- Exploring An Abandoned Bowling Alley *With: Among The Unknown*. Enjoy a look a look around this vintage Bowling alley that closed in 2019 due to a chemical fire in the building next door. The building was up for auction/sale in 2018 but never sold. It's a shame how badly it deteriorated in just 3 years.
We were joined by our friend at Among The Unknown who gave us the tour of this giant building. To check out their video click the link here:

That’s just sad. I used to spend a lot of time there when I was a kid and my mom and grandma were in a league there. It was always a dump, but it had memories!
Where is this located? Would be nice to salvage some of the equipment.
Wallie, this place was in the movie “Kingpin”. It was one of the earlier scenes, where they hustled the “priest” and they stuck Roy’s hand in the ball return.
That was too funny when Kayla threw the ball down the lane; it sounded like looney toons with the glass breaking sound etc. lol
Illegal
Was definitely fun exploring with you guys! Glad you liked the place, hope to explore again sometime!
PS: I hate how bored I looked in the intro/outro, that was completely unintentional! These darn masks!
Dumb as a ton of bricks police are investigating
It was originally built to house Beaver Valley Brewing Co., and Beaver Valley Bowl has occupied the space since 1950. Hollywood movies “Kingpin” and “Wonder Boys” also have been filmed there. Beaver Valley Brewing Co opened in 1904 and closed in 1910. It produced about 150,000 barrels a year.
I was down there one of the evenings hanging out at the Cue & Cushion Pool Hall when they were filming scenes for the movie "Kingpin"
There was at one time a brewery talking about moving some years ago and renovating the building but it never went thru.
Unfortunately I think it will see the wrecking ball just like the old Oriental Theatre did 😔😔
So much vintage stuff in the bowling alley and some older lanes on another floor holy crap. That CD machine on the top floor wow, definitely reminds me of when i grew up going bowling with family and friends thanks for taking us along man i appreciate it.
I suspect that some of those old TVs are actually monitors for the scoring system
Omg dude you know I am a filming locations fuhREAK! I am gonna watch this 100x and analyze the hell out of it for Kingpin props lol!!!!
Haha I figured you'd enjoy this because of Kingpin! Lol! Hope all is well with you and Marion seeing your post about Goliath. Hopefully whatever is wrong isn't too serious.
Place was also filmed in the 2000s movie, Wonder Boys as well which has Michael Douglas & Robert Downey Jr.
It looks like this bowling alley has been here for years, and years and years! It's a cool find, though! ❤😘👍 This brings back memories when I used to go to my local bowling alley! I was on a bowling league at the time, which was a few years ago! I have always loved to bowl! 😀 I am enjoying your video right now! Thank you so much!
I always had a fascination with abandoned places. I always wanted to do what Wallie did. Explore these fascinating places of a bygone era. Wow. My mom died in 2016 and this always reminded me of us going Bowling. Great video, Wallie!
This was an awesome video!😀 I can how this was a hopping place back in the day! I always enjoy your videos!
Great video thanks for sharing. Looks like you guys had some fun. Ha e a great weekend.
You said not much was interesting in the bathroom but actually at 30:16 in the restroom that is a rare female urinal called the Sanistand, manufactured by American Standard in the 1960s through the early 70s. They were installed here and there but never caught on and most were removed in favor of regular toilets in women's restrooms. A few, such as that one, survive.
Those are wood lanes in the older alley you can tell by the look
Thanks for sharing this one Wallie It was awesome to see a abandoned Bowling alley thanks again buddy.
That's wild how much it deteriorated in just a couple years. Great footage as usual, and y'all had a lot of fun! Awesome video!
such an awesome video and location! i work at two bowling alleys in scranton, pennsylvania so this was really interesting to see an abandoned one!
Great vid Wallie. Hate to see places like that (old bowling alleys, old roller skating rinks, public pools, etc.) go out of business and just fall apart. The roof and other parts of this place must have been really bad to begin with for it to go that bad that quick. Sad to see.
I saw atu's video on this place and couldn't wait to see your take on this place. What an awesome location
Even though we were both a little late to the party on exploring this place (while it was getting hugely shared around on Facebook), it was crazy to see the amount of stuff STILL left over.
I love everything what you posted! You and Kayla rock!!!
1:38 That was sad for me to see, love my S10's, I currently have a 02 S10 ZQ8 and I love it. Great video too. That place seems like it would be quite the maze.
Excited for this!!!
I don't under stand why people damage abounded Buildings
Nothing else better to do. Probably low life kids/teens
Yeah
Let alone go in knowing its illegal and the police already know
Great video Wallie and team! One of your top ten for sure, awesome!👍
Let alone one of their most illegal with the police knowing and investigating
Dude, that Motiv QZ2. Got one, such a killer ball for league shots. Too bad you can't take them and get them cleaned up and refinished. A sad end, but I'm sure the owners had some great games with them.
Loved the video, the commentary and the usual muck around. Such a cool location. Cheers! 😁
This looks like it was a really cool place to explore.
Many memories in this place from shooting pool with jodie working to bowling there and the many after hours poker games in the bar area til late with everyone. Great times sad to see the building couldn’t be somehow saved it has been too far gone. Aside from kingpin the wonder boys also used the building in the film
It would interesting to see what it looked like when it originally closed down.
Beaver Valley Bowl, Rochester pool hall &
The Cellar Dwellers Improv
that place is probably haunted, probably some of the other places u have been to, Great video mann :) Vintage place
I think that this was my most fascinating favorite video that you’ve done and that #orb was so wild what an interesting place I would’ve loved to explore that with you guys😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀❤️
YO! I CANNOT WAIT TO COLLABORATE WITH YOU THIS COLLAB IS AWESOME!!!
Good luck its illegal just know the police know your have
Kingpin!!! Great movie!!!
Awesome place!
What a shame. This place is huge! it looked like one big gigantic maze, one flight of stairs after another and one room after another. Unfortunately there's no saving this place. These old buildings are pretty much a lost cause once the roof starts to leak without getting repaired.
I definitely enjoyed watching this video! I wish that I could've been with you during the exploration! Honestly, Wallie, I would like to go on an exploration with you someday. Have a KMartlicious Day!
Damn it,Alan! Please take me with you. Love abandoned places.
Why was the screen blackened? Xxx? 😂😂
Awesome video
This place looks crazy! We should meet up sometime. Love your content!
Awesome video bro. We need to go cosmic bowling
The fact this place has only been closed for 2 years is the craziest part
That place looked awesome would be cool to see it when it was up and running
This is a great video it was really cool
This was an interesting video about the abandoned bowling alley but man that place was trashed I've never seen such destruction
What a cool place
This bowling alley is amazing. I have been to all of these floors when it was open. This place was a dump when it was open. Now it’s 1000 times worse. Brings back memories in college at the pool hall
worse
@@ericcampbell2330 thanks. I know how to spell. Hard when your phone puts the wrong usage of the word. Thanks for being the grammar police✌🏻
Spent most nights after highschool in that pool hall . 2014-2018 . Wasnt that bad wow
Fun video! Amazing that this fell apart so quickly... kind of the opposite of that motel a couple of weeks ago. And what was Kayla's Best Buy story...?
Best video ever created
Thanks!
This is cool
The roleplays at 26:25 on were great
Wallie. Have you ever been to one of the few Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips? We had one in Hagerstown Md yesrs ago. Great food.
I did not realize the Bowling Alley had shut down. I remember the night fire down there happened. Everyone in a 5 mile radius was ordered to shelter in.
There was a chemical cloud in the area for awhile and it took over a day to put out the fire.
I used to hang out up at the Cue & Cushion pool hall above the Bowling Alley and was friends with the people that ran it.
That place was huge
See wallie u need to go exploring too once in a wile..it's fun
All I can say is, WOW! Your coverage of this place is a gem of an urban exploration like none other. Crazy thing is I was just home 2 months ago and didn't even know it had closed! I spent some time a this bowling alley in my youth, and I can tell you, t
he whole establishment was literally stuck in 1950. The decor, the fixtures- you harkened back to a bygone era when you stepped into this bowling alley. You just know you're in a relic of the past when you spot a sani-stand in a women's restroom 😮.
I can't honestly say I was fond of this place when my dad took me bowling here as a kid, however. The person who commented that it was a rat hole even when open and operating is exactly right. It was a dilapidated, decrepit and filthy place. I recall wondering how it continued to pass health inspection for so many years! I hate to speak negatively of a somewhere that's home to many a pastime of prior generations, but this place was pretty gross 🤢 and those steep stairs leading up to the lanes were a lawsuit waiting to happen! Take a spill on those steps and it'll be a bad day :((
Either way, I hope I get a chance to see it in person before the wrecking ball finds it!
I was scared this might be Arsenol Lanes in Pittsburgh for a second, the coolest bowling alley ever. I actually looked them up mid-video to make sure it wasn't, it would have broken my hart if it was (and sad to see a bowling alley in this condition). There's a 50s era bowling alley by where I live in upstate NY that closed about a month ago because of a fire, they're hoping to rebuild. I got a tour from the manager when he saw me filming the place and he was cool with it. Hopefully I can film the inside after some of the chemicals are cleaned out (I put my mask on as soon as I got there when I smelled the chemicals from outside, probably a good thing I had it).
I've recorded a banded bowling alley. It was the capital one that got hit by the tornado in Jefferson City
We use to have a fan exactly like that one lol
It would be interesting to see what it looked like when it originally closed.
"Hey niko! Let's go bowling" -Roman gta IV
So sad looking. I bet that was a great hangout at one time. And I can remember, my classrooms had the saaaaaame lights! 😟😟😟😟
Shame to see this place this way, I bowled many many games there. Their pro shop was the best in the area, I wonder if the case of drill spec cards still remains. They used to keep all the specs of a customers drilled ball on note cards in a dewi-decimal system type of cabinet, would love to get in there and see if mine and my dad's drill cards are still in there.
Sad to see this
Reminds me of the beaver valley bowling alley from Kingpin
It is the same place
His bowling alley had everything something for everyone
You really should get a regular good respirator when in moldy places, that “dust mask” you use serves no purpose with mold and other things, it doesn’t stop anything but big dust particles, especially when not used right with only one band around head.
Mild spores are no joke, same with asbestos which you can’t smell or see but is in most all older buildings
It hurts to see an abandoned bowling center (I bowl and work in a center in CO)...
About 5:20 or a little after I spotted a black Johnny Petraglia LT-48 ball in a box; the original version was out in about 1982 or 1983 which I have one myself, then it came out again in the 2000’s (I think).
About the trophies-it’s nothing that unusual to see a lot of old trophies, as many times they are recycled for junior leagues (under age 21) or even other leagues. It’s cheaper to recycle them-all that may need to be changed is the figurine or more likely the plate that shows the achievement (First Place, High Averages, etc.).
I had the green plastic version.. a Tommy Hudson LT 48 that came out in 1976-77 as a companion to the rubber Johnny Petraglia LT 48 pictured here. They came out earlier than you thought. I rolled my first 300 with that Tommy Hudson LT 48 in 1977.
Oh my Wally you got company it's a ghost that's how I heard ghost appear on cameras
There was a bowling alley in chalmette named garden bowl it had a bar and a nursery in it
What you doing advertising AMF in a brunswick house sir? Joking. I do like that shirt. I was an AMF mechanic for many years.
It’s a bowling ramp. I use one for special Olympics bowling.
This abandoned bowling alley would be an awesome place for Us walking Dead shoot
Such a shame to see the place so badly decayed and trashed
we were beaver valley bowling alley i think 6/28/19 cuz it was hot night, my friend and i live in rochester, pa__we were ghosthunting there behind the building that caught on fire about 2- 3 weeks before fire on a friday night and got a photo of a ghost back there, but then we reviewed the photos in the car before we left, they were mysteriously erased
I would take the Christmas tree
Our bowling alley has been closed since the pandemic. The place is older than I am and I'm sixty.
Tap me of those billiard tables look to be in pretty good shape. Probably just need some new cloth & cleaned up a bit. I’d love to have one of those. They probably weigh about 1000 lbs each.
2:21 did your stomach really rumble lol
Yes. I was pretty hungry. Haha
@@WallieB26maybe you should put that in one of your blooper reels. Because it’s a very common blooper that happens in a lot of the youtuber’s videos.
Normally you can’t even step across the line going to the alley, that’s considered a foul in boxing, and gives you zero points. But wow though.
There's been a couple of videos posted in the last few months of beaver Valley bowl and it has been destroyed and deteriorated so rapidly compared to this video
"Bigd-**BOING**"
Where is this place this just breaks my heart
This bowling alley was in the movie king pin with woody
amazing video, what a waste of stuff
What City and State do you know by any chance where this abandoned bowling alley is located?
It’s in Rochester Pennsylvania, about 5 minutes away from Monaca.
i played pool there a couple of times
I'm surprised no one took all that soda with all the vandalism going on in there. The place looked as if it was like that for a decade with all that deterioration. Unless the roof got hit by a major storm accelerating that abandoned moldy look.
we live in rochester, pa and go ghosthunting there all the time, we went ghosthunting inside one time years ago, anyway it is very haunted and we were there about 2ish weeks before the fire and go a ghost photo, it is sad, because of the contamination, they were trying to sell the building to build condos, before the fire happened, these are historical buildings and there was a security guard and the EPA cleaning the site for at least 6 months, we talked to the security guard once night when 3 of us went ghosthunting, lots of shadow people at that site
Illegal to go there police know your name
I think what you mean is bumper bowling for the kids.
I think that this place likely has not run for a long time by the level of damage.
next time ur in TX Visit Sunset Lanes
So sad to see my mom love to bowl
Saabkyle04 would've taken that S10
you have to get shots to go in that place.
Thus looks like a tornado hit it
i live here in BC this is like 5 minutes from my house lol
So what the name of this bowling alley so I can look up its history. I use to be a pin sitter in the 70's hate to see how poeple let things go like this
Beaver valley bowl
WOO! 11,000 VIEWS. Jeez!!
I just revisited. It's in significantly worse shape. The first floor had all the walls knocked down so everything is exposed.. The bowling alley has graffiti and smashed glass everywhere. I think the building still has power though
The police also have your name
@@jakestillwater7152 The fact you created your account today is promising
Lord, would I have loved to see Gear Shots do a review of those restrooms when this place was still open! I can hear him dooling out the rating: negative 275 old dirty toilet brushes out of a possible 10 liquid soap dispensers!
why is all that stuff left behind. wouldnt you think people would take it when it closed.
