A classic fun spot. A fine bowling alley with friendly staff, quick food, a bar, a pool table, and air hockey. They have plenty of balls in all the expected sizes that are in good shape. The lanes are oiled well. Everything is clean and maintained, including the bathrooms.
If you bring kids, the bumpers automatically raise and lower on a per-player basis, so adults and kids can play together. I have been here for a kid's birthday party, and the place accommodated the event very well! Everyone had fun.
Check the website for Cosmic Bowl hours (music, music videos, black lights, and fog machines)!
It's been busy every time I visited, but I've never had to wait long. The prices are on the low to average end for Chicago.
Such a fun place. Leagues! Cosmic Bowling with music videos! They have pool tables, a bar, a concession area where you can get a lot of awesome fried food. Deaf friendly too!
Love coming here.! Staff is always amazing and friendly. My boyfriend and I come here several times a week, it's the only place we go bowling. Would definitely recommend to anyone trying to have a good time. The music is great also.
This place is amazing. Been going here for years. There is no better place to have fun with your friends when its cold outside. Never had a bad experience. It's always clean (bathrooms are spotless) the music is great, amazing decorations, lot's of lanes, awesome arcade selection, pool tables, food is good, staff is friendly. Sam was fun and very polite tonight, even though it was closing time (I would be cranky, haha). Overall it's always a great atmosphere!
I worked here when I lived in Chicago. Wasn't a bad place to work. Owner (Gary) is a very nice man and the staff were nice. Gets busy at night especially on the weekends but if you're willing to wait it out a few minutes by shooting billiards or grabbing something to eat it'll be well worth it. Main thing I miss Pizza burgers ;)
Its am classic bowling alley. I had a great time. The food and drinks were great as well.
Great spot for people if all ages! Good old fashion fun and happy atmosphere. There is a small arcade for those who need a break from bowling and cafe onsite that sells really good pizza. The staff are pleasant and diverse. Best of all parking is free and there is a lot of it!
Really well oiled lanes. Good pitcher prices. Food is standard bowling alley food. It is pretty pricey and there are kids running around all over the place which is incredibly distracting and slightly intolerable.
We went as a big group, no reservation on a Saturday night but there were lines open so we didn't have to wait long. Good prices $10/person $6/second game, shoes included. The staff were really nice, we paid for 2 friends who cancelled on us right after we had paid the gentleman, so we quickly went back to see if he would return our money, and he did it without a issue. Definetely will be back.
Bowling experience was great but was given lot of attitude when ordering food. Didn't bother me much because I love the food there but we ended up throwing out more than half our pizza because it didn't taste so great.
Well maintained lanes with unique paintings inspired by Chicago landmarks above each. Great drink specials and bar food. Clean shoes and facilities. Lots of fun to be had here!
