Great place to bowl. Whole place feels well maintained and clean. Lanes were working perfect. Staff was very helpful showing us where to get and apply coupons from the phone. We saved 1/2 on a 2 hr lane rental. Order the sampler platter while you bowl. Excellent food. Highly recommend Bowlero Fresno.
Really great time here for Mother?s Day. Such a clean and contemporary bowling alley with amazing staff. I have done work events here successfully and also really great family events. Couldn't say better things about the staff at all areas as well.
I recently visited this bowling alley and was very impressed. The lanes were well-maintained, with automatic scoring and comfortable seating. The staff was friendly and efficient, making sure we had everything we needed. The prices were very reasonable, offering great value for a fun outing. I also liked their wide selection of bowling balls for all ages and skill levels. I'll definitely be back!
This isn't too bad of a bowling alley. It is a little older, and the pins are very easy if that makes sense. There is a little shop. The front desk gentleman was very polite and quick to help. However, at our lane was 2 full trays of left food and trash, and not once did we get asked if we wanted to order anything. We had a ball stuck in our gutter for 5 full rounds after mentioning it and pressing the call button. The restroom was quite dirty. The arcade is descent for a bowling alley arcade, and the ambia
I haven't been bowling in like 10 years, the experience was so much fun. The customer service was great, the food was good but the alcohol was not my favorite . Price for 2 of us was like $54 3 games and 2 shoes , about 64 for the platter and two drinks . The place was clean and i cant wait to go back .
My big bro was 27 and got accused for a fake ID which is crazy. I on the other hand had my military ID along with my California state ID, still was checked for buying alcohol and drinking alcohol. Most definitely won't be coming back and hopefully this review lets others know not the be blinded by the new manager or ?manager? trying to be a fake civil, while 4/5 workers confirmed my big brother ID being real and still came to check up on us instead of respecting our privacy and leaving us alone. And your wa
Rude inattentive staff. Their policy is to not give out pitchers of water anymore? So either you must buy alcohol or a sugary drink or walk all the way to the bar for one tiny cup of water each time you're thirsty. You have to put your card down for literally everything. You come in with a group and you want to bowl? you gotta put your card down. You wanna order food you gotta put your card down. You wanna go to the bathroom you have to put your card down. And the staff does a terrible job of explaining why
Literally our favorite bowling place,went every week and the staffs was cool but today we went and we ran to this one girl who was in the front today and was telling us that we need to have at least 8 people in order to have two lane, but every time we go, we meet the other guys staffs who are really cool. And they will always give us 2 lane even though there's just 4 of us. Which got us so confused, because we always go and play unlimited and is able to get 2 lanes. But that lady was saying we MUST have 8
Had so much fun and knowing that you get to meet people on the other side of the lane
Its a whole new world of bowling ?? awesomeness!!
I came after a long day at work and Kyle greeted me like he knew me. He was so kind, quick, and knowledgeable about Bowlero I actually will be coming back more just because of the experience he provided me. ???????
Great food, people, very neat and clean, we played a few games it was 13 of us.... And the shoes were comfy
Clean and updated, however we had several problems with the lanes working and our online order for sodas never showed on their end and we had to go ask for it after a lot of time went by. Friendly, helpful staff.
Great place, friendly place if that, they got awesome lanes and people who work there. Especially Isabella, she's a great manager. The waiters could be better, they come once and never again.
Great family entertainment. We did a Groupon package. Was under 20 a person for 2 hrs. Was a great time catching up with family.
Definitely enjoyed our time here. Keven, Kyle, and Shane did an absolutely awesome job at providing the best service. Had a great time with fam!
Had our company Summer Bowling Party here. It was a wonderful fun experience for our teammates and their families. Food, drinks, and desserts were always being served for our 3 hour event. We had 12 lanes, Billiards, and children got arcade cards to play free games. Adults were able to get tickets for adult alcoholic beverages. Manager Stephanie was always checking on us along with all the staff. Thank you Bowlero.
The food server service is still bad here. Last time I visited was 2 years ago and I see why. The server staff did not once ask if we would like to order anything or offer water. However when I paid for a separate lane so my toddler could enjoy alone and my teen kids have their own game they approached. They approached simply because they noticed my toddler was not wearing bowling shoes, the young lady did get her a pair and bring over to us which was nice. Restrooms are clean but dark Wednesdays are senior
This Place is the best to have some fun with family, friends or whoever. The food and Drinks are really good they even have a full Bar ??.
Great place to enjoy with family!!!! They have great deals. An arcade place for kids and adults. Food service is great. First time being here.. amazing
This was going to be a drop off but it was so much fun watching the kids play that we stayed the hour and a half that it took to play the two rounds. We had payed for Groupon but got there after 6pm on Saturday and where not valid. The staff help us out and waved the price of the the shoes ??. We had 10 playing so OMG that was a big help.
It's a very fun place if you're going with a fun group of people. Everything is simple to figure out, except when ordering like food or drinks you kind of have to find someone or just go up to the bar if you'd like. Restrooms are usually clean also. I'd personally love if there was more of a Latin music mix during play.
Really fun. They offer an unlimited bowling price where you pay and can bowl for as long as you like. Great to go with a group and they serve alcohol and food here
this place is great! fun for everyone adults and kids. plenty of lanes for bowling, pretty good arcade set up and a full bar. the staff is very nice and helpful. they also have an old Mustang in the front of the place that you can touch and sit in all you want. if i am in Fresno and need to bowl and drink beer with my family or friends this is the place i'm going!!
They honestly have the best lanes. Service is the best with the front counter workers and Isabel is super kind! Would highly recommend to friends and family.
Had a great time with friends. Their food was great and the games were a blast!
Always great friendly staff! Great atmosphere for a group or more intimate social date. Bowling, pool, arcade, several monitors with music videos playing, great music. Highly recommend!!
I'm very competitive so this place was VERY fun, and the music was great. Fun people around you giving you tips as well to bowl better. Shoutout to COACH
I'm seriously so good at bowling. Nobody could beat me. Bowlero is cool with exceptional service and entertainment, but I make it way cooler.??
Had a great time with my son this afternoon at Bowlero... a bit pricey, but worth it. The place is clean and has a great vibe! The staff is very nice and helpful. We ordered the fries and an order of hotwings-- both were served on baskets and very generous portions. I also liked the big screens over the bowling lanes. We enjoyed playing 3 sets and have decided we will return. Highly recommended for families!
Great place for an event or family fun verry clean fast service awesome atmosphere
Went there to hang out with my brother Daniel. We had a great time. I'm terrible at bowling. I got more gutter balls than anything but every once in awhile I got a strike lol
Great place to host your company holiday party! Lots of fun, and lots of compliments on the food they served! Everything was great!
We had such a great time. There were 10 of us ladies. The employees were always great, making sure everything was OK.
I'm not much of a bowler, I hadn't bowled in years. This place has really been upgraded! I'd like to go back.
Had the best time. Good vibes nice people. The whole family enjoyed it thank you
Loved the atmosphere and customer service was excellent! Great birthday celebration!
Nice bowling atmosphere but apparently they start checking people at 8pm. So if you're Law Enforcement you can't come in or go back in if you have your off duty. Just food for thought.
Always a good time! Create an account online and earn points on each receipt! There is also great deals in Groupon!
Great place to have fun, staff was very nice and attentive!
Customer service is good. I Took away two stars for their terrible food. The menu pictures make the food look delicious, but the food was burned and rubbery. Too much oil, and looked old. I asked for a refund.
I enjoy every time I play there, my family has a great time from the youngest to the oldest
We had a group party here for 8 people. The price was very reasonable. It included 2 hours of bowling on 2 lanes, shoe rentals and we also got some food discounts. We had pepperoni pizza and a sampler plate that included wings, fries, chicken tenders and some other things. All of it was good. They were able to store our cake and bring it back out when it was time. We were also able to stay in our space after the 2 hours was up. Staff was very accommodating. If your just looking to bowl and have some
Such a fun place! All the staff is great, the food & drinks are amazing.
Fresno Social Sports hosts the BEST bowling league EVER at this location. It's absolutely amazing!
First time here in Fresno, and I really enjoyed it.
We had a blast, and the staff was very courteous and helpful. The atmosphere is upbeat and inviting. I'll be back again. It's definitely the best bowling alley in Fresno.
Prices weren't crazy! We did have a few issues with the pins needing to be reset, but the staff helped us set up a double lane game play so all 8 could play together like how they do during league.
One of the best worker there goes by the name of Crystal. She's amazing, hard worker and always produce a positive attitude. There's been multiple times I go there and she is the only one working the front desk/cashier. She's fast and very understanding. She's a keeper. Forgot to mention supervisor Josh. Josh is professional and will make your night. I came in with my group of 10 people, he set me up with 2 lanes and we were taken care of instantly. He even personally came over to check on us and grab the b
I had a graduation party for my son here and they were awesome! Customer service was amazing from beginning to end! Highly recommend for events or parties??????
Friendly and very knowledgeable personnel. Bar tenders are excellent and give quick service. Food is very good. We have so much fun that we are now joining a league. Everyone who works here is very helpful and makes us comfortable. Very clean everywhere. The Bowling Academy employees are wonderful. I purchased a ball and it is a perfect fit. They were very helpful.
Place is great , just don't use call center to book , they will rip you off double, just walk in local staff are great
We came here for a kids birthday party. The decor looks really nice. They have huge projection screens above the lanes that showed three different shows/movies. The food was ok, typical deep fried barfood. The had hamburgers on their menu that looked good but we didn't try any. You can pick the theme of your score keeping device. We joined the Clubouse and immediately got coupons sent to us via email and text message. All in all, I am impressed by how much they improved the place and I look forward to re
Very fun place to hang out for Bowling, pool, arcades, full bar, food!!
We had a great time here during unlimited games. Family atmosphere the pizza and wings had good flavors.
Not bad, it's under construction so appearance is not too great at this point in time. We used a Groupon for a group of 10 of us, we ended up paying about $8ea for 2 house of bowling ??. Not bad at all, we had fun. And they let you bring in outside food if you're looking to save. I saw a few people bring in an ice bag, 2 liter sodas and pizzas.
Kyle was very helpful and offered tremendous customer service thank you to the entire staff for serving, assisting, and taking photos of our party. We had a great time.
They have remodeled the heck out of that place. It looks really good in the bowling alley. Me and my family had a great time
Very nice but not cheap, games, shoes, food, soda, beer add up. I spent $150 on a Saturday night on a family of 4. But we had alot of fun, well worth it.
We had a great time. Staff was so friendly. Good memories made this day. I would definitely recommend this place
We went on a Saturday afternoon with the family. The staff was very nice and helpful. Ordered food, and everything tasted excellent. We'll be returning. Very fun.
I give 4.5 stars and rounded up ?? as this has been my original house for 20+ years, and I've watched it transform quite a bit. The service is 4 stars but stellar no less, they have a fantastic staff less the bartender who's partial to male clientele, despite im a regular as well as league bowler. Thankfully, the rest of the staff makes up for it. The food is 4 stars and consistent with Bowleros nationwide. Personally, I like the nachos and tacos, lol. Here's the bad parts ?? as a seasoned USBC & PBA bowler
Bowlero is the best bang for buck fun! The food, the music and the staff are so wonderful! I had a lovely gentleman named Kyle take care of me as I was here. He was amazing! Super polite, respectful and I was beyond satisfied with his customer service! Will DEFINITELY be coming back again.
Great place. Fun atmosphere. Love the staff. Always have a great time. I'm here 1-2 a week.
Had a birthday party for my grandson, he loved it!! Our friends and family raved about it, we had a great day!! The staff was awesome and very friendly, they went above and beyond, also greeted us with big smiles and told my grandson happy birthday even the manager came over a few times to make sure our day was amazing, and it was!! Go Bowlero!! Most definitely will be going there more often, thank you so much for a wonderful day!!
last place I would choose to bowl, only problem this is the only bowling alley in town. they never oil for league properly if they remember to oil at all. food and drink is way overpriced, I expect these price when I go to tourist places, not Fresno out of all places.
Staff was very nice. We had the club sandwich wrap and fries. Food was great and price was good. We watched senior bowl tournament, it was fun. We are going back to bowl ourselves. Fun and affordable date.
Good vibes and cold beer the blue moon tower is the way to go no need to get up for another pitcher halfway through game.
It's now updated . So awesome and affordable for the whole family. I have a big family. My kids had fun. Great place for party.
Took my family to go bowling last night, we haven't been in months. This location is one of our favorites to go too. We bowled 2 games and ordered food as well as drinks. Staff is usually always good except one host I actually was not very pleased with. I asked him if we could please get a pizza to go box, since we had over half a pizza left. He said yes, then as he goes to get it but then a group next to us asked him if they could order food and he turns around and looks at me and says I'll get you the box
Celebrated my BFFS birthday there. They accommodated us and service was great!! The place was clean and atmosphere was fun!!
Very updated and fun environment. However, their customer service could use improvement.
We attended a child?s birthday party at Bowlero Fresno and it was outstanding! I mistakenly made a reservation for an additional lane at the wrong location, and when I realized my mistake less than an hour ahead of the party, they immediately transferred our reservation to the correct site with no questions asked and no additional charges. The food was great, facility clean, and the party details were thoughtful and so cute. Will absolutely be back and highly recommend Bowlero Fresno and Clovis for their pr
I hosted a 12-lane staff party. Food was very good and our beverages were never empty.
Great customer service.. looks really nice after the remodeling... You guys should come over and play here with your kids
Had a great time.granny bowling is the way to go tho.lol
Had a good time with family. Not too busy. Quick customer service to get a lane. One thing we didn't know was that there was an automatic service charge when ordering food from your lane and having a waiter/waitress bring you food. It's an 18% charge however we were charged double on one tab so it was about $38 for a little over $100 worth of food and drinks. We didn't realize it until we were home . That's more than 1/3 of our order . Update: Bowlero reimbursed some of our payment due to their error . Cor
My review is not going to be about my experience at Bowlero. It is about how great of a Operational Manager Isabel is! She was wonderful and stayed perfessional at all times and even went beyond her way to help me. I had an issue with a purchase on groupon and called their business for help. The groupon coupon was associated with one of their awesome deals! But unfortunately it was about an activity that I did not purchased from them but how I got charged for. Isabel went her way to help me with finding my
I had an amazing night with my friends here last night, it was my first time there. the staff are all awesome!! Miss Krystal deserves a pay raise, her customer service is top notch. Also the staff Lorenzo was awesome!! What can I say ALL the staff were great, if I knew all their names they would all be mentioned. I will definitely be coming back! :)
Our work group had a great time! Taylor Krogman in Events was easy to work with prior to the event, and on-site manager Shane and our server Fernando were great as well. The only negative is that our pizzas came out a half hour late, so some of our participants purchased their own food while waiting. Other than that, everyone had a fun time!
Shoutout to Shane, Isabel, and Kyle for stellar service ! ????
Clean and nice place staff is nice.
New n improved... loved their service... will definately book another party there...
Had a great time with the boys here. My server Aaliyah did an amazing job checking on me and recommended items and a beer tower for the group. Will definitely be back for her service.
The staff was great, but the lane we had kept messing up. After each person's turn we had to have the pins reset. (Lane 8) don't order the loaded fries whatever their "nacho meat" is it's not good. The cauliflower bites, pizza, pretzel and fries were good. We had a great time despite the lane issues. Very family friendly atmosphere.
Family fun. The bowling was fun and the food was great. We had the best time with friends. I would recommend Bowlero to family and friends.
Our first time here. Our lane had a glitch at first but the manager Stephanie and her team was very helpful and accommodating. This place was clean and inviting. I'd recommend this place as one of the top blowing alleys in Cali.
Horrible experience today. Looking to get out of the heat and thought we would take a chance here. Ac was not working properly even the workers were fanning their faces. Couldn't make it through one game without sooo many technical difficulties in the lanes. They kept moving us to multiple lanes, Asked for the refund and the manager Matt would not give us complete refund due to it being a "special". Didn't apologize or anything. Horrible customer service. Won't be back to that place anytime soon.
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.”
Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
