Metro Bowl is a charming, old school retro bowling alley and gathering place in Crystal Lake. It offers a homely atmosphere with a well-maintained set of lanes, old school billiards, and a classic, retro aesthetic. The vibe is enhanced by classic rock music. The proprietor and staff are friendly, funny, and accommodating. Be aware that hours are limited and leagues often take priority, so calling ahead for bowling is advised. The small size adds to its charm. It is a cash-only establishment. Customers love its time machine feel and keep coming back for spontaneous fun, league play, or just a few drinks.
Great place to relax and enjoy a beer the bartenders are very easy to talk to
