AMF Sheridan Lanes

Beautiful upgraded bowling alley — POOR, POOR, POOR customer service. The staff that you pay for the lanes seem like they hate their job. They have the stankiest mean faces I’ve ever seen. It was as if they were annoyed to take my business. When I went to tell them that my lane was messed up, one of the girls caught an attitude cause I didn’t know exactly what was wrong with it. All I knew was that the pins weren’t coming down and she said «well, I need more details — I need to know what to say to my mechanic» and in my mind I’m thinking, ‘well I’m not a pro bowler, I paid money to have some fun… Why should I know how to specifically describe what the issue was… How about just tell your mechanic to come down to lane 2 and check it out?!‘
Anyway, crappy service — but aesthetically nice place… 2 stars because it was pretty :)

Since the renovations, this place looks spiffier than it used to. It’s got its pros and cons like all venues do.
At the bar area there are two pitchers one w/​water and one w/​ice water and some plastic cups nearby. — It’s nice that there’s free water for the taking and it’s a bit unclean as anyone could sneeze or cough or drop something over it.
The bathrooms are small and only one stall per door. I think they could have better managed that for lines and whatnot.
There’s efficient use of space to provide more lanes. They have two areas for lanes, technically three with one service walkway dividing.
Sometimes our balls would frequently get stuck and we had to call personnel over to help. I think we contacted someone about 5 times during our time there. Get someone to fix the kinks!
They’re quite pricey but it’s a trade-​off. It cost $ 22.00+/- for two games and shoes on a Saturday night. The plus to that is you can stay as long as you’d like. You’re not rushed to finish a game before your time is up! The downside is that you’re a few dollars short in your wallet for the next fun shenanigan in your life!
Some of our buddies ended up drinking and eating and chatting on the side, while those of us who wanted to play, forked up the money to do so. When setting up the board — you can choose what kind of display or background, which is kind of neat. I noticed a nautical one, and it was cute to watch on occasion. The fact that we weren’t pressed for time, was nice because we could take our sweet time and enjoy with all players and those who opted out from a bowling match.
I got two strikes the night that we went, so that made me happy too!
I didn’t eat or drink anything aside from the water provided — but everyone who did seemed to really enjoy the french fries and beers.
If you’re looking for a nice date spot, this would be the place. Saturday night became slightly more hectic after we started to bowl around 9pm. We went there, because the original destination we had in mind had bowling leagues and all lanes were taken. We tried contacting other nearby bowling alleys and also faced the same issue. As a word of advice: call ahead for any bowling alley to determine if there are any leagues and/​or if lanes are available.
Happy bowls!

I really had a great time here attending a 5^th Birthday party for my friend’s son. Located off Sheridan Blvd and Jericho Turnpike and convenient to Queens and Long Island residents alike.
1^st let me preface this by saying I HATE BOWLING in a group. It can often get boring and annoying sharing 1 lane. BUT this place has changed the face of bowling for me. This is like the promised land of bowling. PLENTY of lanes to satisfy large parties. This place changes the dynamic here for me. I found this alley to be… not much like an alley. This place is very modern, clean and. REFRESHING! I wouldn’t mine a group night date here or throwing a bowling party just for the hell of it. It’s equipped with a FULL BAR that features drink specials advertised THU-​SU. Large Margarita bowls and specialty cocktails to match. While the kids bowled and partied, the parents were getting TIPSY.
The staff here is amazing. Very professional and aiming to please. My girlfriend had pizza, chciken tenders and fries served for the little minions and they were tasty, not overcooked and perfect quality. The kids were in heaven. The music they played was upbeat and live. I love the fresh look of the décor here. Red Leather seating, black and white theme. I will be back like Arnold Swartzenegger.

We come here for a few Sundays in a row. This place is great, and here’s why. First all, parking is not a problem at all. It has 2 parking lots and usually the one right in front of it gets full at night, the 2^nd parking lot across the street is almost always empty. The food is hot and fresh, but a bit overpriced. This place is family friendly. Even though i came here with my boys, I see families here with kids all the time. There’s always leagues going here when we’re there, but they usually have their own section, and not interfere with others. Usually it’s about a 20 – 30 min wait on Sunday night.

Hour and fifteen minute wait on Saturday night. Dont like the prices either– wayyyy too expensive

Totally did not know it was all u can bowl when i went here. Probably a deal they had going on. Ive been to a lot of bowling alleys and this place. Wow. Its soooooo clean in here and really nicely done as far as layout goes. I really like how they do things here. I wont be going anywhere else for bowling. Thats for sure

I wish i could go negative i would go with negative 5. The service here sucks, my first and last time i come here. When i approached the counter i was ignored, i finally got the waitress attention i asked if i could get served and very rudely she told me to wait because shes was watching the football game really!!! Go steelers? Im glad they lost the following week lol to top it off i finally got my drinks and she looked at me expecting a tip yea ok heres your tip fix up your attitude and maybe the next person will tip but not me im not going back ever I DONT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!!!

The place is very big & have lots of lanes that is the only reason for a star. No one was in sight to help out clean up. Who ever was in our lane previously left a gross mess and no one came to clean up. I forgot to use the coupon I had when I paid and of course there was nothing they could do about it. It was $ 20 off … Seriously nothing at all after I spent $ 80. It really put me in a foul mood. I mentioned it before I even finished a game. A place that is not accommodating is not worth coming back to.

Wow! I was not expecting to like this bowling alley as much as I did.
Once you walk in, you’ll notice that this is not the typical built-​many-​years-​ago-​and-​never-​touched-​since kind of bowling alley that I’ve come to love in the suburbs of New York City over the years. The bowling alley is very updated, with squishy red benches for seating, a bar that wraps around the corner to the other side and is open to the alley (instead of hidden behind sketchy doors), big screen TVs above the alleys, and scoreboards with customizable themes. There’s a seating area by the bar with small tables and big armchairs. And it was very clean.
We went on a Tuesday, which turned out to be $ 2 game (per person) and $ 2 shoe rental night. I think that PBRs (albeit in small plastic cups) were also $ 2.
We were really excited about the price since we came on an unplanned date night. However, every high school and college student in the area were also very excited about the price, so the place was full of a much younger crowd. This was fine, though we did have to wait about ten minutes for a lane, and they did not have enough size 12 shoes for my boyfriend to wear. The woman let him bowl in his street shoes, and said «I won’t charge you for the shoe rental.» I thought that was kind of self-​explanatory since there wasn’t a shoe rental happening to charge us for.
I did like that they do not take your shoes when you get your rental shoes. You don’t have to worry about having a Larry David situation where someone knowingly walks off with your shoes.
Anyway, we were placed at one of the side lanes where the area behind the lane is shorter and there is no real seating area other than the tables. This is one of my only complaints about the bowling alley because we just stood around awkwardly between frames, and there wasn’t a very good place for me to store my belongings. I had to leave it on a chair at the table and would have preferred to be able to tuck it under a bench where we could sit.
I walked around the alley looking for a rack of balls but found that there were no free balls. As it turns out, the desk people informed me that if you need a ball that’s not at the lane you’ve been assigned to, you have to walk around to the other lanes and ask around for the ball you’re looking for. There are storage racks under each lane, and it’s safe to say that if it’s down there, no one is using it. Still, I’d rather not have to interrupt someone else’s social gathering to find my 6 pound pink ball with medium finger holes.
I otherwise really enjoyed our time at the bowling alley. We didn’t try any of the food or drinks, but we had a great time just bowling. Occasionally our balls got caught at the end of the lane and bobbed around trying to get caught by the ball return, but the bowling was otherwise smooth and uneventful. The scoreboard had cute options for the display. My boyfriend chose the spooky Halloween display which had cute Frankensteins and witches cheering you on even when you only got one pin down.
I also really dug that they had two screens playing music videos the entire night. The songs went from current tunes to 80s one hit wonders and a few things in between. It was a nice touch, and fun to sing along with.
Overall it cost us just over $ 10 to bowl two games and rent a pair of shoes and have a really great priceless time. I think they have specials of some sort almost every day (I noticed a sign for $ 3 games/​shoes on Sundays and another sign advertising college nights on Thursdays), so I’ll definitely be back again (but most likely on a Tuesday!)

Nice lanes out here in Long Island. Not like the over used, over abused lanes in the inner city that I am used to. Bar was fully stocked which is nice and there was some good food options to boot. Our group took 4 lanes for 2.5 hours and we always have a good time. I can’t comment on the shoe rental quality or the rental bowling balls since I use my own. I have bowled here a couple of times so far and will probably be back next thanksgiving day

Decided to take the kids here on a Saturday night. Kinda packed, but they have allot of lanes, so the line moves quickly. Fun place to hang out, bowl and have some drinks! Wouldn’t recommend the food.

Nice bowling alley with plenty of lanes, helpful staff, and private parking lot. Most recently brought my son here for his pal’s birthday party and a good time was had by all. It was a Sunday afternoon/​evening in the summer time and there were only a few other people there so the kids practically had run of the place, which was nice.

Great place for bowling. It’s clean and definitely one of the nicer, well-​maintained bowling spots to go to. The display is modern and has cool themed scoring boards.
Tuesdays are the best deal. $ 2 drinks, games, and shoe rentals.
They also have midnight bowling, although I’m not sure what time it starts. It is a great atmosphere for dates, small gatherings, and kids parties.
If your in the mood to kick some bowling butt, Sheridan Lanes is the place to do it.

Great place for a Kids birthday party. The place has been remodeled and is really family friendly. You don’t even need to rent shoes anymore as long as you are wearing rubber-​ed soled shoes. They even have a family bathroom so someone should let Ashton Kutcher know :-0 Only suggestion is when booking your party make sure to ask not to have the lanes by the front door, very heavily trafficekd area and a little annoying when trying to blow out birthday candles and having people constantly walk thru the middle.

I went there on a Saturday at 2PM with an all you can bowl for two hour Groupon. To begin with, the Groupon asks that you call first and make sure there is availability. I called a few other AMF bowling alleys and all of those answering the phones were rude. Then I called AMF Sheridan Lanes and the girl who answered was very nice and actually sounded excited that we were stopping by!
When we got there, the girl thanked us for calling and gave us our shoes. There were a lot of children there with their families, but it wasn’t too bad. They were mostly gone by a little after three and an older crowd came in. They had music videos playing along to the music. Mostly ‘tween music with a little throwback to Backstreet Boys and The All American Rejects.
We also ordered chicken fingers, fries, and a shake from the grill and they were all delicious and not overly priced.
The bowling alley was clean, the bathrooms were clean; I definitely plan on going back!
I see a lot of people complaining lanes weren’t open, but I think if you call first you won’t have to waste a drive and you’ll know whether or not to go. :)

When my boyfriend said he was going to take me here for our next date night, I was a little skeptical because I’m not much of a bowler. But I have to say, this is probably the nicest bowling alley I’ve ever been to on Long Island and Queens. There are so many lanes, and plenty of space to bring large groups of people. It wasn’t crowded at all for a Friday night at 8pm, and the lights/​music made it feel cozy. With such a clean and modern design, I’m sure this place was only recently renovated a few years ago. Prices are reasonable for games, shoe rentals, and drinks at the bar. Had a great time, and will definitely come back!

My friend and I went in there today around 6pm to play, even though the place seemed half empty and there were several lanes available we were told we couldn’t play until 9pm because of «league play». Really? Thank you very much AMF, I will go somewhere else next time.

Great place for a fun family bowling. You should bring your whole family here. The price isn’t too bad and you can enjoy two hours here without even noticing the time.

New owner ship is great. Every Tuesday they have 2 dollar shoes 2 dollar games and 2 dollar beers you can’t get better than that!

love that they have good happy hour specials ($ 1 shots) and I’m lucky that I get better as I drink more. The lanes are nicely spaced out and there are lots of beers on tap. I was starving and ordered the appetizer platter and unfortunately it took forever for them to get it out to us. Still we enjoyed ourselves at this place — especially since they offered a Groupon deal — 2 people unlimited bowling for 2 hrs at $ 17! Can’t beat that!

The last time I went bowling it was like $ 5 bucks a game and to rent shoes was $ 2. I was SHOCKED at the price. $ 70 later, 3 people were bowling. Doesn’t that seem ridiculous?! I don’t even LIKE to bowl.
After my visit here last weekend, I decided I will probably never go bowling again for these reasons:
1. WAY TOO MANY KIDS. Don’t these kids have curfews? I just wanted to watch the college basketball game at the bar for a few minutes and bratty 10 year olds were getting shirley temples all night.
2. My score was a 54. — without bumpers i suck.
3. It just seemed really dark, dirty and dingy.
random — kettle & soda was $ 7 — generous on the vodka and pretty cheap.

Best lanes ever, and their food is a plus. My go-​to bowling place. Sheridan is spacey and they also have great deals. I always call them in advance to make sure there are lanes available. The workers are all very friendly too. Also, they changed the bowling machine system (different themes n etc)

Plenty of lanes which is good. Beer is priced pretty well, and the pitchers have ice blocks in it to keep it cold. It’s a bit pricey to bowl, but nonetheless a fun time.

The place is huge and we had an easy time getting shoes and bowling balls even though it was a busy Saturday night. The bathrooms were really dirty though. And it was hard to get the bartender’s attention to order drinks. They also cut our game off during the 10^th frame, so I guess they are very literal with their 2-​hour prepaid deal. Overall, we had a great time and would play here again.
