Colonial City Lanes, Mt Vernon OH

The place was very nice. We couldn't find any balls larger than 6 or 8 lbs and the lane we used had to be fixed after almost every 5 or 6 bowls due to our balls getting stuck. Since we paid 50 dollars for 2 hours it was very annoying to have to stop and go ask for help. But overall we had a good time.

I wish the lanes would truly post when open bowling is rather than just their open hours. It would be nice to be able to set up reservations so that you are sure to get lanes and not just first come first serve.

This was my first time at Colonial and I have to say, while they do have the old school screens, I was glad to see it. They're much easier to operate.

As far as the lanes are concerned, we were able to quickly get set on a lane and the accessibility was vital as one of our party was in a wheelchair. We had no issue getting her onto the lane and they had ramps for her to use.

The only issues we ran into were with the lane. One ball got stuck and the ball conveyor left a decent rubber skid mark on the ball, but the lady running the desk addressed it immediately and cleaned the ball herself.

Also, my brother and his girlfriend enjoyed the bar food, so that's always a plus.

Overall, would definitely return and will definitely recommend this place for bowling to friends that live close by.

I actually went to Pirates Cove the Pizza place in the bowling ally. Colonial Lanes has something for everyone. On one side there is Pirates Cove Pizza, in the middle is the bowling ally which has always been kept up well and is a fun time, and a bar that doubles as a local outside concert venue in the summer. Good times every time I've been there and give utilized all the venue options over the years.

Recently moved to the Mt. V area and have been here multiple times. We adore it! Staff has always been awesome!
