Shamrock Bowl and Restobar

It was 5 out of 5. The staff was so friendly and we had a great time. The price is also reasonable and they have old time bowling that is unique. There were no technical boards to show scores. You have to calculate it but it is easy though and we had a great time playing like that. It's a must try!

Booked 3 lanes for my birthday, but caught covid and certainly don't want to spread it around. Called to reschedule the day for a couple weeks from now and was refused.
And no, my friends don't want to play during the booked time without me - that's an insane suggestions.
So now I'm out $170
Was so excited to check this place out, but clearly they don't want my patronage.

Truly baffled by the extremely short sighted nature of this choice.

We reserved a lane in February and had to cancel. We called and were told “no problem, we will give you a credit. It will be in our system for when you come”. We tried to go today and they claimed they have no record of any credit and it should have been emailed to us and wanted us to pay twice. It was terrible customer service to be blamed for their staff’s error. We were there with our two young children and it was one of the worst displays of customer service that I’ve seen. Much prefer the bowling alley on the danforth.

Went there and they ask us to wait an hour, we tried to pay for our turn and they said no, after the hour they booked someone else and that said it was our fault because we didn’t pay (? A waste of money and time

Avoid this place! Terrible customer service, will not call or email you back and will take your things and not inform you.

I booked 5 lanes here for a Saturday night and tried to ask about bringing a cake. I called multiple times leading up to the event and no one called us back.

They wouldn’t give us shoes until immediately before the bowling time and demanded we give our shoes in. They took my shoes from my table and didn’t let us know.

The manager was so incredibly rude. Upon arrival she was having a fight downstairs with someone and then when I asked for anything she would dismiss me, not talk to us and walk away.

Save yourself time, money and the energy and avoid this place.

Bowling is fun, but there was no air conditioning and it felt like 28 degrees in April. Bartender kept disappearing and the other staff that worked there would have to go find him if we wanted anything.

Fantastic, clean, well-run space. Delicious food and we had a blast. Great drinks and the staff were kind and friendly. Highly recommended.

Worst experience ever very rude staff and they didn’t show that its a traditional bowling on the website.

Traditional 5 pin bowling and great curated drinks. Great little slice of Canadian history try them out!

Shamrock Bowl is a hidden gem in Toronto with great staff and venue for any group event. We went for a small group event and it was great. Prices are higher than most bowling places but the location is still within reach of downtown and the facility is well maintained and very clean. Shoes were cleaned after every use and very organized. Everyone who was there had a lot of fun even if we only stayed for an hour. Drinks are a bit pricey but it's not too bad if you are not planning to stay long.

Such a great bar with an amazing atmosphere and the most kind staff. 100% would recommend.

Do you like bowling! Me too!

We had to receive a brief introduction on how to keep score but it was super easy.

It's just so cute. I will go again.

The best place to spend some family time and the staff is so amazing n cheerful money well spend?

This place is amazing. Well organised, amazing staff, great food. Everything about this place screams fun.

Honestly this place could be so fun and the venue is great for a group, however Axel is terrible to deal with. The story I have is long winded but he doesn’t care about customers. He is immediately defensive and doesn’t admit when he’s in the wrong (which we were able to prove with an email thread). Kids are not very welcome, they went up to ask for change to use the arcade machine and Axel put his hand in their faces and told them he was ‘teaching them a lesson’. We will never return to Shamrock Bowl.

We really really wanted to love this place. We had heard good things and walked in for our son's birthday and, on first glance, thought the place was awesome. Staff were friendly but the owner was incredibly aggressive. He chewed out one of our guests (an 8 year old who had never bowled) for not rolling the ball properly. He accused my husband and I of not supervising at all and chewed me out for taking him to task for making a child at our party cry. His behaviour in front of our guests (and my son) was offensive, lacked professionalism and was disgraceful customer service. I love to support local, but this is not a business that values building community. A huge fail for Shamrock Bowl.

Came here with family the other day to give this place a try. We had an absolutely fabulous time! Very kind and welcoming staff, clean, comfortable seating and bowling space. We hadn't bowled 5-pin in decades, and it was very entertaining to play and remember how to score with pencil and pad (not automatic). You do need to be on time, lane reservations are set, and a bell is rung to signal the end of the period. Fantastic family fun!

Located right on the corner of Cowell Gerrard upstairs from the Goodlife Fitness. The Shamrock has none of the old grimey feel of typical bowling allies. It is bright and stylish. If you haven't eaten, the restobar is sure to have some for you to nosh and a fine assortment of alcoholic beverages l. If an hour of bowling seems much for you, there is also foosball, billiards, pinball, and even a stand-up Pacman console to play. Family fun for the young and old! Great for first dates too!

Very old school bowling place, great for small parties. Lanes are rented out by the hour, and shoes are not included in the booking price.

I called 4 days ahead of my reservation to reschedule due to a personal matter. That should be more than enough notice and I was told bowling reservations cannot be rescheduled or cancelled within 7 days? What an absolute joke, will NEVER book here again.

We had so much fun doing five pin bowling here! Great vibe good tunes. The only thing I disliked was the paper pencil scoring.
