Definitely not one of the most 'pleasant' places to go for bowling, I remember it being smoky and dimly lit. I think they've upgraded somewhat since then but if you're looking for a place for the family this probably isn't it. Still, they've been around for a while and they're conveniently located for anyone in Forest Park/River Forest area, and bowling is bowling, so if that's all your looking for then why not?

The Staff was rude and confrontational. I will never go there again.

This is the second year that myself and my friends have bowled at Circle and its a great time. Good restaurants and bars in the area.
