I really enjoy bowling and the lanes and balls aren’t too bad but every time I have gone to riverside lanes the employees are always in such a bad mood and don’t treat there customers right. I suggest going to a different bowling alley where the people that work there are actually friendly people. There is a bowling alley in Anacortes that has much more friendly employees. Won’t be going back again anytime soon.

This alley is not bad and just okay. It’s another old rural, retro alley with the dated ball return and«house» balls. The house balls consist of used, random old personal balls(some with really weird finger layouts; old Ebonites and Columbias…) and factory house balls in various condition. The lanes are pretty slick/slippery and the wood approach looks kind of old, «sanded» look and a little dry dirty. It looked like some league action was going on; that’s always cool to watch. And if you’re curious, I didn’t bring my own Balls & Shoes… this was more conveinent to just using house equipment… something I haven’t done in a very… very… very long… time… I’d say over 10 years… my fingers hurted.

$ 12 for cosmic bowling isn’t bad. It seemed like any other bowling alley. Plus, we bowled with my friend’s minister! How cool is that? He was her cousin but still…

Had a good time bowling here. There’s automatic scoring, but otherwise the amenities are lacking. Maybe I’m spoiled from playing at a PBA facility, but the lanes weren’t straight, the lighting was ugly, and the seating area was too small and from the 70s. Plus there were people smoking right outside the door, drawing it right into the building. Snack bar counter is shared with the bar, be prepared to wait. On the other hand, there are dozens of pull tabs to choose from if that’s your thing. Inexpensive, on a Sunday morning we paid $ 1.50 a game.
