For over four decades, Montvale Lanes has been the heartbeat of Friday nights and family weekends in northern Bergen County. Step through the doors and the scent of buttered popcorn and polished lanes wraps around you like a warm hug from the 1970s. Wood-paneled walls, vintage neon signs, and the satisfying crack of pins create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and completely alive. Whether you’re rolling strikes with coworkers, celebrating a birthday, or catching the game at our full-service lounge, the energy stays high and the welcome stays genuine. Locals know the bartenders by name, league bowlers defend their territory every Tuesday, and first-timers quickly become regulars. Montvale Lanes isn’t just a bowling alley—it’s where Montvale comes to play, laugh, and make memories that last longer than any perfect game.

What We Offer

Twelve meticulously maintained lanes keep every roll smooth and every spare within reach. Our full-service lounge pours local drafts alongside classic cocktails while big-screen TVs keep the sports action rolling. Hungry? Our kitchen serves up juicy burgers, loaded nachos, and piping-hot pizza by the slice or pie. Reserve a private lane or book the entire back half for birthdays, corporate outings, and bachelor parties. Cosmic bowling transforms the alley every Friday and Saturday night with black lights, music, and glowing pins. League nights run year-round for serious competitors and social bowlers alike, and we offer shoe rentals, bumpers for kids, and easy online reservations so the good times start the second you walk in.

"I recently had the pleasure of visiting Montvale Lanes and I can confidently say it was an excellent experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed for a great time. It was pleasantly uncrowded, allowing us to enjoy our games without feeling rushed or cramped.

"This place gives you the old school bowling alley experience. Number one it feels like it was decorated in the 1970s, and I love it. Number two the prices are reasonable. You feel like you can go and have a great time without worrying about how much each game cost. It felt very fair for all. They have plenty of balls available in various weights and finger hole sizes. The bowling equipment itself is well maintained and fully operational. The TV screens have fun graphics. The bar is a classic and the people are great. One of my favorite places to bowl. I'd also add it is kid-friendly."

"In a world of multi-level arcade/bowling alley/arcade super-plexes....we all need an affordable, hospitable and calm place like Montvale Lanes. Reminds me of going out to do anything 15-20 years ago (as a kid) when life was affordable and the possibilities seemed endless. Thank you Montvale Lanes for not fixing what ain't broke. 5 stars."

"Me and my dad just got new bowling balls for Christmas and tried them out yesterday. The ball returner scratched up both of our balls and 4 other ones. We've been to these lanes countless times before and never had this kind of issues. Also the balls kept getting stuck in the back and would not return back. We had to go at least 5 times to the front desk to ask for them to go back and retrieve our ball. We now have to spend hundreds our dollars to get the scuff marks and scratches out of the ball. We will never go there again."
