  • My fellow and I have been saying we'd go bowling only for like FOREVER (ok, just 6 months since that's how long we've been together) and finally got it together the other night to have a bowling date. We headed over to Mahall's and had a great time! The two guys at the counter were just the sweetest, welcoming guys- they were enough to make you want to make Mahall's your steady bowling spot. We were assigned a lane upstairs and went about finding the perfect ball for ourselves (sadly they were not organized in any kind of way which sucks for those of us who aren't weight lifting champs- if I could take off a quarter of a star for that I think I might consider it) in the area just to the side of the counter. They have a little polishing/ cleaning machine there in case you're fancy enough to have your own gear. One nice aspect of Mahall's is that you don't have to hand in your own shoes and therefore avoid any kind of socks on the floor/ awkward standing and switching of shoes in everyone's way. Weird people like me appreciate that. The place is low key and fun- I guess when teams are there competing in their bowling competitions it might feel a little different. We sat next to another couple who were equally unskilled and while they're not our new besties we did have a nice cheering section for stellar/ lucky maneuvers. There seemed to be a couple of lanes occupied by tragic hipsters, however; I did not feel overwhelmed by a sense of irony for irony's sake. Mostly it was folks out to have a good time. We were there on a Saturday night around 8:30pm and a few sets were made of late 20 somethings and early 30 somethings. Another couple of lanes had teens and older folks who may have been their parents. In another couple of lanes preteens seemed to be supervised by the parental units who took their turn with the youthful outing. I didn't visit the downstairs half of the twenty lanes, however; I believe the bar is located down there. I noticed a couple of pool tables behind the area where you pick up your shoes, get your lane assigned and pay for your game. No info to report on that- I'm not a billiard player. The music playing was pretty safe- stuff your parents won't complain about and the teens won't be too disgruntled about either. Some kind of basketballing event was happening on the tv. It wasn't blasting and the non-sporters won't be forced to deal with the loud game announcers that might be dominating other bowling spots. Some people have referred to this spot as vintage and maybe that is technically what it is, however; I'd say that makes it sound like effort was put into making it that sort of place. I'd rather call it something that has maintained the same sort of low key atmosphere for a number of years. There isn't anything pretentious about the place and I really appreciate that. It's sincere in its style and not some place that tries hard to be anything different. That's refreshing to me.
