About

Mark Iverson and Gary Secrest bought Diversey River Bowl in 1986, neither having much experience in the bowling industry. But what they lacked in experience, they more than made up for in their love of bowling. After over 35 years of hard work, DRB continues to be a mainstay in the Chicago bowling scene and creates a vibrant & dynamic energy unlike any other bowling center.

In 2007, Diversey River Bowl expanded into the restaurant business and has since been committed to exceeding customers' expectations. From wraps and burgers to homemade pizzas, we use our own recipes and only the freshest ingredients, constantly adding new menu items to complement our fan-favorite classics. Whether you dine in or order online, we guarantee that you will love whatever you get.

And for those who want more than just a meal, we have two full-service bars boasting 12 draft beers served by the pint, pitcher, or even a 100oz beer tube; we also offer an extensive wine list and a wide selection of craft and domestic bottled beers, ciders & seltzers.

Whether you're looking to host a corporate team-building event, celebrate a child's birthday, or simply spend time with friends and coworkers, Diversey River Bowl is the perfect venue. With a range of leagues throughout the year – both competitive and casual – as well as open play bowling available every day of the week, there's something for everyone. We pride ourselves on providing a memorable and enjoyable experience for all our guests.
