Playhouse Lanes - Drexel Hill

Playhouse Lanes is a quaint little bowling alley in Drexel Hill. It has a more old school style as in there is no giant arcade or large food menu. The main focus here is the bowling alley. They have a nice variety of balls for everyone and even have 6lb balls for children upon request. The only problem I had with the bowling is that the bumpers only have a yes or no option, meaning we had to have them on for everyone because our child needed them and they couldn’t turn them off for individual people. They have a “No outside food or drink” policy, but if you are hungry there’s a pizza shop across the street and if you order the food it will be delivered to the bowling alley for you. There is a small bar in the back area for drinks as well as a few vending machines. The reason I gave them 3 stars is because of the bumpers and because they did not have air conditioning so we got really hot especially with moving around while bowling. They have an industrial fan but it’s not doing enough. I wouldn’t have a problem returning in the fall/spring when it isn’t as hot outside for a nice family outing.

The lanes were very dirty and took a chunk out of my brand new ball. Hopefully, they remedy this.However, they have instant replay, and I enjoyed that very much. I also liked the Ami-Jukebox app. I was able to play music I wanted to hear, and that was nice.

I must say it’s the same as it was 25 years ago employees were really really nice but the place the bathrooms were dirty there’s no heat and we were there yesterday it was freezing in there we had to keep our coats on to bowl and we had a little party going on when we went back into the room to have our pizza and cake and everything it was freezing we’re sitting here with coats on we asked about the heat a few times never got any heat and this was one and two in the afternoon again like I said the bathrooms for very dirty

Fun time and nice staff but bathroom and lanes were a bit outdated
