Great atmosphere and good food. For a Saturday afternoon with a bowling alley, dining area and full bar, there was not enough staff present. First time visiting! Loved the experience with the family!

This place was a great fun way for family and friends to have bowling darts and pool. Great pizza, burgers and fries.

My review is based off my experience of bowling and drinks. We reserved online because we know the lanes are limited and popular on the weekend. We paid the $10 deposit for our reservation but was unaware of how much it would cost because they don't reveal the price ahead of time. We got there, got our shoes and order our drinks to start. We bowled for an hour and a half, ordered one drink a piece and are ticket was nearly $100 for two ppl. I've bowled at almost every location in Louisville and never got close to that amount for the time we were there. If you want to visit the oldest bowling alley around I'd say go for it but for me personally that was a one time experience.

We had a wonderful time! Vernon lanes is a great spot to host a family or work function! The staff is friendly and catering menu offers a great selection. Thank you all for a great experience!

We did not eat. We play darts and my wife had a few drinks. This place was amazing. I'll go back.

Such a fun and cool vibe! The lanes themselves just give nostalgia, they also offer good options for food! The main level is wheelchair accessible, they also have ramps for wheelchairs to get on the lanes. There is a basement/downstairs with another bar and coin games, I don’t believe that’s accessible as I haven’t seen an elevator while there but I could be wrong. The bowling isn’t terribly priced but also not cheap, in my opinion. Fun experience!

1st time here, was a surprise for my birthday and it did appear very fun and bowling was exciting. The little home made wooden ramp has a hole in it that was challenging to make sure I didn't loose a wheel on my wheelchair feel into it. But the lanes were great and I did have my own ramp and so I didn't use theirs. I know that everyone with me was very happy with the food. I did hear that the fried pickles talked like some thing else had been fried in the grease before them, that they didn't have a pickle taste. But the ranch dressing was great. Spinach artichoke dip was good. The automatic tip for just 6 people, that was not expected. The music was loud and that made it really hard for us to all visit, but we I guess could have gone away from bowling lanes?

Good food and good beers on tap. I haven't bowled yet, but they have 2 nice pool tables downstairs
Nice place, food is typical bar food. It's decent. It's only like 8-10 lanes.. The shoes run small. Also, they do not have automatic score keeping. You must keep your own score digitally.

What a fun time! Went in on a Saturday and had brunch. If you order off the brunch menu, it makes your bowling game (for each person that orders off the brunch menu) $5. Food was good. Pretty standard, nothing too over the top. Nicely stocked bar and very friendly staff. The history of the place is pretty cool too! 10/10 romper friendly restrooms. IYKYK! Definitely a must see for a historic Louisville spot.

A good bar to have drinks, but I wouldn’t bother with the bowling if you’re a passionate bowler. I think we walked in expecting a bowling alley first, bar second. If you are a super casual bowler, don’t let this stop you from going.
Why do I say this?
The bowling hardware is very out of date. Sometimes the lanes would not re rack the pins right. Staff just throw up their hands if you ask to correct an issue with the pins re racking. I didn’t mind the scoring app to assist with tracking, but the hardware issues make it tough to sync it with the scoring software.
