Nick G. • December 3, 2011This place looks like and reminds me of a bowling alley at a ski lodge. By that I mean that it is awesome and the best bowling alley I've ever been to.

David K. • January 17, 2016Such a fun place for bowling and lots and lots of lanes so you never have to wait.

Mazda • October 29, 2010Southport Lanes & Billiards is a bowling and billiard establishment that boasts one of only ten hand-set bowling alleys in the country.

John R D. • September 22, 2019What was I thinking? I needed a quick bite before a film. I didn’t notice the place had a further-in bowling alley camouflaged by an outdoor patio restaurant and bar. Cigarette smoke pervades. Ugh!

Peter B. • December 27, 2010Best bowling alley I've been too. They help everyone pick their balls (the part I find most frustrating) and hand them out with your shoes. It is super clean and they have a full bar.

Ethan B. • March 19, 2010This place has a great bar experience for not that much of a price.

PUMA • July 12, 2011Bowl In style at Lucky Strike! One of Chicago's best bowling allies. Remember life's more fun when you're keeping score!

Shannon J. • July 24, 2012Open late, this bowling alley isn't just for students (however students get a MAJOR discount). It's usually not too busy either. It's on campus so check it out for good CLEAN fun!

Steve ‘Pudgy’ D. • September 30, 2012Find the subtle trap (which I endorse) on its draft (avoid saying "tap" in a bowling alley) beer menu.

Barry B. • March 14, 2019This place is awesome! Such a cool environment with bowling arcade pool and ping pong with a really cool beer list.

Elmer Z. • November 29, 2016Not the nicest, not the best food, not the best to be in. But it's ok if you wanna kill some time with friends and have nothing better to do.

Shannon J. • July 24, 2012Get here early and you can walk right in. Sometimes they card at the top of the stairs sometimes they don't. It's a bowling alley and they have food and sometimes they have dancing on weekends!

The SNS Post • May 12, 2012GREAT bowling spot on the weekends.
