Skidmore's Holiday Bowl

Ordered the Philly cheese steak fries.

Aka. Steak ums with onions and nacho cheese on fries.

13 bucks???

Awful just awful.

We came here for an event and there are tons of people here for the event. Office staff was spot on and addressed everybody's knees regarding food and drink. 90% of the staff were super cool. The other 10% we're just overwhelmed because there is so many people here, and that's understandable. The drinks and the food was spot on! We had an excellent time bowling in the establishment itself is clean and super cool! This is the second time that I've attended this event at this place, and they do not disappoint! If you're looking for a good time, just to get out and hit a bar, this is the place to go! If you're also looking to go, bowling, it was just fun with a very good vibe! I don't go bowling that often, but if I go again before next year, this is the place I want to go to! Check it out, and you won't be disappointed.

Been coming here almost every week for 5 years because it's close to work and used to be inexpensive. We have a whole crew that comes & spends a lot of $. I've been thinking my bills have been quite high, but last week I saw that they charged me $9 for the beers & shot I ordered for myself & friends at 4:23. When I asked about it, the manager/owner told me Happy Hour is from 4:30-7pm, and he hasn't changed his prices since January. $9 for ONE drink? Seriously? It's a bowling alley! Then I saw outside that the flashing electronic sign says Happy Hour is from 4-7. My friends & I won't be returning. What a scam! And $7 is a typical price, NOT a happy hour price! Bye! I can go ANYWHERE else for better food/drinks/service!

We really enjoyed hanging out in the restaurant and listening to The Disclaimers. It's a good place to drink, eat and listen to music. We had a burger and fries and it was delicious. The nachos and tacos were enjoyed by others at our table also. Someone else had the Hawaiian pizza but was not impressed by it. The salads looked really good also. Marcus was our server and did a great job waiting on us. They had good local beer on tap, a good selection of red wine and a full bar. Check it out; it's not just a bowling alley!

I had the pleasure of being invited for a charity event at Skidmore's, this was the first time I've gone despite driving by countless times.

First things first, the parking is tight and a bit chaotic on a Saturday night. Once inside, you realize that it is more than just a bowling alley but also has a full bar area that seems to attract a different crowd.

The cocktail menu was extensive along with wine and beer options. They also have a large food menu with many different options, we ordered the nachos sans meat and they were pretty good. Not the best I've had but not bad. The service was great, they regularly checked on us.

As mentioned in other reviews, you share a table with the lane next to you. Each lane gets a couch that faces a shared table which might not be ideal for everyone.

I had a great time bowling with my pals unfortunately that over showed by the doom of bad service. They say 7 people per lane the couch seats 5 small people with two people left to stand or sit on the floor. They have a large array of food but the only table is a small coffee table you have to share with the lane next you! The food was fine everything was overpriced for us being crammed together. For luxury prices you think everyone would have a place to sit. But it took about 30 minutes to get water! We could not find our waitress Sarah the whole time we were there for two hours and I saw her twice. Then we had to ask someone to track her down so we could leave! It took them 15 minutes to even find her. We still had great time despite the conditions but it did cause some tension.

Very poor service, we had my daughters party there on the 20th our server kept spilling drinks on our party decorations, and was very rude towards the end. Told us she lost out on an hour of tips because of us when she had already made 300 off of our party alone even after we tried to add on more time to our event they told us no and our server told us we had to leave in the middle of my daughter opening gifts. This place is beautiful but would be better with better service. Will not be back!!!

Holiday bowl is a bowling alley in Albuquerque. There are bars in the bowling alley to purchase drinks and food while you bowl. There's also an arcade area. My work had the staff party here and there was a nice sunny area ( window doors that can open up when it's nice weather outside) in front of the bowling alley for private events.

My office loves having our team bonding events at Holiday Bowl. We come every year, and we always have a great time. We get large orders of food for our party, though the only complaint is sometimes the sliders are way undercooked and inedible, so go for the chicken quesadillas instead. Staff were great, and everything runs smoothly without issue.

Good side: nice lanes, good bar, decent food

Down side:
1. Sitting area around lanes is cramped with no room for equipment and bowlers.
2. Price structure is out of control. Two friends and I went to bowl. We got two lanes for an hour. Holiday charged $10/lane/hour/bowler!! Total bill was $60 for ONE HOUR!

I bowled league at Holiday for many years. A remodel brought in new furniture around the lanes. It's almost unusable, everyone tripping on each other, stepping on each other. My team left for another house. I miss Holiday, but the combo of crappy furniture and ridiculous prices for open bowling keeps me away.
