Extremely friendly staff. Great food! Awesome drinks! The Summer Special is an outstanding deal and lets you bowl two games each day with shoe rentals included, plus 15% off food and $5 per day in the arcade. Great value and a lot of fun!
I brought two teenage boys here on a Sunday and they had a really great time. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they bowled for 2 hours, had a great time in the arcade, and enjoyed delicious good. It was a great atmosphere and I will definitely be back.
This has been my go-to bowling alley for 1 year now!! Not only is it in my hometown, but the service from the staff & lane maintenance speaks volumes!! The staff have always been respectful, helpful and quick to respond to me and my friend group!! Never have they gave me a hard time!! I introduced myself & spoke with the GM by the name of Jamie (not sure if I'm spelling that correctly) and his attitude along with the hospitality is amazing!! It's the type of GM every bowling alley needs!! Now for the lanes
Ridiculously spectacular experience! Just spending time with the fam turned into a VIP experience, and the general manager, Jamie, made it all happen. He greeted us by name at the door, showed us to our lane, and generally made us feel welcome. Any questions or issues I had were addressed quickly and easily. I know a couple of people who think I'm not easily impressed, but Bowlero did that tonight! I was not expecting such a fabulous experience. Thank you!!
We had a birthday party here for my Wife and Daughter-in-law and it was fantastic!! Jaime the manager did an excellent job of hosting us. I did party reservation that include food, drinks, bowling and shoes. The bowling alley looks amazing inside. The arcade is top-notch. It was worth every penny. Thank you Bowlero!!
Fun!! Nice large, clean, bowling alley, with lots of parking. Went on a Saturday evening at 6 and was able to get two lanes with no waiting or reservation. The bar had good drinks and nice options, other than your basic beer. Food was good, all made fresh and reasonably priced. Nice selection of arcade games and pool as well. The place stays open pretty until 1 on Saturday mornings so no rush to end your games if arriving later in the evening.
I brought my teens from the boys and girls club here for a field trip and it was an amazing experience! One of the managers, Jamie, was EXCELLENT. He was so welcoming, helpful, and offered so many great deals and constant support to our group! I would 1000% recommend this place and his service. Made my whole week and will definitely be bowling here again!
The lanes are pretty good but we've had issues a couple of times with pins not being counted correctly. We told the manager and she fixed it though. The food is pretty good as well - I have had a few appetizers, liked some but didn't like the cheese sticks at all. Staff is friendly and helpful but the best part is the summer pass deal we love that ??
Birthday girl decided she wanted to go bowling on her BIG day. Although we did not have time to plan a party there, the staff went above and beyond to make it special for her and all her little guests. To ALL working today May 11th 2024 THANK YOU ALL FROM OUR HEART. WE DEFINITELY PLAN TO COME BACK. FUN!
While visiting Arizona my kids and I went to Bowlero in Mesa. It was a blast. On the weekends you do need to go online and reserve a lane for 2 or 2.5 hours and select the date/time and # of guests. Then book. It gets pretty busy so I suggest booking a day in advanced. The ambiance within the bowling alley was relaxing. They also had great snacks (better than a regular bowling alley by far). They also happen to have a very large arcade with plenty of games if you want to play. The staff is friendly and the
About 3 weeks ago I bought a new ball from the pro shop in the alley. And I was gonna roll a couple games with it but my ball kept getting stuck in the back and wouldn't come back so they had to help me get back but when it would come back it had big black grease or rubber globs on it. So the manager gave me a free game coupon that I hadn't tried to use until today. And when I gave it to the cashier he told me I couldn't use it because it expired in 2023! I hadn't checked the date because I just figured it
They have great specials. One lane needed some TLC other than that it was great. Drinks are a little pricey. Their shoes almost look new. Great service.
Looks run down from the outside but inside is definately a cool vibe. Staff was very friendly and attentive
I started coming here because my husband bowls. It's a pretty big party place, and the staff there are AWESOME! we had a family fun night last night and played the arcade till unlimited bowling at 8... also they have a pro shop where I myself bought a bowling ball for my husband for valentine day
I have been coming to this Bowlero for the past five weeks and it has been a real treat. Friday on the afternoons seems to have plenty of lanes with lights or black light lanes whichever you prefer. The staff is extremely friendly and there is an arcade with tickets and a full bar. I have enjoyed it here and the bowling alley is a delight to come back too.
This place was SLAMMED but managed to get us in! So much fun! The Summer Pass is definitely worth it!
It's an awesome place to have fun and get some laughs in for me! From the front staff to the waiter... everyone was super friendly and nice! Super clean, great atmosphere.
Very happy to come to bowl here.. we came to do my son birthday and all the staff was friendly and we were will taking care of.. Brittany was our server and the general manager asked how we were multiple times. (Sorry GM I didn't catch the name) but you guys rock and I recommend this place to anyone..
Had a good time with friends! Staff is helpful and friendly. The place is kept nice and clean. The food and drinks are reasonably priced!
Lots of fun to be had here! Hadn't been bowling in quite a few years and things went amazingly!!! Attentive staff and fun random strangers everywhere. Bathrooms are something that could use some attention?but otherwise, an overall heartwarming and energetic atmosphere. Come and play!
Good vibe, it got a lot better since changed from Brunswick. They also change their mood after 9pm or so, which I liked and it fits drinking and bowling. However, price was a bit much for the game. It's about $9 per person per game and I believe there is no special. But I also understand since everything is expensive these days.
Location is amazzzzing the service is so good here! The manager and staff are super attentive. Clean and food & drinks came out quickly. Recommend the location here compared to other locations.
Had an amazing experience!!! Traveled from MO for my sister's wedding and celebrated with bowling, they went above and BEYOND!
This place is amazing . The lady's up front are the funniest. Surprisingly they had a whole arcade. Great place to have a fun time.
The lady that was doing all the orders was so Amazing she's quick getting out all the orders she was very nice and polite. I really appreciated the friendliness I got from there. We were there for my son's tournament.
Had a nice time.. bonded got to know new people.. the staff was professional and patient.. restrooms were clean..
We had a fantastic time here. Bowling place was relatively clean staff was attentive. No issues whatsoever definitely would return.
Been years, But this was great. Great arcade for kids if they not bowling. Pro shop was awesome. Never knew so much was involved i getting your own ball. So much detail. Finger size, thumb angle, etc. Amazing all around. Clean alley and great staff. My little girl loves it and we will be back.
Excellent experience. Tiffany was extremely kind and helpful. She was personable and even cracked a few jokes. The lanes were nice and the bowling peaceful. Roughly $40 for 4 games of bowling (only two people and within the time frame given). Will be back!
We had a great time on 11/21/24. The team here is amazing. We were treated like VIPs. A great first impression.
Just Celebrated my 25th birthday here with my family. Jamie is the manager here and he was amazing! The waitress/waiting staff was awesome too! The food was fantastic, Jamie told us they revamped the entire menu and it showed! Crispiest chicken sandwich I've ever had and my brother said the burger was fantastic as well! I will definitely be back for future birthday celebrations! Five stars all the way this place is great!
My family had so much fun here on. Sunday afternoon. It's very clean amd comfortable. Bowling atea was nice, and had cool lighting. The food was pretty good (pizza was ok, loved the fries and jumbo cookies). My kids (preschool through college) had a lot of fun here. Over 20 different kinds of games. The prizes for the tickets were kinda dull, but my younger kids had fun with them. There is a big machine that counts your tickets and dispenses prizes. Time flew while we were here.
Took family from out of town to come bowling and Mike the manager on duty was amazing! Super helpful and nice! Checked on us and made it feel like we were regular. Food was good and the Arcade was a lot of fun as well! Can't wait to come back and have some more fun! Highly recommended for a family fun night!
It's like riding a bike. It's been a couple of years since I've bowled. The first ball thrown, was an awesome strike!
Had the most amazing experience at Bowlero! We came in for a bachelorette party and I booked the wrong night, however the staff was so kind and accommodating! They were able to get us into the lanes we needed and continued to be so friendly and attentive throughout the night! Jaime made our night by stopping by our group, congratulating the bride and making sure we had everything we needed as well as just being someone we truly enjoyed interacting with. Food was great, we got a pepperoni pizza, some chick
We went on a Thursday night, and I feel like we got a pretty good price. About $15 per person for unlimited bowling and shoes included. The place itself is pretty clean, but don't expect anyone to wear a mask. The french fries here are sooo good. We got the Alley Sampler, which was a little pricy, but all of the food was delicious. Might be a good option if you're going as a group. Lots of parking, which was a plus as well.
I was disappointed that the arcade didn't have a photo booth. The arcade was pretty limited and pricey, prizes were lame but self service which was unique. Lots of lanes to bowl but we didn't go to bowl that day.
I've been coming here for years and its a great place for family fun. But, the food service could be better. I had to ask for help with food during a bowling league and the girl disappeared. I stood and waited for 10 min before someone went looking for her. When she finally came she looked inconvenienced.
The upside to all AMF/Bowlero locations is that they have drink or food AND bowling specials every night Sunday through Thursday. The downside is that the service is uneven between locations, and at this one, we received poor service. Though the website purports $2 pints, $2 slices, $2 hot dogs, and unlimited bowling after 7pm (see pics from their website), the $2 pints are limited to Bud Light only and the staff had no idea about the dogs and slices, despite it being "college night". The bar lady was pret
Had a great experience today, guys were very patient and knowledgeable. Got my holes re-drilled and a new bag! Merry Christmas to me! Can't wait to go bowling!!! ????????
The GM Jamie made us feel like we were the only people there. He is truly top notch! Can't say enough good things about him and his staff!
First time there with my family and it was fun. They have the same cards as mavericks... Not sure if they work because I noticed this when we got our new ones. It was clean and the staff was nice. Had a great time and will go back for sure!
Jamie the GM was absolutely accommodating and treated us like we were vips. Took care of our every need. And our server Emily was absolutely on point and, was waiting on us in every way always checked on us to make sure our beer was always ready and b4 we even asked for another drink she was ready always to get what ever we needed and the food was amazing. I would recommend this bowling ally over all the rest intown I would give the staff and the entire place 10 star's if I could I'll definitely come back h
Awesome alley! Customer service is always on point. We come here every week when our softball team is in off season. The manager Nick is great, only good things to say about him and his team. I absolutely recommend this Bowlero
arcade game was missing balls & we got refunded the points after waiting 10 minutes for the manager and right after the willy wonka game jammed as soon as i slid the game card. here i am waiting again for manager 12+ minutes taking away game time as they are about to close .. no sense of urgency to attend dissatisfied customers.
This is one of a good bowlero location. I remember when it was Burnswick an I sure did many hours an party's at this place. I've been bowling for 14years an they call me Savage because I have some tricks. But this is where an the one in Gilbert also I know when that place was Burnswick. Good old days
They do a Summer Pass each year that you can get 2 free games a day plus $5 added to an Arcade card each time you go. It started at the end of May and runs until September 2nd. I've been loving having this pass! Check their site for prices!
Nice clean laid back bowl. In nice community
Nick, the manager made it such a pleasant experience for us in the family. Great service from Emily and staff. The bowling balls were in great shape. The lanes are also great . I'm a regular at a Bowlero in California,I just moved here and this was the best food sampler. What a great first impression we will be back.
I have bowled league at Bowlero mesa for about 6 years now the approaches are not clean multiple reset buttons do not work multiple blowers do not work. And they keep raising the linage fee for bowling. When are they going to start maintaining things better ?
Nice place and reasonable prices. I will definitely go back.
The staff was very professional and friendly. Ample safe parking. Our only issue was the high setting on the ceiling fan (our lane), that could not be turned down.
Fun place for a birthday party! ?? I went for a birthday party and they had ordered the whole package. There was something for everyone to do, and everyone indeed had fun. The food was also great! Especially the sliders... Yum! ????
we were at this bowlero for an office event. The catering was good and the drinks were great. This manager was really attentive always checking if we needed anything and the lanes were packed which was fun to watch. My only down vote is that the arcade is outdated and some machines don't perform well. The pinball left button is broken, a Mario kart one has broken speakers. The coin drop game would have some of the cards get stuck and won't drop. Hopefully they get new current arcade games and fix the one
Love the people behind the desk and the managers are awesome. Pro shop crew is great.. shout out to Rich. They are all awesome and Mattea the server is so sweet and an awesome people person! We found our home bowling alley for sure!!
We had a great experience at Bowlero! Jamie made the experience 100% worth booking a lane reservation. We were treated like VIP. Jamie checked in with us periodically, was personable, and professional. He is a huge asset to Bowlero, and made our experience totally worth the extra price! Also, I'm very particular about food and do not like typical bar food usually. I didn't have high expectations for the food coming into it because it's a bowling alley, but it ended up exceeding my expectations and being so
We have so much fun here! Prices are reasonable and the staff are super friendly. Thanks Bowlero!
Had difficulty in our lane at the beginning. Their customer service is 5 stars though! They got us free games, free pizza and free coke!
We had a wonderful holiday party experience! The event host Brittney was upbeat and fun entertaining/greeting the guests. The GM was also very nice. The bowling alley was clean and decorated nicely for Christmas. We will be back!
It is defiantly overpriced I payed 40$ for 3 games I could've just went to main event and paid 7$ for unlimited bowling it was fairly old defiantly needs some upgrades and I paid 7.67$ for 2 medium drinks on the bright side there were free refills but overall defiantly don't plan on coming back
Fun night with the kids
Best bowling experience I've ever had! It was our first time reserving a lane here and Jamie made us feel like royalty! He helped us out with anything we needed, made us feel so welcome, and the food was INCREDIBLE. Definitely try the chicken tenders. We will certainly be coming back for more bowling here!
Enjoyed kicking my friends Beep! Beer was good and I recommend the sampler dish? More than enuf food!
Jamie and his team did an excellent job on New Year?s Eve bowling. There was a fun party atmosphere and the party package was a great value. My family had a wonderful afternoon bowling and having a good time. Thanks everyone for the top notch service!
Lousy bowling shack! I got a beer at the bar, the amateur girl asked if I wanted to keep the tab open or close out. I said keep it open. Some how she didn't understand that, and closed me out charging me on my card. After I was done bowling I wanted to leave and wanted to pay for the expensive beer, which I did and I then paid cash for the only beer I had, and why I tipped her $5 is beyond me. She couldn't have been older than 18. This is why I don't go out anymore. Ridiculous
The staff here have all been very friendly and pleasant to interact with. All very happy to be there! It also has one of the best arcades and prizes I think I've ever seen at a bowling alley - by far!
I bowl here in a traveling league and it's one of my favorite places. Shout out to the bartender on Monday night.
Good experience this week Wasn't as dirty . Lane shot tuff. Needs more counter help
Good staff and good people all around
Very well kept up. Friendly people.
Decided to join a league here. This place is ok. The people who work here are very nice. The group we bowled against were super cool.
Went to bowl this last Saturday for my 5 year old my honey and myself they wanted us to pay 90 plus tax for three games, meanwhile almost all lanes were empty! Jokes on you we spent 20 on the arcade and left! Don't go on Saturday! Or check out fat cats
Staff are great especially the managers
Me and family were there tonight and had a GREAT time. When we went to the play the arcade games i had trouble with one of the willy wonka ones and brought it up to Jamie the manager, and he very quick to check it out and had someone come and fix it so i can play again, and then when i had a problem with prize box not working right Jamie was again very quick at fixing the problem. He is an amazing manager, very friendly and upbeat; and me and my family are DEFFENTLY coming back again!!!
This place is amazing I went there with this big group and it was awesome it's super cool I completely recommend it.
Super fun place. Modern and loud.
Hadn't bowled for about 8 yrs. Went to a Bday party here and it turned out to be really fun. A little expensive, but I think it's well worth it. We go now every other week. Like the burgers and fries, the pizza has to much cheese, the chicken strips are good. Overall it's a good place for family fun
Good time, clean, friendly!!
I cannot understand why the cost was so high $120 so two adults and a child could go bowling and reserve a lane in advance. It was the same experience as when you walk in to bowl and coming from the people near us I vastly overpaid. I am really disappointed because when I called in I was calling to understand pricing and feel like I was hustled into this ?group event? that did not come with any additional perks, there was no special branding, the facility was clean however not updated, bumpers could only co
This location is awesome!! The staff is super friendly and they have awesome arcade games. When my family and I went in last week the claw machine had been broken but the manager on shift, heith, made sure that everyone left happy! Food is always yummy too!! The customer service was excellent and management is extremely friendly and efficient. 10/10 for a family night out
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.”
