Dust Bowl Lanes and Lounge Reviews
I came here tonight for my birthday and I had a blast! Everyone was so nice and can't come back❤
We had a blast at Dust Bowl Lanes! The staff was incredibly friendly and made sure to adhere to proper sanitization methods and wore masks the whole time. I highly recommend making a reservation with them! Also best score I've ever bowled... good mojo 😁
I thought I loved the Dust Bowl before, now I can say I really love the Dust Bowl!!
Back in December I made a reservation for a lane then later received a phone call informing me that they accidentally double booked their lane. They told me they would cover my tab if I wanted to reschedule. Fast forward to March, a large group of friends I reserved a lane. I walked up to the bar to ask if I could still use that offer for my drinks that night. Honestly, I was mentally prepared...read full review

Dust Bowl Lanes and Lounge is a neat retro-style bowling alley located downtown. The hostess is friendly, and it’s recommended to make a reservation, as the place can get quite full. The alley has a private room that takes up two lanes, and there are six regular lanes. While the space is small, it features comfortable couches. The establishment also has a full-service bar, food, and a karaoke room. It feels more "hip" compared to traditional bowling alleys and is located in the heart of MacArthur Park in Little Rock.
The reviews praise the delicious food, particularly the wings and onion rings, as well as the friendly and accommodating staff. Customers also appreciate the vintage and intimate feel of the bowling alley, which is rare to find. One reviewer mentioned that some of the flooring near their lane needed repair, but overall, the experience was enjoyable. The staff, especially Kate, was noted for going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and cared for, and the prices are considered great. The bar staff was friendly and attentive, making drinks and taking care of visitors. Families and groups with kids have had a wonderful time, with many expressing intent to return for future visits. The atmosphere remains clean, comfortable, and fun for all ages.
Recent visitors say that if you're looking for fun rather than serious bowling, this place is great, especially for groups. The approaches might be sticky, making sliding impossible, but the bar, food, and drinks are excellent. The karaoke lounge looks like fun, though no one was using it during some visits. The venue is known for its friendly staff, helpful service, and a lively, vintage vibe that makes it a unique spot in downtown Little Rock.
