Bryant-Lake Bowl & TheaterJuly 10, 2016Enjoy a happy hour priced drink anytime: $1 off tap beers, glass wines, rail drinks, and speciality cocktails!
Bryant-Lake Bowl, where a certain sort of perfect life has been achieved, a life where a love of the vine and a fascination with mastering the 7-10 split exist in beautiful harmony. Read more
- Voted Top 10 Bloody Marys! Our favorite is Amanda's Rock n' Roller made with lots of garlic and mild green Tabasco but maybe the Bloody Caesar made with Clamato or the Bloody Beer is more your style.
Get a seat at the bar if you can and watch Casper work; singing, commentary, and all n all a positive person make the experience at the bar on Sunday an awesome brunch. Get the BLB hash.
- Cassie UttNovember 24, 2016Love the small theatre! It's an excellent place to catch local talent. They also have a great date night deal.
Tanya TroskaFebruary 28, 2015Amy's breakfast burrito is always a crowd pleaser, but if you're ever in the mood for something more wholesome, you can't go wrong with the steel cut oatmeal with brown sugar and banana!
Amy BrittMay 25, 2014Delicious, spicy, salty Bloody Marys! The Eggsadilla is great too, and never had a bad brunch item there. Staff is always welcoming and great. Love this place!
Amy SullivanOctober 11, 2014Unique menu! Delicious food, vintage bowling, fun crowd. Servers are a little full of themselves but that may be a result of serving too many hipsters.
Jake SmithMay 20, 2013The BBQ Bowler is the best item on the breakfast menu. Pro Tip: You can substitute breakfast potatoes for the mixed greens. I recommend you do that.
Cole KennedyNovember 27, 2013It's like Lucky Strike, except more hip and authentic and now that I think about it pretty much the only thing they have in common is bowling and booze.
Joe ZSeptember 4, 2013They have a good beer selection, but if you've come to bowl then you need to know how the scoring works. There is no automated system - everything is pencil & paper. And lane #5 curves to the left.
Heavy TableJuly 21, 2014Stop for brunch -- both the biscuits and mushroom gravy and the bison hash stand out as classic examples of Uptown comfort food. Read more
PubPassMarch 5, 2015A vintage bowling alley, restaurant, and cabaret theater, serving up grass-fed beef, sustainably harvested seafood, and lots of micro brews.
eryn oFebruary 2, 2013Gluten free bread and buns available. Omission Pale Ale and Lager in bottles. GF people can *eat a burger* and *drink a beer* in public at the same time. Luxury.
Sharifa SimonAugust 7, 2014Rent out the theater for your next event! Super accommodating and the staff was incredibly nice!
ChrisAugust 1, 2012This is food if your drunk or hung over. All food taste good when your drunk. Even bacon wrap hot dogs in Tijuana. Great place to bowl have fun and drink.
Great place to sit outside with a drink and people watch in an interesting lyn-lake neighborhood.
- Voted Best Bowling Alley by City Pages in 2011! Do-it-yourself scoring and $2 bowling most nights of the week make Bryant Lake Bowl the ideal bowling alley
John Lomnicki SrOctober 19, 2013Been here once, this place was reviewed on Dinners and Dives, it is pretty amazing, I will be back for breakfast
Andrew McKayAugust 10, 2014Vilification Tennis: one weekend a month and all through the Ren Fest, most reservist have a better deal than that.
Andrew MurrayAugust 7, 2014Impress your date by picking up that 7-10 split while crushing a PBR can on your forehead, bro.
Madison KarpanDecember 4, 2012Cheap Date Night is phenomenal. The food here is always spectacular and the drinks are delicious.
Great selection of local beer. Awesome place for people watching.
Food NetworkDecember 1, 2011Guy Fieri found great food at the most unexpected place, a bowling ally where they're serving up bison hash. Read more
Michelle ThayerApril 4, 2010tried the cornmeal walleye strips - green goddess on side with healthy dose of the asian 'chicken' hot sauce - $ 8.95 fabulous!Bowlers - watch out the shoes and floors stick-need to adjust (smile) Read more
The food, the bloodys and the service are top-notch!
Pad Thai is as satisfying as it is surprising to be on the menu
Amanda's is my favorite of the Bloodies. Much respect for 4 of them on the menu. Tart, a little kick, nice thick mix.
Caitlin Erwin-MacDonaldMay 25, 2013Pad Thai is super yummy! And were else can you get Pad Thai in a bowling ally!?
Try the grilled cheese with tomato and garlic. Sensational. Oh, and don't forget the Farm Girl.
The biscuits & gravy are AMAZING!!! Really filling & a great hangover cure after a night of shots & Sleigh Bells underwear dance parties.
Yum! Great beers, relaxed atmosphere, and great in-house made veggie burger.
Sunday's Neighborhood Night is a fabulous, low-key way to end the weekend. Cheap local brews and food, plus $2 bowling.

Stop in for a bottomless cuppa coffee, great good and service!
Benji is a super fantastic server. Be sure to check out his rad ink!
Don't know how to manually keep bowling score? Well, then you're in toubs. Also, the girls bathroom smells like red licorice, which is a good th- NO, excellent thing.
Randy ByeJune 17, 2013Tonight's date night meal was sub par. This is my first date night meal and it didn't live up to the standards of the regular menu.
Avacado, Black Bean, & PepperJack Omelette is a great vegetarian breakfast treat!
Try the white cheese grilled cheese with bacon...to die for!!
John ArchilaNovember 27, 2014Old school bowling. You score yourself. Service is slow though. Fun times.
They got rid of the BBQ Bowler, the best thing on the breakfast menu. Ask nicely and maybe they’ll bring it back.
