Stopped in to check out the bowling alley, my step son is a huge bowler. They treated him like family! Let him set some pins, and absolutely made his weekend!

The place has a ton of character. The owners are a gas.

Had the BEST time at the Holler house last night. The owners could not have been nicer to us. We were late for our bowling reservation and they welcomed us with open arms, adjusted our time slot and told us great stories about themselves, their family and their bar/bowling alley. The bowling was a blast. After bowling we went upstairs and chatted some more with the owners and left them with hugs and a promise to return. SO FUN!!!

For a family inherited business, it seemed that the owner doesn't understand customer service. Be prepared to be hounded to tip the pin setter $5 a person in addition to all other charges.

It is such a beautiful place with a very interesting history. This is a must do when visiting Milwaukee. Stop in and get a tour of the oldest bowling alley. Try an old fashioned while you are at it too.

One of the most unique places you will ever see. Bar and bowling alley from the old school days. Some of the people that have been there include Joe Walsh, Jack White, and countless others.

Bowling lanes installed in 1908 but the wood is stamped 1904 when it was purchased. It was warehoused until it could be installed. The lanes get recertified every year. A selection of local bottled beer at the cash only bar. Super friendly owner operator staff. There was a family playing and a group waiting when I visited. Normally closed on Sundays but since there is a bowling tournament on the North side they were open so some folks could play on the historic lanes.

Love this bar! I really miss Marcy, but her family does a great job. One of Milwaukee's classics.

We had a blast .. found Holler House through Google search of oldest bars in Milwaukee. The owners Tom and Cathy are amazing and the locals made us feel at home! We have so many pictures and so much fun! Be sure to do a shotski! These Texans had a blast!

Is this place real life - what a bar!!! If you don’t stop by this place for a drink while in Milwaukee you’re out of your mind!

Was a great experience! Took our grandkids for a back to school outing and they loved it. 2 lanes in the basement. They have shoes and balls. All old and well used but we were there for the adventure more than the game. The Owner was our pinsetter because the one scheduled didn’t show up. That meant a lot to all of us

A step back in time in Milwaukee. Great service, tasty Old Fashions, and wide beer variety make it extra special cheers time! Truly a Milwaukee tavern treasure
