Great place. Food/service was phenomenal. Surprisingly quite for having a 6 lane bowling alley in the same area as eating.

Always great food!

Small bar and dining room area with bowling. Food looks good (haven't actually tried it yet) and small bar selection with a decent beer on tap served by friendly people
Peter Barrett
Food was quite food, service was fast and friendly. Reasonable prices and comfortable seating. Not many beers on tap, though.

Located at 420 N Olympic Ave in Arlington, WA, The Alley Bar & Grill is a gritty, hard-hitting bowling alley that roars with raw power and bold flavors, built for tough guys who live for a challenge. This ain’t no soft spot—six battle-scarred wooden lanes dare you to step up, lit by 18 recessed can lights that blaze down like a spotlight on a heavyweight ring, casting a fierce glow over a space that’s all muscle and grit. The vibe is pure, unfiltered testosterone: the crack of pins, the growl of laughter, and the clink of cold beers make this place a fortress of brotherhood. The food here is a gut-punch of satisfaction, crafted for warriors who don’t mess with frills. Their burgers, hand-formed and grilled to perfection, are a meaty beast—sink your teeth into a bacon cheeseburger that’s dripping with primal juiciness, paired with fries that crunch like a knockout blow. The chicken strips are a rugged bite of tender, crispy glory, while the mozzarella sticks ooze with cheesy defiance, daring you to stop at just one. For the real tough guys, the wings come in hot, packing a fiery punch that’ll test your mettle and leave you sweating like you just bowled a perfect 300. Locals swear by the BLT, a no-nonsense classic that delivers every time with fresh, bold bites. The bar is the heart of this beast, those 18 can lights making every drink look like a trophy. Pound a Mai Tai—a local legend—or grip a craft beer as you watch the action through the windows between the dining area and lanes, passing brews to your crew like ammo in a firefight. The staff, like the tough-as-nails Katie, are the kind of crew you want in your corner, serving up cold ones and hard-earned respect with every pour. With bumpers and ramps for the young bloods and a patio for when you need to step out and breathe, The Alley Bar & Grill is a fortress where tough guys come to dominate the lanes and the table. Call 360-435-8600 to claim your spot, and step into this Arlington stronghold ready to strike hard and eat harder.

They were going to close but enough of us showed up so they stayed open for a couple of rounds.
Great throwback experience, please keep this place a secret. It met so many of the check boxes!!

This place place was an absolute gem- amazing staff, super cozy fun atmosphere and original equipment from the 1950s. $2 Jell-O shots (because why not?), kid friendly environment and perfect music selection. Plan to go back often! Kids and adults had a blast! Also in a world of overpriced everything, they charge $25 an hour as many frames as you want ( manual scorecards). Loved it!

Consistently good food, service never disappointing. If you like spicy, horseradish and their 10 star hot sauce are HOT.
