Vision Lanes

Beer? Good. Food? Good. Company? Good. My many gutterballs? Not so good.
Came here with some friends to go bowling on a Sunday night. Seems pretty old school, but that’s what’s nice about it! We bowled around nine o’clock at night and it was pretty busy. I gave four stars because it seemed kept up pretty well, besides the bathrooms. When I went in the restroom it wasn’t well kept much at all.
I’m just happy I hit 100. We plan to come back, they got karaōke!

Great for morning bowling leagues, good atmosphere, friendly staff. The girls have fun and we enjoy ourselves.

Was in the area for business and decided to get some practice in rather the sit around in a hotel. The staff was very friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Enjoyed a couple of drinks while I was there and found them to be mixed well and average price. I will be back when I am in the area again.

Came here on Saturday night to partake in some bowling and then some poker action in the Charity Poker room. The alley itself was pretty standard– a decent amount of families and kids around enjoying themselves… the bar was a little dark and dingy– apparently the karaōke at 10:00PM brings out a fair share of 30’s-40’s ish Westlanders that hate RockStarz as much as I do. I did okay open bowling with my friend and then we went to hit some poker.
Cannot comment on the food as I ate before coming out, however, the nachos and pizza that another poker player ordered looked decent, but pretty much mass produced. As for the poker, they have 1:00PM and 7:00PM tournaments on the weekends for sure, I don’t know about week days, and the turnout was solid– for the Saturday night they had about 7 full tables, 77 people I think, with no rebuys and a good starting stack of $ 30,000 in chips for $ 35+5. I happened to make the final table and cash for $ 150 in 5^th place– so an actual 10% of people got paid, and it lasted until right around 4 – 5 hours altogether, which works out to a good evening overall. I did not have time to play in the cash game, but they did have 2 tables going after the tournament’s first break, and some good action.
Overall, bowling is decent here– don’t expect a high class establishment, and you won’t be disappointed… and the poker here is a good mix of regular tournament action and decent cash game action. There is a waitress that is pretty attentive and food from the bar available almost all night– only drawback to this place is that theres some massive potholes in the parking lot and the chairs are not that comfortable (they are mostly banquet chairs). But if I had more time, I would definitely try more torunaments here in the future.

The last time I was in Vision Lanes was well over a decade ago. I went to watch a friend of mine that bowls on a league, and her team did very that night. Back then, smoking was allowed in bowling centers throughout Michigan, and the ventilation in this place was fair at best. Needless to say, I felt uncomfortable, and had a very difficult time breathing. However, I am happy to report these nightmarish days are now over.
Two years ago, Vision Lanes was completely remodeled, and place looks absolutely fantastic. Gone now is the putrid stench of cigar and cigarette smoke. They now have new automatic scoring from Qubica-​AMF, and 32 fully modern synthetic lanes. In addition, they have full-​service pro-​shop that is run by PWBA bowler Lisa Bishop that can help you with any of your needs, from drilling a new ball to resurfacing an old one.
Moreover, the food at this place is outstanding. We all know how bowling a few games can really work up a tremendous appetite. The All-​Star Grille features a vast menu with some great selections that would satisfy any craving you might have. I’ve only tried the pizza, and it was above average all the way, which is amazing since most people think of pizza from a bowling establishment as being second rate to the larger delivery chains. Personally, I’ll take the pizza from the All-​Star Grille any day over Dominos, and Mr. Pizza.
So if you’re looking for a great place to throw a birthday party, or a bowling event, Visions Lanes has the space, and 32 fully modern lanes to prove it. Likewise, the staff is very friendly, and helpful and will assist you with your needs. So the next time you have a desire to go bowling, drive on over to M-​153 (Ford Road) in Westland, and enjoy yourself. Likewise, take a few friends with you and have a great time.
