Fun spot for a casual night out! The bowling lanes and game tables were a hit, and the atmosphere felt lively without being overwhelming. Food was decent—nothing gourmet, but it pairs well with drinks and games. Service was friendly, though it got a bit slow when the place filled up. Great for groups or a laid-back date night, just don’t come expecting fine dining.

This place is amazing! My partner and I have gone here for my birthday and his company's work outing and each time was a huge success!
The food is great quality for bowling food, and very diverse. The service is impeccable, they're very attentive and polite. The atmosphere is great & always such a fun time! 5/5 stars and would recommend for a night out, a birthday party, a company gathering or a chill bowling night with your friends!

My dad and us had so much fun bowling one day. We did movies then bowling! I definitely would come back it’s about $33 per person for the hour which was bout 2 games depending how fast ppl bowl. We ended up just having water bc we whist came from breakfast and the movies so we were not hungry and we were headed to dinner after bowing so we just paid for the game but had a bunch of fun!

A fun, impactful destination for games, drinks, and casual American food—ideal for group outings or celebrations. Expect a lively atmosphere and decent menu, though it leans toward being a bit pricey and occasionally crowded with event crowds.

Emond was such a pleasure . Made my first day Chicago an experience! My cousins and I enjoyed ourselves. Made this AMAZING mocktail. If I’m ever in town again I will stop by!

We were unable to pull up our first free game of bowling from the app, but management was extremely helpful in figuring it out to ensure we could bowl like we came there to do! We didn’t order food cause I ended up not feeling that great - BUT our server came by like 3 times in a 20 min span. Excellent service overall and suuuper cool vibes and setup! A lhidden gem great for fun new bowling experience

The food was good. I ended up getting the honey habanero wings and the cheese and bacon waffle fries. The wings didn’t have a hint of honey though. Prices were kind of pricey.

Bowling was fun.

Oh and Jason the manager is fine as hell 🤭

We held a party at Kings and it was the best party I have ever hosted! The kids AND adults had a wonderful time, and everyone raved about the food. Working with the event planning team was so easy and all of the special touches they added made our event really memorable. We'll definitely be back!

We had a great time, ultimately, but I have to be honest I do feel like I sort of got the runaround when booking/getting organized. It took several back and forth emails and phone calls with the events manager to finally understand that there was no option cheaper than $58/pp for any sort of event.

There was no menu shared with me that clearly stated the price breakdown, and when I asked questions I didn't feel like I got straight answers. I was informed that that $58/pp cost was inclusive, but found out after paying the deposit that it was pre-tax/gratuity. So it ended up being $80/pp for my party of 9, bar not included. Which felt QUITE expensive for what we got!

By that point it was too late to book anywhere else, so I just went with it. The food was adequate and it was nice to have free soft drinks but I definitely don't feel like I got $80/pp worth, especially considering it was a cash bar on top. Plus we each only got to play two games (and we were playing fast and paying attention)!

I really wanted to love Kings, but I don't know that I'd plan another party there. I will say the manager Jason was helpful, and they made sure to bring out a nice sundae in honor of our birthday celebration. They also played along with silly party names and helped us reserve a table afterward to keep hanging out for a bit... but I still felt overall like it was not the most above-board experience. I'm bummed about that!

I think there's a way to have a really fun party there. The atmosphere is fun, they have music videos playing with nostalgic hits, and the vibes are casual and chill. I think having one lane with 3-5 people could be perfect. But for group events that aren't corporate, it seems they haven't quite figured out the balance yet.

Thanks Kings for hosting our birthday party, and hopefully I'll see you again with a smaller group someday!

Our work event (25 people) was fantastic. We were all surprised and delighted by the food (Boom Boom Shrimp, Chicken Sliders and the pizza was 10/10). Mari, Jason, Layla and Kelly were great throughout the process and the night. We felt like kings at Kings. Could not recommend enough.
