Lakes Lanes is a true old-school bowling alley — nothing fancy, just great vibes, great people, and the sound of pins crashing. The staff are top-notch: friendly, quick to help, and they make everyone feel like a regular. The league bowlers are serious competitors but super welcoming — competitive without being intimidating. The place has that nostalgic, classic feel — wood lanes, neon signs, bar food that actually hits the spot, and a laid-back crowd that loves to bowl. It’s clean where it counts, the lanes are well maintained, and the prices are fair. If you’re looking for a flashy modern bowling lounge, this isn’t it — but if you love genuine atmosphere, friendly folks, and real bowling culture, Lakes Lanes in The Colony is the place.

Get directions →If you’re a fan of The Big Lebowski then this is your place. The vibe is definitely old school and vintage compared to your upscale bowling locations. If you want a place for casual bowling, drinks, and time with friends on the affordable side, then this is the place. The staff were nice and helpful overall. I could see myself coming back here with the boys. My only negative feedback is about the smoking and lanes breaking down. I won’t belabor much in that since other folks have pointed this out. It would be nice if there was more notification on the website or door that there is smoking indoors for folks with respiratory issues. I’m only saying this because my spouse has asthma and I could see that being an issue. The lane we were in broke down several times but the staff were quick to fix it, and eventually moved us to a different lane and gave us extra time without us even asking! Personally, I like the vibe of the place and was not bothered by the smoking. The lane issue was annoying but I think it was handled the best way possible.

Time machines must be real because this felt like we were in 1999, in a good way. The machines are super old and retro, but work perfectly fine and fast. I liked the old graphics on the screen when scoring. The place does smell like smoke with smoking allowed inside, but not too bad on the lanes. The beer was a little on the flatter side, but the nachos were good. Definitely will go back. My biggest critique is I wish they would have dimmed some of the lights, it was super bright in there!

Great service. Great bar. Great alley. Been coming here since before I was born. I would recommend to anyone. Now, smoking is allowed. So don’t leave some crazy ass review bc you can’t handle some smoke. Great pool tables too. Thank you Amy and Zain for always taking care of me. X262839373)

I meant to leave a review a while ago, but my husband and I come here as much as possible all the way from Prosper. Everyone is amazing here. Chris is by far one of the best people here. If you’re wanting to go somewhere with good food, good environment, and good times- Come to Lakes Lanes!! Always looking forward to coming here!
