Bowl 360 Brooklyn

Bowl 360 Brooklyn

Reviews Summary

Bowl 360 offers a mixed experience with strong praise for its vibrant atmosphere, friendly staff (especially managers like Selina and Xavier), and fun events, earning many 5-star reviews. However, inconsistent service, long wait times, poorly maintained lanes, and overpriced or mediocre food draw frequent criticism. Competitive bowlers note lane conditions are subpar, while casual visitors enjoy the value and vibe. Customer service ranges from exceptional to neglectful, with some reports of billing issues. Renovations and diverse music are appreciated, but loud noise and overcrowding can detract from the experience.

Customer Reviews

We had a fantastic time at the bowling alley last night! My wife, myself, and two of our friends decided to have a little fun evening out, and choosing bowling turned out to be absolutely perfect. The atmosphere at the alley was really lively and friendly, there was nice music playing, and the staff was attentive and ready to help. The lanes themselves were in great condition, the balls rolled smoothly, and the scoring machines worked flawlessly. We had a blast competing against each other, cheering on goo

Pros: -about 20 bowling lanes -contemporary music -dark/night club lighting -large space -open late -serves food and drink -has arcade upstairs -conveniently near subway -cheap in the mornings and usually on weekdays Cons: -pricing is inconsistent, some nights it's $25/2hrs/person, some nights it's per 2 GAMES instead of hours -Long wait times for food AND drink -The AC?s mounted right in front of the lanes aren't functioning even when it's 85?F and packed to the gills in the middle of June -staff are neve

Visit date 01/15/2025. Time of visit - 8:04pm. Careless Female Manager. She didn't bother to give out BOWLING SHOES. So I was bowling in high heels and eventually my socks because my feet was hurting. And there was 2 male servers one light skin with curly hair super rude while taking my order, and I seen him and another male server flirt In front of the female manager and give out their socials, super unprofessional and they gave them bowling shoes as well. Also I asked for another drink because none of the

I had an amazing time at Bowl 360 Brooklyn! The atmosphere is vibrant, the lanes are well-maintained, and the whole place feels welcoming and fun for everyone. What really stood out to me was the exceptional service, especially thanks to Xavier, the manager. He went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and that everyone had a great experience. His attention to detail and friendly attitude truly made a difference. Highly recommend Bowl 360 to anyone looking for a fantastic bowling experience

I gave 4 stars because although the food is good, the wings could use some work. They are breaded too heavy, that makes the wait for food longer, Overall the alleys are set up nice. We had a good time and are planning on returning

I really wanted to like this place. It is by far the best value bowling in NYC on a cost/time basis. Can't beat $10 for 2 hours. If you're looking for a good time with friends or family, this place does the job. But if you're someone who bowls more competitively, this place has a lot left to be admired. The lanes don't seem to be maintained regularly and are absent of oil. But these days, I'm probably more of niche customer and my complaints aren't as relevant to the general public. If you're just looking

Just left my son?s 10th birthday party at the Bowl360 in Brooklyn and it really surpassed my expectations. The food was delicious, everything was clean and well set up, and the service was courteous and efficient. It was so nice to be able to bowl and mingle and have everything else taken care of. I specifically want to shout out our server, Marques (sorry if the spelling is wrong!) He was great - super attentive, kept on top of refills and cleanup, and was just a really nice guy. All in all I'd definitely

Service was horrible!! My party of 8 ask can they raise the music they stated we have speakers on our lane ( speakers that aren't working ) the food came out 30 mins later for just fries and boneless wings the food was cold! I stated the food was food she just looked at me and didn't apologize or anything just stared at us. We ask to order another drink she stated he would come back went to fake clean after party when the manager already cleaned it! From the very start the server just seem like she didn't w

I come here pretty often and I probably should stop lol. I only come here because it is conveniently close, but it's an okay spot. This is the last time I will be here. The music they play is good, however, the customer service is terrible. Please order your drinks at the bar rather than ordering through a server.. The amount of times I have been overcharged for the wrong drinks is insane.. Additionally, it takes almost an hour to even get food; at that point you're pretty much done playing a whole game.

Horrible experience. We have so many complaints, and we never complain. While the actual bowling alley might be good and clean, I have never experienced such abysmal service before in my life. I'm shocked. The people at the front desk are rude and unclear about the bowling policies. I clearly asked how many games I get, and after asking, his only answer was unlimited time. Additionally, while the website says $10 per person, we got charged $38 per person which was ridiculous. To start off, the wait staff

This has to be the weekend hangout for the younger crowd. They were having a party, which led to me having to wait forever for my food and drinks. They need more waiters and waitresses. We had to keep going to the front desk for someone to come service us. If you don't pay attention They will skip your name on the list. I suggest making a reservation.

Sunday, February 16, 2025 I attended a friend fifth birthday party with my six year old. Unbeknownst to me, included in the reservation was ample chicken nuggets, fries and beverages for all parties invited to the party. Being an adult, I ordered adult beverages apart from the party drinks for the adults in attendance. A new employee took my order. She was dense. When my daughter approached me to ask for food, my waitress allowed me to order chicken nuggets and fries for my daughter knowing good and damn we

Venue is nice. Projector screens could be improved. Service was nice. The actual bowling is flaming hot basura. The floors lanes are not leveled and lanes are not maintained. So you gotta work with a tilt and warped wood. Balls are cracked to all hell and unbalanced. Pins are chained vs free flying, so much respect to anyone who can get a strike or pickup a spare. The vibe on some nights can make up for how shitty of a score you'll get. I didn't see a single person get remotely close to a 120.

My son 9th birthday was today , the manager Margie was a big help down to the food . The food was 10/10 the customer service was great , good music and the lady Lola made great drinks . Thank you my son will be back

We just had my 9 year olds Nephew?s birthday party here and everything was amazing. The food was great, the drinks were good! Been coming to this bowling since I was little and I'm glad they did renovations, everything looks great!

Had a great time with the gang. My waiter Nelson did an amazing job making sure I was taken care of and he was so polite. The food was pretty good. A bit crowded but it's expected on a Saturday.

Cool place to drink with friends and have a good time. Horrible for amateur and league bowlers. Lanes not oiled and returns kept scuffing my balls. No hate to management or the people that work there (even though I waited half an hour to speak to the manager), but the lanes and pins on a string are genuinely horrible. Specifically for competition games, go to Funfest at Mill Basin instead.

The food is the only thing that got better everything else is worse , oh how sad shell lanes died for this trash? even string pin setters?. Music will blow your ear drums out ?.. btw the photo is what you will be left with after a perfect shot

First, there is never anyone behind the desk. Second, the staff hangs out by the bar and vaping while people wait at the front desk. Third, the lanes always have an issue and it takes an average of 15 minutes to get it repaired. Fourth, It always smells like marijuana and the staff smokes right outside. Finally, I went to use the bathroom. It was a complete and utter disaster. As well as the food just sitting all over and right outside bathrooms upstairs while it is hot. I will not eat the food at all. The

This place was previously known as Shell lanes. Looks like they have redecorated it. The games upstairs are fun, and the bowling ally's have both traditional games and some fun modern modes. Food left much to be desired. I had the smokehouse burger, and it felt a bit thin and bland. Otherwise, it is a great experience for everyone from children and beginners to more seasoned bowlers.

First and last time coming here! I ordered a strawberry daiquiri it was disgusting I work in food service so I always believe in 2nd chances so I asked them to make it again but without liquor. As I was playing I saw that 30 minutes had passed by I still had yet to receive my drink. So I went to the front desk where I saw the waitress who took my order. She stated she doesn't make the drinks the guy ringing up customers does. As I continued playing it had now been over an hour other tables were being served

On March 1st, evening time, my family went there to have some fun on a random Saturday night. They walked in and were greeted by staff, and then went to the register and asked for 1 alley for 3 people. The woman told them that it came to a total of $116. They were shocked because on a flyer on the front desk that said ?15 dollars per person?, but she told them it was $38 per person. They stepped to the side and started speaking a different language because we are more comfortable speaking like that, then su

We had a very disappointing experience at this bowling alley. First, they don't allow reservations, so we had to wait in line for over an hour just to get a lane. Despite requesting two lanes for our group of six, they only gave us one, making the game cramped and less enjoyable. There was no manager or staff overseeing the rules, so other groups were playing recklessly without any supervision. To make matters worse, our server never checked on us once during the entire two-hour game, leaving us without dr

Good atmosphere, good overall. The food and drinks are a little over-priced I'd argue.

Not enough workers and the ones they do have are careless. Waited 30mins to even be greeted and to order, then another 2hrs for 1 lane. You have to pay for your food before you get it, so they don't care when it gets brought to you because they already took your money. Ordered wings, waited another hour for them to say the order got lost, only resolution was to get a refund which left a 16 year old starving. Overall, the management and disorganization is going to ruin this business as it's obvious nobody do

I organized an event at this location and was really delighted by the experience. The manager, Selina, did a great job ensuring my party was taken care of. Despite a few hiccups, I think my party enjoyed their time time at Bowl 360.

I'm satisfied with this place. We had a wonderful time with my daughter and my classmates there. It was our first time. Also chicken tenders and fries are good ??.

If you're going make sure you bring more people so the fun lasts. They have rails and throwing supports for the kids. The staff are so nice. There's food you can order and entrees are large enough to share for multiple people. Prices are affordable, 7 or 10 dollars per person per game depending on the time and day. They have an arcade on the second floor and dining tables as well.

If you actually like bowling, don't come here. They have String Pinsetters and hardly ever oil the lanes. They don't enforce the bowling shoe requirement, so the approaches are always a mess. The rest of the floors are usually sticky. The bathroom floors are often times wet. And summer or winter, the place is always too hot. Food and drink prices are what I would expect these days at a bowling center.

I would personally rate 4.5/5. It has amazing scenery and a bit of loud music. And a bit of a weird policy about time and lane management. Food and drink is good. The some staff was okay but the manager was super cool. I would recommend you to come, if you just want to relax and enjoy bowling with your friends and family.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. We were told to get there by 5pm on the dot each time I spoke with an event manager, because the party will start then and you only have 2 hrs. We get there 430 to ensure that we have all the time that I paid for. We get over to the 4 lanes that were reserved all the lane operators were not working so we could not add names, we had to write it on paper to give it to them to add in the system. That took 40 mins- I inquired about when the food was coming and they w

It was first time coming to this location, was looking forward for a fun night. Went in at 7 was told 30 mins for 2 bowling lanes. Ended up waiting for 90 mins. Thought I will order food while I wait, waited for an hour and the food came cold and burnt. Overall experience is horrible, they didn't want to fix the number of players in each lane until I asked the fourth time.

Food was disgusting, saw mold on pizza. My lane was broken for 45 minutes, had no bowling balls in my lane. Smelled like expired milk. Workers are very rude and they have no manners. My drink was expired. NEVER COME HERE EVER!

Really busy place, especially on weekends evening. At least 20 lines. Restaurant on second floor. Restrooms are not clean enough.

Waited nearly 2.5 hours for a lane. (The wait would?ve been longer if I did not decide to walk out) The restroom was filled with people smoking, mind you, there was many kids there. It was a hot mess. I would not recommend this bowling alley. The staff could not even get my order correct. They took my money indefinitely. But kept saying, ?we don't have this / that? makes 0 sense. Save your trip go elsewhere.

We was super hype about this place $38 for 2 games (shoes included) per person. The food and drinks were ok.. not to go for round two. The sitting arrangement could be better. A few empty working lanes and they bunch up my party of 6 with a party of four while we were eating and they were literally talking over our food. The waiters were just doing their job and weren't rude or nothing. The lighting esthetic very nice.

This bowling alley is an absolute fraud! Always check your transactions immediately??The servers add tips for themselves without my consent. I had to spend an hour disputing these charges instead of celebrating my birthday and enjoying bowling with my friends!

Came on a Wednesday for a fun night of bowling. The place was packed even at 11pm however we were able to get on a lane quickly. The service was a little slow but I think there was a high volume of people for the amount of staff. The staff was helpful and attentive. The food was basic fried food galore, we ordered the shrimp Fries and calamari which you must pay as you order and don't expect it to look visually appetizing. It did come out warm, but it did the job. The music was on point a mix of all genres

I went here yesterday for a party of 4. Upon going to our designated lane, the tables were filled with food and trash. Very unsanitary, we waited about 20 minutes to flag someone down to come and clean our tables. We began playing however we wanted to order food. Finally our server comes and takes our orders, we waited about 30-40 minutes. Shortly after, we flagged our server to ask about our food ( Burger, mozzarella sticks). She stated the kitchen is so busy right now, that?ll she go and check. Within 5 m

Booked an event here for my co- workers, we were very warmly greeted by Lala and the rest of the staff. They were very accommodating and friendly. Made the gathering very fun and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

The ambiance is very nice. The service is horrible. The cheese taste horrible for fries.

Very fun place. The food was ok and the staff was very friendly. Had a great time and the area was clean.

Only come here for bowling. Don't both buying food and drinks because as soon as we did that's when our experience went downhill. We paid $77 for two hours of bowling with rental shoes included and quickly were given a lane. It took about more than 20mins for a server to come so we had to go ask for one. When we finally got a server, we already knew to put our full order in to make it easier on the server. I ordered a simple jack and coke and was given a fireball and coke, NO ICE and in a random plastic c

Worse place ever don't go here at all. I came here with my family to have a great time. They mess my drink up and food. Then they mess up my mom food the worse customer service. I ask for the manager they said the guy that serving tables its the manager no way the manager is serving tables. Moral of the story they didn't want to get the manager out. Don't take your love ones here?

We celebrated our son's birthday with relatives, we really enjoyed everything. We played bowling and ate delicious chicken, pizza and fries. The staff was very responsive and polite, constantly coming up and asking what we needed. I couldn't leave the tips when checking out online. Left as a cash)

I love this place every time I come here to bowl i have a good time drinks and food is good was there last night and the manger Margie was very fun and outgoing and welcoming I will definitely be back soon

The customer service was amazing! The morning deals are even better! Too good to say no!

I had an amazing time ! It was so much fun! The staff was very nice and the manager Margie was very attentive and had a positive attitude and shows that she works hard and loves her job. 10/10 recommend to come here for a great experience and amazing vibes !

I've only been coming here for 40 years. Used to be shell lanes for those of you who haven't been in a while. Skip the food, but lanes are nice and modern.

We went for a work event. The staff at the counter had really no idea what was going on and couldn't figure out our reservation without the manager. We asked the guy multiple questions and he was pretty useless. The music is obscenely loud too, it's awful. I will say that the servers were amazing and so sweet. Because our event didn't get advertised early enough on our end, we didn't have anyone show up and the waitstaff thought it was an unattended birthday party and came to ask if they could party with

Worst bowling experience ever! I'm not one to get on the internet and bash a business but wow. First of all literally just a whole mess! Not enough workers or workers who care at least. They didn't have enough bowling shoes, we ordered food 30min passed we asked for the food for them to only say it's so backed up i don't know when your food will come out. Never got the food. Overall our waiter was apologetic and we appreciated him for that but terrible experience I will never go here again.

Celina was very helpful even letting us change the music in the alley ,would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy themselves with friends

I had my sons 3rd birthday party here .general manager Xavier and his staff made my sons birthday party a success and a amazing experience. I am truly appreciative and would highly recommend this location to others . Thank you again

I waited 15 minutes being ignored at the front desk as people passed me by. And then after finally screaming at somebody to get their attention, they told me it was $48 a person for two games. This place is an absolute joke. Save your money and go to the pool hall down the block.

After COVID, we went bowling with friends for the first time. Unfortunately, we were left with no positive impressions of the place. We rented a lane to play, but the prices had become unrealistically high. Then we decided to place an order, but no one came to take it for 20 minutes. When I went to the bar to order, they told me a server would come to our table, but no one did. It got worse: we wanted drinks in glass bottles, but they didn't have any and offered draft drinks instead. They brought only half

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THIS PLACE !!!! Bowling is my partner and I's favorite hobby. So much so that we like to make sure we can have a session at least once a week! It's nice to be able to have a "bowling home" where the vibe is so laid back, welcoming, professional, supportive, and diverse. They cater to all different cultures musically and they give you so many food and drink options! The staff is super cool from top management all the way down to general team members. My partner and I love this

Went on a 1st date n the drink girl gave my date an attitude makin it clear she only serves drinks after waiting already 40 mins to order food, we were sat next to a party of 8, we couldn't even get food. We had to wrap it up after 2 bowling games 75 dollars for 2 people to have bad experience so we went n grabbed tacos. 1 st time goin n never goin back. If u guys do decide to go I suggest goin very early to avoid ignorance and actually being able to order food while bowing?which was the whole purpose of

We came with a party of 10 and did 5 lanes each. Our 1st set of lanes had a leak in the ceiling and was leaking on us. The 2nd set of lanes on has seating for 4 (2per lane) and the beam is totally obstructing us. Maybe we expected more and I was willing settle, but then I went over to the next side, and I saw the more space with no beams. I was told that that side was closed down after the bowlers were done. Not a good experience.

Andrew is a cool guy great server and hard worker, he got everything we needed while working an other tables too. Margarita, the manager was pretty rude to him and yelled at him in front of the people, she seems entitled.

Music was very loud, but it was a fun experience! The food was good. Also it's very colorful, better than the plain scenery they had before!

Awesome, old fashion bowling alley. The place is very clean and a bit dated. Prices are great and there's always a special, just call ahead to find out what's going on that day. THEY ARE ALSO A CASH ONLY PLACE. Shoe rentals are $4, which is a great price. Upstairs there is a small cafe that sells food and drinks. We tried the chicken wings and fries, tasted delicious! There are also a few arcade games upstairs along with the restrooms. Party room is available as well. My family had a great time here and we

Took my kids, 14 and 4 yrs old here for a bday party and the atmosphere is cool, small and intimate(think it could be really nice for adults), feel i was overcharged for a pitcher of Modelo(35, looked at menu on table it said 26) the wings are really good, and my 14yr old said the pizza was just aight.

Order got cancelled. Servers machine went down. No one ever came back to take our order. Lanes froze several times . Each time we had to wait about 20nminutes for it to be fixed. This location needs help with organization.

The front desk Caleb was great at his job, He was attentive and took care of us. He was the great go to guy. He made us feel comfortable. Xavier was also really great he was helpful and was very respectful.

A group of 5 of us went early Sunday evening and it was a nice atmosphere. They had a special price for that time of $20 pp including shoes for 2 hrs of play. We got lane 17 in the corner with the comfy couch. We had no one in the lane next to us so we were able to spread out. The Cosmic bowling also added to the fun.

I had the best service tonight with the waiter Jamel I got my food on time while it was hot and my drinks was amazing that's to the bar tender I can't wait to come back

Food was nasty. Drink had no alcohol in it. Spinach artichoke dip came out later than the food and was still cold. Manager on duty said no refund because the food was already made. Wanted bone in wings got boneless

customer service was amazing food was great and the music was awesome, definitely come and catch a vibeeeee ??

Came on a school trip. Good price and fun but the staff was not friendly and ball kept getting stuck.

Worst bowling experience. Prepare to wait for a bottle of beer for 20 minutes and nachos (that's just grocery nachos with melted cheese) for 30. The place is extremely disorganized. They put you on a wait list and never call you. Then, when you show up, they lie to you that they had called.

Very unorganized. Balls are dented and wobble down the lane. Staff is great, but more staff is needed to make it run smoothly. Staff on duty now needs raises for doing 3-4 jobs at a time

Regular bowling. The place was clean, my shoes were almost new. We didn't eat here, so I don't know anything about appetizers. The weekend price is $15 per game. Overall a good atmosphere and a good choice to spend the evening.

Awesome place! I loved it. Good food. I had so much fun!

Lanes could use some oil, not sure why we couldn't bowl on the other side of the alley either didn't inquire if it was broken or not Drinks are strong, we didn't try the food, assume it's not good since the employees were eating outside pizza . music a bit gloomy, sad Adele type R&B music all night would?ve been nice to have hip hop reggae or if R&B like the classic usher Ashanti Ja rule throw backs like ya know like upbeat feel good music. Scenery is nice though being that it's a new establishment. Bathro

Thank you so much to Selena and Caleb. Everyrime we come here we get an amazing service. They are my favorites. Thank you sooooo much

Would?ve been a horrible experience if it wasn't for Margie, experienced racism by an employee. He (white guy) put all the black people stacked together and gave a white couples their own space to be comfortable. I told Margie and Margie made the whole experience much better. Thank you.

Randomly chose to go to this bowling alley for the 1st time and the service was quick. It was calm vibes not too packed which I like. The music was diverse and kept flowing the entire time. The employees were very friendly and accommodating. 10/10 would definitely revisit again

Xavier did a great job great performance made sure I was comfortable n took care of what was needed

The staff was very attentive, friendly, courteous and respectful. Love the Dessert and Chicken Wings. Food was great. Thank you to the cook ????

A group of us went in the afternoon on a Thursday. It was very quiet which fit our group well and the prices were very reasonable. However, the staff was very limited, so we had to wait almost 10 min for someone to come up to the desk yo check us in and another group who came about an hour after we did ran into the same issue. With the limited staff ordering drinks and food took a long time. The atmosphere and venue is fun and clean. We loved all the things we could do to customize our team, and there was

Went here on Monday night, Great bowling. Lovely night staff! The manager Xavier was very helpful. I lost something he took my number and called me when it was found. The entire night staff was excellent. Our server Jada was very attentive and took her time with us always getting me and my family everything we needed. Would 100% come back for family nights. Kids loved it, wife loved it.

Planned a last minute girls night and we had a time !!! The music was amazing. The service was 10000/10. The workers Jada and Margie set the tone, they made sure we had a great time with no issues. Our bartender David is the best. Drinks was 10/10. They danced with us and included everyone who was there to do the chacha slide. We had a blast. Would definitely recommend. If it was a chance we could request anyone to provide our services it would definitely be them. And if you happen to have them just know yo

On August 23, 2024, our school hosted a staff outing for 40 people at Bowl 360 (Brooklyn). I regret to say that our experience fell short of our expectations. We arrived at 3 pm, looking forward to a fun and seamless outing. Unfortunately, the lack of professionalism, poor service, and overall disorganization left us deeply dissatisfied. Unwelcoming Attitudes: The attitudes of both the hostess and the waitstaff were dismissive and, at times, downright rude. From the initial check-in to our interactions th

Had loads of fun. Great place for the entire family. We enjoyed the wings but was a bit disappointed with our beverage alcohol level

I came in with my work crew and we had an amazing time due to the great customer service will definitely come back , thank you to the staff margiii

Very fun and lively bowling ?? venue, great eclectic music ?? playlist, helpful friendly staff and good pizza ?? and wings ??

Overpriced food, horrible staff, and terrible service. Went here for my friends birthday, and we paid 108 dollars for 6 people. we were forced to buy shoes we didn't even need to wear. As we were playing, the game paused, and we asked for help, but they didn't help. They instead came up with excuses and ignored my friends concerns. One of the staff said they were going to get the general manager, and he walked out and never came back. We couldn't even get a refund for it, and we couldn't even play a whole

Was their today, xavier and jada were amazing in so many ways for me and my brother while we played. the food was also very good it was fresh hot, got to me in a very quick manner and hit the spot , the games were smooth it was overall a great time. Will definitely be back again

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.
