    Awesome time at Frames bowling lounge for our staff holiday outing of 12 people. We ordered the package for 15 people which included a variety of food options. We chose sliders, wings, empanadas, nachos, margherita flatbread and fries. All of the food was delicious -especially the wings! 👌🏽 Good vibes all around. The service was excellent too - especially our server Angel who kept checking on us constantly and refilling our water and drinks. We followed our fun time in bowling at their karaoke lounge too.

    Very fun bowling alley in a relatively convenient location. Nachos were delicious. Pay attention to happy hour specials. Service was slow and inattentive. Possibly because we were in a large group and they tack on a mandatory 18% tip, so servers have little incentive to make an effort. Nevertheless, we had a great time.

    Compared to the UK its pretty pricey however it was well worth it for a slice of NY life. Brilliant service, great food, great drinks and a really entertaining place. Definitely worth a visit 😍

    Buffalo Chicken crispy outside and juicy inside, sliders and fries were delicious. Great place for parties and loads of fun!!!

    Fun experience, food and drinks were quickly served. Staff was a bit rude but otherwise a pleasant time. Would recommend.

    Great place to spend an hour or 2 on bowling. Its located inside of Port authority but you can enter from 9th Ave. Food is a bit pricey but still reasonable for the area. Drinks start from 7 for beers and cocktails are around 15. Minors can stay up to 8pm.

    Love this spot. Nobody seems to wear the shoes and nobody cares. Also they’re usually a bit short on staff but it’s always a good time as long as everyone is chill.

  • Review 9 (2024-07-01 - Rating: 5)

    Loved it here, will definitely go back. I was an hour late for my 2hr reservation and they called to check in and when I got there I assumed we would just only have an hour to play but they took it upon themselves to push my reservation back an hour so I would get the full two hours, I was so appreciative, and they accommodated my extra guest. The food is simple, drinks are good it could be stronger but I don’t think they want people slipping and falling down lanes. Music was on point, very clean and the ambience is super dope 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!

  • Review 10 (2024-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    Last night I was there with friends and colleagues, the food was great and games were great as well. If only the packages were less expensive if you want to bowl for three hours and unlimited food

    Amazing First Bowling Experience at Frames!I visited Frames for the first time to try bowling 🎳, and it was such a fun experience! I came with my sister and brother-in-law, and we all had a fantastic time. The place has a great vibe, and the lanes are well-maintained, making it perfect for beginners like me.The food and drinks were another highlight. As a vegetarian, I appreciated the delicious options available, which made the outing even better. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable experience.I’m already planning my next visit and can’t wait to return! Highly recommend Frames to anyone looking for a fun bowling experience with amazing food and drinks.

    Had an absolute blast at Frames Bowling Lounge during our staff appreciation event! 🎳 The ambiance is lively with a mix of bowling, games, a bar, and even karaoke. We stuck to bowling, but what truly stole the show was the food. The pizza? Simply delightful. And those Buffalo Wings? They get an A+ from me - no exaggerations! The whole experience was top-notch, and Im eagerly looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend! ✨🍕🍗 #BowlingNights #FramesLoungeMagic #FoodieAlert

    Convenient spot to go bowling with friends or on a date. The food is also pretty good! There is also a lounge area if you want to hang out before or after.

  • Review 14 (2024-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    Nice, fun place! There are lots of things to do, depending on what you pay for. We had a premium pkg that included open bar, food, bowling & private karaoke room all for a few hours. Spacious place & clean bathrooms, a plus for me. Had a great time & would definitely go again! Great idea for a small group of friends or family.

  • Review 15 (2023-11-14 - Rating: 5)

    Came here to celebrate a friends birthday. The set up was great. We had the unlimited food and drinks package. Our server Jermaine did his thing. He made sure we wanted for nothing and kept all the guests satisfied. His service gets a 100/10. The food was good and the drinks were strong. After we bowled, we spent an hour doing karaoke. That was also a good time. I definitely recommend Frames for a good time with friends.

  • Review 16 (2024-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    Frames def the vibe! It was a group of us bowling and we did the private karaoke room which was dope. The wings and fries were top tier but drinks not so much! They watered down everything they served and argued with u when u asked for a few splashes more. We also played pool. I think I saw a ping pong table as well. The dj was on point too we danced all night. I def recommend checking them out!

  • Review 17 (2024-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    1 Hr 55 Min Bowling, Shoes, 2 Standard Beer, Wine, Well, or Soda Drink Tickets per guest and 1 Half Platter of Margherita Pizza & Chicken Tenders per Lane for $39.95 pr. guest; and let me tell you those chicken tenders were so bomb I would pass on the pizza and just get the tenders. Staff were super nice, they have karaoke area, and game area as well (you do have to pay extra to be in the gaming area) but its definitely a nice vibe especially with the live DJ playing some bangers! The game area has the huge Jena game, connect 4, ping-pong, and tvs to watch the games. It is 21 and over so you definitely got to bring your ID! They will NOT let you in if you do not have your ID. If Im in the area again I would definitely be back!

    Frames made my birthday really amazing. The price was worth every penny , the staff was so helpful and sweet. The food was tasty and the drinks were really good. I would surely recommend.

  • Review 19 (2022-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    I went here for a team outing back in December 2021; youll have to show proof of vaccination, but masks are not required nor enforced when youre bowling. Our group ordered lots of food, great selection of appetizers, and drinks made the night really fun!

  • Review 20 (2023-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Very cool place to bowl a few rounds, grab a drink (full bar) and dance! Whole vibe feels like a club that happens to have bowling, ping pong, billiards, Jenga, skee-ball, table shuffleboard, and comfy leather couches.

  • Review 21 (2024-04-01 - Rating: 5)

    Okay, this was pre-covid guys. Super fun night out!! Can we go back? Like right now? My friends and I really enjoyed our time here! Bowling + good food! What more can you ask for? Make sure to visit this place!

  • Review 22 (2023-10-16 - Rating: 4)

    Awesome Place, Lackluster Website - This was such an amazing experience. Really chill ambience, just great for taking pictures. Bowling was nice and the crowd was respectable. The pool tables in the back can be better lit and one table was ripped. (Either fix it or dont charge for the compromised table). But bowling is the main event so not a huge issue unless you came for pool alone. The buffalo wings and Fries tastes great but some may find it too salty (at least the batch we received). Restroom facilities were clean; much appreciated. - The Website UX/UI is difficult to navigate and the payment page gave trouble. I submitted payment but it gave an error.... it did NOT give a confirmation code via email and still charged the card! So what is the point of trying to reserve a package? Thankfully walk-ins are welcome but you may need to wait 2hrs for a lane if you come at peak times. All in all a great experience and the staff were quite helpful. Id definitely visit again.

    Really cool bowling alley with great drinks.There are pool and ping pong tables as well.Great vibes!

  • Review 25 (2022-10-04 - Rating: 5)

    The staff is very nice and they are very respectful . I loved the drinks ! (They’re strong ) and the food was delicious as well ! It’s definitely a nice spot and well cleaned . We had a great time here and I loved their playlists of music ! The only downside is they’re overly expensive on somethings BUT don’t let that ruin your fun here ! Just If u go here do it as a group that consists of 5+ people not 1-3 people . And the main area doesn’t do happy hour (which I find is weird , EVERYONE should be able to get happy hour not just one side )

  • Review 26 (2019-09-17 - Rating: 4)

    The cocktails are strong, the equipment and the furnishings are in good condition. The service is great. One awesome thing is that you dont have to wait for the shoes rental - you can just pick a pair for your size from the conveniently organized cubby holes. Two things I dont like are:1. Lighting. The lights over the lanes are frequently dimmed to match the music videos that play on the screens over each frame. This might help the mood and stuff, but makes it hard to aim, actually.2. Balls selection. The combinations of weights/holes sizes are quite few. If you prefer a ball with bigger finger holes but dont want it to be a 15lbs block buster, you have to ask the desk, and even then the success is not guaranteed.

    Great place. Good deals if you pay attention to the offerings and packages. Had a great time with friends. Clean and good service.

  • Review 28 (2021-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome bowling alley that has more than just bowling! There are a ton of bowling lanes as well as lounge areas, ping pong tables, billiards, ski ball, karaoke, etc. Prices are also pretty good compared to other bowling alleys in Manhattan. The bowling alley is on the second floor when you enter (there’s an elevator).We came here as a group of 5 and ended up paying about $30ish per person for 1 lane for 2 hours (this includes the shoe rental). When we came, it was in the afternoon on a Sunday and it was pretty empty, so no problem walking in and reserving a lane.Pros:- GREAT space! Very large, clean, with many bowling lanes, along with ping pong tables, billiards, ski ball, karaoke, and more- Surprisingly good food!Mainly bar food (chicken wings, chicken tenders, guac and chips, fries, quesadillas, etc) but the menu is pretty large so you have things to choose from. Get the HAND CUT FRIES - they were AMAZING.- Food comes in “regular” size or “party size”- Alcoholic drinks also available- Friendly staff- Fun and elevated ambience- Great for hanging out with friends or going with your family (kid-friendly!)Cons:- Our lane was not returning our balls at first, but this was shortly resolved by the staff after telling them the problemMy friends and I had a great time here celebrating our friend’s birthday! The food was actually really good compared to the expected quality of food at bowling alleys. We got the hand cut fries (delicious), chicken taquitos (also good), chicken tenders (flavorful and not dry at all), and guac and chips (so-so).They also had sanitizer on the walls between lanes, which is great. Overall, we were very impressed with the ambiance of the place, there’s a great vibe/energy, good music, and cool lights.Would definitely recommend! Perfect for groups/large groups of friends, and families. Also seems like a perfect place for companies to also hold a “company event”.

  • Review 29 (2021-08-31 - Rating: 5)

    I went there with a group of 8 people, some of us were late and they offered to let us start at a later time, that way we get our full 2 hours. The food was good and we couldn’t finish most of it, some of us also ordered drinks from the bar, and I must say, it was really good!!! They check ID for that. Although you wouldn’t be able to play that well after having a drink or 2. The lounge is very nice and I might go there again. I saw they have a karaoke lounge but it is not open yet.Really nice spot for a group or date.

  • Review 30 (2024-05-01 - Rating: 5)

    I planned a group event for 40+ people in the ping-pong room only have positive things to say. My communication with Laura was easy and she responded right away. When I arrived they were ready with wristbands and well organized. I liked that there were multiple food stations, which allowed the group to spread out. I had attendees with various dietary restrictions and they put out clear signs for everything through out the space. Lady, the server assigned to our space was very attentive and energetic. Ill admit that I was concerned as this was a company event but everyone had a blast. The food and the drinks were really good. I look forward to planning another event. I cant add pictures because it was a private company event.

    Frames Bowling Lounge is a unique spot where the fun is housed under an unsuspecting exterior. As the saying goes, dont judge a book by its cover, and this venue truly embodies that adage. I went there with coworkers. From the outside, one may not immediately grasp the vibrant energy and versatile entertainment that awaits within. Yet, once inside, visitors are greeted with a modern, luxurious atmosphere that is both welcoming and exciting.I would describe it as a stylish bowling lounge situated in the bustling heart of NYC. It boasts 28 sleek bowling lanes accompanied by flat-screen TVs and giant projection screens, creating an immersive bowling experience for all. Beyond bowling, the lounge also features a billiards room, a gracious lounge area, and two bars, making it an ultimate spot for nightlife and bowling entertainment​​. Theres more than just bowling to enjoy; the lounge also offers billiards, ping pong, and karaoke, along with the option to skip the line by reserving online, catering to those who are 21 and over after 8pm.The great food and drinks add to the fun ambiance. The only downside was the temperature control as it can get quite warm, and more air conditioning could enhance comfort.Frames Bowling Lounge appears to be a haven for those looking to have a good time, enjoy tasty food and drinks, and immerse themselves in a variety of fun activities all under one roof. Despite its unassuming exterior, the interior of Frames Bowling Lounge is teeming with lively entertainment and jovial camaraderie, making it a worthy destination for both locals and visitors alike.

    Nicest bowling alley I have been too. Boys loved it. Not cheap but its in Manhattan so it has to be expensive I guess. Would go back.

    I visited this spot with a group of friends initially with the intention to bowl, but enjoyed just lounging around. We ended up ordering a bunch of drinks and food. We talked, laughed, and danced to the right DJ songs and took a lot of fun pictures. The entire place pulsated with an upbeat energy which I admit I didnt fully explore, yet what I experienced was truly fun. Plus, the servers? Super friendly! Their warmth only added to an awesome evening. I totally recommend this place!

    The best time we had! Our company went out of business, so I was searching for a place to have a party to celebrate the team of 18 and to reminisce about our time together. Well I called up Laura the event planner and she was an absolute gem , professional and really all around an unbelievable nice person 👏. When we arrived we were in amazement with the set up and the VIP lounge. Fantastic time! Our server Javier , not surprised was another amazing experience. We was knowledgeable, professional and checked in with us. All around 10 stars . Thank you for making our last time together memorable ❤

  • Review 60 (2023-04-25 - Rating: 5)

    The staff at this establishment is the reason I would always make sure I support this business. On Saturday Me and My mom friends took the kiddies on a play date. We went to get food first, than we called to make sure our babies were allowed to enter Frames around the time we were trying to attend. As we walked over we got caught in the rain ((just giving a little background story so you guys can understand why we were even more appreciative and grateful)). When we got to frames there was a sign that stated no availability until midnight. There was a young lady at the front desk wish I got her name she was sweet and nice. We explained to her we called before hand & the young man on the phone knew we were coming but failed to tell us there were no lanes available. She called the Manager over for us. Now I want to make this very clear we need more people like Ms/Mrs.Claudette in customer service. Her energy and presence was so lovely. Not for one second did she start with a unfortunately or begin with its nothing I can do. She came into the situation very understanding and began with this is what I can do. Im not sure about everyone else but I havent been to many places lately where the employees even care to greet you with a smile. I work very hard for my money and if Im going to spend it with a business frames is top of my list. We need to keep businesses like this open they value their customers, theyre definitely hiring the right people , and even more so for our kids to have entertainment like we do. Its a overall fun environment, clean , music is great, drinks are good, and very safe establishment. Im truly happy with how we were treated and our little toddlers had a ball.

After we finished bowling, we were able to play pool and they had such cute signs to take photos in front of. I would most definitely come back here. The manager was so sweet as well. Honestly this was one of the best bowling alleys I’ve ever been to. Thank you Frames for hosting us and making our night special & fun!

    Lots of space, a few levels of entertainment. There are the bowling lanes and they also have karaoke on a different floor. They serve food. Adults only after 8pm (I think... please check before you go). Kids love it here, especially tweens/teens. Neighborhood is meh....just be careful. Its NYC so needless to say no street parking - you can park in a garage if you want to pay a ridiculous fee. Quite easy to get to by subway

    Its a fun place. We had a ball. The music was popping. The food is decent. We had the chicken tenders and pizza. The drinks were good. We did the $40 per person deal. It includes food, 2 drinks and 2 hours of bowling. I would go again.

    This will be the second time that I go to Frames for a Birthday celebration. I had booked the VIP Room with the help of Laura, she was amazing making our process so fast and easy, The food was DELICIOUS, we order Beef sliders, Jumbo coconut shrimp, Asian Teriyaki wings, and Truffle Pizza. And We had Pitchers of Margaritas (Regular & Pomegranate flavors) which were also delicious. The service was 10/10. We enjoyed our night and had lots of fun.

    Great for early birthday party and excellent waiters

  • Review 85 (2024-02-25 - Rating: 4)

    It’s a very nice place, nice vibes, but a bit overpriced for bowling. The lanes seem too narrow compared to any other one and when you throw the ball, even in the middle, it curves, which makes us believe the lane has some bump. But the place is very nice and has many other games, like Jenga, table tennis, etc.

    I usually dont write reviews but I wanted to share how awesome my experience at Frames was this past weekend. I rented the private VIP lounge for my Fiancés birthday and it was the coolest thing ever! It had two lanes and a nice lounge area. We were even able to connect our music to the speakers. We all got the package that included food and premium bar which was definitely worth it!! The food was delicious. The Asian teriyaki wings were so yummy. Our waiter Javier kept the pitcher of drinks coming which we loved! They even accommodated us for the half hour we lost of bowling due to a mechanical malfunction. I will definitely be booking another event real soon :)

  • Review 89 (2018-06-16 - Rating: 4)

    Very clean and upscale place. Great atmosphere. DJ definitely knows how to move the crowd and plays a great selection of music. Mainly hip hop. Drinks are good. Not watered down. The only minor issue I had was I ordered coconut shrimp and fries and it was salty. The chef was very generous with the salt. Other than that, I had a great time at Frames Bowling Lounge and would definitely do it again.

    We chose Frame for our quarterly team outing and it was an amazing experience! We got a package for two hours of bowling, the food and drinks were included. We had an amazing time and will definitely come back :). 100% recommended!

  • Review 94 (2024-08-04 - Rating: 4)

    Sorry for the late review but I didnt really get a chance to to reflect on my experience until recently. I visited in August 6, 2022, almost exactly two years ago to the date! I remember cuz it was my first time ever bowling at 41 years old and I went with a friend who I was visiting in the city. Being from California and living in Dallas there are plenty of bowling alleys, but I never took a chance to actually visit one until My friend who I was visiting suggested that we do so and I was not exactly in love with the idea but I reluctantly agreed. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a humdinger. We had fun and even though I sucked I still enjoyed the environment and the cocktails. I think the only thing that really left much to be desired was the food. While it wasnt exactly awful or anything, it still left much to be desired. But all in all, it was a great experience probably the best that I had the entire trip!

  • Review 96 (2022-03-13 - Rating: 4)

    Overall my friends and I had a good time. The food and drinks were great. The music was super lively and I think we danced more the bowled lol. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because the lanes are VERY close together. We were a party of 6 and the lane next to us had at least 10 people so we were literally on top of each other. But other then that it was a good time

  • Review 97 (2023-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    Went here for a work event and it was so fun! The food was great! Our kanes kept getting messed up and after many attempts of employees trying to fix the lanes the manager finally changed us to different lanes AND gave us an extra half hour to bowl to compensate for the issues! Definitely going back!!

  • Review 100 (2022-08-08 - Rating: 4)

    Good bowling venue connected directly to Port Authority (easy access to buses and subway). They run promotions which can be of good value, but I would recommend making reservations.Some waitstaff left a bit to be desired (wanted to order drinks, waited a couple min., no server, so we walked over to the bar (we were at lane 15 and the bar is 10 away), a couple min. later our server showed up and was upset that we ordered at the bar (not entirely because of the tip since we had drink tickets)).Frames: check Lane 15 for levelness, either our group was cursed or theres an off spot about 2/3 the way down.

  • Review 102 (2023-05-10 - Rating: 4)

    Frames was cheaper and had a better vibe than Bowlmor Lanes but they are both a good time.

  • Review 103 (2019-12-12 - Rating: 4)

    I visit this location annually for our holiday party and always have a very good time. The bowling alley has a New Yorkcentric modern design with an upscale feel. Comfortable couches, several bars and great music make this a great location to spend time with friends and coworkers. The party food served is very good including fried chicken, margarita pizzas, pretzels and sliders. The cold beer towers help to quickly refill your drinks. The only reason for the 4 stars rather than the 5 stars is because several times on our lane (lane 1) after a player bowled the frame score would reset and at times move to a prior player. Fortunately we didn’t take the games too seriously as this causes the score to radically change. I would recommend this location and hopefully the issue with the lane frame resets get resolved.

We got Classic Buffalo wings, Angus beef sliders and Fried Mac and Cheese. It was so good and fresh!Not to mention they have happy hour until 7pm! What more can we ask for!!!! The DJ was amazing!!You could do more than Bowling! They also have karaoke, billiards, ping pong !!!!I will definitely return to Frames for the next company event and or personal events as well!!!!!Thank you!!!!! 😊

  • Review 106 (2021-07-26 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place, great food, but the shoes are rough looking (old and cracked). The good thing about it though is that you can pick your own shoes, so you can search and find a decent pair. But the shoes definitely dont match the place. Also, if you care about the score, take a pic of it before your time is up because it doesnt stay on the screen.

  • Review 107 (2023-07-25 - Rating: 4)

    I am in a weekly bowling league. It is a cool space. This is a food only review.Week one: chicken tenders and mac and cheese bites. (not pictured) Chicken tenders were great! Very chunky, large portions. Much saltier than usual, you will want a drink handy. Would order any time. Mac and cheese bites were disappointing. The flavor was so mid. But easy to share.Week two: Buffalo chicken empanadas. Disappointing taste, skip itWeek three: chicken quesadilla. Super good, straight down the middleLooking forward to trying more! The menu is so big

    Very cool. Came here for a team building event my boss coordinated. This place is like a night club! Great food, served buffet style with whatever alcohol you choose. Comfy couches for every lane. Theres also ping ping and billiards. All within easy walk of major subway lines. This is a fantastic place for work events or meeting friends, and considering what you get, the prices are fair. Highly recommended.

    Had my daughters first birthday held in the lyric lounge. The food is surprisingly good and the atmosphere is very friendly and upbeat. Alcoholic beverages are overpriced but maybe its a good thing to not have anyone getting too drunk. The place is clean and has security staff that are non intimidating. Its nice to know they are keeping an eye out for their patrons. The staff handling our party were courteous and attentive and gave the feeling that they liked working there. We will definitely be back as a family to do some bowling or maybe having another party.

The food was absolutely delicious and every server, including the bartenders went above and beyond keeping us fed and happy.Karaoke is the best thing in the world and we spent a lot of time in there, as well as the other games and billiards.Bowling experience is absolutely amazing and what good is bowling of you can’t have one of the best Arnold palmers in the City?You’ll never find a better slider and chicken finger experience on the planet earth. Not sure what occurs on Mars, but here on Earth, you won’t find a better chicken finger, chicken tender, slider, and Arnold Palmer experience.

    Holiday party- first I have to say everyone from the front staff to the back house are so nice and the environment is very people-friendly and efficient. Cant say enough about the servers, Javier and Mike; they were so attentive. Also, everything flows very well from the check-in desk to the lanes to karaoke. My group of about 70 attendees had so much fun that they didnt want to leave when our time was done...and to think some werent sure if they were going lol. Convenient location in PABT; cant beat the food, plenty of options. Good fun, lots of smiles and laughs from the lyric lounge sessions. Everything was so well done. Kudos to all the staff! Highly recommend planning your next event here.

  • Review 128 (2018-02-12 - Rating: 5)

    We were in the VIP area for a 30th birthday party and it was perfect! There were 13 bowlers but the space wouldve easily accommodated 5 more. The staff were all extremely helpful and attentive, the food was good, and we had a ton of fun. It is good to know that this room is rented by the hour, not per game, so whenever your time is up the lanes turn off no matter where you are in the game. Not a big deal for us, it was not competitive, just provided a fun and exciting place for friends to catch up and celebrate. I would go again and recommend to friends, and with a group of adults I would absolutely rent the VIP section again.

  • Review 130 (2019-08-22 - Rating: 4)

    It was hot in there the entire time we played but I liked several things about it. The shoe selection is self service. The game computer felt like it was in good shape. All the balls were heavily scarred but that is normal. We played 2 full games with only 2 glitches. They were easily fixed by using the computer to cycle /reset. The music was fairly vanilla when I was there, but there were signs up about a live dj late at night. It is little weird when you go in. The first floor is under construction, so you are walking past a heavy tarp until you get to a little elevator. The elevator has signs all over it warning of a maximum capacity of 10 people. I didnt try the food or alcohol, so no comment on that.

  • Review 131 (2022-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    I came here for pool and ping pong. The pool tables leave to be desired. The sticks are beyond their usable life and the table arent level. This being the said the ping pong tables more than make up for it. Quiet room away from the loud bowling lanes with a great ambiance. 6 tables so rarely full and great prices. Highly recommend!

Tip: The entrance is on 9th Avenue between 41st & 42nd Street..do not follow the sign indoors that steers you to an inaccessible entrance on the 2nd floor of the port authority. The beer towers are a nice touch. And the food smelled good.
