Arctic Bowl - Fairbanks, Alaska

LUCAS REHDER

Lindo lugar!

Josh Mitchell

In the timeless embrace of Arctic Bowl, one may find themselves transported on a nostalgic odyssey, a journey back into the haze of youth. Dilapidated ceilings whisper tales of yesteryears, while the aroma of tyson chicken tenders weaves through the air. Amidst the thundering of pins and flickering arcade lights, one discovers a small-town charm that has stood resilient against the flowing tides of time. Whether in the company of old friends, the laughter of children, or the tender whispers of a first-date, Arctic Bowl stands as a bastion of quintessential Americana. Let not the naysayers dissuade! For within these timeless walls lies the very soul of The Golden Heart City!

They also have beer ?

I came to this place 2 days ago to apply for a job and to bowl. I got to meet the alley owner (Doreen Holan) who was very nice. She even let me use 2 lanes and bowl by league rules by switching back and forth between the 2 lanes after each frame for no extra charge. It was $13.00 for 3 games (not including shoe rental.) I thought that that was pretty cheap for Alaska. I am hoping to meet an employee named Norma Herrera-Holloway whom I messaged on Facebook Messenger.

The only cons that I have with this place are that it is a little run down, but many places seem to be like that in Alaska and it might be hard for amateurs, little kids, or people who just aren’t very good at bowling to bowl here as the lanes don’t have bumpers.

Since we're traveling, this was only our second time there. The desk was very nice and accommodating. It needs a little updating. But aside from that, we had a great time.

Arctic Bowl is a very old building, we paid $22 for a family of 4 that included the shoe rental for a full game. They offer military discount.

Over priced food and drinks. There chicken strips are Tyson brand. I tried ordering a Philly Cheese Steak and was told it's just ground up hambuger.

Update:
The prices are still high as you can get but now they offer moldy ceilings. How can they be in business with this? One more thing who the hell keeps Christmas decorations up in March? The staff here is lazy.

Very enjoyable evening, we stayed for 2 games on the bar side. Good food, good drinks, clean bathrooms, and fair prices.

The bowling alley is not what it used to be. The older lady that works there is beyond rude with zero customer service skills. They’ve changed the pricing for parties to by the hour and even if the balls get stuck and you have to run up to the front and then wait for the guy in the back to return your balls it counts against your hour. Our game stopped in the 8th frame but was not returning our balls almost every single time, so we asked to get moved lanes, well that lane was the same. When asking the lady if she can let us finish the last two frames since A)we didn’t have score totals and b) at least 20 minutes was waiting for ball return and we would’ve been done with our games she proceeded to argue about how there’s nothing she can do without charging more to finish. I’ll never return and highly don’t recommend especially since we weren’t compensated and the lady made it seem like it was impossible to let us finish the game however after proving my point we were able to finish them.
