Meet us where nostalgia bowls a perfect strike
We can get behind the motto at Hillside Bowl, which is: eat, drink, bowl, win! While it's still a nostalgic, no-frills bowling alley, this playground for adults has had a recent makeover.
The bowling center now has new easy-to-use and state-of-the-art scoring systems, 36 Brunswick Pro Anvil Lanes with automatic bumpers for kids (and some adults, too, no judgment from us!), and a new lounge complete with a DJ booth, billiards tables, and party room.
The lounge includes slot machines and a full-service menu and bar, including giant burgers and drink specials.
Pro Tip: Kids are more than welcome during the daylight hours at Hillside Bowl, but it’s adults-only after 11pm.
Hillside Bowl is open Sunday through Thursday from 9am to midnight and Friday and Saturday from 9am to 1am.
Prices range depending on day and time. Generally, a single game starts at $4.50 per person.
Conveniently located minutes from the 290/294 junction, Hillside Bowl is just 15 miles west of downtown Chicago at 4545 Harrison Street in Hillside.
