Don't let the fact that it's in port authority scare you. It's super nice, good rates and good beers on tap ! Get a beer tower for a better score. ????

Very modern and clean bowling lounge at Port Authority! Deal for $20/person to bowl on Fridays and Saturdays from 11pm to 2am. Don't forget to make a reservation online.

PureWow

OK, we know you haven’t been bowling since your sixth-grade birthday party. But Frames, a hidden spot below Port Authority, has traded pizza and smelly shoes for truffle flatbread and Champagne . Read more

I came here with my cousins for a get 2gether and we had a great time. The first time I came here was for my 23rd bday Nov. 2006 and they were renovating the location.

Caroline Deng

Had a great time with coworkers here. The sliders and chicken empanadas are great, and they have $4 beers at one of the bars for happy hour until 7 PM.

Taj W.

Great place. Even though they say no construction boots, they really don't enforce it. The staff is very lowkey. The female bartender who looks like Vaness Del Rio is a bit on an airhead though.

Matthew Osborne

Fun w crew and drink beer tower was pretty huge! Next time I will go again! Thanks for treat me like peace of mind! I'm highly recommend y'all should go w date for bowling .

Andrew Cerda

The menu is surprisingly healthy, with some solid group options like fruit or veggie plates , hummus plates and even wine served by the bottle.

Mazda

With modern leather seating, flat-screen TV 's, and a state-of-the-art sound system , it's a perfect spot for after-work drinks, corporate events , and private parties.

Wen Seng Lie

Nice atmosphere to sweat with your friends. Their fingerfoods are standard, drinks are ok too. Not too expensive for Manhattan price, and very convenient inside Port Authority

Jonathan Kent

Cool place right by the Port . Good number of lanes , with apps and some drinks to be had. Fun with a group

Ever noticed the hidden bowling alley in Port Authority Bus Terminal? It ran silently from within the terminal for years, but now has an outside entrance after its renovation. Read more

I tried their pull pork and burger sliders . They were pretty good. There Sangria was ok. The settings and music was nice. I would definitely go back.

Big Witt

The all beef sliders are excellent . I normally don't expect blue ribbon food at a bowling alley but they go above the norm

DaRealVick iamvick

Has great furniture and food was on point. Definitely lounge atmosphere. Recommend for anyone.

Great Place to go to afterwork. The best part it stays open really late.

Look Out for Hector. He ALWAYS bowls without shoes and causes trouble. Management hates this man!!

Ilaria

I had fun bowling but the place was a little bit crowed and expensive

Joshua Rosario

Right side - down arrow on the DDR machine is barely working. Play on the left pad.
