Bowling alley in Arlon, Belgium

Bowling 81 is a bowling alley located just 20 minutes drive from Luxembourg City centre (exact address being 599 route de Longwy, 6700 Arlon, Belgium). It's very easy to find: it's immediately at the first roundabout after taking exit 32 from the highway between Luxembourg City and Arlon.

We have been there for the first time during the past week-end and we were very happy with the conditions offered:

- non-smoking environment

- 10 modern bowling alleys, with individual tables for each alley so that players can enjoy a discussion over a drink

- music played at a decent volume, so that one can speak with shouting

- cheaper than the bowling alley in Foetz . Practically, for the money paid in Foetz for 2 games, you can play 3 games in Arlon. Full price list available on their website

If we compare the two bowling alleys, the one in Arlon is definitely the winner.

Bowling alley in Foetz, Luxembourg

X-treme Bowling is a bowling alley located just 15 minutes drive from Luxembourg City centre (exact address being 11 rue du Brill in Foetz, Luxembourg).

We have been there several times with some of our friends and here are some of our impressions:

- though is has 20 bowling lanes, it seems pretty crowded on Saturday evenings, when we usually go. Thus, it is strongly recommended that you make reservations in advance

- playing is rather expensive: EUR 6 per person per game during the peak hours of Saturday evening. They have a price list on their website, but our guess is that it is not up-to-date

- drinks are cheap for Luxembourg:
                - Bofferding 50 ml beer: EUR 3.5
                - coffee / tea: EUR 2.0
                - 40 ml whisky / gin / vodka / Campari / Bailey's: EUR 4.0

- you can also have some snacks: hotdog / cheeseburger / small pizza: EUR 3.4

- poor ventilation system: after 2 hours and a half spent there, our clothes were full of cigarette smoke

- the music is played too loud and you have to yell to talk to the persons next to you.

As a conclusion: we are not very happy with the place, but we did not try another bowling alley yet. Hopefully, there are others in Luxembourg better than this one.
