Games & Machines
The directory categorizes this venue as a video arcade, which signals a gaming floor built around electronic cabinets and amusement machines alongside the bowling operation referenced in the name. Without a machine inventory in the record, this page does not list specific titles, cabinets, redemption games, or pinball machines. Visitors who want a current rundown should check the venue’s own website or call ahead before making a trip.
Visiting
Chop’s Bowling Alley sits on South 13th Street in south-central Omaha, a busy commercial corridor that is easy to reach from most parts of the metro. The official website, chopsbowl.com, is the most direct way to confirm lane availability and any updates to the gaming floor, and the venue can be reached by phone at +1 402-341-3878 during open hours.
Operating hours follow a steady weekly pattern. The arcade opens Monday from 12 to 4 PM and is closed on Tuesdays. Midweek brings longer sessions, with both Wednesday and Thursday running from 2 to 10 PM. Friday stretches from 2 PM to 12 AM, and Saturday is the longest day, running from 12 PM all the way to 12 AM. Sunday wraps up the week with afternoon-to-evening hours, 12 to 6 PM. The Tuesday closure is the most important planning note, particularly for out-of-town visitors.
Travelers building a larger arcade itinerary through Omaha can pair this stop with Beercade2 for a different take on barcade-style play, or with the Hollywood Pinball & Arcade Museum for an arcade-museum hybrid. Both pages live in the same directory, so it is easy to cross-reference hours and locations while planning. To see every arcade the directory tracks in the region, the arcade finder remains the most comprehensive starting point, and the interactive map is the quickest way to visualize how the venues relate to one another geographically.
