Dave's Lanes

Dave's Lanes is a bowling alley in Hartford, WI. The alley sits on the north end of downtown Hartford along N. Main Street, just past the railroad tracks, and offers open bowling along with league play. Visitors can order from a food menu that includes locally made Leroy Meats pizzas, soft pretzels with cheese, nachos, garlic cheese bread, chips, and candy bars, and choose from eleven beers on tap as well as additional bottle and can selections. The alley also hosts private parties for groups of eight or more, and inquiries can be made by phone or through the events page. Dave's Lanes holds a rating of 4.80 based on customer reviews.

The alley was built in 1946 by Dave and Evelyn Ritger and operated as a family business with their four sons, Dick, Robert (Bobby), Dave Jr. (Butch), and John. Bobby and his wife Judy purchased the business in 1964 and ran it until 1983, when they sold it to their son Jeff and Bobby's brother John. In January of 2019, Jeff passed away, and on January 12, 2022, after 75 years in the Ritger family, John sold Dave's Lanes to its current owners, Mike Krusing and Dan Quill. Both grew up in the Hubertus area, attended Hartford Union High School, and bowled in various leagues at Dave's Lanes for 25 years before taking ownership.

The alley's location on N. Main Street places it within a short walk of the Rubicon River, the Hartford Police Department, Hartford City Hall, the Hartford Post Office, and the Hartford Fire Department. Mike and Dan have stated that they intend to maintain the traditions and culture that have defined Dave's Lanes for decades.
