The Bowler

I always have a great time at this Pub! Small town feel :). Had great pizza and bar staff «Wil» was great

Disappointed in the lanes. There is no slide to the finish of your throw. Seems a good way to get hurt

It has potential to be a fun location… they need to wax/​polish the floors so someone does not kill or injure themselves sticking to the floor. Drunks are reasonable. Bowling was fun with that exception.

Service was HORRIBLE!!! Bowling attendant was so rude. Our balls kept getting stuck in the back taking away from our play time. The guy made it out to be our fault for the balls getting stuck, and also making other excuses. Then told us that he didn’t care if he lost customers. He also refused to tell us his name when asked. In 2 hours paid because of the whole incident we were only able to play 3 games. Never going back!

You know the kinds of places where you look down a very long, somewhat sketchy, dark, hallway to enter, and think «holy hell, am I going to get murdered here?» The answer, maybe. Quite possibly actually. At the Bowler.
That’s how I describe the Bowler. There is an upstairs, for bowling — obviously. And a downstairs that looks like something out of the Saw movies for darts and pool. We found this place after a group says «lets go bowling. Lets go shoot some pool. Lets go throw some darts.» Where can you do it all? The Bowler.
Alright, 3 tables in the basement and a music machine on the wall. I refuse to call it a jukebox. Quality of the tables? Not too bad shockingly and only a dollar. What pissed me off to no end, a flickering florescent light over one of them. I know what you’re thinking, it’s just a flickering light. Yeah, try not having a seizure while you’re playing 3 games of pool, and lining up shots. Then spout off.
The darts were shit. Boards were ancient, only a couple spare tips and the darts themselves were very cheap.
Drinks were solid — keeps this place from being a total waste of time besides being a possible location for catching the clap. Very cheap drinks, and very good pours from the bar staff. And they run a tab (and correctly), which is pretty nice.
All in all, we were told it was «sketchy» going in — that wasn’t lying one bit. Will I go back when I’m up there again? Maybe?

Great place to take the entire family. There’s so much to do in this bowling alley. Multiple bars, casino, pool area. They have really good bar foods and they have kareoke at the bar upstairs. Really inexpensive drinks and a great crowd.

Oh how I WISH THIS PLACE EXISTED IN NY!!!
Not only is it a huge bowling alley, its also a small casino with table games and a big bar area that does killer fun and organized trivia, and sex toy bingo!!! I mean come on, what more can you ask for?! Oh wait, they also have an awesome food special with pizza, breadsticks and pitcher of beer for $ 20. Wow, take me home you epitomy of local Fargo!
This really is the spot for local browsing too and it was mighty interesting and more fun than any trivia night I’ve gone to before. Just want to say, that the 3 chupacabras from NY came in 2^nd out of 15 teams, with the smallest team being us and the best brains being nearly us hahahah! But no joke, there was something fun and specials going on every night of the week here and if I lived in Fargo I know this would be the place my friends and I would be hitting up at least once a week.
Go Bisons.

Going to The Bowler is like a throwback to simpler times for me. Whether I am participating in the bowling or just watching my kids bowl, I enjoy the sounds of the pins crashing, the music playing and the people watching.
The bowling area is in good shape with plenty of lanes. You can get the bumpers if needed. Also, the lanes on both the north and south ends have couch like seating for more comfortable group settings. Otherwise, the other lanes have high top tables and stools. Also in the building are some arcade type games in the lower level. There are three bar areas as well as Gina’s Pizza.
The staff is friendly whenever we stop by and generally ask my kids how they are doing. They had a great deal for kids this past summer with a summer pass for $ 25 which includes games and shoes essentially from Memorial Day to Labor Day. We definitely got our money’s worth for how often the kids wanted to go.

Fun place to hang out, have a drink, and bowl or play blackjack. A lot to do under 1 roof! Adult toy bingo on Friday nights is a riot!

Horrible experience! Waited for over ½ hour waiting for a staff member who could order our food and get a lane started for bowling. Ended up leaving with NO service at all.
Had an employee ask what we needed and he didn’t know how then he asked a couple more times and eventually walked away.

Friendly staff and fun bowling… even if the lanes are getting a bit old and you have to watch out for various dips here and there, the rentals and games are cheap, and the beers are generally cheap, too, especially for those $ 2 happy hour drinks.
Some blackjack, but I’m generally not here to play that… I prefer also coming with my own shoes here, but they have almost all sizes available most of the time.
Popular with a few leagues, too, if you wanted to get in on that.
