With a great group of friends, there’s nothing better than a night out bowling. You can enjoy drinks, food, and laughs while getting a little competitive and showing off your skills in the lane. Here are our picks for the best bowling alleys in Houston, TX.

1. Del Mar Lanes

Del Mar offers excellent entertainment for friends and family with all the latest tech you could want in a bowling hotspot. Plus-sized screens and TVs fill the bar and alleys, a state-of-the-art stereo system pumps out great tunes, and everything is lit with special effects lighting. What’s more, you can try out the interactive “Unreal Bowling Experience” with motion sensors, an infrared camera, and a projector system giving you an incredible bowling experience.

The on-site bar & grill, The Brass Monkey, offers great entertainment too, with live music most weekends. It also offers excellent pizzas and has a wide selection of locally brewed beers. Make sure you drink responsibly, and never drink and drive.

2. Emerald Bowl

Emerald Bowl offers great service to everyone from world-renowned bowlers to absolute beginners. The lanes are well maintained and full of high-quality equipment. They’ve been doing this since the 70s so they must be getting something right. They are open all day every day and offer great prices for groups and parties.

3. Bowl & Barrel

Somewhere great to bowl and offering delicious giant pretzels: that’s why we love Bowl & Barrel. Everything on the menu is delicious, and it’s a great place to throw a party with dedicated event organizers to help you plan a knockout celebration. Bowl & Barel offers a boutique bowling experience with an elegant design and atmosphere. Their 15 lanes are full of modern features and incredibly comfortable.

4. Bowlero

With neon lights and colorful decor, Bowlero is one of the coolest points to go bowling in Texas. And if any of the gang gets to wandering there is also a deluxe arcade and a billiards hall to explore too. Check them out during a weekday as they offer tons of special offers to brighten up the middle of your week. You can grab a bite here, too, with delicious burgers and wings on offer.

5. Times Square Entertainment

Located just out west in Katy, TX, Times Square Entertainment offers a lot to keep your family and friends entertained: a sports grill, laser tag, arcade, pool, and, of course, bowling. With 36 bowling lanes, their complex can hold events for up to 1,000 people, so it’s a great place for a huge party. And if you’re a night owl they stay open until 1am with special offers on late night bowling.
