Hi-Lanes Bowling Center

Hi Lanes is a staple of Homer, NY. It’s tucked back on a side road and has been there almost beyond memory. It’s a small place with maybe ten lanes. The décor is all pretty dated but I actually expect that in bowling places, just the same as I would at a dive bar.
It was fun bowling with my family! We all found balls for ourselves, enjoying the process of wandering the alley, picking up balls until we each had the right ones. There was a mix of adults and kids and everyone found what they were looking for.
Aside from our group, the lanes were really busy with the leagues in town who all gave off a kind of hardcore bowling but relaxing in the man’s club vibe.
The most shockingly awesome thing about this place was the food. You ever just have an unexpectedly godly burger? That happened to me here! I thought I’d be getting regular greasy spoon but then I bit into the most perfectly toasted, slightly crispy bun with soft burger and cheese. I mean, damn. Totally normal but the texture blasted me!
Aside from that food was cheap and fast, served in baskets, again what you’d expect.
There are other places in the area but if you don’t feel like driving over to Cortland then Hi-​Lanes will suit you just fine.
