Pioneer Bowl

Yer, in Wisconsin. Get a ball and get out and roll.
Bowling alleys are everywhere in Wisconsin and unlike the vast suburbs of Chicago I grew up in, the Wisconsin alleys have really nice bars.
My rating of this place is based mainly on the lanes. The bar and food are OK, but the lanes are very nice.
I like Pioneer bowl because it is bowling first, not kids parties first. The lanes are well maintained and waxed regularly. If you do not have your own ball and shoes, this might not be the greatest choice as they have a limited supply of just OK gear, but seriously, you live in Wisconsin… You have no excuse for not having a ball. It is kind of like winter boots and an abused liver, it’s the cost to get in the dance.
The food here is questionable at best. All frozen and just heated up. Pizza is passable.
The tap beer selection is just OK but the mixed drinks are done well. Served in clean glasses and well made.
I would probably go 3.5 if allowed, but will give the nudge up to 4 based on the obscenely liberal pours on neat and on the rocks drinks here.
