Strike Up the Fun at Bowler City

"We were looking for a fun spot to take the whole family the day after Thanksgiving and weren’t sure what would even be open—but Bowler City in Hackensack turned out to be the perfect choice! We had such a wonderful time together and made so many great memories. The whole experience felt warm and welcoming. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the people around us were all in such good spirits. Yes, the bowling shoes were a bit worn, and the scoreboard had a tiny glitch, but honestly, none of that mattered. We were laughing, joking, competing, and just enjoying being together—and that made the day a perfect ten. If you're looking for something close to home where you can simply relax and have fun with your family, Bowler City is an excellent pick. We didn't eat there as we were still having Thanksgiving leftovers, but the place has a restaurant, bar, arcades, and party rooms. And for the record… I came in second place, and I’m not even a bowler! 😊🎳"

"This is my second time playing here. For 2 bowling games, 2 beers, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, a beef burger, and some arcade games we paid $85.50, almost 43 dollars per person which is ok. Food was expensive but the bowling and arcade games are reasonably prices. Staff were helpful and the restroom was clean!"

"If you’re not a total idiot, you appreciate well designed seating. I gotta tell you, the height of these seats and table are spectacular. The foot rest is sturdy and also the perfect height. The chairs rotate and rock in a smooth and satisfying manner. Overall, it’s a masterpiece of seating design and an incredible feat of engineering. I plan on coming here frequently in the future to just to serenely enjoy the seating and not even bowl. Highly recommended! Cool!"

"This place is definitely aging and showing it. The ceiling is the biggest issue there. The vents have dirt on and around them. It isn't just retro. It is neglect. The lanes looked good and functioned properly from what I could tell. The food stand was not open when we arrived at 12:30pm. Around 1pm, the lights came on, but no one came to the front, so it still looked closed. I wouldn't come back. Too expensive for everything to look like it does. Plenty of parking out front during the day, though."

"11-29-2025... Rented Lanes 38-39 at 3:30 P.M. for (2) hours. I went to Bowler City with my family to bowl for some fun, with the intent to also conveniently eat there. There were (10) of us! I ordered an incredibly tasty burger, mozzarella sticks and regular fries. When I went to pick up my order, to my total disbelief, my entire tray of food fell all over the floor, as I was attempting to put ketchup on my burger and fries. OMG... ketchup all over me. Embarrassing, to say the least. What was amazing to me is that Joe Kashaway, Daniel Cruz and this very kind waitress reacted like nothing had happened. They instantly cleaned up the mess I created without and negative word, and told me... without me even saying a word or asking, that they are making my entire order again, without costing me anything. Say what? I thought. You've got to know that this food was not only really good, but what great service and incredibly nice people!"
