Waveland Bowl

Chicago's bowling alley list runs 27 entries, so start by narrowing to your zip before scrolling the whole thing. Zip 60614 holds 3 alleys, the most of any area, while most other zips carry just one or two. Phone numbers are listed for 22 of the 27, and websites for 23, so most entries give you a way to check hours or call ahead before driving over.

None of these listings are labeled Sponsored, since paid placement for this category hasn't been turned on for Chicago, so what you're scrolling is the directory's default order, not a curated or ranked shortlist. If you manage one of these alleys and the phone field or website link is blank, you can claim the listing and fill in the gap yourself, which counts for more in zips like 60607 or 60613, where only a couple of alleys show up nearby. Call ahead for lane availability and league schedules, since those change often and aren't tracked here.
