Oil Bowl Lanes

Oil Bowl Lanes has been family-owned and operated since 2004, and it is Longview's bowling and entertainment hub at 1102 W Cotton St. There are 20-plus lanes running weekday league play for everyone from first-timers to serious competitors, plus weekend open bowling where walk-ins are welcome with no reservation needed. They host tournaments year-round in singles, doubles and team divisions, including the annual Oil Bowl Tournaments and Junior Olympic competitions that draw bowlers from across Texas. Cosmic bowling runs Friday and Saturday nights. There is more under the roof than lanes. The Champions Lounge is their sports bar with full bar service, arcade games, darts and Rustic Axe throwing, which can be added onto any party. They do kids birthday packages with bowling, pizza, drinks and arcade play, plus adult parties and corporate events with catering and bar service. Regulars watch for Monday Madness pricing after 7 p.m. and Sunday's Beat the Clock deal, where the earlier you start the cheaper the game.
