100 year old place with some kitchy spaces. The basement 70s bar is a nostalgic nod to years gone by and old velvety stuff, retro bowling alleys are that way because they've never been upgraded but still very cool. Band area was okay but the stage on the small venue could have been higher, I'm 6'5 and I couldn't see the band that well. Food not bad either. Overall take away, fun place to see a band, and frankly, I really wanted to bowl

This was my family’s first visit to this place, and it certainly won’t be our last. We were there for a birthday get-together, and I have to start by raving about the eatery in the alley—Parkys! I had the Rodeo burger and fries, and let me tell you, this burger packs a punch in flavor and quality. The onion straws are freshly made, and the BBQ sauce is thick with just the right amount of sweet heat. The bun is sturdy enough to hold all that deliciousness together. Now, the fries—absolutely incredible! They have a unique crispy breading and a fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth interior that I can’t get enough of. Do yourself a "flavor" and sprint to Parkys to indulge in their amazing food. Supporting local eateries not only rewards your taste buds but also helps strengthen our community. Without a doubt, Parkys earns a well-deserved 5 stars!

Mahall’s is where the magic happens! I went to the Disney Channel Original Movie-themed night at Mahall’s and I’m still not over it. From the music to the energy to the setup, everything was chef’s kiss. It was a full-on nostalgia trip in the best way possible. They played hit after hit from classic DCOMs like High School Musical, Cheetah Girls, Camp Rock, and more, and the crowd was living for it. The venue itself is fantastic. Easy bar access (which is rare and appreciated), spacious dance floor, great sound, and just an overall cool vibe that made the night feel special. Everyone was there to have fun, and Mahall’s created the perfect space for it. Truly, my inner child was healed that night. My only wish? That events like this happened more often. If you’re thinking about checking out an event at Mahall’s, DO IT. They know how to throw a themed night that hits all the right notes.

Super retro bowling alley with great drinks and tons of vintage furniture. I enjoyed learning how to score myself, but it was a little challenging to see how many pins were knocked down. That just made it more fun, though.

This is a great place to see your favorite band live! When I went out for a smoke break before the main show started, I got to meet a band member outside (Hi Phil!) I held the door open for him and we're pretty much best friends now. Gotta thank Mahalls for that! The venue was smaller than I expected, but it wasn't overcrowded at all. If anything, it just made the concert feel more personal. I was 5 feet away with a perfect view watching Ax shred, and I didn't have to throw any elbows to get there. The opening band, Easy Honey, blew our damn socks off. The speakers were thumping, the lighting was kino, and the bands were awesome. I am very thankful to the bands and Mahalls for making my first concert so great! I'm a concert guy now. 6 stars outta 5, best bowling alley in da world 👌

We hosted a wedding reception here. Abbey (manager) was very easy to work with. Bar meal type food was very good. Sound system was one of the best I’ve experienced at a reception. It’s a concert venue so it should be good. They had the mid’s turned down so you could talk, but the bass kept the dance floor hopping. Bartenders were very accommodating and friendly. They used old bowling alley equipment remnants as decorations for a unique vibe. Bathrooms were clean and bright! Parking can be a challenge, but that’s most places in Lakewood. If you’re looking for a hall that’s a good value for a wedding reception or large party, Mahall’s should be on your short list.

I've been to Mahalls twice now for concerts, but my boyfriend has been here a few times for them, so as far as that goes, it's one of our favorite places to hit up shows that are in town. It's a smaller venue for live shows, which makes it a more intimate experience, which I prefer. It's still a decent size, though, for having live bands!!! The food is really good too. Highly recommend any of their chicken sandwiches. I know there is more to Mahalls than just the concert are, but if you are into seeing bads and your favorites are playing here, definitely go to see them. Both times I have gone, I've met members from the bands, and the merch tables are right there. Easy access to basically everything you need and want.

Super cute nostalgic place. It was pretty empty when I visited. I didn't eat or drink anything because I didn't see much on the menu that I was in the mood for. The bowling area caught my eye, so I'll probably come back on a weekend to experience a more upbeat vibe.

Food was very tasty and with a limited menu I feel like you get a better quality for the choices they provide. Service was all good. Speedy and friendly. Ambiance was the best part of experience. Was a total vibe from the time you walk in to the bar to the food area to the bowling down stairs and the downstairs bar area was super retro with the bowling alley. Just super cool

I really enjoyed my visit to Mahalls not only do they offer a concert venue. They also offer a bowling alley on the lower level as well as a restaurant and brunch location. I also enjoyed how they offered vegan options on their brunch as well as late night menu. During my visit I like how nostalgic and older feeling the bowling alley was. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating as well as welcoming. I highly suggest checking out Mahalls if you're looking for a delicious brunch spot that offers vegan options or if you're looking to have some fun with friends, enjoy a concert or possibly play some bowling.

Phenomenal wheelchair accesibility both in the The physical layout of the building and in the attitudes of all of the workers and security guards was great. Wheelchair ramp was good and had rails so could use hands to pull up a well as my legs. The process of getting in and getting seated in the designated area was very easy without any feelings of ostracization from the rest of the crowd. Great view of the stage, even in the wheelchair. Had folding chair for my companion. Offered and was around during the show for Amy needs that might arise(none did). Bathrooms had a step down to them way in the back from the the ADA seating area. ( it was not a problem just giving info).There was nothing they could have done better. An amazing experience!

Great shows, it's the main reason I visit. The cocktails are often weak and the last time I went and asked for a dry martini I got a dirty martini instead, that's amateur hour. The bartenders were friendly at least, but I wouldn't order a drink there again. The vibe is interesting, it's in an old bowling alley. They've got 3 concert/event spaces, 2 full bars and the bar downstairs is a vintage cocktail bar next to the bowling lanes which you can still play. They also sell vintage clothes upstairs, and have a free Photo Booth. All in all, it's a great place to catch a show!

What a cool place to grab a bite! We ate from the brunch menu and were not disappointed! The brined fried chicken is so tender! If you try anything get the chicken and waffle sandwich. Yum-o! Great vegan options. Great music, quirky, historic building and friendly, knowledgeable staff. A great experience!

This was a fun spot to see a concert. Creative cocktails and delicious appetizers. The separate areas make purchasing/closing tabs clunky. Concert space, bar space, dining space, bowling space - all separate checks. If you order a drink at the food counter (seltzer or canned beer for example), you would need to go up to the bar to order a cocktail on a separate tab. Because the drinks are creative, they take longer to make. Having only 1 bartender an hour before a concert starts with over 150 tickets sold isn't wise. Nonetheless, it's a must-visit location to see a show. I'd recommend ordering two drinks with your food and taking the second one into the show.

Overall, a pretty cute place! Definitely a retro vibe that instantly transport you the minute you walk inside. The outside isn't the most impressive, but it's quite homey once you're in. Also in a cute area of Cleveland which is nice. I came here to see a concert, and it was definitely an intimate setting. There's only a small stage, and then the rest of the room is all standing room, so if you're in the back, I doubt you'd see anything on stage. We were in the fourth or third row and still had trouble seeing at some points. The acoustics were pretty nice though. Sadly, I didn't get to taste any food, but the workers were fairly friendly. My only complaint is on our tickets it said the show would start at 6:30, but the doors didn't even open until 7, and the opener didn't go on until 8. Could have just been the specific performer, but it was a long time to wait in the sun!

My husband and I attended a show with 3 bands at this hipster-like bowling alley/music venue. We enjoy coming here because of the laid back vibe and ability to check out live music, get reasonably priced drinks and bowl. The service at the bar was friendly and quick. The downside of the night was that the sound for the shows was mediocre.

Always a fun place. I was there for a benefit and it was done very well. The bowling is very retro and the lanes have been maintained well.

When you walk into Mahall's it has an old vibe type of smell. When you walk in, they have a vintage type of vibe with a party room to your left, bowling in the middle, and food to your right. I wasn't super hungry, but I got something small to eat. I heard the fries and burgers were supposed to be great, but since I wasn't super hungry I just got fries. You go and order at a counter once you know what you want and have a numbered stand that you put on your table. The fries weren't that great unfortunately and extremely salty. I wish I had some water to go along with it, and it seems overpriced at $4.32. Overall, I'd give Mahalls another chance since I didn't properly use its facilities as much as I could've and didn't eat anything outside the fries. I

Nested in Lakewood this hidden gem will not only send your tastebuds into overdrive but you will def have random thoughts of their awesome. Me and my husband recently stopped in and tried their Board Board and we were throughly impressed. Their brunch board is full of so many amazing breakfast items. Everything is flavorful. Their drinks are amazing and I really love the overall rustic look of the restaurant. The staff is friendly, service was excellent and it's for sure a repeat spot!!!

So this place was pretty cool, bowling alley, bar, food and a nice venue for shows. We ate back at the burger place and let me tell you... 10/10 would recommend you get a burger or chicken sandwich from there. I almost went back for a second chicken sandwich.

Went to brunch with friends and we all loved what we ordered. The chicken breakfast sandwich was delish as well (not pictured). We were SCARFING down the home fries and after much debate, think they are broken up hash brown patties. Very decadent for straightforward food.

Been coming to Mahall's for nearly 10 years! Attended numerous concerts, dance parties/Emo nights, and vintage/Halloween pop-up flea markets...Super fun atmosphere and AMAZING food. Highly recommend their brunch- I'm obsessed with the breakfast burrito and chicken 'n waffles! Family-friendly establishment, but also suitable for a date night. Pins and Needles is the new 70s-themed bar downstairs (obsessed). Parky's Pop-ups offers catering. They have a variety of options when it comes to a hosting venue: Weddings, Private Corporate Events, Bowling Birthday Parties...I had my daughter's first birthday in the main room last year and it was perfect! Really couldn't ask for a better venue.

Brunch review: This place is awesome and I really hope they keep doing brunch. Much better than the majority of brunch places I've been in Cleveland. There's a couple things they need fix to be a perfect brunch spot. 1. BLINDS - Half the restaurant space feels like you're sitting on the surface on the sun. It's hot and just wayyyyy to bright. 2. Less salt, the burrito and the hash browns are eye watering levels of salty. They taste great but man the salt really takes it down a couple notches. Don't let any of this deter you. They have seating not next to those giant windows and the food really is good. Service is fantastic as well.

This review is strictly for the "larger" music venue. We went there for the Baroness show last month. There weren't any pictures of this music venue online so we weren't sure what to expect. We stood in a line waiting to get into the venue, and as we entered the venue, there was a quirky vintage clothing shop on the way into the club. "How fun! How kitschy! How Portland!", I thought. I was hopeful this would end up being a cool venue to see them in. Nope. It was a small, poorly ventilated box with low ceilings. The stage wasn't elevated enough for us to even see the band. And this was not a cheap show. The tickets were $60!!! People were packed in like sardines and the air was so stuffy it was hard to breathe through the mask. The band requested people wear masks, but most people weren't. I couldn't stop thinking this place was the perfect breeding ground for covid. When the show was finally over and we started walking out, we saw one of the structural beams in the club had a thermostat and it said 80 degrees!!! What the heck!!! No wonder it felt so miserable! It was just not comfortable or enjoyable or fun. Even if one of my favorite bands played there, I wouldn't go back.

Drinks were great and had a great atmosphere. I would not go to a concert there again, it was a thousand degrees inside the venue and the sound was just bad. If you're going bowling or to the bar, it's pretty great!

We tried their Alice in Wonderland drinks in the remodeled bar area and it was an awesome experience. Definitely wanna go back for the food. In the past we've seen music here and it was fun. The drinks are so creative and Instagrammable. Go see some on my IG Cleveland.Westside.Eats.

Some of the best food I've had in ages. The flavor profiles were unmatched. You will not be disappointed with stopping in and catching a bite to eat and a show there! Everyone is so nice and welcoming once you walk in the door! I went an hour out of my way to try out the food, and I start drooling when I think about it now ! Do yourself a favor and get a blast of flavor! And they literally can make 90/100% of their dishes vegetarian or vegan!

Love this place! Even though its not totally set for my generation ( I'm old ) , I appreciate the uniqueness and cool vibe. The multiple concert stages offer bands you probably won't find many other places. On the other hand, the old school bowling is right up my alley! Remember penciling in and adding your own score on a paper sheet? Do that here! And finally, the fried chicken is second to none in my opinion. Crispy out and juicy in, and seasoned just right. The chicken sandwich is better than the chains too. I don't ever need to go anywhere else for my chicken!

Came here for an event and can only comment on the cocktails at the bar. A bit peculiar to still sell Christmas themed drinks in March but the one I tried I did not feel was worth the price point. I want to come back to try to speakeasy downstairs but it was closed due to a pipe burst

We came here from Columbus for a concert, and didn't know what to expect for the venue. What a cool place! We were so surprised. Not only is it a cool venue for indie bands, there are bowling lanes, a bar, and a small restaurant. The fried chicken and fries were really good, the cocktails were a bit expensive, but delicious, and the beer was cheap! There was also tons of parking available. I would certainly come again!

This is a Cleveland MUST! There is something about bowling somewhere that takes you back a generation (or two). Any time I have family or friends in town I take them here & they all have enjoyed their experience. I recommend making reservations (which are available to make on their website) on the weekends so you don't have to wait. Thanks Mahall's! Looking forward to more nights bowling with y'all.

Had the chicken and waffle sandwich. The chicken was moist and tender on the inside, crisp on the outside... that's what you want, however; the waffles were prepackaged. They were Julian's Belgian style waffles, I know the brand because I buy them and eat them semi-regularly. They're good, but I can go down the street and buy them myself. The sauces on the sandwich were good, the hash on the side was pretty average. Honestly the best part of the meal was the coffee... Von Ray, or Ray Von blend, or something like that (local from what they told me). All in all, it was a mediocre meal that was way overpriced for something that is made with a half-measured effort. If you're going to make the hash and chicken in house, make the extra effort and make the waffle too. For chicken and waffles, there's Deagan's, and the Winchester. Winchester is best IMO. Deagan's is good for a weekday when you can't get weekend brunch at Winchester.

This place is Chris Hardwick's wet dream - a bowling alley that also has a performance space where comedy shows and small concerts put on by indie bands you've never heard of are held at least once a month. I write this as I wait for the $5 monthly SUPER SHOW to begin (second Wednesday of every month, show begins at 8 : 00 and you should get there early because it fills up fast). The bar has a small menu with THE most amazing fried chicken you'll have on Cleveland. EDIT: The Super Show is no more, I'm afraid. Other events still being held here!

Nice place. Very well decorated and friendly staff. We were here for a work party and at first I thought it was an odd choice. The lanes are very nostalgic and I live that they kept that 50s/60s feel in the alley part. We didn't try the food but the beer selection is great, and prices are reasonable. Great service at the bar even though it got a bit busy. Kid friendly.

The company my friend works for booked a holiday party at Mahall's and I was invited as a guest. The bartenders were very attentive and fast, the drinks were delicious. The company also ordered food off of their catering menu. Nothing crazy just some chicken and noodles. The food was good and the sauces were great. The reason for my two star review is that my friend and I saw one of the employees taking food from the line. It just seemed distasteful and unprofessional considering that we were there with a hospitality group.

Mahall's is your classic bowling experience. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the newer bowling lanes that are popping up, but it adds to its charm. Both upstairs and downstairs lanes, they each offer the same experience. Its definitely a little grungey and divey, so don't expect anything fancy. Also, when you go, make sure you have someone who is willing and knowing to keep score! There are not automated score keepers. Someone will need to do math. Also, the bowling during weekdays is $4 a game, which is super affordable compared to Corner Alley or Pinstripes. On the weekends though, its priced per hour. I would give them a call to clear up any confusion you may have!

Very cool scene in Lakewood. Old school bowling where you score yourself, neat vintage-looking bar and food ordering area. Bowling lanes and balls weren't in top condition, so if you are a competitive bowler, maybe not the lanes for you. If you're just looking for a different scene for hanging with friends, it's a great choice. We opted to pay by the hour, $20 per lane, which was a very reasonable price. Bonus - if you are looking for a full night event, you can bowl and then see live music all in the same building. Extra cover charge for music but it's small $.

We came here on Friday night for a work event. The atmosphere is extremely casual; the shoe rentals are at the front of the establishment, and there is a downstairs and an upstairs area. Our party was in the downstairs area. We had a wonderful time, but there were a few things that I noticed that weren't great. First, two of the lanes we had reserved, while not in complete disrepair, were certainly not incredibly well maintained. The lane farthest to the right completely broke while we were playing, and we were just down a lane; it looked as if a plastic bag got caught in the lane. The lane next to it was better but had a slightly broken ball detection mechanism, though it remained functional with some jiggering. Also, there are two bars, one upstairs and one downstairs. The downstairs bar is fairly rinky dink with few options and no draft beer, while the other bar has draft beer along with a better selection of alcohol. Parity would have been nice. That being said, the place is clean and has a great atmosphere, so I wasn't disappointed; I just felt the experience could have been better.

Ally K.

Yelp
This place is overrated. The bowling is far from legit, the cocktails are very expensive, the whole place is in need of a working AC unit. The worst part was the downstairs bartender who made us wait 20 min to order a drink, as he prepared cocktails for the others at the bar, and then turned to us and claimed he was only serving beer and shots only. Like we didn't just see him serve the others cocktails, and like he couldn't mention that 20 min earlier when we sat down. I wouldn't recommend, no matter what cringey influencers try to tell you about this being a hot spot of Cleveland.

This is one of the must interesting bowling alley/bar/concert venues I've been too. With all three components of alcohol, live music and fun in one you'll be sure to find something you like. The drinks are a little pricey, but the cost to bowl in a big group is cheap! You'll find all types of people at this place which makes the night even more entertaining. Very old school with a large helping of hipster :)

89 degrees in the venue with no airflow. And the sound is awful. I don't recommend seeing a show here ever.

Their fried chicken and chicken nuggets are so delicious and they brine them in pickle juices for 24 hours, giving their crispy outside such a delicious taste! They also threw in a couple extra pieces of chicken which blew my mind even more and def get the Nashville hot sauce with it..really adds to the experience! Good people, great food! If you love fried chicken, try this!

I can't believe I've never written a review for this place! I have been coming here for years and this is, BY FAR, one of my absolute favorite music venues. Not only is the place super safe (and clean!), but the entire staff is extremely accommodating and quick to resolve any issues (with drunk people, weirdo's, etc.). Scared to walk to your car after a show? They'll escort you. Drunk dude being weird? They'll take care of it. Need some cheap beer?! They have a bar! The venue itself (left from the door) is spacious and decorated in a way that is not only unique, but makes you wonder about the person(s) behind the decorations. It's just so unique the way everything is put together that I bet the staff is actually pretty chill. Lol. Bathrooms are super tiny and definitely not wheelchair accessible, but the concert room definitely is!

Mahall's is kinda weird to me. I remember it as a place where you had your sixth-grade birthday party, but now it's a hipster paradise. Mahall's is one of my favorite places to hit up a show because if it isn't quite your thing, your evening isn't a bust. The good ol' fashioned bowling alley is pretty affordable for a few rounds. Even gutter ball bowlers like me have a great time. The bar area is nice, nothing to write home about. The staff has always been super friendly with great service.
