Had a blast at North Hill Lanes- good old fashioned fun!
Aweful! Went and paid to have a seeet 16 birthday party and paid for the pizza and the room and was hoping to have a glow bowling party; well no one made us aware that the pizza was no longer and option and that they had a travel league and we could NOT have the glow bowling! Not only that once they had a song on all the party decided to sing they cut it off halfway thru the song to shut us up! Terrible! Never AGAin beware of this place waste of $$$$
Was here for mother son bowling for school.... very organized. Probably would host a party here.
Super clean and cared for bowling alley. Lanes are in great condition, owners are the nicest guys, and I was very impressed by the policies theyve put into place for COVID including disinfecting each ball before placing it back on the rack, thoroughly cleaning each line after every use, at least 1-2 empty lanes between parties, and a foot opener added to each door so that you can open it without using your hands.
It was cute and fun and clean. You have to order or bring your own food. You cant bring drinks. However, bar is open with vending machine. Drinks and food are cut off at 10 pm
Bowling alleys kinda gross me out as they just seem to be grimey. This place wasnt bad though! We came in with a very large group and had an awesome time! The man working the shoe distribution was extremely helpful and patient considering I had to switch out my shoes 3 times (I was unaware of how large they were!).
They were open on new year Eve when most of bowling alley were not. They separated families nicely. Very safe and alot of fun. Just follow the directions you are given. Thanks
Our group had a wonderful experience at this bowling alley. They were welcoming and accommodating to our group of 17. The owners cut the cake we brought in, took pictures of our group, checked in with us throughout the night, and were just generally friendly and amazing people. I would recommend this bowling alley to anyone! I will definitely go back!
Really nice place. Nice lanes. Good electronic score boards. I was beer runner for our group. Only downside: running tabs not allowed. Either bring plenty of cash, or charge multiple times (or just eat/drink less). Either way, fun times!
Clean family friendly - usually have deals on days when school is not in session. All food is catered in so you can order pizza but its a bit slow so planning g ahead for timing is important. Glow bowl & bumper bowling available
Nice place and Nice staffs. Thank you for your services.
It is an okay place, although usually empty. It is in desperate need of an upgrade, but it works for your basic bowling. The manager is very nice and very helpful. He will work with your needs and wants to make the price fit your budget and event. They are very flexible and laid back. Its definitely not a hotspot, but a nice quiet place for a family event
Very nice inside. Clean. Friendly service.
We, a few friends and I, came in to bowl and have a round of beers. The people who were working behind the counter were on point. They brought the beers to the table, and we ended up ordering some pizza from HH. They were obviously busy, but took solid care of us. TVs were nice too. Something happened where we were short a frame (reset the lane or something) and guy at the counter gave frames to finish. nice setup.
We had a great experience with this bowling alley for an 8 yr olds birthday party. Staff was helpful and friendly, the party was easy and fun. Great value, the kids had a blast and it was easy for the parents.
The staff was nice, we asked for an alley by itself because we needed to practice and they gave it to us. 10 minutes after we were there they parked a group of 4-6 adults and around 8 ill mannered kids next to us. Every time one of them went to bowl, all the kids gathered up on the Alley, jumping around, yelling and acting obnoxious. Im not a prude and I dont dislike kids, and I know how kids will be kids...but...its just rude. One of the kids went as far as walking down the gutters. An employee came out to say something to him, so they were obviously watching, but they continued to let them jump all over the alley while people were bowling. Its was so irritating. What made it worse is that the adults with them just let them do it.On top of all of that the lanes were just okay. I probably wouldnt ever go back there and my husband for sure will never go back.
Old and out dated from the outside, but nice/clean family fun on the inside.Attended a kids birthday party and was surprised how family friendly the bowling ally was. Lights and popular music playing.Bumper bowling and the ramps for small children. Kids-adult shoes. Plenty of seating.No changing table in the womens restroom (at least not the one in the back, not sure about the front).
Had a great time here and would definitely go back
We stopped by here for the 2nd time for kids to bowl. It is in a very convenient location for us. The staff was super friendly and guided us well with kids who actually had wanted to play. The ambience was good too.
Sad to say weve moved on to another bowling alley in the area. Im willing to drive further away to receive more professional customer service. Almost everyone at the desk always seemed rude or had a short fuse. Bathrooms are outdated and dirty, the cafe doesnt offer many options, and for heavens sake why dont you accept credit cards? Were going on 2017!! Step it up, guys if you value your business!
Pay $25 for an hour of open bowling. They will put you on a lane right next to a party with 9 kids who have no concept of bowling ettiquette. Then, best for last, when your time is up its up, they dont even let you finish your game. Bathrooms have 2 toilets in aboutbeing15 square feet, and no paper towel. This is the single worst bowling alley I have ever been to. I will never bowl here again.
Great place to bowl. New carpeting, new atmosphere and theyre always very accommodating for us. Id definitely recommend taking family and friends there, in fact, I have, for years!
Nice facility with good personnel. Drinks but no food. Good space for parties! Older mechanisms wont bother casual bowler.
My great nephew scored a 300 having his 4th bday party here. The adults all commented on how well run, clean, friendly and overall supportive the facility and staff were. There was not one GUTTER BALL !! The party was a real TURKEY!!
Ive been coming here for 30+ years and its basically the same, which is comforting, yet ready for a refresh. Friendly staff, good prices on beer pitchers.
I went here for an event and while the lanes are tired the place is clean and the staff was friendly. You can have a bowling party here and have your food delivered from the outside. I really like that.
They are awesome here...they allow our Special Olympics team from Pontiac to bowl and have fundraiser. Its always a pleasure to bring the young people here to safe and friendly environment. Thank you
Stopped by for my sons friends birthday party... looks clean and well maintained. Very low key exterior though... I missed it at first and had to turn around.
A nice league friendly bowling alley. Clean and well maintained. You can’t beat the bar prices either!
If I could give zero stars I would they robbed us of our money it was $28 we gave him $40 and realized we didnt get our money back when we confronted them about it; they swore at us and told us we were liers .I asked them to review cameras they dont have any what establishment doesnt have cameras above their registers?? Now I know why they only except cash and check because they rob people for a living.
Very friendly and fun!
North Hill Lanes has been a fixture in Rochester Hills my entire life! Family owned and operated, North Hill Lanes is a great place to take the family on cold winter days when it is too awful to want to be outside! The automatic scoring makes life a lot easier, so all you have to do is concentrate on knocking down the pins!
Nice to have a clean, family friendly bowling alley in the neighborhood. A big plus for me is that they have a few pinball machines.
Won first try at claw game. 🐢
Its a awesome place for fun and family friendly atmosphere,... price per hour $25 and shoes not included but you can bring your own shoes saves $3
Friendly staff, clean venue, lots of lanes, I cant take away stars just because I am bad at bowling xD Thanks for the fun!
Nice lanes for bowling. No food options at the location though. they make you order from nearby pizza place if food is needed.
I liked the nice area for bowling, it just they never turn on the cool lights and stuff when I go, sometimes its kinda dull and they guy at the front counter it kinda weird
No credit cards accepted. Its 2017... having the transaction fee placed on customers with an indoor atm machine, its unbelievable. Ill never come again.
Pizza was good. Lanes and machines are little older but when you are with a group all that matters is you had fun.
This is a terrible place avoid at all costs.
Very clean . Owner is awesome
Enjoyed the games here.
Just not it expensive compared to other place that have a lot better quality
They have done some updates and it looks great. Staff is always so polite and easy to deal with.
Lots of fun and a very nice staff. They had a great fundraiser night and wow was that fun!
A great place to get an authentic bowling experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful!
Attended a 3 year olds birthday party. Three children and adults had a great time.

Nice lanes. Well ran and clean. Staff was attentive and helpful. Will be back
Its a bowling alley and they have a bar but they dont make food, they do however allow you to have food delivered there.
Lanes dated but service is excellent. Ask about renting lanes by the hour and being able to bring dinner in.
Friendly staff, very clean and so much fun :)
Thanks for another awesome bday party!!! Its our 3rd here, you guys are awesome. Thanks for being so helpful Brian!
So much fun. Great place for a family bowl.
Great bowling alley! It always is not crowded and nice staff.
Great staff! Great place for parties, with bowling, pizza, music and sports.
Nice place, take cash they dont accept credit cards ! And you need to bring food!
Cheap bowling, and $9 pitchers. The only problem is, they dont take credit card in 2017.
Family friendly. You can even bring your own food!
Nice place, hosted a work party, had custom games on the lanes

Its very old and outdated. Wouldnt recommend it for younger people but older people might enjoy it.
Nice bowling alley with bumper bowling available for young kids.
They are partnered with Hungry Howies. Able to order and they bring it right to your lane

Best bowling & crane games around. Only downside is it is cash only.

Showed up to a private party taking the entire alley. Wish they told me when I called 😐
Excellent place for time pass.
Over priced for what it is. Prefer to bowl at imperial or Rose bowl lanes.

2021-01-29We Love this bowling alley! It is always clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. They have taking every COVID precaution to make our family night out as safe as possible. Also, they serve the disabled community with fun events and accommodating a special needs bowling league on Saturdays. Thanks Avon Lanes!!!!

2022-02-27The bowling alley was okay, the people were very friendly. If a bar is a must for you as a bowler, this one has almost nothing, but the great shock was that they had Macallan 12! The worst shock was the poor was less than a fingers width. I seriously thought he was kidding, but when I told him that it was my birthday, he gave me another half finger on the house, which, regardless of the questionable poor, was a very nice thing to do.So, if you are thinking of starting a league, check first.

2022-02-13Wouldnt recommend this place to anyone! It is terrible! We booked 2 hours in a lane 3 days in advance and they shut our lane off and kicked us out after 1 hour because they had A list of people waiting. Also everything is outdated, the TVs are older than the ones my grandma used to watch. And no billiards even though there is a billiards sign on the outside of the building.

2020-11-01I didnt actually go to Avon North Hill Lanes but it looks like a popular place and would like to try it out! I did go to the place across the parking lot that was selling 🎃 Everything was free!! So if you need a pumpkin or gourds or some straw, head over to the northwest corner of Tienkenen and Rochester road might be some pumpkins 🎃 and other things left!

2021-12-03It was really busy while we were there and I was still served pretty quickly. The TVs dont show more than 5 players at once, even if there is more than that many. If they reformatted that, itd be 5 stars.The local poster advertisements hanging from the ceiling were pretty entertaining.
