Here’s a nice review on Manor Lanes posted on VisitSouth.com by Robert Ferguson.

In it Robert writes:

“Looking for a fun and relaxing activity that’s fun for the whole family? Then check out Manor Lanes Bowling in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.”

“Manor Lanes Bowling is everything you would expect from traditional bowling alley. Other amenities are its well-rounded snack bar and the Sports Den Pub featuring a full liquor bar and a massive 10-foot T.V.”

I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for the review Robert!

Miami New Times released its BEST OF list for 2011 and if ever there was a category created to recognize Manor Bowl it was this one – Best Reason To Go To Broward. Having been to a few of the nightclub lanes in Miami myself I totally agree. I am very happy to live in Broward County and bowl in leagues and for fun at Manor Lanes!

An emblematically obese owner of an awesomely rustic bowling alley in Cleveland, Ohio, once told us: “A true bowler will not go to a martini bar.” He was referring to the yuppie ten-pin establishments that have been popping up in cities all over the country, where the lanes are impossibly glossy, the lights are strobing, and some rapper with Lil before his name is droning over heavy bass. Listen, that’s not America. That’s not even bowling. It’s some bastardized farce of the sport that Rush Limbaugh will be forced to play in Hell. We miss that solemn, old, oak-laned Cleveland temple to the converted 7-10 split. And here in Miami-Dade, the martini bars posing as bowling alleys outnumber the real thing by a count of, oh, six to one. No slight to Coral Gables’ Bird Bowl, a fabulous place, but it’s often overrun by teenagers, with their cell phones and their hair and their dastardly chewing gum. It’s enough to make a true bowler sojourn a county north to Manor Lanes Bowling Center, where the lanes aren’t too waxed, domestic brew comes $8.50 a pitcher, and — we aren’t nearly cruel enough to make this up — on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, unlimited bowling costs $10. Until 2 a.m. There’s no catch. Welcome to America.

I was driving to Manor Lanes the other night for my Wednesday night bowling league when I got a Google Alert on my phone. Someone had posted something about my favorite bowling alley – Manor Lanes Bowling Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL. At the next red light I started reading the article written by Tara Nieuwesteeg and was taken by the way she managed to capture the essence of this fine entertainment establishment.

My friends and I were given a bowling lane near a multiethnic group of teenagers who kept posing for group photos and four burly, furry-faced guys who were taking at least their alcohol consumption seriously, if not their bowling.

Yep, that’s Manor Lanes, something for everyone! If you’re a fan of Manor Lanes and the Sports Den pub you’ll find yourself nodding your head while you read this entertaining article. If you have never been there, you’ll get a real feeling about the place. Either way, you will enjoy the read, but don’t try to do it at a red light!

The Sports Den Pub, part of Manor Lanes Bowling Center, recently received a positive review from the Sun-Sentinel.

“Besides a killer bar and high-octane bowling, Manor Lanes and Sports Den Pub offers something for everyone.”

The article goes on to report In the Biz Mondays and Thursdays, Nascar Sundays and Karaoke Fridays “really turn up the heat”.

“On Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays free poker lights up the scene with a chance to win a free seat every quarter for the WPT (World Poker Tour) or WSOP (World Series of Poker).”

Readers gave Manor Lanes and Sports Den Pub 4 stars!
