THE ACTIVITIES

What’s in a name?  At Socibowl, the name is everything.  It’s not merely a place to be social and bowl – it’s a place to be sociable.  Socibowl is a big city gathering place with small town charm – both engaging and welcoming. 

This is a place to live life, together.

small beginnings. BIG DREAMS.

The three amigos behind Socibowl (and Pigeon Hill Brewing Company) are all proud Muskegon residents.  When we realized that we all wanted more “to do” downtown, the answer was obvious: Let’s do something about it.

DUCKPIN BOWLING

Socibowl is not just about the food and drinks!  We also feature Muskegon’s only duckpin bowling lanes.  Duckpin Bowling is a variation of ten-pin bowling, where the biggest difference between the two games being the size of the ball and pins used to play. In duckpin bowling, players roll a ball slightly larger than a softball down the alley to knock down the pins.
Or, as we like to say – small balls, BIG FUN!

We always permit walk-in, open play depending on availability.  During busy times, you are welcome to use our on-site kiosk to find an open time.  To ensure lane availability, we strongly recommend making reservations online.

The Press

The only thing I am mad about is my weak Skeeball skills. Everything else was top notch and SO fun! I highly recommend the Croquettes, they are a meal in itself. Beautiful place, and a wonderful addition to downtown Muskegon!

Mistelle S.

Friendly and personable staff that went above and beyond to make our experience the absolutely best it could be. The atmosphere was upbeat, fun, family oriented and exactly what downtown Muskegon needed. I would highly recommend Socibowl for couples, families, team building events, networking events and company outings. Will definitely return!

Colleen G.

When you are as ADHD as I am, it can be tough to go bowling. Too much waiting, too many yawns. With Duckpin Bowling, I'm so engaged that my wife never threatens to smack me for wandering off!

Michael BrowerOwner and Whatnot

When you are as ADHD as my husband, an evening out can be tough - he's running off in a million directions and can't sit still! At Socibowl, there's always something to keep him entertained, which means I can finally enjoy a night out without telling him to sit down and behave!
