Pretty good food. Fair prices. Friendly bar staff.
The better bowling in the city. Nice staff of people. Food is good and the prices aren't too bad depending on what day you go. Weekends are pretty much the main times this place gets packed out and they have Lazer night bowling witch is very fun. I will go here before any other bowling spot and they do have plenty to choose from its just this one is better suited for my needs.
Some of the best bowling experiences in Wisconsin happen here! For years now, Schwoegler’s has opened their doors early on Saturdays to make way for Special Olympians. Barkeep Sharon is pure bliss with her Scottish accent! Few places can you get a taco salad anymore and Schwoegler’s does not disappoint in the food department either.
Great place to bowl, eat, drink and sing Karaoke. Met a lot of good people there.
Great bowling alley and staff!
The Worst place in town they dont care about you… its a shitty place…
I've been loving this place for years. Bowling, food, bartenders, drinks are all excellent!
I really don't like being less than positive. Staff is great, they were following marching orders. We arrived Friday for a group to run the Madison mini marathon Saturday morning. Left Friday night karaoke, because of the morning events, and decided we would stay the course to come back for Saturday night karaoke.
Arrive Saturday, at 9. Packers preseason game on. Preseason, no one should give any shits about game on. They stuck with it, despite no one watching and playing music over it.
Left at 10. A solid hour to go in the meaningless game. Bad choice for me, but likely not anything that hurts the bottom line. That said, use some common sense.
Great pinball and bowling!
We’ve played volleyball at Scwoegler’s for years and fear we likely will not return. The sand levels are dangerously low, which sounds like an exaggeration except we’ve had multiple people get multiple pretty bloody abrasions from scraping concrete. We’ve complained more than once in the comments for games but unfortunately nothing has happened. Maybe we’re just incredibly bad given our win/loss rate (I never realized how intense and competitive the Madison beach volleyball game is) but I feel like being bad should not be an injury risk. Also a carbliss is $7.50 lol

I ask my boyfriend every single week if we can go have fish fry Friday at the bowling alley. The staff is amazing and attentive, the beer is always cold, the food is great and reasonably priced, and the vibes are always great. If you’re looking for lively game day atmosphere or a nice meal with friends - this is the place to be. We come back time and time again!!!
Don’t ever come to this place especially if Sharyn is running the place. Very racist and rude disrespectful attitude towards my friends and family. She kick us out for something that wasn’t even our fault but her employees did and threatened to call the cops on us. She had to closed down our game when we still had 30mins left and everyone in the building. We’ve asked for a refund but she denied it and said “bye” and refund the other customer.
Hopefully the Owner who owns the place fired her asap and responded back to us for a refund. Ridiculous!!! Stay away!!

On June 29, 2025, my family came out to have an outing and fun night but was sadly ruined by a bartender named Sharyn. Whilst buying drinks she questioned intention and refused to accept id from another state. Sharyn threatened to kick us out and called the cops, due to the fact that we had plastic cups that was given from her workers. She shut down the entire bowling alley and refunded everyone but us. As a regular this behavior is bewildering and disgusting as we believe it came from a racial standpoint and I just cannot believe that this experience had happened at a place that I used to enjoy a lot of my time in. We are not coming back and I recommend you to find somewhere else.
