Hey peeps from Chicago, I may be coming to Chicago for a 6 month project, was wondering which bowling alley do you go to?? I saw a Lucky Strike but they are genearally expsenive.

ok thanks, I'll check them out when I come at the end of this month

Hey Sep, if you check out Niles, stop into the pro shop, I work with Rich Blake, who owns the shop, and we do good work

Also, Niles is generally a well-run alley, there's almost always open lanes unless it's a league night or after 10pm, and the prices are moderately reasonable, for being a Brunswick Zone...

Ya Niles might not work out for me, its like 25 mins drive but the problem is I don't have a car considering that I dont' live here lol.

oh wellz.

If you're going to be downtown, there really aren't any bowling alleys close by.  All the downtown places have been converted to yuppy bowling where they charge you $25/hour for lanes with no oil.  

The couple that are reasonably close to downtown are Waveland bowl, roughly Addison and Western, and Diversy River Bowl, Diversy and Western.  Both places have pro shops.  Diversy River's is pretty good (can't speak for Waveland).  Diandra Asbaty calls DR home and gives lessons there.
