I recently visited this bowling alley with my family, and while parts of the experience were enjoyable, the overall visit left much to be desired. When we arrived, it was extremely busy, so we decided to spend some time in the arcade while waiting for our lane. The arcade games were fun ? not the cheapest, but still entertaining enough that the kids had a great time. The real issues began when we ordered food. The menu options weren't particularly healthy, which was disappointing, but the bigger problem w
staff was not attentive at all. we had an issue with the screen to order food, we wanted to pay cash instead of card so we clicked the request for server button. no one came at all, my girlfriend had to get up TWICE to get someone to come over and help us (despite everyone being at the front just talking). we clicked it again later to order more food and still no one came, and still, they lingered at the front just talking. we had to flag someone down again, who was nice but the service still felt subpar.
Took a while to get a lane but it was worth the wait. Lots of fun for family and friends.
Staff is great - sometimes computers on the lanes screw up but it's easy to fix manually. There's usually open lanes for walk-ins - reserving online sucks because I always have to pay for 2 people and 2 pairs of shoes ( $80 - $100 ) each time !!! Besides that It's a great place to bowl !
Whenever we visit LA from Australia we always come by to bowl here. Staff are great and the lanes are always good. They seem to have the lights turned down. We asked them to turn the lights on for our lane and they did which was much better Clean ammenities and the bar is always good for a beer or two afterwards. Skittles are on strings and occasionally one will foul another! Artificially inflating your score by one!!! No complaints here. Some great arcade games too. Especially the VR headset dinosaur shoot
This staff here were real nice. Fun for every age.
Very nice bowling lanes and good selection of arcade games too. Food was fresh and actually pretty good. Fun place to hang out and have a beer. Please stock cider also - that would be perfect.
AMAZING! We made reservations the same day (6/23/23) for 10:30 pm and upon arrival we were greeted by the manager, she was such a wonderful person, very friendly and walked us to our lane. Our server was also wonderful, he kept checking on us and always attentive. After closing our tap the manager came to us and gave us a beautiful card thanking us for visiting. We were so happy and pleased with our experience and everyone that made us felt welcomed, from the security team to the manager, server and everyon
Extremely short staffed, leave you standing at counter waiting for 20 to 30 mins to cash in tickets for kids , despite being informed multiple times . Even though multiple staff members just walking around and standing around watching people bolw
Great fun for all the family. Bowlero hired me recently for a community event to draw Caricatures. The staff is extremely friendly and the place is kept very clean. Thank you for having me!!!
Anytime I come to LA for work, I always make it a point to go bowling (and lose horribly) at the same Bowlero.
I recently visited Bowlero Los Angeles and had a good experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole process smooth. It's a solid spot for some casual bowling.
Went here with my family on a Saturday afternoon. Get here early, lanes get crowded and the wait can be lengthy. Had some shots beer and some bar food while were there. The atmosphere and music was great!!!!
Fun place for adults, kids, and families. Seems safe for teen hangouts with friends. Great date night or day. Food looks good, fun drinks. More than bowling there is arcade activities as well. Good music throughout. Entrance is in back with loads of parking and a Ralph's next door. I highly recommend!
Every year, it's something new and not in a good way; virtually every ball is nicked, scuffed, or damaged in some way. Whenever the bowling league plays, management always likes to shut down all but 8 lanes hours before the league even begins to show up. While the food prices have caught up with inflation, the quality remains pretty mid. Additionally, management has instituted a new policy of no outside beverages, which is understandable, seeing as how they have a bar. It becomes ridiculous, however, when t
Super fun! Update screens allow you to have a great experience. Sunday deal is awesome! Monday is all you can bowl, it is a little bit busy but still worth it. Food is reasonably priced maybe not the most tasty but big portions. Cocktails are cheap and too sweet and most of them is ice. STILL with all that being said is a lot of fun, good prices, 100% recommended.
Bartender was polite but extremely slow. Draft beer..Modelo $14...game $15... shoe's...$7.... greasy uncooked pizza...$14.... probably won't go back
On behalf of Pacific Palisades Presbyterian Church we thank Bowlero for the amazingly warm welcome and service of its dedicated staff. Our children's and youth ministry met after the devastating fires for a time of respite and Bowlero met us with open arms and a smile in their beautiful LA location. We are especially grateful for manager Brian, event host Daniel, and server Nayeli!! With much love and appreciation, Lucy Garcia, Director of Children and Family Ministries at Pacific Palisades Presbyterian Chu
Awesome, nice music and reasonable price food and beverage.
Why is there no updates about any minors not allowed through F through S. It not listed anywhere on here and updates too wasted money on the drive here.
This place provides hours of fun for all ages. I showed up with my group (all of us 18+), and we could not help but purchase a game card for the arcade before bowling. $1 = 2 credits, so $30 got you ~60 credits and each game is ~4-6 credits, with the larger ones where you can earn a plush ~11. The games provide you with tickets on your card which can be redeemed for toys. They should add a point system for adults to get beer to keep them incentivized to pay and play too, just a thought. The bar had a foosb
It was a quiet night, but that was perfect for hanging out with a friend. Staff were friendly, drinks were good, shoes were relatively comfortable (and looked good in black light). The computer ordering system for food and beverages wasn't working, but the staff were available so we could actually talk to a human which was probably better. All in all, a fun night.
Yeh Bowling! Lots of lights and color and games and food and bowling! 32 Lanes of fun! Pool and Foosball too. Aaaaaand lots of video games Food is actually pretty good...more pub grub than bowling alley Staff is great I just wish it were slightly cheaper
First visit march 7, 2025 group of 8 , we were exited to visit this place. We spent Quality time , we were all having fun bowling , playing games , sat at bar drank few drinks. We went home, the very next day MY son and I started feeling weird. March 8, and 9th we developed cough On Monday March 10, 2025 We were already going through severe FLU SYMTOMS. I ENDED UP CALLING other people that were with us at this place March 7, 2025 They were all sick too. My son , and I ended up at urgent care. We are u
Dope place to go bowling and have drinks near Inglewood. The music they played wasn't horrible and it's got good vibes. We had an event up there and the staff was exceptional.
From my experience this Bowlero location has been well run, clean and has all of the latest video games. Over 30 bowling lanes with easy to use screens for managing your game and for ordering food ?? Went on a Saturday night, and while it was busy, we were able to get a lane in a few minutes. There was a DJ and it was a fun overall atmosphere. Besides high prices per game (which seems to be everywhere these days), it was a good time.
Perfect. Great experience during the summer Monday afternoon. Service was great, we recommend the samples perfect for a small group or family
Great experience. Drinks aren't that strong but price of bowling is great. Good clean lanes
Always a great time. Good prices and the food service is speedy
Nice place. They let you open a tab and play as many games as you want without having to decide ahead of time how many you will play. Plus you can order and pay for drinks from your lane and they're brought to you. I went on a sunday because I happened to be near and the prices were discounted.
We had a Birthday celebration for our twins Franky & Alice, who turned 13! at this location. The service was over the top. Very nice, very professional. We all had so much fun. And the food was great! I love this place! Will definitely do it again.
In my opinion, the lights make the whole thing a better experience. It makes it a cool environment to be in. The arcade was a nice touch too. However, I would recommend Bowlero gets more security because the time I went, a bunch of kids were climbing into the basketball games to get a point each time they shot. It was pretty funny to watch, but it could have lead to someone getting hurt. Other than that, the place is a cool experience! Would recommend going.
Good times in a non-fancy old school bowling alley. The COViD protocols are a pain, but it's CA so it's to be expected. Staff did not get the balls from the unoccupied lanes back into the racks so finding a ball was a bit of a pain. Big well stocked bar. VictorB
Been here for decades. Not many of the old fashion bowling allies. It is more than just a bowling alley. It is an entertainment center. Complete with food and a bar.
It was fun and beautiful thanks for the amazing experience
I just visited this location for the first time and I must say I overall enjoyed my experience. The customer service was solid, as the host didn't give me a hassle about the groupon coupon I had (currently $36 for two hours of bowling for two people). I enjoyed my experience bowling as it was an welcoming atmosphere, but I was disappointed that the online food menu didn't match the current menu. On their online menu, they had tacos and quesadillas but on their current menu they removed that so I was disapp
I couldn't imagine it would be this good. I was impressed with the customer service, from the entrance and the waitress. Very good price on Sunday, they were charging per game, 66$. The pizza was very tasty. Excellent playlist. I recommend.
I don't understand why finding their prices is so hard?? It isnt listed on their website and it's not listed on here. Don't think about calling them either, they won't answer no matter the time of day.?? But besides all that, we had a great time. They sell socks for $3 too if you need them like I did. Very accommodating, we were a group of 16, they let us have 2 lanes with 8 people at each lane. Tons of parking out back too. 10/10 would recommend.
Great place for family! Fantastic food too??
A nice place to hang out and have fun. Service was a little on the slow side, it appears the kitchen struggles with larger groups and larger amounts of patrons. Theresa is an amazing bartender. Will definitely return
The place is nice! It's been over 10 years since I was last here. And when I showed up a few days to get a bowl I was pleasantly surprised with the remodel and decor. And I was very excited to know I could now order food and drinks right at the lane. Yep its been that long since I last bowled anywhere.
Celebrated our party here!! Awesome buffet and party package.????
After our first disappointing experience where we were overcharged by $100, we were invited back for a free game with a free app and beer tower! It was an absolute blast and we had a great time. The team did a great job taking care of us after the last experience. A big thank you to Adirah who helped us out!
great experience! fun and active w/ food and games!
It was pretty decent place to bowl. Food was good, but one of the pizza was little bit over cooked. The server for our group was fantastic as well
On a Tuesday night, understaffed behind the bar and then I get under-poured on my dirty martini. The bartender not only claims that my martini looks under-poured because of the glassware they use, but then recites ?a martini is made with 1.5 ounces of alcohol.? Haha. Not one bar in existence makes a martini with 1.5 ounce pour. Ya might wanna google that. They also use ?perfect-pour? spouts on their bottles so the drinks are regulated to exact pours of 1 ounce. That's great for inexperience bartenders, b
We went to celebrate a birthday. Had a great time. Going back.
Bowling chain with an arcade, bar, and pool table inside. Came here on a Wednesday around 9pm and there were only a couple of lanes available. They have a bowling deal on Mondays that I would recommend taking advantage of if you're in the area, because otherwise it's about $20 for a game. They do have half off arcade games on Wednesdays, but note that quite a few games were broken/out of order. Straightforward set up and you can host parties or large groups here. Credit cards accepted. Restrooms available
Fantastic bowling alley. We had a party of 40+ people split over several lanes. They're drinks, food and service were great. Everyone had a great time. The place is clean and has a very fun atmosphere.
I have been going to this place for close to 30 years. Tot just reopened after the remodel and everything looks amazing. The food is still great and it still gets packed on Friday nights but in a good way.
Always an amazing time!!!! I work down the street from this location and I bring my employees for bowling every other week so we enjoy some time together. We are never disappointed with the energy they provide and the great service from Jaylen, Brian, and Adrena!! The bowling alley has black lights and on the weekend they have a live Dj Spinning until 1am (closing). They offer mixed drinks and beer here without gear deals on huge fishbowl cocktails to share and beer flights for the whole team, and the best
Fun, upbeat atmosphere! The staff was friendly and helpful. The food we ordered (alley platter & boneless wings) was quite good. The lanes were well maintained. They were a little slow to clean up after food/drink service on empty lanes, which lent an air of messiness, but other than that, it's a solid hang out spot. The bar and arcade are great, there is plenty of seating. I would return and recommend.
Hey yall I went here before but it wasn't at night. I'm telling yall to go like after 8pm because they turn it up it's like club music. They have a DJ and he is lit. I went on a Friday to a kid party. It was nice but after a certain hour they have security and he starts like checking your bags for real. They had some good fries and they those chicken strips were so darn good I'm telling yall. They did a good job on the party overall. I had to remember what I was there for because that DJ was on point.
This is definitely an ultimate bowling place. With good selection of some arcade games, decent finger food, and music, an evening can be well spent here. The only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because of the funky smell while entering the place. It smells like entering a place that's cooking in old oil. Of course it's not very strong which is why we are able to go, but otherwise the smell is definitely there. Overall its a very fun place situated in a nice safe neighborhood with no parking issues sin
Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable staff. Very clean maintained location. The Baha fish tacos were slamming and the drinks are good. Median pricey yet worth the visit...across the street is a good walking park.
The food was great and music was amazing. I think they had a little something for everyone. I really enjoyed our games. The other group across from us was very cool and nice. The hr bowling is a little pricey- I believe it was around $70 /hr not including shoe rentals.
I do Recommend ?????????? VERY NICE! GOOD MUSIC!
Great time and awesome Flatbread pizza :) Arcade games, the football games are on!
Fun place, but a little pricey. Clean
Essentially reservation only. They won't even provide an ETA for walk in?s.
My favorite spot to have fun and enjoy the time
I never leave poor reviews unless I have an overtly bad experience. Last night after checking in I kindly asked the ladies in front if I could have the manager double check to make sure I hadn't been charged twice (this happened to me last year at this same location). Instead she called the manager and said I claimed that she had charged me twice which I did not. I tried to explain kindly that I wasn't trying to be difficult, just wanted to double check to avoid a hassle later on.The issue was resolved. Aft
Addendum 8/16: the Manager from this location gave me a call and we were able to exchange our views. I very much appreciate the call back and I will be happy to visit this location again. My wife and I visited just last night to play some claw machines at the arcade. I must say we had absolutely the worst, the most disappointing experience here than anywhere else! We are experienced players with the Bowlero claw machines and have gone all over town just to play them, and we understand that most of thes
One of the most fun places in my neighborhood. Jonathan took the best care of us. He was very attentive and was constantly making the rounds to check the n us. I would hire him to be a manager at my company!
Fun place but very crowded. Got wanded at the door which was sketch but overall it was a fun night. The drinks are affordable!
Great time with friends
You pay per person per game. For two ppl and one hr play was quite expensive. And still have to pay for the shoes.
Great bowling experience: everything is in shape, staff is super helpful, they have a well stocked bar.
Cheyenne was so helpful and very accommodating! It was very busy and she handled herself with style and grace. Whoever hired her made a good decision, she was friendly and informative. Thanks again Cheyenne for your great customer service!
What a shame! They told my daughter that one of her friend cannot take in her salad (she has allergy and a medical condition). All the other girls ordered food from the menu. It was my daughters birthday and they were condescending with them all along. The manager didn't care about it. Last year i spent so much money for her 10th birthday when i ve ordered all their junk food package but they don't care about customer services apparently. Also, i m interested to see your policy. Please people just go to Luc
Had soooo much fun here and i have great memories as a visitor from Boston in this nice huge arcade . Bartenders and security are more than professional and amazing ?? highly highly recommended.
The staff is great at this location. The even coordinators and our hostess Emily were amazing. Always attentive from start to finish. I will definitely be planning future events. A++ to the whole team today ??????
Absolutely amazing!! My friends and I went to play at the arcade for a little bit and the games there were amazing, especially the VR!!! The arcade was also very clean and well organized. In the prizes section, the prize selection was very nice and the attendant Louis who helped us pick out prizes was very down to earth and charismatic. He also assisted us when we were having difficulty with some of the games. He is an absolutely amazing dude. 10/10 would come back to.
They have close to 30 lanes. Pretty big. Staff is very friendly! Will visit again!
Fun spot on Fri nite, but as the night gets later you should go home w/your lil ones....
Cool place but heavy on the pockets if know what I mean. $20 per person/game and the bar is pretty hefty with $12 for a beer. But if you got the wallet space then this is the place to bowl until your hearts content!!
This place was very accommodating! The service was excellent, the food was good and the staff/people were really nice! We had a great time celebrating a birthday there.
Aaron G was great we had an issue an he handled it much love we will be back because of you bro ??!
Always good vibes here
We came in with a coupon for $12 bowling for two hours on Easter excited to bowl. We have a 2 year old who was equally excited as this was his first time bowling. We presented the coupon and we told that they don't honor the coupon at this location. The place was dead! I asked if they could tell me a location that would honor the Easter special and they said sorry, no. My child was upset and so was I. Poor customer service. A few other people behind me in line also presented the coupon from their email. T
Met with a group at 5pm...didn't get a lane til 9pm. This establishment allows you to order food on a monitor, or have someone come to your table... I order 1 cocktail 15.99, French fries 4.49 and wings 15.99...my total would have been 43.00 and some change had I not changed my mine....on top there is a mandatory 18% service fee.....I was NOT paying that kind of money for a meal....isn't there a law against forcing people to pay a service fee...I didn't even bowl.....I will eat before coming there....matter
This is my childhood bowling alley. Use to be $10 tops per person with shoes? now it's $100 plus! For BOWLING??? Insane. Never again.
Great place to bowl. Easy parking and nice environment! Excellent customer service. Plus good drinks and food. Brian the General Manager was very friendly and helpful.
Maybe it's just me, but $15 per bowling game plus $7 for a pair of shoes and you're spending $$$ for four games for two people. Anyway, the place is fun but spending over $100 to go bowling (with no food or drinks) seems kind of crazy. Still a fun time. And very conveniently close to LAX.
Went on a monday night. Was a little busy but didnt wait long. Food was fine. Served hot. Arcade games were okay. Two different games didnt work when i swiped and took the credits anyway. Lady in the front register area credited me back which was nice of her. Parking was easy to find. Park in the back if you want to be closer to the entrance which is in the back.
Is there a rating worse than 1 star? If so, Bowlero gets it. Imagine taking your 10 year old out for a Daddy / daughter bowling night. Its 5pm on Monday night. The place is literally empty and they say it will be a 30-40min wait. OK.. I get it, you want us to spend some money at the bar or in the arcade. Will do. You wait 45mins with no service, no text notification the place is still empty and your daughter is being patient as she can. You figure you ought to check in and when you do the same two people at
The bowling center is clean and well-kept. A great place for a night out with friends. I love the atmosphere of this bowling center. Went here for a birthday party and had a blast. The atmosphere was fun and lively, and the staff was accommodating to our group. Will definitely be back.
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.
