Bowling Night - North Jersey

This is an event for casual bowling at Montvale Lanes, 14 W. Grand Ave. All are welcome for two games, food and drinks, and any post- or pre-game hang out. Show up anytime! Questions or comments? You can message Andy Milone on Meetup, or call/text him at 201-234-9609.

*** Before bowling, we might stop by the Pizza Parlour, 6 S. Kinderkamack Road in Montvale, for a few slices at 6:15 p.m. First, post a comment on the event page to gauge interest. After bowling, we'll definitely be heading to Davey's Irish Pub & Restaurant, 5 Park St. in Montvale, or The Ridge Diner, 125 Kinderkamack Road in Park Ridge, at 10 p.m. for some food and/or drinks up until midnight.***

About the group: We're not professionals and we're not in a league. In fact, we're a group of people who probably each won't score more than 100 points and will land more than our fair share of gutter balls. There's no pressure at all!!!! We're not here to analyze your form or technique.

More event details: You pay for your own games, food and drinks. Please bring cash. The alley does not accept card. But there is an ATM on site. The cost per player is $18 for two games and bowling shoes. If you have your own shoes, the cost is $12. Please try to bring exact change since Andy will have a limited amount of cash. If you bring a $20 bill and Andy doesn't have change, any remainder would just go toward the bowling alley tip.

Food and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are available on site, plus tables and an alley bar to hang at during the event. There is a dart board and a few arcade games, as well.

What do you do when you get there? First, find the group inside around the front desk. Look for a growing group of people! Call or text Andy Milone at 201-234-9609 if you can't find us. Pay Andy before getting bowling shoes. *NEW* He'll give you a name tag or wrist band. *NEW*

Please know that it is possible we have to wait 20-40 minutes until lane(s) free up. (He is thinking about changes to possibly address this too). It's certainly possible that we may have to relocate or cancel that night if there's a long wait list upon arrival. Please keep that in mind if traveling from far away!

For those who don't have cars or are looking to avoid driving, the Montvale Train Station is only like a five-minute walk from the bowling alley and can be reached via the Pascack Valley Line. Last train leaves at 12:20 a.m. and heads toward Hoboken. (https://gmtma.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rail_system_map.jpg)
