Bowling at it's best, not necessarily at your lane!!

by james1970

I love this place. It's basically a party atmosphere at the bar where you get a chance to bowl as well.

The video screens behind the lanes are a blast. Music is loud and that encourages the party atmosphere. Service at the lanes by the waitresses was great. Very friendly.

I do recommend that you plan ahead because this place gets busy, and stays busy. Good looking people having a good time at a good place.

If you want to bowl and drink downtown, this is the place for you!

Cool Place but Private Parties Beware

by kellogg35

We visited 10pin on a saturday night with a group of 20-30 friends. We prepaid for the lanes and for 3 hours of open bar (we all received wristbands). The bowling was great and the scene was better than Lucky Strike. Our only problem was the bar experience. The bartender was the rudest I've experienced in 10 years of going to bars. Everyone with a wristband was treated as a 2nd class citizen and we paid a lot of money up front. He waited on everyone without a wristband first and then treated us like we were lucky to be getting his time and service. He cut off the open bar 5 minutes early and refused to serve us a last drink. Typically, you might get 1 or 2 people complaining about a bad experience like this but I had over 10 people in our group comment on how terrible the bar service was. Enjoy the bowling but I don't recommend booking your private party here.

• Pros: Fun Atmosphere
• Cons: Rude Bartenders

Choose Your Own Soundtrack

by billygoathex

Solid bowling alley and bar, but the kicker is the giant video screens attached to a video jukebox that let users program their own entertainment for the evening. Nothing like a night of Metal Madness on the lanes - I will come here every time I visit Chicago.

• Pros: Giant customizable video screens
• Cons: Closes too early on weeknights
