I had to get the hostess to get the bartender to serve me. He charged me twice what the price was on the menu. At that point I was so frustrated with the service because I wanted to watch my friends skate outside, I just paid and didn't argue.

The hostess was exceptionally nice which is the only reason I didn't give this place a 1 star. I will not be going back here.

A place that charges $22 for fish tacos and $8 for a kid's pineapple juice should know how to properly filet fish so that I don't get stuck in the gums with a fish bone. Service was good but food was just meh. I expected better than average food for the prices listed, but was disappointed.

If you have the money, life style and love Vail this is the place. If you don't this is not for you. Everything is over priced (typical Vail), staff is eh, food was ok but not for me. Thanks though.

Pizza for kids top shelf. Mac & cheese also very impressive. The mahi need a little bit more flavor. The location is excellent and if you re lucky to get a reservation looks like fun bowling in the back of the restaurant

Can you use the words 'glamorous' and 'sexy' in the same sentence with 'bowling'? Because when I think of Bol, I want to!!! Very fun, out of the box way to do something that is totally ordinary!

Great location and fun environment. We tried the Poke plate, bbq chicken flatbread, and edimome. The flatbread was the favorite at our table but it was all very good. The cocktails were good and we had excellent service. I hope we plan ahead to bowl next time.

Did not expect this place to be so nice! It s nothing like you would expect to be since it s also a bowling alley. We didn t bowl but we ate a lot of food. They have a large selection of gluten free options including their flat breads which were one of our favorites. Highly suggest the fungus among us flat bread and the ribs!! Having gluten free options is very important to us. Their spicy margarita was fantastic.

Thanks Bol!

Bol is a sophisticated bowling ally that is very chic and modern.The bar seen is always happening. It's perfectly located in the middle of Vail Village. The food is great as well! Any age can have fun here. Bol only has ten lanes so don't forget to book a reservation in advance. It's a must try!

Excellent food! One of the more underrated restaurants in the Valley. Great appetizers. The ribs and the tuna tartare are excellent. I've been bringing people from out of town to here for a few years and everyone has a good meal.

After bowling a few balls, I noted that my lead shoe was not sliding. I asked the tall guy with a blonde beard at the front desk if my shoe should be sliding. His response was "yes, but there is not much we can do about that."

On 9/13/20, we made a reservation to bowl at 8 PM. They are supposed to be open until 11. As soon as our party sat down, they told us the kitchen was closing, and it was last call. It was ridiculous! Then we felt so rushed to get out the door. We wanted to finish watching Sunday night football, and they said we could at the bar. The bar said they were closed. But then when we inquired about Pappy Van Winkle whiskey, the bartender said he would serve that. He served two. Didn t mention anything about cost, then just dropped us a $490 bill for two whiskey pours! It was so disrespectful! Horrible customer service experience from the moment we walked in. So disappointing. We called to talk to a manager and they never called us back.

I did not expect a restaurant attached to a bowling alley to be this great. Far more more foodie than I expected. The Brussel sprouts with pancetta were delicious and crisp tender. The gnocchi bowl had a wonderful lemon sauce. The game chili was a hit with both teenagers. The grilled cheese and soul had a grilled cheese for everyone. One teenager would have preferred two bacon and cheese and would have eliminated the apple and brie. Really great spot.

Pretty good, however somewhat basic food. The waiters are friendly and good at their jobs for the most part, however the manager(s) were very unhelpful. The bowling is fun but whatever you do, never ever set up any kind of contract with the place so you can bowl many times as you will almost definitely end up with a problem or loss which they are very inflexible in fixing and may not be resolved despite your efforts in the end.

Way overpriced, burger was good but id rather go to wendys...still hungry when I left...had to wait 17 min till the stoned bartender took my drink order and he still forgot it, wasnt even busy...I don't bartend and I could do a better job than at this joint. Looked more like a gay night club than a bowling alley, but I guess that's the rich Mexico look. Typical lame vail bs

Food was good, over priced, but good. Service did not match the cost of the tab. It's a fancy bowling alley, so think of those times you went to bowling with your school or daycare as a kid...

They overcharged us by $60 for drinks. When brought up at checkout, the waitress immediately knew which drinks weren't ordered without our input as if she had added them intentionally. Additionally, we ordered appetizers before the group opposite us arrived and they received their main course before we even got our appetizers. Bad service, ridiculously expensive. We will not return.

Pretty pricey in the high seasons but a higher end bowling alley with great food and drink selection. The bowling leagues in the shoulder seasons are an awesome deal and tons of fun for locals. Bol is a great place for visiting families to go with kids and do something fun as an alternative to skiing/riding.

It was posted online that they close at 10pm, we showed up at 8:45 and wanted to bowl a game. The lady at the bar said that they actually close at 9pm and sarcastically told us if we could bowl a game in 10 min go ahead. Then the manager came around and said it blatantly shows that it closes at 9 pm(it doesn't) and then verbally assaulted us. our way out we told a party of 10 people that wanted to go in that they actually closed early. Touche Bol. Find better management.

Slow service for the middle of the week in the summer. Waited over 1 1/2 for food for 4. Took another 30 minutes to get a refill on WATER. Over-seasoned food. Restrooms were in need of cleaning up and were out of hand towels.

The food is good and the place is nice, however the service is horrible. Have been there twice: first time the waiter forgot to place an order for one of the entrees; the next day two meals came with wrong sides. But the worst part was the dessert. We have waited for 45 minutes and finally canceled it.

A bit pricey but on par with what you will pay for anything in Vail. The atmosphere is very fun and the food is excellent. Service was top notch as well. The bowling alley is a fresh new twist on the sport and everyone in our party had a great time with it.

5 stars for sure! Stayed in Vail for the weekend with my husband and we ate at Bol THREE times! Yes 3! We went there every single day twice for lunch and once for dinner. I really can t say enough good things about the staff or the food! EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious. The salads, the fish tacos , the sliders, the sweet potato frys, the Ahi Tuna appetizer, SERIOUSLY EVERYTHING was so good! We were treated so well and there was just a happy relaxing vibe! We didn t have our kids with us but plenty of people did! It s located on the heart of vail and is perfect for kids with the giant pit that kids run around and play in located right there! We had asked to sit outside and they made it happen every time! If you are in vail and looking up places to eat stop looking And just go to Bol! You will not be disappointed!!!

Sincerely, the couple who seriously went back three days in a row!

The service was awful here, we had a large group so there was gratuity already included and our servers took that for granted and provided terrible service, our server told my wife to "F*** off" when she asked about taking care of part of our bill so we could leave, food wasn't bad but not worth the price

Have bowled here many times with no issues. However, they are now charging a $300 minimum, which they failed to mention at the time of reserving a lane. This is a ridiculous amount for an hour of bowling.

Way too over priced. The skates and ice rink were very bad quality compared to how much you pay. I understand it is Vail and a tourist location but then you should meet the quality as well. Won t be spending my money here again.

This was surprisingly good. Food tasted really good and the atmosphere was nice. I think it's a place to try out at least once with family and friends. It will cost you though so be prepared.
