The oldest, sanctioned bowling alley resides here, resides in this very old, southside Milwaukee tavern. The place has deep Polish roots, heralding the once large Pole neighborhoods which were found all over the southside. You'll see signs in Polish including one on top of the men's labeled "chlop" (pronounced kwope) , meaning boy youngster. There are even Polish flags and painted ones in the tavern that do not have the crown above the eagle's head. They are very rare to find these days and actually illegal to fly or display in Poland, as that era of the flag represents the Iron Curtain years Wynn it was a communist country. The bartender owner, a super sweet lady, still sprite and joyful at 71 years old, is super welcoming. The bar has a big liquor section as well as 40 different types of beer, including, Polish ale, Zywiec. Let's not forget the many bras that are dangling from the ceiling, gifted over the years by female patrons probably getting too "drinky" at the bar. It's crown jewel, however it's the two lane, bowling alley which will relies on a hired teen, pin setter. Many a legendary professional bowler have tourneyed here including Earl Anthony. Many a famous celebrity have also come here to bowl inclyding, Larry the Cable Guy and Jack White. My buddy and I got too meet Cypress Hill when we were there. B Real and crew happen to be bowling enthusiasts.

To say that my husband and I were treated like royalty when we visited Holler House would be a complete understatement. I surprised my husband with a trip to Milwaukee for our 10 year anniversary for one reason and one reason only, to visit this gem of a place! Tom made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in the door. I loved the history, I loved the hospitality, I loved the bowling. The only part I hated was having to leave.

Had the BEST time at the Holler house last night. The owners could not have been nicer to us. We were late for our bowling reservation and they welcomed us with open arms, adjusted our time slot and told us great stories about themselves, their family and their bar/bowling alley. The bowling was a blast. After bowling we went upstairs and chatted some more with the owners and left them with hugs and a promise to return. SO FUN!!!
