Taylor Lanes

Taylor Lanes is the best bowling alley I have ever been to! The bowling alley was very clean and well kept. The staff are so kind and sweet! I was there a couple of days ago and there was a young lady and a young man with glasses working the front desk, they immediately greeted me and helped me. The young lady was very polite and made me feel right at home. The young man was also very polite and answered my questions that I had. I also got a mixed drink from the bar and another young lady was working. She was also very polite and informative about the drinks. The drinks and bowling are nicely priced and their staff is excellent! 5 out of 5 stars! I highly recommend!

Here now for a birthday party. It’s dirty the manager doesn’t know how to operate the computer and the lanes keep shorting out and losing our games and all we get is a shrug and a sorry and they restart the game. And the kitchen staff can’t seem to read their own writing so we have been waiting an hour for 5 burgers and fries. This place needs a MAJOR overhaul everything in here is pre 1999 and failing. staff that actually cares about doing a decent job would be nice. It’s 5:30 on a Sunday with 4 people on staff… Wouldn’t recommend this place, not until it is updated.

One star is one too many… We came in at 730ish and there were two guys at the counter. One was on the computer and one was cleaning get shoes. We stood there for about a minute as they both looked at us (4 of us). It was awkward, finally the guy on the computer (younger of the 2) got up. We asked for specials he gave them to us. A few people walked up and seemed to know the guy attending us. He engaged in convo which was ok but honestly then it was taking way too long. Finally, the heavier set guy cleaning the shoes tried to assist us. He said that they close at 10 and it’s almost 8pm and that we’d have to be on two lanes. The way he said it was so rude with no even attempt to get a customer or be helpful. We said we’d go somewhere else and left. The first guy that assisted us didn’t even come or anything. Honestly this was just nearby and if I offend anyone, so be it but Taylor is just known for trashy people and Taylor Lanes proudly EMPLOYS them… Went to Skore lanes despite the review Billy is so awesome and attentive. The ladies at the bar and GRILL are so nice please just go there if tore in Taylor. Even if food sucks and the place sucks, I’m all about SERVICE! Never coming to Taylor Lanes NEVER

This is definitely my favorite bowling alley Downriver. They’re not perfect, but they’ve got a lot of good things going for them.
It’s fairly clean — that right there already puts it ahead of most other bowling alleys!
The pinsetters and scorekeeping are very consistent… I would guess that in the 6 months or so that I’ve been coming here 1 – 2 times a week, it’s messed up maybe once. For those of you that bowl on any kind of a regular basis, you know that’s pretty damn good!
Prices are pretty much the same as everywhere else — but some of the specials aren’t that bad. My favorite is two hours of bowling for $ 6 per person on a handful of weeknights. That’s a lot of games for only $ 6! I’m getting sick of paying $ 2.50 for shoes every time though… I think I need to invest in a pair. By far the best deal right now is Wednesday nights… dollar shoes, dollar games, and dollar domestics. Not to mention their more premium beers are only $ 2 – 3 on those nights… (see below.) **Edit on 7/​13/​12** Their specials have changed. $ 6 bowling for two hours is harder to find, and Wednesdays is now three games and shoes for $ 5. Even though I now own bowling shoes, it’s still a great deal. Plus, they have a DJ and cosmic bowling on Wednesday nights!
Now onto my FAVORITE part about this place… THE BAR!!! Their draft selection is not huge by any means, but the beers they choose to tap (besides domestics) are extremely well chosen and are very reasonably priced. They change just frequently enough so that you don’t get sick of them, but not so soon that you’re left feeling like you didn’t get enough. When I first started coming here, they had MIP Brik Red on tap, which completely blew my mind! It was the first place ANYWHERE downriver that had this beer on tap. (It’s my favorite!) Now that they’ve run out of that, I’ve been drinking Magic Hat #9 and Summer Shandy every time I go. They also had a rare Sam Adams for a couple months called Dark Depths… I’ve never seen it anywhere else, which is a bummer because it was AMAZING. At $ 9 – 12 a pitcher for the good stuff, you’ll be hard pressed to find any other establishment — bar, bowling alley or otherwise — that beats them price wise. That’s only $ 2.25 per pint, if you get one of the $ 9 pitchers!
Overall, I highly recommend this place. It’s a bit of a drive, but not bad… but you won’t find a better bowling alley within the Downriver area!

Id give it a 4 if the music was a bit louder and the lights lower also service is good drinks cheap

This is a really great bowling alley!
It’s large, well-​lit, well-​kept and overall pretty awesome. They are constantly running specials for cheap bowling. They can get busy (like most alleys) so always call before you show up because they may not have a lane open!
There is a bar area that has pool and other table games along with a concession area. Smoking is allowed throughout the alley but luckily it is very large with tall ceilings, so I never find it too overbearing.
If you’re looking for a new alley to call your own, I suggest Taylor Lanes.
