About us

The Ballroom Bowl was born from a simple idea: to blend the vibrant nightlife of Downtown Toronto with the timeless fun of bowling. Since opening our first location on John Street, we've grown to include thriving venues in Yorkville and Sankofa Square, we’ve stayed true to our commitment to quality and excellence.

Whether it's using the finest ingredients or delivering top-tier bowling experiences, our focus on service and quality guides everything we do. Each of our venues offers a distinct atmosphere, but what never changes is our world-class food, drinks, and service.

At the heart of The Ballroom Bowl are our Five Pillars: Bowling, Food & Beverage, Sports, Events, and Nightlife — the foundation of our success since we opened in 2010.

What Our Guests are Saying...

  • Letter L on a brown circular background with a starburst icon overlay.

    had a fabulous time. They have light (4lb) balls and ramps for little ones, as well as automatic bumpers which come up for the kids, go back down for the adults. The food and drinks are particularly good and fairly priced. We'll be back... as if I have a choice now that the 5-year old knows about this!
