It is such a beautiful place with a very interesting history. This is a must do when visiting Milwaukee. Stop in and get a tour of the oldest bowling alley. Try an old fashioned while you are at it too.

Had the BEST time at the Holler house last night. The owners could not have been nicer to us. We were late for our bowling reservation and they welcomed us with open arms, adjusted our time slot and told us great stories about themselves, their family and their bar/bowling alley. The bowling was a blast. After bowling we went upstairs and chatted some more with the owners and left them with hugs and a promise to return. SO FUN!!!

Bowling lanes installed in 1908 but the wood is stamped 1904 when it was purchased. It was warehoused until it could be installed. The lanes get recertified every year. A selection of local bottled beer at the cash only bar. Super friendly owner operator staff. There was a family playing and a group waiting when I visited. Normally closed on Sundays but since there is a bowling tournament on the North side they were open so some folks could play on the historic lanes.

Heard about this place online. Love unique places. This is a small lovely old polish bar with a bowling alle in the basement. But not any bowling alley , the oldest in the country. The owner was fantastic. We walked in and he said want a tour!. He knows everyone that comes in so strangers he welcomes! Love that. Was going to have one beer stayed for 3. Nice people and nice regulars.

Was a great experience! Took our grandkids for a back to school outing and they loved it. 2 lanes in the basement. They have shoes and balls. All old and well used but we were there for the adventure more than the game. The Owner was our pinsetter because the one scheduled didn’t show up. That meant a lot to all of us

The oldest bowling alley in the country sits in the basement. A wonderful Polish tavern at ground level. Worthy of a visit, a couple games, and a couple rounds.

Family ran business, and what a nice family. Me and my friends were treated amazingly by them. They showed us around and explained the history behind their place. It’s the coolest bowling alley I’ve ever been to.
