4.0 of 5 stars. I enjoy this place so much that I gave it four stars to keep the game interesting. I have never struck out here. I did have to take a star off because of the prices of the alcoholic beverages. I...

5.0 of 5 stars. Okay, I bowl. I bowl seriously. I don't drink beer and I'm not beer-bellied. I don't participate in bowling leagues, mainly because I don't drink beer and I'm not beer-bellied. The reason I bowl is...

4.0 of 5 stars. Twice I've broken the 100 mark here in 4 frames bowled. That alone earns this venue five stars. However, being the site of a royal reaming after one of those, it gets minus one star. Also, the...

Not a bad evening by Dustin K. at InsiderPages

It's pretty much a standard bowling alley. Don't expect too much in the way of fancy facilities, it seems to be pretty old. That said, it's modern enough for most casual bowlers and the food is way better than...

Annoying competitions at prime hours, expensive to play. by Robert L. at InsiderPages

At least there are options in Austin for bowling! by Charlene B. at InsiderPages

Fun bowling, long waits

Sometimes there is a long wait at the Highland Lanes, other times, you can't even bowl because of League Night. However, they make some good drinks and have some fun bowling!!

Great Family Gathering Place

I love the fact that Highland Lanes has a non-smoking area, so we didn't smell so smoky. I also like the individual computer for each lane, so we didn't have to share the computer with other people.

Over-rated

I didn't enjoy Highland lanes too much because the facilities were not clean and the balls were all chipped or dirty.
