First time at Baldwin Bowl for our Family night out last month. The cover charge included the shoe rental and 2 hours of bowling. the DJ was great, made it a good night. The finger food was great, too. Flavorful and savory. We had the nachos, fries and wings. I'm sure we would be back again for more family time. Plenty of parking in their parking lot and theres also street parking.
Amazing time! Planned my birthday for about 16 people and everyone had an amazing time. George was at the front there was a little discrepancy but he handled it very well for me. Security was so professional and nice. Spoke to everyone with respect, the team that handled our names and our food was great! Such an amazing turn out! I wish I remembered everyone name but it was such an amazing time and my friends enjoyed the food! They said the Parmesan fries were amazing! Thank you again for such a great nigh
WORST SPOT EVER. RIP OFF. DONT ORDER THE FISH BOWL ITS MISLEADING. THE BARTENDER HAS A NASTY ATTITUDE WHEN YOU INQUIRE ABOUT THE DRINK. THE STAFF ACTS MAD LOUSY. This IS THE FISHBOWL, mind you I haven't drank none. Why am I paying 60$ FOR THIS & ITS HALF FULL ?!?!?!
The staff was super friendly. It's usually more crowded than this I'm told so my 1st experience was welcoming not having to rub shoulders on left & right!! Drinks were nice but overpriced ( not a fan). The vibe of a dj and dance did it for me allowing a more comfortable experience. I also loved being buzzed for my beV s amd not having to wait in line after ordering. The machine to order food malfunctioned all nite in the 5th lane, that sucked. But most importantly I went to the bathroom and it was decent an
This is not the same Baldwin Bowl I grew up going to. This used to be a family-friendly establishment, now it's so trashy. The food is overpriced, and the staff are rude; they need a crash course in customer service, especially that one guy working at the bar (you know who you are) ??. I was shocked when I saw security at the door like it is a club in the city. Is that really necessary? I don't know if they changed management, but they either need to change it back to the way it was or shut it down. The o
The staff was very rude and unfriendly. They were blasting nasty music. Since we are a family and were the only customers there, we asked them to either shut it off, or at least lower it to a reasonable decibel. They refused. If that wasn't enough, we paid for 2 hours of bowling and only got 1 hour and 25 minutes of time. Our screens shut off without warning. The staff said they put into the computer that we paid for 2 games. After telling them how much we paid and that we had bowled two and a half games al
Fun for groups. We went here recently for a work outing and if you book ahead for a large enough group it's entertaining. Huge Parking lot. The drinks were awesome and love the environment. The shoes were good, I'd wear them around the house to be honest. We just voted to do our Holiday party here because of the great turnout.
Moe was terrific! He presented excellent service and me and my homegirls enjoyed every moment at the bar!
If your coming here just to bowl , great place music is a vibe. Went here last night and I wanted to try to Henny fishbowl , first off its over priced and they don't fill it up and it does not come with the stuff that's in the picture, no dry ice , no duck, no nothing just a watery ass fishbowl. As far as food and drinks goes, over priced and you defiantly don't get what you pay for.
I'm not sure why people are giving this place a five star rating. This was the worst bowling alley I've ever been to. Please do not waste your money going to this place. It's outdated, trashy, dirty, the ceiling was leaking, and the food and drink are way overpriced. The staff does not make it better. Do not purchase this deal on Groupon!!!
My church had an event here today, the best part of the event was the customer service be received from Naya,Dena & Kyla! These three ladies were helpful and positive in the midst of all of the chaos! Thanks Ladies!
Horrible. Drinks overpriced 38 for double shot of patron. I asked for patron with lime they didn't have lime so I requested small amount of lime juice it was too sour. Marie refused to accommodate me. I had to buy another $38 drink and it doesn't taste like patron. Thumbs Down
Atrocious! When I walked in the alley, it felt like I walked into a Friday night club! Lights were off, making it very dark and music was way too loud! And there was only two other families present! So why do all this? But at the end of the day, I came here to bowl, so who cares about my surroundings.. oh boy was I in for a treat! The lanes or at least the lane I was using, definitely hadn't been oiled in a year. My balls would start on the right hand side and no matter how much force and power I put into
Got a great voucher from Clipp for 2hrs unlimited/free shoe rental for 4. Showed up with my friends around 1PM yesterday (a Sunday - all prime time to bowl), attempted to go in through the back and front, and it was entirely closed even though Google and their official page stated they'd be open. My friend called the office who said they should be open and that they'd call back but never did. Ended up getting the same deal from Groupon and a great time at a different bowling alley in Garden City!
Unprofessional staff. Before, heading out to the location, I called Baldwin Bowl & Lounge in advanced about hookah hours and the young lady informed the consumers the hours of the hookah hours being Thursday, Friday & Saturdays. We arrived at the location from another borough. We was told the hookah hours was not the following hours given. Venue is pleasant but communication skills was very misinformed. Please review over your staff.
Took both my boyzzz!!! Had a blast! Staff was super helpful & loved the vibes :))) Def. coming back sooooon
I'm not sure where the 5-star reviews come from. The place is a mediocre bowling alley. It could greatly benefit from a good deep cleaning and basic repairs. One person in our party almost tripped over the loose base of the electronic kiosk. The staff is friendly and the large TV screens are pretty nice. The place is littered with slabs of wood, old stuffed animals, unused speakers and audio equipment, amongst other junk--most of the issues could be resolved by doing a good cleaning and calling 1-800-G
One simple word Racism. Out of maybe 3 families in the place we were looked on the waiter decided to come take our food from us yelling Are you done when she clearly sees the food still in the containers. Like are you blind??? we didn't even finish eating the place is nice but the employees racism at its finest. I wouldn't be going back.
Great vibes, great drinks, great service, and a blast on the lanes. Big props to the staff and the service on point. Highly recommended and def having my next party here !!!
Terrible experience on the Sunday before veteran's day. We had to move lanes 3 different times because of issues. There was only one guy working when the place got busy on a holiday weekend which is crazy. No food or drinks available because of that. I can't blame the young man that was there working by himself. A young black guy who did his best. He ended up giving us our money back. I'm sorry I didn't get his name. Never going back there.
The whole experience was disappointing. First, the check in process. I've never been to a bowling place where I had to leave one of my shoes behind in exchange for the bowling shoes. But that was a minor nuisance and there must be a reason to that policy. Second, the food and drinks are a joke and completely overpriced. Third, our pins wouldn't come back down and I had to ask two people to get that resolved which still took a while. Just the place itself is not comparable to other bowling places. Everyone i
So, they "renovated" and everything still looks like 100 yrs old. The floor is broken, the counter is all cracker, the seats are sticky! At noon, there is no one behind d the snack counter.... but that's ok, there weren't any snacks to buy. The popcorn looked like a yr old. The shoes were old and decrepit. Why can't Baldwin just have a nice bowling alley like Rockville Center? Ugh!
Just don't come here? it's not worth it. We waited 40 minutes for a hookah, and 20 for beers. $50 for a beer pitcher is insane too. Our lane for bowling was also messing up the whole time. Please don't come here.
We stopped by the place and it was very dark we almost thought they were closed. Then we saw movement at the bar. No one bowling only drinking everyone crowded around the bar. Not a great scene.
Family had a good time celebrating a birthday. Staff is great, music was good. We ate before coming, so I can't comment on the food. Establishment needs some upgrades. I hope people to come here, so they can make this happen. The community will benefit from place like this staying open for our families to have somewhere safe to go to have a good time.
The atmosphere is amazing I had the best time my kids love it there. I go almost every weekend. They got everything you want perfect spot.
I purchased a Groupon for 2 hrs of bowling for 2 reasons. 1- i wanted to check out different bowling alley & 2- to take my mom bowling. It was her first time EVER. I was more sad/upset for my mom. I had intentions of creating a good experience for her. This was on a Saturday afternoon. I called the place to see if i needed to make a reservation. I was told no & to ?just come on over.? Drove 56 minutes to get there & upon arrival i thought i was in the wrong place because the name was different than what my
Definitely have to come check them out super lit great music food and drinks
The only thing somewhat annoying about this place is that the lane kept needing a reboot so we had to keep going to the customer service over and over. And the soda was super flat. The music was lit and we had mad space even playing alongside others not part of our party. It wasn't terrible.
Please come here every Thursdayyyyy, bow is the best
I had a fun night here with a few friends for my birthday. The DJ was playing good lively modern dancehall and rap music. The the drinks were a little expensive, even tho my Hennessey sour was on point! But the $30 for two hours of bowling was worth it.
Mor was amazing!!!! he was very kind, very respectful and helpful! Everytime that I come I will always look for him!
You have to come here Moe is the best!
Group of 4. Changed 3 lanes because none worked. Took 30 minutes to get a redund as no manager was on site. No Chef/Cook was on-site. Took food orders but no one there to prepare the food for an hour. Veryyyyy weird place.
10/10 experience! Naya the bartender was very nice and Hope was very helpful. Great Dj and atmosphere, food was good especially the wings. It's the best here on the weekend especially a Thursday.
First and last time there, definitely wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone I know. Been on the island for a little over a year and and I've been telling myself I have to go to Baldwin bowl for the reggae event on Thursdays. Long story short, didn't make it on a Thursday but ended up going this past Friday. After a certain time, there is an automatic $30 charge that includes shoe rental and two hrs. of bowling The drinks are OVERPRICED ($18 for a mixed drink), the bowling graphics, lanes, balls
Great place and the dj had a great playlist.
I have been to Baldwin bowl more than a few times. It's always a good time. Fun vibe at night + good drinks! Shout out to the event staff who made my son?s party great!
I booked a reservation a week ahead of time in order to have lanes reserved for my party of 15 and also paid in full in advanced. Upon arrival, I was asked for a physical card, due to the facility receiving chargebacks from guests, which I understand. I proceeded to take cash out and pay cash for my party, with the understanding that I would receive a refund on my card, since I did not have the physical card. It has now been 2 weeks and I have constantly been contacting the facility with no answer or no man
Pure vibes. Definitely come on Thursday. Tunes, good drinks, and food ! Check them out!
Great family fun and very friendly and accommodating staff. Will definitely come again
Had an Appreciation Event. It was awesome! The food was great and the Margaritas were incredible! A lot of fun! The lanes were fine. Our Sales Manager Brenda was very accommodating. We highly recommend!
Went to this bowling alley for my cousin bday party. First the parking lot just people hanging out doesnt feel that safe .Also I noticed that the anont off people looked and felt over packed its more like a little teenager club!! My clothes smelt like marijuana about time I left . And if u ACTUALLY want to play pool I advice u go there EXTREMELY early or to another pool hall. I also am very concerned being that my daughter who was going here on Thursday was being charged $25 dollors just to get in not to pl
Vibes, food & drinks 10/10 highly recommend
This place is definitely a chill spot, $30.00 bowl for two hours....the music and drinks give you the club vibe.....
They should just close during renovation or at least offer discounts since it looks bad in there. Lots of areas blocked off; balls are in desperate need of upgrade; floor was kinda slippery; shoes are ughhhh; in women's bathroom there's a loud, dusty open ceiling (exhaust ???????) fan that makes you nervous about it just dropping out the ceiling on you; there was no soap in the bathroom and hand dryer blowing dust/lint off the walls onto your hands and water was cold; $25 for unlimited 2 hours is pricey sin
Good vibes good drinks musics on point
Hope and Niya are Amazing, Great customer service and tasty drinks as well. Staff very personable and helpful.
Recently had the opportunity to take my four kids and their friends during the day for a pizza and bowling experience. I got to say the staff was amazing and very helpful. They had plenty of equipment all in great condition very easy for everybody to find and well organized. Such a cool vibe with all the lights and music going on. Recommended prices are reasonable as well
Best place to go with friends for a great time. Drinks are on point, appetizers are crispy. Best bet- get your group a bottle and enjoy the vibes. Music is great. Fog machine is sometimes on too long but luckily the pins are colored.
This bowling alley was exactly what i needed for my friend birthday!! Drinks amazing, hookah amazing. Very good prices! I will definitely be returning. Mo made my experience even better!! I highly recommend. Kid friendly as well! Make your way here!
Waited on the phone on hold for over 25 minutes, I went inside and this place was not what it appeared online. The staff is rude, I ended up leaving. Make your own opinion but this was mine.
Had a great time there for my sons birthday party. Food,staff, and music was on point. Highly recommended will be back!
This isn't a real bowling alley. If you're an actual bowler DO NOT COME. It's a waste of time. There's no oil on the lanes. They are not maintained. Equipment from 1980s. Left after 7 frames.
It was okay. We probably went too early because as we were leaving that's when people started coming. For food we ordered sweet chili wings and fries. Was good chicken was really crispy as well as the fries . Sauce comes on the side not on the chicken lol
Took my princess for a day of fun for her spring break. Food was very good. She had a blast.
Thank you Brenda and her team for providing us with a great birthday party for our son this past weekend. Everything was sanitized, all guests had their temperature taken. Proper precautious were taken so we can all have a great time. Food was great as well as the drinks. All within reasonable price. Staffs were professionals and always serving with a "Smile". Giants TV screens were awesome as we were able to watch the football games. The music atmosphere set the tone to enjoy the afternoon. Will com
The pin machine thats suppose to lift up your pins is broken in some of the lanes. And I kept coming to them complaining. When I asked to speak to their manager, they said their manager, wasn't there and to leave them my number like I'm slow enough to believe I'll get a call back . A month later still no call back which I expected .
I hosted a library program at Ultra Lanes Baldwin from 3-5 PM on a Wednesday. For 25 teens we had lanes 17-24. The staff were very friendly and got everyone set up. Whenever a teen needed help with a ball or the bumpers, they came right over. We also ordered pizza and drinks. The pizza came on time and I got to pick four different drink options for the kids including soda, fruit punch and pink lemonade. The parents kept coming up to me saying how nice the program was and the kids had a great time.
A waste of time and waste of money!!! I wanted to go out with some friends for a good time so we decided to go here. At the door they only take cash which is so inconvenient considering all the different options for payment most places have in 2024. BUT guess what ? They offer a ATM on site with a $5 fee!!!! What the hell! I've literally never seen a $5 ATM fee before. I should have left at that point. By the way? it's $30 at the door for 2hrs of bowling. (I'm pretty sure they only take cash to avoid taxes)
The best drinks everrrrr!!!! Great customer service good vibes definitely coming back. The manager is great very warm and welcoming. Definitely a vibe there!!!!
Great atmosphere! Not too crowded. Good prices and drinks! We'll be back!
Mo behind the bar is literally the best. I met the one of the owners on my birthday September 28th but I can't remember his name, he was really nice. The place wasn't as packed like usual because of the weather but I was the life of the party and I really enjoyed myself every time I go, been goin on my birthday for 3 years and I love it there
Out the way spot, very clean .The bowling balls don't cut up your fingers. They lady at the front desk is very nice and inviting. The only negative I have is, it be chilly in there so dress appropriately.
I took my son and nephew here and had a blast! Great atmosphere, and arcade. I did ask the lady to switch the music to something more kid friendly and she refused, plus gave me a nasty attitude. I also asked for bumpers on the lane and instead she rolled her eyes at me, I believe her name was Monica. Great experience all in all but friendlier staff is needed!! Also the food was amazing!
I had a great time here on several occasions. It's an all around great establishment for dates, family and friend gatherings. Customer service was amazing and attentive. Drinks were on point. The bartender is also easy on the eyes so that helps. The DJ is known for playing some bangers as well. Couldn't recommend this place enough
I went here on a Friday evening. I'll start with the good. Music was good. Mostly 90s/00s R&B (until they threw on R.Kelly?) but nice vibe overall. People were mostly staying to their own lanes and enjoying themselves. The staff was friendly. The not so good? there was a couch in our lane. A full couch that we had to ask to be moved so we could you know, use the lane. Then they just moved it to another lane. The place itself needs a good cleaning and inspection. The lane was definitely slanted to the righ
It's always good time. The food is good, drinks are good. Music is a vibe..but trust and believe you will be spending a lot of money. It's very pricey. You will however have a good time. I'll definitely go back, but I'll be financially wiser. They have parking in the back, just turn right after the light, and another right and you're there. That's where the entrance is, so its ideal.
Dj on Thursday nights was phenomenal! And the food was good as well. 3 stars though bc the drinks were weak. And our lane(s) kept malfunctioning. We had to be moved 3 times. And there were broken bowling balls?idk bowling balls could break! lol BUT I also want to note that their staff is really nice and trying their best so I hope they're able to work on updating their lanes bc it's a really dope concept!
Convenient location that can benefit from an update. Attentive staff and great parking behind building. Went on a Tuesday night outing with 6 friends and almost had the entire Bowling Alley to ourselves! The staff asked us what music we wanted to hear and even put the party lights on for us to set the atmosphere. Great option for after work get together with coworkers, friends or family. You can also reserve the lanes ahead of time on their website for convenience! Definitely recommend supporting this local
Best place to hang. Best birthday spot. Cheap $5 shots !!!
My 3rd time here, always a great experience, the staff are friendly and accommodating. Rich showed great concern and his customers service skills are impressive 10 stars in my book. I will be back again and again
If I could give this place no stars I would... lanes are not oiled, slippery floors... please wear real sneakers, or fall... 1 star is because no one was here. No league, no nothing... My son and I was able to play. Every other place we have to wait til 9p.m every day special 30 dollars for 2 hours.. otherwise 5.50 a game and 6 dollar shoes... ????
It's was a blast and the shots were worth the price. Great for a 1st date.
First time going here. The place is decent looking. It was packed when we went. You had to wait to be called. They give you a beeper that flashes when it's your turn to play. You're allowed 2 games per session. We played 2 games and ordered food. The food was alright, nothing that makes you want to get seconds unless you're really hungry. There was a DJ present that made the atmosphere fun and carefree. Overall it was good for our date night. We had fun.
Went for a friends birthday and had a great time. Great atmosphere, awesome music, and drinks brought out super quick. So much fun for a different bowling experience. Highly recommend!
If you're looking for a club-like bowling experience this would be your spot. . However, if you're looking for a casual bowling experience with friends I would not recommend as it is overpriced ($30 per person) for poor quality lanes. You could find a cheaper spot for better lanes elsewhere. Nonetheless, music and service was decent.
Need to upgrade everything in there it looks old and run down and no employees around
Excellent place family and friend fun zone! I will be coming back soon. The manager was very helpful with everything, I think her name is Renee. Very personable. I came on a Saturday, live DJ and not too crowded.
I went with a group of 12 around 9:30 PM Saturday night and we got lanes immediately . The scene was live and energetic. The staff were great and the DJ was on point with the song selections. Overall it was a fun experience
We were celebrating Birthday of our friend, so we were 15 people including kids. We had alot of fun everyone was very nice, place was well organized. Food was great it wasn't greasy and alot of food options, drinks were good too. We will definitely be back. Special shoot out to Richard Sasho who took my booking, was very helpful and took special care of me n my friends
I came here on a Friday night and it was nice. But I have been here on a Thursday and it was a party. If you want to party go on Thursday. If you a pro bowler go on Monday lol. The drinks are 7/10 could be better. The food is 7.5/10. They have hookah just find out when.
Best time I ever had. Staff are really friendly. Ambient it's really nice if you're looking to have a great time with friends. I'm looking forward to come back. ??
We rented the entire bowling alley for a school outing. Brenda was very helpful and made the booking process very smooth. The students had a fabulous time and look forward to going back. The staff was friendly and available for anything that was needed. I would definitely rent the facility again in the future!
Had great time, energetic music and the crowd wasn't bad. Drinks and food is okay
This is my son's second time having a birthday party here. I loved how the staff was very attentive and met everyone of my needs. Friendly and polite as well. The kids had a wonderful time. My son says he loved the size of the space and all the food he had. I would definitely recommend Baldwin Lanes for kids birthday party.
Prices for food are high and they should put money into fixing the lanes
I would NEVER come back to this place again. Service is everything to me. Especially when choosing a place to celebrate with family. The vibe was what I expected but the service was TERRIBLE, waited about 1hr in a half for two orders of fries to come and then another 1hr in a half for four drinks which I wound up asking for a refund. Constantly had to ask a server or manager to help me. It wasn't until I complained verbally around other guest that the service is terrible that a manager pulled me to the side
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
