Bullseyes, coaching, and craft beer — yes, all at the same time.
Whether you're rolling a casual game with the kids, hosting a 30-person league night, or just escaping the work week — Dogwood bowling is built for it. Real food, real beer, real lanes. None of the dusty rental-shoe nonsense.
Dogwood bowling isn't your grandma's bowling alley — there's no fluorescent lighting, no dusty pin retriever, and no dad-rock soundtrack on repeat. We've reimagined the whole experience around hospitality, scratch-kitchen food, and a 80+ tap self-serve beer wall that's a few steps from your lane.
Coached-scoring handles the math so you can focus on the fun. Our staff delivers wings, pizza, brisket — anything off the menu — right to your lane. Groups can mix bowling with axe throwing, arcade, and karaoke (O'Fallon IL only) for a multi-stop night out.
21+ only at all locations — no exceptions, no minors, no negotiating. Closed-toe shoes required. Sign a waiver online before arrival to skip the line.
Digital screens handle every frame so no one's arguing about a 7-10 split.
80+ taps just steps from your lane. Pour what you want, when you want.
Real safety glass, waiver-required, closed-toe shoes mandatory. We take the "fun" in fundamental seriously.
Pair with arcade for our $25/person Social House Showdown team-building experience.
Bullseye bonus rounds, weak-hand throws, speed competitions — built-in entertainment.
Lanes positioned steps from the 80+ tap beer wall. Sip and throw.
Axe throwing sessions run 60-90 minutes with a dedicated coach. Group rates available for parties, bachelorettes, and corporate events.
Our online waiver takes 90 seconds. Sign it before you arrive and skip the line entirely. Required for every thrower, 21+.
It's not all in the arms. The throw starts in your legs, transfers through your core, and releases at the right moment. Coach will teach you — listen to them.
First-time throwers tend to throw high. Aim slightly below the bullseye to compensate for the natural arc. After a few warm-up throws you'll calibrate.
No sandals, no open-toe anything. This is non-negotiable — we'll turn you away at the door. Closed-toe athletic shoes work perfectly.
