Customer Reviews

I normally love Bowleros. The vibes are awesome and the decor is so cute. This spot was no exception in those regards. However, be aware that when we went (a Saturday afternoon) the pins were String Pins. We couldn't figure out why we weren't getting strikes and it's because the strings inhibit that typical pin behavior - striking other pins. I understand for maintenance and use, it's probably easier and less costly. But it's very frustrating. And harder for kids, too. They also reset our lane in the middle

We went on a weekday at 4pm and there were plenty of lanes open. We didn't need to reserve any. The service was very good. It was a fun time for adults and kids. Video arcade, food and cocktails available. Pay per game per person + shoe cost. 4 ppl was about $90 for 2 games

I had my Birthday Party last night it was beyond my expectations, shout out to our server Kyra amazing service she provided all night. The Manager Kayla with warm welcoming and explaining the whole thing. Nevertheless bartender Jose& Camila for amazing drinks they make. The food was great as well. I couldn't ask for more. YOU GUYS ROCK! Highly recommend this place.

We had an awesome experience today celebrating my husband?s 40th birthday. Everything was all ready for us when we arrived. The manager went over the event details as we checked in to make sure everything was seamless. Our server was Jennika, and she was incredible! She had the area decorated and looking awesome. Her service was friendly and attentive; I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of our group. Give her a promotion/raise; she deserves it!! I had arranged for some snacks to be serve

We had a great experience at this bowling alley! Our group?2 adults and 1 child?bowled for two hours and had a fantastic time. The lane features were convenient, especially the automatic bumpers that go up or down depending on who's bowling. When we started, there was no one in the lane next to us, so we were able to finish two games in under an hour. Once another group arrived, we took turns and our third game took about 45 minutes, which still felt relaxed and enjoyable. The food and drinks are on the e

Bowlero is hands down the best place to bowl, eat, and just have a great time! The atmosphere is electric, the lanes are well-maintained, and the food & drinks are top-notch. Whether you're here for a casual night out or a competitive game, this place delivers on all fronts. But the real highlight of our experience? Jennica! She is, without a doubt, the best server we've ever had. From the moment we sat down, she was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. She has such a positive en

We visited this location while traveling for a friend?s birthday. The GM Nathan was so inviting, professional, personable, and his customer service was exceptional. He checked in with us though out our time in the bowling alley. He helped our server with running food. Jennica (our server) was phenomenal. She provided ideas, drink recommendations, and exceptional customer service. This place was certainly 10/10. I highly recommend visiting this location if you're ever in Scottsdale AZ.

This place is pretty much a rip off. I went for the first time with my partner and my brother. For the 3 of us to play three games it was $105. On top of that, the food was awful and was way overpriced for what it was. We got two small 12 inch pizzas, and some wings, which ended up costing $60, which I guess would have been fine except it took 40 minutes to get 1 pizza, and 8 wings because the kitchen was slow. The second pizza came 15 minutes later. When we were ready to pay we let the server know, but it

Came to this alley from out of town. As an active bowler and a member of the usbc, I expected a typical house shot. However, the lane conditions were terrible. The house balls are all drilled the same. The 8lb balls have small holes, the 10lb balls have medium holes, and the 14lb balls are massive. However, the most frustrating thing at the alley is that they do NOT advertise that it is string bowling, and to me, that's a false advertisement and poor taste. Do not recommend going to this alley.

We celebrated my Son?s birthday. It was a great experience however you need to ask or you will miss some information

I've been to quite a few bowlero?s around the valley. Today I chose to make the 45min drive to visit this one thinking it'd be the nicest one. The pins are on strings. I have never been to a bowlero that has pins on strings. Might be the first time ever that I've even seen pins on strings. I couldn't tell you how frustrating and a waste of time it was coming here. If you're a bowler I would not come here

Had a great time. The staff were all welcoming especially Jose who was awesome at his job. The place was in my opinion spacious and clean.

Always a great and friendly place for birthday parties. The hostess was great and so was the front counter girl. They know how to make you feel welcome.

The entire staff was friendly and welcoming, but Kayla and Jordon truly went above and beyond to make my experience a fun one. A welcoming place with good vibes. 5 stars

This isn't your parent's old bowling alley from when you were a kid. It's colorful, has chive tv playing, service to the lanes, a full sit down bar, and an arcade. My favorite part was the surprise on moms face when she saw the automatic bumpers that can be programmed to only come down when it's a kids turn. The food is a would be expected. It's not a good as a bar but fun apps for sharing. The drinks are also as expected...overly sweet sugar drinks. We shared a fishbowl in honor of my BIL's birthday and a

Nice bowling experience ? friendly and attentive staff, various balls of different weights already loaded into the machine, and you can have bumpers appear/disappear by bowler. But this place is very expensive - we paid around $10 per game not including shoe rental ?? We went on a weekend afternoon and maybe 10% of the lanes were taken. I assume the high price keeps most going elsewhere. But if you're looking for less crowds and willing to pay more for that, Bowlero is your place.

This place is so much fun for all ages. There are games , a bar , food. This place is very clean and the staff is wonderful. Thank you to Ashely K. at the bar , she made our experience wonderful. I highly recommend this place for birthday parties and/ or people to hang out

Great place to bowl!! Super spacious and fully stacked w an arcade area, huge bar, and kitchen!! No wait during the day on a saturday. It was pretty pricey for two games and a rental $60 but i saw that they have really cheap deals in the evenings on the weekdays.

This was a great time! The bowling alley is very nice and is filled with great arcade games that use a digital card system to pay with credits and the 'tickets' you win get loaded on the card! The bowling was great, and they even had a DJ playing fun music. Be sure to get the beer tower and the fishbowl cocktail! Not too expensive for a lot of alcohol. Service at the lanes however was incredibly slow and the servers forget about you.

I visited yesterday evening with my brother, his girlfriend, and my girlfriend for what we hoped would be a fun night of unlimited bowling. Unfortunately, our experience was far from enjoyable due to a series of frustrating events and unprofessional behavior from a staff member. We paid for unlimited bowling but were disappointed when our lane was shut down before we could finish our game, despite other lanes around us still running. To make the most of our time, we moved to the open lanes next to us. Howe

First the good? The place is clean and modern. Atmosphere is very nice. It's always fun to go bowling. Now the bad? Upon arriving at our lane, we immediately tried to order food, as we were all starving. Unfortunately the kiosk would not accept any credit/debit cards that we tried throwing at it. I pressed the button to request for help. Ten minutes later, still no help. We went and tracked down a server. They said they'd be right over, but never came. We finally realized there was a QR code on a sign at t

Went for a fun evening of bowling booked online for a 9-11 slot. Host came over at 1030 saying they closed at 10:00 and the monitors would go off. Both website and google maps say 11:00. She was also the one to intake our group and confirm our two hours of play.

Great service. Food was fine. Place is clean and all the equipment worked as it should.

With Bowlero the only thing you need to do is get your guests inside the rest just leave it to the amazing team from the sales person to your personal waitress the experience is just perfect and stress less ?.I celebrate my son 14th birthday and I only had to worry about the cake and the party favors?.they even help me with the birthday candles????????????? #FOREVERBOWLERO??

I was wondering why this place was empty. No complaints about the food or the games?the place is great. But for one adult, one child, two games, a shared burger, and a soda to cost $75? I won't be back.

Fun bowling alley kept very clean and a friendly staff. Fully stocked bar including some top shelf bottles. Had a great time here

I love Bowlero. Every time I go I get the same waiter, Chad. Chad treats me and my parties with the up most respect and serves us quickly and efficiently. Chad is like a well oiled machine. He gets the job done!!! Great service and truly cares about the experience of our bowling. 1000% to him.

We had a fun afternoon bowling with the grandkids. The food is pricey. But the atmosphere is fun. We will be back.

This place is Amazing!!!! We had my son's birthday party ?? here. This place was the biggest bowling alley I have ever seen . It's so glamorous, even has Chandeliers . Seating is luxurious and colorful. The food is sooooo delicious. They have a chef in the back and boy can they cook. The staff was very kind . The assistant Manager Mackey White should get a raise and a promotion. He treated us so warm, kind and like family. They have a large arcade area with so many different games I lost count .

My daughter's birthday party at Bowlero North Scottsdale one of the best experiences and the most fun we've had a family in a long time. Mackey White went above and beyond with his service. He was very kind and always checked to make sure we had everything we needed. The bowling alley was awesome with the Arcade games on one side, a nice bar in the middle and places to take memorable photos with props on the other side. Everything was easy, accessible, and kid friendly with no hassles. The ball sizes were

We just threw our daughter's birthday party here and everything was amazing! Kids all had a blast and the service we received from Nathan, Jordan, and Kyra was exceptional. Not to mention working with Lauren to set up the event was a breeze. We want to send out a big thank you to the Bowlero team for a memorable time! We would highly recommend this location for your next party!

I liked this bowling alley, we went mid day on a weekday and it had a good vibe. Good for kids. There was an arcade, a bar with fried delicacies, and of course bowling. The staff were friendly and helpful. It did seem a little expensive but then again you are in Scottsdale

Well this place is only designed for parties. Not real bowling. There was no oil on the lanes and there is no way a regular bowler could bowl on these lanes for practice. The facility is very impressive but not what I was looking for

Fun place! We went on a Thursday evening. The place is very new, less crowded. Bowling and shoes rental rates are very normal too. The place has a nice ambience too. They have a lot of arcade games too. The food options are also pretty good with a lot of varities. The staff here is very friendly too.

Forget what you thought bowling alleys used to be - this is such a fun bowling alley! Great music playing, huge tvs/screens everywhere showing sports, music videos, and movies. Neon lights all over the place! There is a bar with a pretty large food menu. Also, an arcade zone, too! Tons of bowling ball options around to find one to use. Definitely a fun place to come with a group!

I really enjoyed my time at Bowlero. We were on Lane 20, and everyone in our group felt as though the entire lane sloped to the right. The lanes also dont have arrows partially down to help you aim. Additionally, the ball return is a bit close to the lane and you can't stand very far to one side if you need to. The ambiance was great and the service was pretty good, but pricing was a little high for Saturday night. This is probably the busiest night, so I'd suggest the late night Friday night special. I wo

Staff was friendly and tried but need to give it another 5 months to work out the kinks. Bar was comical took 30 min with no one in here to get basic drinks. Then took 30 min to get the bill. Keep in mind there were 10 people total in here. The manager was rude when we brought up the concerns and tried to do it amicably. I would think they would at least learn how to use the register. Highly highly suggest skipping this place. Management needs to go to training

A decent bowling alley with 36 lanes. We went on the holiday weekend and still only had to wait about 10 minutes before we were able to get two lanes for our party. The lanes are well kept and best of all bumpers can be turned on individually for some bowlers on the same lane. This is extremely convenient when there are young kids in the group. The appetizers were good and freshly prepared. As with all bowling alleys music is loud. The staff is really helpful and courteous. They also have a selection of g

Awesome place right next door! Food and drinks were both great as well. If you're looking for something to do on a Monday night- check out this place!

This place is awesome! Great for a chill date night. The food is fire and the service is grade A .

We went inside at 9.30pm and they took our money, they didn't tell us we had half an hour, this is a complete scam, don't go

Drinks are good, atmosphere is classy and everything is clean. The employees were very kind and welcoming! Jesse, Jenny and Nathan had outstanding attitudes!

Bowlero has been around for awhile but new to the 7000 E. Mayo Blvd area. Great for large parties, family, friends. They have a bar, arcades, photo booth and food. What more could u ask for! Clean facilities and very organized. The layout of this place is amazing. Even a place to store your shoes and purse right at your table. Loved it .will be back again!

Here at this location it provides fun games; plenty of bowling lanes for family, friends, and if you're looking for fun by yourself. I really enjoyed the staff and service here.

This is a great place to bowl, the food we ordered was good (kinda pricey), great atmosphere also!

Fantastic fun.... even though I am a horrible bowler! Great atmosphere. Super family fun.

It's tough leaving this review because I used to like this place a lot. The service is great and the facility is super new and nice. HOWEVER. Do NOT come here if you are more serious of a bowler. Like others have said there was quite literally ZERO oil on the lanes, and I am not exaggerating when I say that. Completely threw off my party?s game. Also something to be aware of, they utilize string pins. I know that's controversial but I am personally not a fan of how that affects the pin?s physics. If you're

We had our kiddos birthday party there and it was great! Only issue was I paid for a kids buffet which ended up being a lot of food. When the kids were done eating some of the parents began to graze on what was leftover (which was a lot) and because of that they charged us $90 more which was pretty ridiculous. The party itself already almost cost $400 so that didn't feel very good. If we had ended up needing or ordering additional food I would have totally understood but it was food that was literally alrea

We had a really fun time here. The ambiance is amazing and there's a large bar area. We didn't order any food, but the menu looked extensive. Lots of burgers and shareables. There was a server who came to our lane several times to make sure we were doing well. I didn't experience anything wrong with the service. The staff at the desk when you walked in were very friendly and knowledgeable. We're looking forward to coming back.

This location is outstanding; the staff is exceptional, and Lauren, the General Manager, does an excellent job. I highly recommend this bowling alley for special events and birthdays. The food is also fantastic.

We recently booked a party here for our child's birthday and everything was great. The staff was amazing and so friendly, and the manager (I forgot his name) was the sweetest ever. I loved how much attention to detail we received over the entire time, and I was floored because that just was not service I was expecting for a bowling alley (or any other establishment that catered to kids parties) On top of that, booking the party was incredibly easy and flexible to update if needed thanks to the event coord

We went with our profoundly autistic grandson and they were very supportive

Absolutely a fantastic place. Summer pass is incredible. Food is great! Atmosphere is awesome! Excited about finding Bowlero and can't wait to come back.!

The manager Andy I believe was immaculate! Our lane waiter Chad was absolutely amazing! Great vibes very clean and great atmosphere. When I submitted the reservation online I left a special request and asked for a wall lane if possible and they did it which made me feel comfortable important :) love this place

Came here last night for my birthday!! Was so fun, great price, fantastic atmosphere. The technology on the lands is great too. The bumpers go up and down as needed for bowlers you select. Thanks!

Waxed lanes!! Good fun for everyone with pretty good food. Arcade is a little lackluster but I doubt anyone's going just for that. Biggest problem is the lack of light on the lanes, I cannot see the alignment marks. All in all a great place.

Great new, clean bowling & arcade areas. Great for games or kids bdays

Location is nice and the staff is very friendly I think service is a 10/10 but the food here is bad I love the Oreo shakes but everytime I order here I literally get chocolate milk lol I thought it was a one off of it being completely melted but it happened the next time I ordered it. Arcade gift machine is always down too but other than that it's a great location!

Good vibes, good crowd, good game! LOVED this place!

This place has a great ambiance but the service is absolutely horrible. Mistakes on bills, servers who don't know the menus, and 20+ minutes in between check ins when we were the only table in the section. The food was extremely oily, there were 2 difference brands of chicken in our tender basket. This place really needs to get their act together if they're going to justify their prices.

Was there briefly for my granddaughters 9th birthday, it turned out great! She absolutely loved it. It was 2 hours of watching her completely enjoy herself. She and her girlfriends had a great time bowling, laughing, and tearing up the arcade. The only complaint I had was that the arcade was not only expensive, but it took 75 tickets just to get a 25-cent plastic ring. Other than that, I'd say it was a perfect birthday party. There was plenty of free parking, the food was totally amazingly delicious! She/we

Had a happy hour with office colleagues, very big place, many bowling lanes, Nice atmosphere. They have game arcade for kids too. Food is also good.

Friendliest staff!!! Kept very clean, no wait (went on a Sunday), good food. It is very well kept and has beautiful and fun decor! My only gripe is the price - as a family of 5, it was very expensive to bowl, but I'm sure you're paying for all the compliments I gave above! Definitely recommend!

Listen!! The staff is incredible. This was my first time at Bowlero. I only came for a company holiday party, but I was blown away by staff, from the bartender, shoe rental, to the food service. The experience was 10/10. It was a reflection of their leadership, I'm sure, because once I met Macky (sorry if misspelled), I understood why! Not just me, but the patrons around me were given attention and care that really went above and beyond. I had so much fun thanks to the entire team here.

Had our company team building here today, amazing staff very friendly, attentive, everything was so clean and just perfect. Reservations were easy and quick to make. Dan came over throughout the event along with our attendant to make sure we have everything and everything was going perfect. Food was out on time and was delicious! We plan to have many more events here. Thank you everyone at North Scottsdale Bowlero and a special thank you to Dan!

I've been here countless times but our experience was extra special this afternoon. Thank you CJ! She was absolutely incredible her customer service went above and beyond. This young woman deserves a raise and promotion. She gave us the best service I've had anywhere in a long time... and we go out a lot. We love bowlero and again thank you CJ for making our experience so fun and special!!

This place is fantastic! Service was kind, attentive, friendly, and prompt! Even an hour before close the staff was ready to make sure we felt welcome despite the late hour and closing duties im sure they had to get done. Chad took amazing care of us on the lanes! This guy deserves a raise! TlDR: If you're looking for a great place to bowl a few games and get exceptional service with a smile.. Stop by, ask for chad, and have a great time. Thank you!

The place is nice clean , food ok . But they put their own tips on which is 15%. I didn't see that on my receipt when I got home. We were a family of 5. I thought when it's a group of 6 and up. Well I guess they have they own rules. Just heads up if you have 5 people they will take their own tips. So make sure you don't tips twice. Other than that . It's nice area to hang out

The service at the lanes was amazing! Not so much at the bar. The games were fun. Bowling was reasonable priced.

We came here for a team bonding (work) night of fun! The staff was so kind and always checking to see if we were doing ok. We ordered a pizza and the sample platter and it was awesome food, everyone enjoyed it! The whole team was very satisfied with our experience and we will definitely be coming back in the future! Would recommend highly if you are needing a cool place to hangout to get away from the heat!!

Visited on a weekday with 4 friends for the time to Bowlero. Had a great time playing bowling.

BEST BOWLING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!Bowling, arcades, live dj, bar, cool lights through out, what more can you ask for? Oh, and they also have this cool mustang.

The manager was very accomadating and understanding of our larger group reservation that turned into a small get-together. Satisfactory resolution for an issue they could have easily said, "Oh well." Staff were very attentive as well throught the visit.

Go to Groupon 24 hours before and get a steal of a deal!!!!! They have it for like 4 people for $65 pretty regularly!!! Lots of fun, nice and clean place to have fun!

Great atmosphere for casual bowling and arcade games, but unfortunately that's where the good ends. If you care much for bowling, this is not the place for you. The lanes are not properly taken care of and bone dry. My ball was the most scuffed I've ever seen it after only two games. Service was slow, drinks were not brought to us, they were just left on the bar to be picked up. I understand a busy night but this was not and was disappointing. Not worth the prices.

Helpful staff good place to send kids to have limited freedom.

We had two separate kid's birthday parties over the same weekend and both went great. The kids had a great time and the staff was amazing. It has been one of the best customer service experiences I have had since businesses have struggled to deal with staffing issues/shortages. At one point I approached a maintenance employee for help thinking he would direct me on who to speak with and instead of passing me off to someone else he handled my needs without a blink. Really great atmosphere and experience!

Came here with my family while we were visiting from California. Chad was our waiter, and he was THE BEST. Super positive and friendly, kept checking on us to see if we were ok, and was an absolute joy to be served by. Thank you Chad! We hope we have you waiting on us the next time we visit :)

Jose the bartender is the best of this place the attention he provides is of a very high level

Lanes are kept up and well oiled. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Could use more options for heavier balls with smaller finger holes but overall a great place to bowl!

I am not much of a bowler but it seems to be a really nice place. My only problem is the prices are extremely hot. For four of us. It cost cost us almost $100 for three games. That may be going price today but I thought it was very high. They have a bar and food which I've heard is also very expensive. There's a lot of TV screens up all around. And of course an arcade. I know my grandson and his friend enjoyed the place.

Fun times and great staff, 100% recommended

Enjoy this great bowling alley and good drinks!

Be careful and don't make a prepaid reservation unless you absolutely have to! There is no cancelation policy for any type of refund. You will find it easier to cancel a flight than with Bowlero. Also, make sure to check Groupon or you will get financially taken advantage of by booking directly with Bowlero in advance. Prices on Groupon are less than half what Bowlero will charge you directly. Very poor options.

Had a great time bowling and playing at the arcade. 2 hours of bowling is still too much for my kids though.

It was nice but the customer service needs lots of work. The man with dreads at the bar kept on disappearing to the point where the lady took it upon herself to give us our beer since the task was too hard for the person we ordered from. He also dropped the ball when my son ordered food. I did have a great time for Father's day but customer service needs work.

Dont have to be good at bowling to enjoy it! This is the best bowling alley I've ever been too. Great food + drinks!!!

We had an absolutely amazing party here today. The staff was absolutely amazing! Everyone was so friendly & helpful. Multiple parties going on at once, kids everywhere & their patience and attentiveness to both the kids & adults was top notch. Great job to the entire team. Thank you making Domenics birthday special!

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?

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.

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”
