Yelp.com Review - by Michael C.

5.0 of 5 stars. This place is... AMAZING! The new owners have redone the inside completely, giving it an excellent 70s classic bowling alley feel. They didn't bother to add automatic scoring machines (which I think...

Old fashioned fun

Going there is one of my favorite things to do. It is old school but that is the charm of it. They have crinkle cut french fries and beer to munch on while you attempt to bowl. I go there for kid's birthday...

Yelp.com Review - by Brian W.

5.0 of 5 stars. The first time I went in here, the bartender made a guy in line in front of me repeat "Yuengling" ten times before she'd give him his beer because he mispronounced it the first time. Hilarious. He...

Yelp.com Review - by Emily P.

5.0 of 5 stars. The Hillsborough street bowling alley is probably one of the few places in the country (or at least the only place in town) where you have to keep your own score while you bowl (which I think is...

Yelp.com Review - by Eric M.

3.0 of 5 stars. Most of the bowling alleys you find around nowadays are filled with fancy electronic scoreboards, loud music and crowds of folks. Western Lanes is a throwback to a more simple time. Lanes are cheap,...

Great Old School Bowling

This is a great place to go if you want good old fashioned bowling, cheap beer, and french fries. If you want auto-scoring and fancy video displays, you can go pay the ridiculous prices at AMF, where I doubt...

Bowling

I loved bowling here when i attended ncstate university because it was across the street from the campus. The pricing was fair and they were a fun place for us to go when we wanted to get out and do something....

dry as hell lanes with bad food

The lanes are dry and no auto scoring. And they have to little parking with a big hole that scraps your car when you drive into the parking lot. And the food is sub standard. I just think this is the worst...

Old School Bowling

At the western lanes, you get to test your math skills by keeping score yourself on paper. As far as I know this bowling alley is the only one in Raleigh, and possibly the universe that doesnt have a ...

expensive yet not very good by Jean W. at InsiderPages

the price is quite high here, yet the environment is not good enough to reasonize this price. even with discounts for NCSU students, the price's still too high.

A true Bolwing Alley by Sean C. at InsiderPages

They DO NOT come like this any more. No hi-tech lighting/scoreboards. No wild music to match the carpeting. This is an older, darker (lighting/decor) bowling alley. If you want atmosphere, this alley has it!!...
