"My friends and I have been coming here for years"
"LaVérendrye was pretty cool, although it has a very casual feel"
"Usually go a couple times a month"
"This place is so clean and the staff are awsome"
"Had a school book lanes but never informed them that they still require vaccination cards ( considering no one else does anymore, guess can't get with the current times)"
My friends and I have been coming here for years. The odd time we'd go somewhere else is when this place was closed or was full on bookings. Recently, I decided to purchase my own bowling ball and I'm very glad that I didn't just choose the nicest looking ball online and called it quits. I went to see Mike - the store pro - and he set me up completely. He watched me bowl to check on my style, made a recommendation and gave me a great deal. At no point did he try to oversell me and even explained why he doesn't believe in selling overpriced products. The rest of the regular staff are amazing as well. Ed, Gill and others are always there for a good chat and bowling support. There is definitely a community feel in this place and I'm looking forward to signing up for league play again soon.
LaVérendrye was pretty cool, although it has a very casual feel. Like the kind of place you and your friends go to as teenagers, or a place where you take toddlers and their friends for somebody's birthday. They also serve food; pizza and pop which again is exactly the sort of fare you like when you're younger. If you're thinking of going there for a first date and you're in your mid-twenties, don't. Unless you really like bowling, and even then there are probably nicer bowling alleys in town. This is not to say it's bad, far from it. It just has a raucous vibe that may not gel with you unless you're part of the people causing the raucous.
Usually go a couple times a month. Went there last night after work to catch the end of the Jets game. It was league night. Atmosphere was electric as one could expect. Staff are ALWAYS exceptionally polite and, charmingly funny (except the red haired young man ewho is sarcastically hilarious) Went with a friend who proceeded to eat an entire pizza to himself so I can testify as an eye witness to how good the pizza is. Lol. Bathrooms are always clean (sadly can't say that about most of the other lanes I've been to). Beers always cold. What more could you ask for?
This place is so clean and the staff are awsome. .the lanes are very well taken care of the washrooms are spotless the only thing I don't like about this place is the food selection..they have fresh pizza and microwave eats..would like to see maybe fries and onion rings but this place is really worth a look. You won't be disappointed and no I don't work here..use to go to another lane on Nairn but a couple of my friends invited me here and I won't go anywhere else now..say his to Mike at the pro shop. Really knows his stuff
Had a school book lanes but never informed them that they still require vaccination cards ( considering no one else does anymore, guess can't get with the current times). So due to this multiple kids who paid for bowling were denied because they did not have their cards. Way to ruin a kids day because staff lacked communicating this extremely important information. Will definitely recommend any other bowling alley in the city other than these guys. Seems to be the only bowling alley still requiring this in the city
If you're looking for a uncrowded bowling alley, this place is for you. The alley, on most occasions, only have a few people there. The prices set for one round of bowling, renting bowling shoes, and renting the pool table are cheap and affordable. LaVérendrye Bowling Lanes also provides food and drinks. The food isn't the best quality, but it's set at a reasonable price for what you're receiving. Overall, this is a great place to enjoy a good time with your friends and family, for an affordable price.
We went on Jan 1, they had the competition going on that day and we need to wait for an hour to play, and the owner let us to use the pool service for free during the waiting time, what a nice guy!! And I like how they have the red pine at the front and always the challenge one, this is the only place I went for bowling every time in Winnipeg. Love it
I was extremely pleased to find a place where I could take my young family to bowl without breaking the bank. I've bowled 5-pin lots in my life, but this was my first time bowling 10-pin. The fellow behind the counter was friendly and very helpful. Great facility! Thank you, LaVérendrye Bowling Lanes! I look forward to coming again soon!
Google says it's open until 1am. 5 of us paid for a game. At midnight they just shut down our game with no notice. Why not tell us there was no time? What was the point of us even paying for a game? They took our money from 5 people and we never finished our game. What did we pay for? Could have at least warned us about the closing time.
We went there for bowling and pool today. The bowling lane was pretty nicely maintained and the price is also really good. The only and major thing that I didn’t likes was where the pool table was. The place to play pool was really small and it was really hard to play pool. So overall great place for bowling but not for pool
Used to love going to this place but service has gone down drastically. We made reservations a week before and showed up only to be rudely told that we didn’t have any. The first time it happened, it’s whatever but how can it happen again for a SECOND time?? Might as well not take any phone calls at this point.
Absolutely fantastic experience. Everyone working at this lane was super friendly and enthusiastic about bowling. I not only learned a lot about bowling but became much more interested in the activity due to the friendliness and forwardness of the staff. My friends and I will be coming back for more …
Nice place, good prices but the pizza is awful. Probably the worst pizza I've ever had. Canned mushrooms and pineapple.... there was a thick layer of cheese but had a weird unnatural texture. Tasted like canned veggie/fruit on cardboard topped with a thick layer of weird cheese.
Nice bright place, went there for a kid's birthday party. Clean and very auspicious setting. The only complaint is the smell of smoke in the stair well from people smoking by the emergency door, it stink up the place and damper the mood especially when kids are present.
Zero customer service… the women who was on shift right now had to say something so she shouted at us instead of coming to us and saying politely. we paid for the services taken that was really very disrespectful…I’m very disappointed..learn some manners lady.
There's a rotten tomato among the staff and it's spoiling everything else. Lanes are still excellent and prices are the same. Our group's bi-weekly games has been moved elsewhere. Sorry, but I think the people in charge better take formal complaints seriously.
Went in middle of the day and was helped promptly and professionally by the attendant. Great selection of balls, clean approaches and easy to use lanes. Might even come back tomorrow it was that great. One of the best bowling centres I’ve been in!
Awesome place to bowl. My friend and I made some friends at the pool table the staff offered to us for free while we waited for our lane. In my opinion the staff went above and beyond to provide exceptional service that is both memorable and fun
Great time for 6 of us 3 adults and 3 youth. You can play by rounds or time. We have not played for a while but had lots of fun. It's bowling, lots of hand eye coordination and memory. P.S You should not try it, you may have FUN !
They are great and you can pay per game or by the hour. And they have leagues going all year. . Only thing I complain about is there seats are to close to the table's so if you are a large person you would have to sit at a table.
I loved going here, both staff (Evan and Tyler) were super kind and helpful. I was offered the light ball without even asking which was awesome because I really needed it. Super well priced. Would definitely come back!
This is the only place that you will want to bowl at once you come here. Stu and Gil are the best, & Mike, the bowling legend in the pro shop, will make sure you've got the right gear and best fitted custom ball.
Great staff, all bowlers themselves and experienced. Real authentic ten pin bowling at very reasonable rates. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a low cost hobby for the upcoming frigid winter months ahead
Tried to book a game but whoever was on the phone was super rude. I wanted to ask about the prices, the man simply told me he was too busy and to call later then hung up on me. Really ruined my evening.
Under new management. It used to be my favourite place to bowl, we went frequently. The new manager displays discrimination. Even their signs displayed disrespect. I will take my business elsewhere.
Excellent value. Friendly staff who helped accommodate special needs and offered additional help where possible. Regular 10 pin and glow bowling in the same venue. Will return again for sure
We just had a birthday party here and it was excellent. The service was awesome and so accommodating. And the price was excellent! If you need a place for a kid’s party. This is the place!!
Terrible rude staff that laughed and had an "inside joke" about my daughter and I. The place was old and grungy and not worth the money. Also the balls are too heavy for young children.
It was a very different experience compared to the 5 pin bowling! 10 pin bowling is much more entertaining, and the balls are much bigger and easier to use! Would recommend to anyone!
This place is a gem for 10 pin bowling lovers Prices are the best in the city and always well maintained and clean. Friendly staff and licenced, we all love going there.
Staff is helpful they attract a lot of people and the pizza is good. Good place to bring a group make sure you fold a head cuz there was a league in front of us
This is a really clean, well run facility. The staff are friendly and attentive. There are 14 lanes of 10 pin bowling. All lakes have fully automated scoring.
They run a pretty smooth joint. And it was fairly busy when I went on Friday evening which was nice actually. It had some atmosphere. Yall should header down
Canada drops its travel restrictions, and in the same week LaVérendrye turns away a bunch of school children from bowling because they're not vaccinated.
Great place to hang, celebrate bday party and enjoy life...STAFF ARE ALWAYS AWESOME. WE highly recommend this place..it has always been a family place.
Do not have your children's birthday party here. Terrible service and uncopperative staff. Unfortunately I will not be back because of this experience.
Call this business and find out for yourself that they discriminate based on personal individual health choices. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.
My preferred bowling lane. Perfect 10 pin experience, shoes actually fit and it's not too loud. Gonna keep coming back as long as I like to bowl.
amazing place for playing friendly staff u want to have great time there playing bowling with friends thats best choice the price is good too
Went recently, staff were very nice, prices were really affordable, only small complaint would be the quality of food for how much it costs
It's a fun time but definitely not the nicest place to bowl in Winnipeg. Not much choice for food. Building needs to be renovated big time.
Good prices and friendly staff. Good place for cheap family activity during the day and evening, drinks and glow-bowl on weekend nights.
Clean, well maintained lanes and friendly team. Very well priced at $22 for a full hour which we squeezed almost 4 full games into.
Lane stopped working, every throw counted as a strike and no proper score. Each person got a free round to make up which was nice
Love it here! Always pretty packed, so make your reservations. Cheap drinks, cheap bowling, and shoe rental. Staff is friendly.
It's a nice place to have fun with friends, family. Want a bowling night, stress free??? This might be the right place for you.
16 lanes. 10 pin bowling. Prices are the best in the city. Friendly staff who took the time to give us pointers. Will be back.
Nice chill alley and the bartender was very nice. Even gave me a bowling tip that brought my score from 80-100 to 130-160.
Nice place for bowling. The only reason i gave four starsis because of lack of light balls. Most of the balls are heavy.
It's a bowling alley, so no white-gloved concierge, but the staff are friendly, and the lanes are impeccably clean.
Very accommodating. Staff is always great. Had my birthday there and all of my friends said they'd come back.
A cool place! Everyone at the bowling alley was nice and helpful! Definitely has an older style theme to it.
Loved the atmosphere. The lanes were clean and the staff were friendly. Prices were great. Would recommend
Don’t play anything here because they are not respecting people and they are very rude to their customers
Best bowling lanes in Winnipeg. Awesome staff, fair prices, quality rental shoes and house bowling balls.
We always go there for bowling. They have great services and prices are fair. Me and my always go there.
The lanes are clean and the owners are nice. They also have the best prices for a 10-pin bowling alley!
Definitely is aging and looks the same as it did when I was a kid. Everything still works fine though.
Had lot of fun playing bowling there. Please is best and cheaper compared to other places in Winnipeg
Great lanes. Clean shoes. Good games and drink prices. Can't beat a few games of 10 Pin with friends!
Was pretty good. Staff are very nice. Weird that they closed half an hour before their Google time.
Underground, good lanes. Good service. Only problem is that you don't get phone signal at the place
Nice place hang out with buddies 50games for 105 dollars are good deal for who wants play more.
Affordable best prices for bowling with kids for sure!! Had a great experience at a kids party.
As a league bowler, its a wonderful place to bowl at, the staff is super friendly and helpful!
Worst place for bowling. Their systems are old and not working properly. Balls are too heavy.
Clean alley and friendly staff. Call ahead for open bowling times as there are many leagues.
Great 10 pin experience, chance to win a free round, drinks are reasonable. Go check it out
Clean and friendly environment! Always a pleasure bowling here, love the claw machine too!
Great place to get together with friends or for a party! Kids always have a great time.
Friendly staff, typical bowling alley. Smaller than other alleys but it's just as good.
Had a great time and price was reasonable I recommend it take the family and have fun
great 10 pin bowling experience! drinks were cheap and the staff were super friendly
So much fun! Very clean, excellent staff and very affodable. Strongly recommend.
Held a private new year's party here. The staff is great and very accommodating.
For big groups Offers neon bowling 10-pin balls of different weights and colours
Awesome place to go bowling and play some pool. The prices are really good too.
We saw the lady that was there on counter today was rude to some customers
Nice place to have fun. I don't miss this place every Saturday morning.
Inexpensive games ($4), 10 pin bowling, great hang for a group outing
Excellent lanes. Staff are on top of things. Our new place to bowl
League Bowling is a great time here. 10 pin. Go chuck some balls!
Good bowling for league. Hard to bowl outside league hours though
They take such good care of the lanes and have friendly service!
Clean, well maintained, friendly staff and reasonably priced.
Best prices in the city for a quality night out bowling.
