The sentence that presents a counterclaim to the claim "The best place to have a birthday party is at a bowling alley" is:

"People who don't like to bowl may not have fun at a bowling alley."

This counterclaim suggests that a bowling alley may not be the best place for everyone, particularly for those who do not enjoy bowling, thereby challenging the original claim.
