Bowlero Milford: Connecticut's Premier Entertainment, Bowling, and Dining Destination

Bowlero Milford Introduce

For Connecticut residents, particularly those in the New Haven and Fairfield County areas, Bowlero Milford has cemented its reputation as a leading, full-scale entertainment complex. Far surpassing the typical local bowling center, this venue is categorized as a comprehensive Bowling Alley, Bar & Grill, Sports Bar, Event Venue, and Video Arcade, making it the perfect hub for both family fun and adult social gatherings.

Bowlero Milford is known for its size and modern amenities, boasting an impressive 54 bowling lanes and a sprawling arcade. The atmosphere is consistently described as vibrant and fun, with modern lighting, comfortable lounge areas, and seasonal decorations that contribute to a high-energy experience. The venue successfully hosts everything from casual drop-in bowling and competitive leagues to large, fully catered parties.

The facility’s food and beverage program is a significant highlight, moving far beyond typical bowling alley fare. Bowlero proudly features a menu with signature specialties and "epic eats" that have been recognized nationally. Though one customer review mentioned initial confusion with new servers and an issue with a specific food order, the menu generally receives high praise for its quality and variety. The popular Pizza and specialized drinks like the Watermelon Rita Tank are often recommended, confirming the venue's status as a dual dining and entertainment spot.

The center’s design naturally separates the venue into different zones, ensuring there is space for every activity. The large Video Arcade area is a major draw for children and adults alike, while the Sports Bar and lounge areas provide a comfortable space for socializing. While some competitive league bowlers note a difference in lane maintenance between the party side (Lanes 1-20) and the league side (Lanes 21-54), the staff often receive positive feedback for their commitment to service, with attendants like Brianna being singled out for doing an "awesome job." Bowlero Milford remains a high-value, high-energy entertainment solution for the Connecticut community.

We were invited to Bowlero for a birthday party. We hadn't been to this location before. There was plenty of parking even though it was packed. I'm assuming it's because it was a Saturday. When I walked in I was very impressed by the set up and decorations for summer. Of course the kids went over to the game area 1st. The person where we got our shoes wasn't very friendly but the encounter was brief. The bathrooms were okay and please be careful of the 1st stale if it isnt fixed. Someome got stuck in there.The lanes were well lit and seemed to have a good selection of balls. I was curious if I could ask for a lighter one for my daughter. The score board worked well. There were plenty of tables outside the lanes, as their were alot of us.The games were expensive to me but I dont bowl often so it could be normal price. They provided space for the birthday and food.When we started to order food and drinks is were some confusion started to come in. The orders were getting mixed up, drinks were coming out that weren't what we ordered, and a set of our chicken wings were not done. When they came out I noticed that they were large and weird looking. I asked if we could send the back for new ones. I was told I couldn't because the other items in the platter were gone. Someone started to eat the chicken and immediately started gagging. We were given new ones but that was really gross and my niece got sick. The drinks weren't strong at all until we ordered the Watermelon Rita Tank which was expensive but it was great. The only food item I liked was the pizza but it was really greasy. We found out that the servers were pretty new so we gave them grace. Brianna did an awesome job. I would cone again and I do recommend keeping everything I said in mind.

Usually have a good experience here, but tonight wasn't so great. If you've ever been to this center then you know it's basically split into 2 different bowling centers, which are separated by the arcade. Lanes 1-20 are essentially used for parties and people just coming in to bowl. This means you're probably going to have a bad time on these lanes. The oil is horrible, and you can tell they just don't care about them. Lanes 21-54 are usually used for league bowling, so they are kept in better condition(still not great, but at least better.). Knowing this, we request a lane on the 21-54 side, as we use our own balls and prefer better maintained oil patterns. Tonight we were told they could not do that(that entire side of the bowling center was empty, and remained that way the entire time we were there). We bowled on the "party" lanes, and if course it was horrible. Most of the staff is great and treats us amazing when we go in there, so we have no problem with that. All I ask is that if you're going to force people to bowl on those first sets of lanes at least maintain them properly so we have the same experience. It frustrating, especially for people that are learning and can't have decent lane conditions to practice on.

I will never go again. I took my daughter and her friend to go bowling on a day off from school. Not only was it expensive, but the employee at front desk gave an attitude for not 1 but 3 big errors in charging me for another $25 as a groupon charge then arguing with me over the phone. The manager said they can't refund my card, but have to go in to get $25 cash or offered my $25 arcade card which is an inconvenience to go there in person. I never had a groupon but charged me on top of shoe rentals and my games. Never again, next time I'll go to Fairfield.

We had a great time here! The technology was up to date and nice to use. The half priced arcade was fun too! I just wished the bathrooms were slightly cleaner and nicer looking. Still great place and would return!

Eh. Place looks good but it’s just ok. The food is like Chuck E. Cheese. Service was really good. The lanes kept missetting pins so that took forever to resolve which was frustrating. Weird enough they had TSA mike security at the door. Gives the place a trashy feel. Would not come back.
