $14 for an extra child (package was for 10 kids) and we paid for a second pizza.
Our host was friendly and available throughout the experience. The kids were very happy which is what matters. Also they took care of the clean up.
