Merri-Bowl Lanes

Nice place to bowl. The staff was very nice and helpful during our visit. They have large variety of food and drinks to offer and even an arcade, bumpers and bowling stands to help the Little ones bowl. We came here to help celebrate the Triplets 7th birthday?? and they had lots of fun for their first time bowling ??

This place was absolutely amazing. The service was through the roof 15 out of 10. The kids had a wonderful time and the prices were so right. I was completely blown away by what a great experience. Everything was from setting up our reservation to actually being there and enjoying the night. Top-tier bowling alley with a top-tier staff. Well, done management thank you so much. We definitely made some great memories there.

Great vibes and great customer service. Fair prices. Music were a bit loud maybe if they lowered the music that have been a better experience!

While in town visiting family I was looking for something fun to do in the area and came across this bowling alley on my search. My son and I had so much fun bowling here. The staff was very friendly. Especially Stephanie the cook at the snack bar. She was friendly, funny and quick with our order. She's definitely the type that goes above and beyond. I will be visiting this establishment again the next time I'm in town.

Was just in here, and the service was so good. I had such a great time, especially from Carson at the front counter and Jackson in the snack bar. Both of them helped me out so much. 10/10 Would come again!

A group of friends and I were looking for a fun thing to do nearby to us and figured we would go bowling. And I am so glad we did! We had a great experience and so much fun. Stephanie working the snack bar was the highlight of our night and we will definitely be back soon!

We had a very large event of more than 130 people at Merri-Bowl yesterday. All of the Merri-Bowl staff were absolutely amazing from cooking and serving our food to helping us with shoes, game cards and bowling. Rhonda was particularly helpful and made our bowling event a total success! We will be back since our experience was so much fun and everything ran so smoothly! Thank you all at Merri-Bowl so, so much!

Merri-Bowl Lanes hosted my work (Home Depot) Christmas party and it was BEYOND amazing. The entire staff were all very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The food was great as well. I'll definitely be back

Organized a work gathering at this location. Wasn't sure how it was going to go. They had no bartender until after 530pm on a Friday. But we had a great time! Hostess, Alyssa, was very attentive. We had great drink service by Eva! Everyone had a great night! Dave was attentive and took care of us as well! Kevin almost had a perfect game!

Great atmosphere! Fun times with great people. Stephanie who works at the snack bar is friendly and knowledgeable. Food she sends out is fast and fresh. Amazing service with her.

On 5-10-2025, I was charged for three games instead of two. $8.89 and $17.98. I ordered classic wings an fries from the Snack Bar. I got boneless wings and old fries. I threw the food away. I addressed the issues with the Managet with no resolution. I will dispute the charges with my bank. I like the facility but will not go back because of the above issues.

We had an amazing time at Merri-Bowl! The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and made sure our experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Everyone went above and beyond to provide great service, and it truly made a difference. The lanes were clean, the atmosphere was fun, and the energy was just right. We'll definitely be coming back?thank you to the whole Merri-Bowl team!

Wonderful place to bowl and AMAZING customer service! Yesterday during a weekly bowling family outing, they turned on ?glow bowl.? When we told the young man at the front that one person in our party has epilepsy, he was VERY understanding and happy to help and turned the flashing lights off immediately! Food is always great- pizza, fries, chicken tenders- and are always worth the wait :)

?? Gratitude Post for the AMAZING Merri-Bowl Staff! ?? Our family has been bowling at Merri-Bowl for six years now, and we are beyond grateful for everything this alley and its incredible staff have given us. We first joined right after COVID when most places were still shut down?but Merri-Bowl was open, welcoming, and gave our child a chance to get back to being a kid again through their after-school youth bowling league. ?? Back then, Rich owned Merri-Bowl, and we'll always be thankful he created such a

Amazing upgrades. Food is amazing, great staff. Family friendly. Great summer deals, bday packages, pro shop staff amazing and friendly.. Just amazing all around...did i say the food was amazing.... but it is. Gourmet style! AMAZING!

Staff was helpful and nice! The food was very good and came it hot for our party! The pizza was absolutely delicious! Thank you to all in staff right now! Great job!!!

It?Merri Bowl Is A Great And Friend Place On Top Of Tyrone Good Energy Greeting Us As Soon As We Walked In My Type Of Service.. ???????? Keep Up Your Great Spirit To This Establishment? Will Definitely Be Back And The Food Is Good Especially The Funnel Cake Fries ??

Great atmosphere! Drinks are priced reasonably. Pizza is a little too hot, burnt the roof of our mouths.

I had such a good time and experience! Everyone was so nice, especially Stephanie who works in the kitchen. She is funny. I will definitely be back!

Ms Stephanie was a great help (snack bar)! She spoke professionally when taking to my girlfriends? and my order. Merribowl (Bowlero) is a great place to have a fun time! Go bowling and speak to friends. We appreciate the kindness! Nice employees!

A great overall experience to food convenience to timing and having them bring it to you, free refills and great staffing on all parts especially the drink bar and snack bar. Amazing service definitely my favorite place to bowl practice or PBA

Eva and Carson are the best at Merri-Bowl Livonia? I choose this bowling alley first every time!!!

Lots of lanes and great pro shop. The lady at the front desk is a little dismissive, but it didn't ruin our time. Just hate dealing with her Everytime we come in. Haven't had food there yet but they did have a great special for a pizza and pitcher I thought was worth it.

Expensive. Shoe rental was $7, which is silly. Decent arcade, but half of the games in the arcade were out of order. Food was good, but there wasn't a single highchair in the entire place, which is also silly. How are you going to sell birthday packages for little kids, and not have a single highchair. Caught up in the corporate takeover of bowling alleys, I'll stick to other local places that actually want you to have fun and come back.

Cut my finger while grabbing a house ball, and they want to charge $8.99 a game. Okay.

I had my son's 9th birthday there and was very pleased with ALYSSA and Merribowl's management. There was a tournament going on next to us- which would be frustrating for those members (to have seven little boys cheering). One of them was understandably upset but took it out on the kids in our party. Management stepped in and smoothed it all out. I am so appreciative of the service provided. We will definitely be planning our next even there.

I love the staff here so friendly I came up to get out of the house and the experience was amazing the grill team were busy but pushing orders everyone was moving it's great to see this type of work

Came on Sunday evening with the wife .. had a ball .. good clean fun !! Tyrone was perfect and very nice .. bringing the rest of the family back soon !!

I had a good experience here with Stephanie and Shane. They were both very nice and made me feel welcome.

We attended Merri-Bowl?s New Years Eve party! What a FABULOUS experience! The facilities are beautiful and clean, the staff was friendly and courteous and very attentive! The party package included food, which was exceptionally good! In our party of 8, one of our group cannot eat gluten. The staff had no problem accommodating her gluten free needs. From a bowling perspective, the lanes were perfectly oiled. The improvements they have made are evident. 5 ?? all the way around! There are closer bowling hous

It was fun, they do payments through a tab system and was decently expensive, but I bowled my best game ever here

Amazing time having our sons 3rd birthday. Such a memorable time all due to the staff taking care of every moment. Honestly everyone was so helpful and genuinely happy. What ever they're doing there they do it right. Host your party here we look forward to our daughters and even my birthday coming to celebrate with the whole merri bowl team. A special thanks to April for taking us in with a smile and really creating an out of the box experience for the whole family. April went above and beyond for this memo

Took the family there. We had a great time, the staff was wonderful. We will return.

very clean, I get a couple games in at least twice a month. nice chill vibes with decent music.

This alley is the go to for me and my family always accommodating staff and you can reserve lanes. That convenience alone adds 4 stars, the fifth is for the great food and drinks, alcoholic and non.

It's irritating experience, they are asking 20$ for each pair of shows. That's very weird thing, in the display it is showing 6$ a set of shoe

Dominic, Emily and all rest of staff was amazing tonight. We had a blast!!!

I was, there the day before. to make sure the Food for the birthday party would be there. We got there, the pizza dough was still frozen. We had guests that order there own food. Because they were hungry and the pizza dough was still frozen.I was very upset. Again spoke to April day before. I believe. Sunday. The ladies name was Rhonda. The girl that cooked the pizzas for a very kind and did the best you could do ..photo to follow. The party was Oct 6 2024

Here I found lots of kids and adults having the time of their lives. I love how the House would announce an improved bowling score of a bowler...a 54 from a 50 and other bowlers would clap. This happened more than once. The bowling alley seemed typically of bowling alleys with noise, greasy food, cold drinks, and rented shoes. Don't forget your socks. The highlight of the Saturday afternoon I was there was Cooper, the 15 year old Sheltie therapy dog. Cooper?s job was to walk the full length of the Merri-Bow

My daughter?s school had a field trip today. Most of the children are African American, if not all. All of the staff was pleasant EXCEPT for the representative behind the front desk. From the moment we entered, she was very cold. I felt like she did not want us there. If you've ever had to go through this before, you know what it feels like. The field trip included bowling & the arcade. After the kids finished bowling, the kids were given a $10 card to play games. As soon as the kids entered the arcade, on

We had my grandson's birthday here we had a good time

Great affordable place with a tasty menu and also great staff.

Lanes are short oiled very light coated in the middle hooking way to much in the middle ,good if your a power bowler not good if your not, need more oil in the middle and outsides dryer, it's a reverse block shot very frustrating definitely look for a new center if you love reverse block this is the center for you, fix up the center make it looks fancy but got terrible lane conditions.pins falling before you throw the ball at times always got to keep a eye on if there a pin missing .open bowling prices for

Great food, good fun, and nice drinks!! Family fun function!!

Great staff, lots of fun, great place for hanging out with friends

Wonderful place to be to have fun with co-workers. Yes!

Stephanie Mullen makes the tastiest food. The snack that works the snack bar. ??

We visited this place as part of a family outing. We were impressed with the customer service and the cleanliness of the facility and parking lot. We had a lot of fun.

Had an amazing time at Merri-Bowl! The staff were super friendly and the lanes were super clean. A big thank you to the AGM, April, for helping fix our lanes after they had broken. Will be coming back here again!

It was an amazing service they were smiling and made everyone feel welcome

Just your average bowling alley. It's been modernized at some point in the last decade if that matters to you. I remember going here in my teens during school field trips. We used to buy cigarettes from the vending machine next to the food stand. I'm pretty bummed out that they got rid of everything that made it unique. I'd almost prefer that they left it alone like a time capsule, that's just me. Otherwise if you want a generic bbn pealing experience, look no further. No surprises.

Great food, awesome service! This was a great place even after losing power. They were so kind, and accommodations were amazing for your bowling unit!

Come to hang out with friends most of the time and it's an amazing environment for it.

Stephanie was amazing. Excellent customer service!

Great staff! Love bowling here ever week.

Used to bowl years ago but then Bowlero took over and ruined the place. 0 stars if possible

Shane and Carson was very nice and helpful. The whole team was great. The food was awesome and the drinks

roof was leaking, card machine didn't take cash, food was bad, and machines stole your money only reason it's not one star is because you can still bowl

Great for taking my 5 year old

My first time coming to Merri-Bowl was for the birthday party I booked. I had a great time with Kyle who helped me navigate the best packages for my group. During the event, Alyssa was extremely nice and helpful. The manager checked on us twice and was wonderful to talk to. The food was AMAZING, a bowling alley shouldn't have that good of wings but glad they do! The bar drinks were made well and reasonably priced. Thee bowling setup and experience was great and clean. We loved the seating arrangements and s

We had a great team outing at Merri Bowl Lanes with ~30 people. Staff was very nice and the bowling experience was awesome. Everybody loved the food (chicken tenders, pizza,...). If I was asked what a potential improvement could be: more staff for such big groups. When we arrived it was basically a one man show for shoe rental and bar. Overall: recommended :)

Great rates for open bowling. Lanes are routinely oiled. Lanes can be a tad dark during "cosmic" hours. Food menu has what you'd usually find. Heard league action is fairly fun here. I like it!

Best lanes I've bowled on in Michigan so far.. the staff is excellent very nice. Great environment.. the bar has great seating with a fire place and great sports memorabilia.. snack bar has a great selection and serves the food fast and hot..bathrooms were state of the art.. I didn't have to touch anything to work the stalls nor the sinks. Very nice pro shop with a great selection and friendly knowledgeable staff. Wait staff is very fast. Mechanics keep the approaches flawless. Management was very attentive

This is a great family friendly establishment! The arcade room is something that I've found to be a pretty cool addition! when I came into Merribowl Dave was super helpful helping my group get on a lane and once at the lane. Angel was quick to come to our lane to collect any drink orders we had! When I went to the snackbar Ava was able to help me decide what I'd like to order based off of my interests as well as helping me to order enough food for my group of 5. (the alley sampler was very delicious!) Will

Cute and friendly spot but I couldn't believe how much it was to bowl for an hour! It was over $80 for 2 people to play 4 games (about an hours worth). I should note that they count 2 people playing 4 games as 8 games total which we didn't realize.

I came with a group of friends from college for a fun bowling night. This was our first time ever coming here and we waited 20-30 minutes just to check in. Once we got to our lane we went and got drinks, we proceeded playing but then we were interrupted a couple of times from staff about our IDs after we had been checked at the bar. One of the staff members put his arm on our friend asking for a ID when she wasn't drinking. For the remainder of the night it felt like we had eyes on us from the staff behind

Merribowl is a great lane for bowling and to have a bite to eat I love coming here for the atmosphere and enjoyable bowling highly recommend for anyone looking to bowl

Love this place! Been going for 2 decades. They've made tons of updates. Prices have increased but not ridiculously. Staff are always so friendly. Had a blast, good music, clean environment.

Great food lanes and balls are in great shape and super easy scoreboard and helpful staff

Amber was an amazing person had good conversations,, very friendly. Had an amazing time friendly people all around.

I rate this place a 5 star solely based on the food and bar. My girlfriend and I decided to go in there on a whim. And I'm glad we did. The cheezebread with pepperoni was the best I've had around here as long as I can remember. The bartender was really busy but handled it with ease. She was very attentive to us as well as having to serve the leagues that were there bowling. We were very impressed with everything. And the drinks were well worth there value.

Donat? & Carson were awesome! Made me & my family feel very welcomed!

1st time back since new ownership. A family of 4 with shoes and 2 games was $80. Remodel was nice but won't be going back unless prices come down. Fully expecting the corporate answer after this post.

Not excited about the new ownership. They are remodeling which is great but... doubled drink costs! Made it difficult when running a tab. It has to be with a single source. They don't seem interested in having leagues there. Been told our dues will be going up quite a bit next year.

Reasonably priced open bowling and great food

My family and I went bowling today at Merribowl and the staff was very polite and friendly. If you are looking for a fun experience go to Merribowl. Mary and Teri will take care of you.

In a sea of Monday night testosterone bowlers, our waitresses were definitely ?? earnings their tips! Took a lil bit more time to receive our snack bar items, however was a very nice experience. Front of house was communicating very well with back of house! Things flowing smoothly. Only one suggestion from this "Mystery" guest. Have decks where bowlers can place their bags off the floor. Why? Trip Hazards. Couldn't sit comfortably, had to do hurtles over bowling bags and almost went face first into the ta

I've bowled here for over 20 years and it has always been the premier bowling alley in the area. When Rich took Merri Bowl over all of the renovations he did made this place what it was. Great bar, great pizza and snacks, and all very affordable. Sad to say after dozens of leagues and many years here we will never be returning. Merri Bowl was recently sold to a large bowling corporation named Bowlero. This place has severely gone downhill ever since. Prices for open bowling have tripled, bar prices have dou

Great bowling alley, staff is very friendly and the pizza was soooo good !

Won't be going back after this league ends. After several years on the same league I won't be back. Beer prices have gone up 3X since new management. The classic Merri-bread I've enjoyed for years is gone. The current cheese bread is a comically small sized portion for the price. Id like the old high top tables back. These new ones blow. The collapsible shelf knee knocker is utterly useless. The old waitstaff and bar staff seemed flustered, if they're still working. The new staff is clueless. Spend your mo

My family and my league have been bowling here for several years. Since the new owners took over, everything at this bowling alley has change for the worse, except for the staff. The prices have gone up, the food has gotten much worse, the lanes break down every time our league is here to bowl. My family has been very disappointed with everything here? I wish things would have ?stayed close to the same? like we were told at the beginning of our season. We will not be coming back after this season.

Last night was the icing on the cake. Bowlero has absolutely ruined the house. It wasn't the nicest in the area as is. However, neither is our Friday night league. We all work, have families etc. It was our Friday fun league. Well with new ownership...it's far from that. It's gotten so bad our league is already in talks with other local houses to move to. But from food and drink, to cost of open bowling etc I'd avoid this and go elsewhere who hasn't taken the corporate plunge. $71 for 2 pitchers is simply

I was waiting for a photo we took with our lovely hostess before I made my review, however I will add it later. I am a mom to an only child and birthday season is always stressful for me. Well Merri-Bowl Lanes took all that stress off me!!! My 10 year old and her friends had so much fun!!! It was the perfect place for everyone young and young at heart. I can not say enough THANK YOU!!!

Great staff, great ambiance and a great time!!

This used to be a fun place for our church league to bowl. Not anymore. It's $12 for large French fries. A pop is $5, doesn't matter its refillable but who drinks that much pop? They started charging for shoes in the middle of the season. They changed our start times. We didn't get our end of the season pizza and pop party because they didn't return multiple messages to set it up. The best people, friendly and attentive are the people in the concession area. Pretty sure we're looking for some place

Awesome alley, friendly staff. They handled the tournament very well. They brought a youth choir in and announced teams for the tournament. Ball return and scorer software is upgraded. 14 balls on a lane! And no back ups. Approach was nice and lanes weren't too dry or saturated.

Took my toddler and baby here to cure the winter blues and to get a change of pace. With hindsight/common sense, I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU BRING TODDLER AND BABY TO A BOWLING ALLEY. I cannot stress enough how thoughtful and helpful the staff was. Once the kids are old enough we will be customers for life

Poor customer service arrogant front desk behavior. I took my group for a teamwork building ever after lunch around 1:50pm. We called days ago to reserve but reception desk mentioned no need to reserve, first come first served. When I am there with my team front desk lady reacted unwelcoming without any ?greet? and not willing to give us lanes for 12 players on spot. There were plenty of lanes available for 2 games only. Finally, she chanrged us 3 lanes for all. On our way back no ?Thank you? and said leave
