Great set up, with lots of fun affordable gimmicks for kids. Hunters and Eastview both do a great job.

I do find the new computer scoring a bit of slow/distraction, but the little kids thought fun

Kids bowl free in summer is awesome

Breakfast and bowling great weekend gimmick

The food is actually really good! I prefer bowling ally food (here) to many local family restaurants

Fairhaven location is great! Laurel and the staff are great, it’s clean in their, it’s a smaller and more intimate ambiance, the colored lights where the pins are is dope, lounge has good vibes and staff, and just an overall great experience! I also love the lights on the outside of building, so rad! Color is life! I’ll have my lane 14 please! -James.

We had such a great time here. Clean, fun, affordable family activity. The man at the front desk (owner?) was so kind and friendly and accommodating. The music, disco lights and music videos added to a great vibe.

We went for food before we went bowling for kids bowl free we also got a family pass for the summer. The food was good kids meals are so big they would fill an adult and the servers were lovely very friendly ladies. Will definitely eat there again when we go back bowling this summer.

The bowling alley is nice and it has been a great thing that Reds restaurant is here as well. The food is really good bar food. Fries, dry ribs, pizza all very good. Had the BLT, perfectly done (I think it is the perfect sandwich) along with fries, can't be beat. Clean place, great staff.

9-110’ unlimited 10-pin glow bowling is such a great deal for a teenager’s birthday party! Everyone had a blast!

A beautiful bowling experience in Saskatoon. It is a must visit for kids and family. They have a very clean and neat atmosphere, enough lanes to accommodate a variety of crowd. Comfortable lounge chairs for each terminal to sit and enjoy the game. Open parking and a bar available.

This place was awesome, they turned off the black lights so my daughter could play as she has a black light sensitivity. The man was great.
I do not like purchasing socks, nor have I worn socks in years. Why can't I bowl with barefeet inside shoes, if the shoes are disinfected? But the bowling and service was extraordinary.
08 August 2022 14:44
I find it a bit challenging to aim properly because the alley is super dark with just the black lights on. Staff are always super friendly and it's always a good time no matter what!
31 July 2022 11:09
Always a fun experience, friendly staff, good prices, and even better food. Highly recommend for family events and overall amazing bowling experiences.

Went here for a stagette and got there around 11pm they don’t close until 1am so I expected the bar to be open for some time before last call. We played one game because it was a waste of time if they weren’t serving drinks. We went outside to wait for a cab, they came and locked the door around 11: 30 or 12: 00. The workers left before we did! They were more concerned with closing early than the concern for the customer satisfaction. I probably won’t be going back after this experience.
10 July 2022 22:28
Fun activity. Family friendly until night time then more adults are using lanes.
Bar has food and drinks and service is pretty good.
Food and drink on the pricey side for what you get.
Would recommend making a booking since it fills up fast.
18 June 2022 8:48
Kinda squished in with how close the lanes are but it was fun! Good music, the birthday party could of been somewhat courteous, the little girls were screaming way too loud and way too often and it clearly was overwhelming for us and others bowlers as well lol but all in all we had fun!
17 May 2022 7:33
We haven't been to Fairhaven bowling in years, but great experience! Very family friendly atmosphere and lots of excitement for kids. Recommend!

Took a large group of kids and adults here for a bday party on a busy Sunday. I can’t say enough about the friendly and enthusiastic fellow behind the counter. The wait staff in the alley and in the pub upstairs were awesome and the food was great. We will def repeat this venture. Good job guys.

I took my kids and my daycare kids bowling this morning and we had an amazing experience. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to make our experience great and even gave us some extra time as we were the only ones there. Plus they have their Easter specials on so that was a nice treat! Highly recommend them
29 April 2022 3:25
Went for a birthday bowling party. The lanes scheduled for us had a technical malfunction and we weren't able to do any bowling.
13 January 2022 2:26
Friendly staff. You saw them cleaning the kitchen washrooms periodically and the lanes after use. It was great fun too!
17 November 2021 11:13
It's was so awesome! My first bowling experience and it was great! The mood and music were right on point and they sold meals as well!
19 October 2021 4:42
Fun place to bowl. Glow bowling is a must. Bumpers for kids is always fun as well. 5 and 10 pin options.
18 October 2021 17:02
Great service by the people serving my booth and the bowling was alot of fun with my family. A bit pricy on the lanes 32$ just for me and my wife my son was free so that's alot to literally throw a ball down at some pins hahah
05 October 2021 13:26
Went we went there today and it was a total disappointment. The lane we were in wasn't working properly, it made us waste so much time of playing and we got changed to a different lane when we only had 20 minutes left of playing. It was really bad for the money we payed. But thanks for the staff that tried to help
23 September 2021 2:51
This business is so incredible. The staff are so kind and supportive. The kids I work with want to come here every week. The owner has taken time out of his busy day to chat with me. He is so supportive and caring. He loves it when kids come in and have fun.
16 September 2021 22:44
Lots of fun, very friendly staff. I'm a terrible bowler but had a blast!

P.s. The food was very good!
03 September 2021 21:42
Awesome place for a good game of bowling. Had fun with the bumpers on the side, not used to this for bowling, but it put a fun twist on the game. Good service. Clean and place. Fun family fun and good tunes
31 August 2021 2:04
Seems a lot newer than Eastview.

I guess they don’t have servers come around anymore though.
16 June 2021 17:54
Neon lights with music videos playing in the background while you bowl, this place reminds me of a typical 80s bowling alley so I highly recommend this place.
24 May 2021 23:45
I find it a bit challenging to aim properly because the alley is super dark with just the black lights on.
26 April 2021 18:36
The staff were courteous and very friendly. They were very helpful when I asked if I can change my shoes coz the one I got was a biggie.
Thanks HFB. We had a great time.
04 April 2021 19:50
Everyone is very nice and the service is great. Multiple employees were sanitizing, which was comforting.

We came to bowl at 8pm being told we had the lane booked until 11. Upon arrival we were told we could only bowl until 9pm because at 9 they were “at capacity”. During our hour we saw a lane with 5 people together, (even though me and my 4 roommates had to be separated) a lane that didn’t wear their mask at any point, (even though we were rudely told we had to wear a mask at all times) and servers with other lanes hugging and generally not respecting social distancing. At 9pm we realized the other lane that was booked to bowl were friends with the lanes already there and they were all hugging and socializing. Staff were atrocious. I did NOT appreciate the blatant special treatment these people received. I only wanted to bowl all night with my roommates. Horrible.
16 March 2021 20:41
Horrible conditions during the pandemic. They had five to a lane, which is illegal during the pandemic, and when I asked about it I was told it was “special circumstances”. I was also told that it I had to wear a mask unless drinking and eating, but the lanes around us rarely wore masks. On top of that, the server was rude, they double booked me so we couldn’t get bowling until 11 like was promised to me.

Don’t go here, go to east view instead.
02 March 2021 5:15
Very well kept establishment. As far as lanes go, the pins don't malfunction nearly as much (due to age of the machines) as other alleys in the city. And when they do, staff is swift to fix. Oil on lanes are nice to bowl on. Staff is very friendly. House balls are nice to use.
02 April 2020 14:25
Lane 14 and the first time visiting this location and I have already written this place off. I'll never come back. Even after the wonderful staff member came out and cleaned the lane, you know, by the foul line where you're supposed to slide, I was still unable to slide in that entire area. Thinking it might have been my shoes I tried to slide on the way back from the foul line and sliding was achievable. I bowled on a league for several years but have never encountered a lane as terrible as lane 14.
28 March 2020 14:18
It's one of the better place to bowl in town. But if you have thicker fingers, your options for 10 pin bowling are limited as I've only ever seen one ball there with the extra large holes and it's one of the heavier balls.
15 March 2020 4:12
Great atmosphere, downfall is that in family day they only had 1 person working outside of the front counter, so drinks and food service was lacking and slow.
17 February 2020 20:00
Meh, felt rushed out after we were done. Rows of tables in the bar and they were all reserved so we had nowhere to sit and finish the food we ordered. Wasn’t a very fun place. I won’t go back.
15 February 2020 16:39
Fun place with a great atmosphere. Was nice and clean and when we were there it was packed. They would of gotten five stars, but we found the service was slow. It was better for us to get drinks ourselves. And the lane we were on kept resetting a pin which was frustrating.

I do recommend the place as the service may be better on slower nights and I doubt the pin resetting was normal.
19 January 2020 20:22
This was a birthday party we were at. Lots of fun and laughter. Was somewhat expensive for the 2 of us (+/-$50) for 2 games and shoe rental. When bowling (5 pin) it seemed like the lanes had ruts in them, where the ball would be going in 1 direction and then get caught in a rut and go a different direction. My opinion is that the alleys need a good sanding and refinishing.
The food was good, nothing fancy, good sized portions, but waaaaay too much salt and pepper used. If you order, just request no salt no pepper and you will be good.

Good fun place. Really nice staff. The only issue we had which wanted me to give them a single star was they couldn't manage the people who were being rude. We were a group of family with kids with us and they first asked us to move from the tables when they were giving a lane to a couple of guys. There was a guy who was drunk and we didnt mind him bothering initially but then he started to use foul language in front of the ladies and kids. We tried ignoring him and he started getting more aggressive. We finally had to leave in between our booking because it was getting out of hand. The staff was helpful but they should have kicked him out a long time ago which would have diffused the situation. Probably one of our worse experience in Saskatoon and would for sure be careful next time when we book an alley.

Great place to go bowling, join a league or just have fun with the family! Both large and small ball bowling and great service while you have fun or sit in the lounge! Cant say how good the food is but portions are large and it does smell great!
31 October 2019 23:29
Go try the breakfast and bowling!
Breakfast 9.99. Kids 6.99 and you get 1 hour of bowling. We got through 2 games with 3 people! Fun Morning
16 July 2019 4:57
Very nice and cozy place. Nice music playing. Staff is very good, knowledgeable and helpful. Kids under 18 can play free all summer (registration required). The lockers are available for public use. Enough parking for public use.
05 March 2019 23:10
Went there for some team building and I have to say it was fun. The staff suggested some game ideas and we all enjoyed ourselves.
16 February 2019 22:32
Nice place to go bowling. It has both ten and five pin lanes. The staff seemed very friendly too. It was an all-round good time.
04 February 2019 4:54
Not specific about if you pay for amount of time or number of games. An hour in, we'd finished two games and were told that it was expected that two games would have taken two hours
10 January 2019 22:35
Its a good place to bowl, just dont leave nice shoes by the door as their is a thief, not the business fault but still be careful!
06 January 2019 19:06
They do a great job hosting birthdays for kids, and they take care of everything. Just bring the cake and they do the rest!
19 December 2018 6:05
Staff are amazing! Food is great! Brooklyn, Emily, Jan, Nick and the rest of the staff are all super friendly, helpful and a joy to deal with. I highly recommend for your birthday party needs as well as just every day fun! Oh and the food is amazingly good, not what you would expect at a bowling alley!
