What is the best bowling alley in Fairfax County?


I have some premier clients coming in from out of town. One of them is big into bowling. What is the best place to take them?

The bowling alley in next to the Verizon Center is pretty good.

The one in centerville is pretty fancy, for a bowling alley.

I went to the Bowl America on Edsall Rd last week. I was horrified. It's stuck in 1980. Water stained ceiling, the equipment doesn't work, ancient scoring system. They're not making any money, so I guess they can't upgrade. Avoid.

I know, man! Isn't it fantastic?!?!? It's just so organic, artisanal and real in there! I fucking love that place! My only complaint is that they don't sell this awesome frackle-berry nut crunch IPA from this brewery only I know about...

Another vote for the bowlero (Aka AMF) in Centreville.

Looks very nice inside, just make reservations as it does get busy.


x2 also on Edsall Road Bowl America to be shitty now- it was nice back in its heyday- but since the owners failed to get with the times and renovate like AMF centrevile did, no one will go much anymore.

It may be a few bucks cheaper- but you literally get what you pay for.

I don't know about you- but I would rather pay a bit more to play on clean, pristine, smooth lanes with a good ball selection for my guests (I have my own balls and shoes as a person who bowls weekly so don't need to rent) decent food nd drink selection, and CLEAN BATHROOMS.

Went to the Edsall Road Bowl America and noticed my beer glass was cloudy, like they just rinsed it and threw it back on the rack, there were lipstick prints on it too and the old hag at the concession stand refused to give me either a refund or a freshly washed glass, acting like i was trying to scam for free beer when i returned the glass to her with no beer missing out of it, i literally bought it, took 5 steps away and noticed the dirt on it, turned around she was with another customer but i was next and she insisted I was trying to run a scam on her when it was clear there was shit on the glass. I no longer patronize their business for that reason.

If they can't serve beer right have decent customer service, or even keep the bathrooms clean they have lost my business.

How are the prices at centerville now?
It was pretty pricy for daytime bowling under the old management

Do you sell latrine cakes ??? What type of hillbilly client is "premier?" Premier as in " porta john king?"

Goto the bowling alley off st Barnabas road in Marlowe heights!

There was a Bowl America down the street ... I think it's called Bowl Mexico now

For premier, high class clients, Annandale Lanes is the cat's ass. No better place to take those with finer tastes.

Bowling is for peasants, try polo.

Bowling Alley near the Circle..Grab a Ice Cold One..A Great Turkey & Bacon Club Sandwich and Bowl Away ..! Big Place..Oldie and Goodie..!

Need a BIG Newer Joint..In Fredericksburg on Rt 3 ..3 miles on the left from the I95 exit..Limo Ride will be Spare Change top ya..LOL!

DAJAX Bowl All night At Fairfax..Uh..Uh..I Forget..the days..12 bucks maybe..LOL!

Call Um..! Roll a 300 ..! Good Luck Pal..!

Gotta Go To Sleep Now..Or the Young Folk Will Be Saying..Go To Bed Old Man!

Annandale Lanes is still going strong. Place was scheduled to be demolished last year.

Uptown Alley in Mannassas mall is a nice center.

AFM Dale City has been fully renovated as well

That one over by Fairfax Circle is good. The one close to the Arthur Treacher's. You can even bring in the hush puppies and cole slaw and your Fanta. They don't mind.

Interesting. Wonder what happened to the high rise they were going to build there. In the meantime you can bowl a few games and then go next door for some fine Korean BBQ or kimchi.

They'll never upgrade.

No. They took those out last week and installed Pong and Battlezone. They are supposed to be getting Star Castle next week which is the greatest video game that no one has heard about.

The owner of the property that AMF Annandale sits on, gave AMF a 1 year lease. So this is "spose 2b" their last year in business.

Furthermore, AMF/Bowlmor has been bought out by private equity firm Atairos, which is a company known for selling of an liquidating assets.

The best Bowling alleys I've found are the ones that offer delicious Arther Treachers fish and chips!

Hey What's up guys!

It doesn't matter where to play as long as there are acceptable conditions plus the equipment you use this is the key to a good game. I can say one thing that without it it will be very difficult to learn to play well. I for example started with balls in my opinion this is the most important detail in this kit. You need to pick up the ball for yourself and get used to playing only with it. This is the key to success I believe and another caveat you need to choose comfortable shoes. I think these two criteria according Latest comparison are enough for productive play:)

Lots of wetbacks at Burke location unless it’s daytime league bowling.
Might have changed but the last time I went it was a ms13 convention.
