Staff get 5 stars that's why overall rating is 2 stars. The location gets 0 stars. I went there today and it was super hot. I bowled one game before I started to get warm. After the second game, I was super hot and just wanted to finish the game with my wife. The owner needs to invest in the building and upgrade the AC system. Will not be returning to this location. The manager was very apologetic and I told her that the staff was super friendly and appreciated them.
Do not go to this bowling alley. They will tell you they have lanes open when they actually have nothing open. It is a scandal and a shame that they would treat their customers as well as employees the way they do. It's a shame that it's like that, but that is how sketchy the bowling alley is here what's even better is half. The lanes are not even being used because they are claimed as broken pathetic excuse for a bowling alley. I would not suggest my worst enemy going here The manager does not care and wil
THANK YOU to GM Melissa and her crew especially Alisha (our server) for taking care of my crew and I. We really appreciate everything you all did for us. My team had an amazing time as always. The service you and your team provided was A1. We loved the upgrade and cannot wait to return for some more fun. Keep up the great work! See you all real soon.
Fun place to bowl! The bartender Madison was very helpful and nice. She recommended some fantastic food and drinks for us and we had a great time. Whether for bowling, food and drinks, or some pool, we'll definitely be back!
Nice they stay open late. Arcades for kids and teens, adults too. Pretty good. I need to try food next time.
The photos on the website need to be updated. The seating at the lanes are horrible. People in the lanes around you have to violate your space to leave and it is not very comfortable. The prices are very very high. If they were open earlier it would be easier for open bowling without having to reserve. It's hard to get info on the website for cosmic bowling and when my wife called no one answered. It was just a generic message on a loop
The place is clean and the guy at the front was extremely nice but it was really hot in there and with a lot of people in one place it got very stuffy. We came here on a Thursday
Such a fun place to go bowling. Staff is kind, and place was clean. I personally didn'tcare for the food, but my nephews loved it and the drinks were good.
Pretty good experience all around. Food was decent, hostess kept the drinks full the entire time we were bowling. Wasn't too expensive for 5 people on a random Tuesday night. Can't wait to take the kids back.
Not family friendly, Kim was absolutely rude and accused our group of stealing. We paid for 4 people to play but had 5 people and told them so she sold us another pair of shoes and said only 4 people at a time can play. So we played one game and then I removed 2 people from the group and added my little nephew. So first game was 4 people playing and second game was 3 people playing. She comes to us and says she doesn't appreciate us trying to trick her. How? On top of everything she tried to threaten us
Went on 5/25/25 arrived @ 7pm to get the unlimited bowling special which starts @ 7pm its for $17.99 ( 4 hrs max ) per person shoes included no online reservations you have to go in and check in. We Wanted to do cosmic bowling starts @ 8pm so a little after 8 i ask about what time it starts and apparently it was already happening . I highly don't recommend this place for cosmic bowling at all you will be disappointed. Had the chicken tenders and fries service was quick hot and good no complaints. So w
Manager goes above and beyond for anyone who comes threw the doors. BOWLERO San Bernardino has been a pillar to the community and offers wonderful family entertainment at a reasonable price food wise, I recommend a sampler platter or the cheeseburgers. Yummmm 4 Fun.
This place is the absolute worst get rid of the manager Greg cause he was rude as hell! Don't have no patience to be in the front!!! I came earlier at 245 to ask about the bowling to see if we would be able to bowl and the two young girls in the front said yes did not tell me about reserving a lane if their was leagues coming no nothing so now I'm 15 people deep and I get here he tells me there is nothing he can do! That's gas and everything I just did like when I say I am so mad and upset at the way they d
This was my first time in a bowling alley in over a decade so I'm no expert but I will say that it had a great vibe. They have pool tables and video games as well. The people there seemed nice and the girl working there was on it attending to everyone's needs. My cousin Manny invited me and he was definitely enjoying himself. I was unable to bowl myself because my thumbs are still recovering from Yakuza Like A Dragon blisters. If you like that game or bowling give this review a like!!!
Great place to go and have a good time. Loved the music selection; just needed to be a little bit louder. Food is very affordable and so are the games. San Bernardino get up and get down here for a family night out. Kids will have fun and so will YOU!!!!
I'm going to put my updated review on the top so the positive is read first. However I do not recent my previous review as it still stands accurate. I'm updating to 5 stars for the following reasons... I gave the regional manager the opportunity to hear my concerns and they addressed my concerns exactly as they promised to. I bowled another tournament today at this house and every lane got the same conditioning from 1-32. I'm not going to say if it's a good or bad pattern. Or if it's a wet or dry pattern. M
This is not far the worst bowling alley I've been to. The staff were nice but everything else was awful. The parking lot is 50% pothole. The lane approaches were FILTHY. I put my most grippy heel on my slide shoe and it was like someone threw baby powder or rosin all over the place. I couldn't even tell you whether or not the lanes hooked more or less than others because I was throwing the ball like 4mph slower than normal because I couldn't even slide. I can't imagine ever bowling a tournament or league a
Everything was good and all but the only reason we went was to celebrate my nephews bday...they didn't let us come in with a cake . Who has a bday with no cake ??
Clean and everyone else was super nice. It was a great time. Thank you
This place is awesome! Great bowling alley. It is super clean inside, and the staff are so nice. The managers came by multiple times and made sure things were going good. Great experience, I will be back!
The absolute best bowling alley you can find. A true hidden gem! Everything is new, the food is AMAZING (complements to the chef) and the staff and GM are so kind! Definitely come here if your looking for a good time!!
20 lanes down. Customer service in San Bernardino is pathetic. I will never again come to this establishment. TERRIBLE!!!!
Great for families. The drinks and food are reasonably priced and delicious! The facilities are pretty clean as well and staff were all helpful.
First time here...nice famiy night. Had to wait 30 mins for a lane. The Bartender was awesome...but the shift leader was horrible. Spoke to me in a rude tone and had terrible customer service skills. This woman nearly yelled at my 2 small children to the point that they wanted to leave. She then waved her hand in my face and spoke loudly as she asked if I was listening to her. Due to that experience...we will never come here again!
Over priced food and experience. Food was Very very salty. Customer service was one star at best. What they call a bar was laughable. Half the drinks on the menu they don't have and that's after you wait 45 minutes for anybody to even work the bar. People were standing there waiting and just leaving. I had to go BACK to the front of the alley and have him page the bar person. TACKY. Especially since it's already over priced there. After the food raises your blood pressure from being drowned in salt and t
Love Bowlero Bernardino, Melissa the manager is amazing, Alisha is awesome and is always on top of getting you a refill. Mayra and Yvette at the bar are always on top of the drinks. Great place to have a family night or a first date.
Haven't been here in a couple years and it has since been updated to be more modern with couches at the lanes and bigger food menu.
Great time Great food service. Lots fun .
Went to Arrowhead with the intent to create a day of bowling for my group of retired buddies. Bowled 4 games. However every time I got a strike or spare the scoreboard reflected 9 or a miss. I mentioned it to staff that blew me off. When I went to pay mentioned it to the cashier that acknowledged the system was glitching. But, took my money for all 4 games like everything was a 100%. As a business owner don't do shady business. Tell me upfront that it's subpar. give me credit or coupon for free game
The manager at this bowlero is so friendly Melissa has a great staff she has turn this place around and she is in favor of the league bowlers not just for open bowlers thanks Melissa
This place is looking pretty rundown. Our lanes had bumpers that wouldn't go down and keys that won't work. The food is all junk but the pizza was like cardboard and the wings were jello. The bar and game area was decent but that's not why people go here! Lots of room for improvement.
Went here to bowl with my friend and the machine broke on us 2 times. Will definitely not go here again
I had fun. Just we made a reservation and they give priority to those who buy online. Its ok don't get me wrong but the guy on the phone could've gave us that advice instead of waiting for almost 2 hrs. Also they should Step up sanitizing the shoes after every use .Some lysol maybe ?????
PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU?RE CONSIDERING GOING HERE. They will tell you they charge 9.99 per game! All their screens will say it!!! Then at the end when you go to pay they say per person!!! It ended up being 140$ for 3 bowling games for 4 people!!! That's a SCAM!!! These people are thieves please do not go here, every other bowling alley I've ever been to is like 40$ for unlimited games for any amount of people!! They also charge out the ass for beer! WORST BOWLING ALLEY EVER! TERRIBLE SERVICE! HORRIBLE PLACE
I had a blast!!! Nice full bar, a couple pool tables and plenty of bowling lanes. Check it out!
They put in replacement benches (well used). They are NOT set up for bowlers! Half the lanes you don't even sit with the people on your same pair (you sit back-to-back). Who ever designed this should be fired!
Went to a tournament there my husband was in. The lanes at the foul line were warped. The lanes need to be replaced and bowling alley need to be updated. My husband is a decent bowler and doesn't drop or dribble the ball. The lanes he was on seamed to have a lift on them at the foul line, because as he would throw the ball it would bounce at the line and then again on the lane
Melissa is awesome !! And so are her employees !! They treat our consumers with so much respect and always make sure they have a good time. The upgrades are amazing!! Very clean!! And there food is great!!
Bad customer service here, had a seat at the bar asked the waitress if she could put in ESPN on t.v told me to ask the front desk instead of her doing it. Went to the front desk to ask and the guy working there said the t.v were on a set schedule and he needed to ask the manager before changing the channel. Ask if he could ask and said he was busy at the moment. Such a bogus answer if their lazy just say so instead of giving of saying these ridiculous excuses. Walked out glad I didn't spend one penny here,
If i could put zero stars ! Went this last Friday & worst experience ever there was a drunk girl in there screaming acting crazy they couldn't not contain the situation! The AC must have not worked because it was super hot in there ! Last but not Least my card was charged twice ! I called twice to try and speak to manager or someone In charge both times they couldn't find them they took my number down informed me I would receive a call back to correct this mistake however NEVER received a call back ! I ga
We came here Sunday and it was awesome. All the staff were very friendly and the food was amazing and a really good price. We had a great time and will definitely be back!
Staff is very nice, helpful and friendly. Pro shop operator was very knowledgeable. Never really had an issue with the lanes, but it loses a star because every time I go it's about 85 degrees in there. Does the air conditioning work? I was much more comfortable at Fontana and Rancho locations not sweating lol
Great customer service , the food was great ...with family time you can't go wrong, also I'm surprised the bathroom was well kept clean great job everyone keep up the good work
Great special 17.99 unlimited on Sunday from 7pm to 11pm
Although this Bowlero isn't in the best of neighborhoods, the inside atmosphere more than makes up for it! The staff is very friendly, kind, and genuine. It was clean and well kept! I would definitely go again!
Just bowl on lane 7 and 8 for league tonight for 5 hours. Our ball got stuck in the machine waited 15 to 20 minutes just to wait. Happened to us 4 times today. We were the last one to leave the bowling alley than everybody else. All our balls has scratch and it got dirty it was so hard to clean them. Didn't leave the bowling alley until 11 at night. And we started bowling at 6:30
I like this old bowling alley, with a newly remodeled lane area. It reminds me of the 60s-70s-80s looks.
Very friendly front desk woman that works at opening time (2pm). Made the experience feel personalized and I enjoyed my time there. I also found a 13lb house ball that I hadn't seen at other Bowleros. It was fun to use, moving from a 12.
We had our team soccer party here last night and everyone had such a good time! Booking the party through corporate went smoothly. Christina helped me, and she was kind and knowledgeable. The managers at the front were great, Melissa and Kim. They were so so sweet and extremely helpful. I bought a party package and it worked out great. The kids had 2.5 hours to bowl, a $5 game card to use at the arcade, endless drinks, and plenty of food. The food options were great and tasty. We even had food left over, wh
I am the male spouse, Sheryl is listed as the contact on this web site. I am a retired professor of astronomy so I am not too stupid. So far I see that all of the answers or replies by the "owner" are all the same which leads me to believe that an artificial intelligent type of machine is answering all of the complaints or concerns. Probably the same at all of the Bowlero centers across the nation. That is proof positive that a machine is running all of your inquiries or requests. To the person who wants th
It Was My First Time Coming To This Location, I Enjoyed Myself Very Much. The Staff Was Very Nice An Kind Also While Maintaining A Clean Environment.
First time there, overall very nice classic bowling spot. Went on a busy Friday night with a group of friends, seems like they have a very strong adult bowling community not many kids. Cool arcade as well. The staff was nice and helpful. I'd say the biggest con for me was the price something over $35 for 2 hours per person. Don't know if that's normal in this area or not. Would recommend checking it out
First off the food was terrible. They put two drips of buffalo sauce on the chicken it's supposed to be buffalo wings. Also, they CUT us off our to our game exactly on the MINUTE even though we were 80% done with the game they couldn't let us finish the game but they came and cut us off plus their video area was so filthy. It had not been wiped or sterilized is more than a while fingerprints everywhere. The customer service was good. They were nice and they brought the food but other than that.
It was my first time back here in over 10 years. There have been some improvements or renovations. But at the same time, it hasn't really been kept up with its maintenance. From what I observed, his place has a lot of potential. Outside of that, the price is great, the staff was friendly and helpful. They offer adult beverages and snacks. Good place to bring the family and kids, I will definitely be back to this place, and I recommend it if you live close by.
went with a group after not bowling for years, very fun! glad they were open late. punching bag machine wasn't working :/ paid around $25 for two games and shoes
The upgraded bowling experience was great! The atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Book ahead for deals online
This place may not be the most updated bowling alley, but it is surrounded with friendly staff and nice customers. Its a mixture of people who attend this location.
Was just @ San Bernardino location, lane 32 Customer service was beyond our expectations!!! Front desk guys were amazing!!! Food was great, service @ our table & all our needs met. We also, received direct invite back? sent over by management. Definitely returning with entire Family again
Great Deals Lots of fun. Not gonna lie I was scared to go in at First But Employee's were nice and Helpful and Women at Front counter was Amazing ...
Awesome place! The lady at the counter yesterday was great with my son who loved the arcade while I threw some games. I like how there's tables by the alleys.
The service was great, this was our first time here and the staff really took care of our party. Kids had a great time as well. Very clean and nice at up at the lanes. The adult area could stand a makeover. More pool tables and darts and separation from the arcade.
Had a great time grandson bithday
We went on a Sunday night and it was packed but our wait time and price were reasonable. We only waited 20 mins and played arcade games in the mean time. We did experience some technical difficulties: balls not coming back, one side rail malfuntioning, scores incorectly counted. However, the staff helped us get back to our game quickly and overall it was a fun night.
I like the space the seating the bar the arcade The only thing indigent like it's that I kept smelling cigarette smoke once in a while It's safe n clean prices are prices r reasonable
Very rude and the lane kept breaking down
We had a little birthday party for my son and were impressed with the service and hostess. The food was also decent, and it was kept hot. The manager, check-in representative, and hostess were excellent. The only suggestion I have is to put out hand sanitizer dispensers. Overall, we are happy with our experience, and we will be returning!
We had Fun bowling food & drinks all u could eat was cool BUT ??OMG THE Music Videos too EXPLICIT ???????????? A woman licking a man's chest going down to his legs in their thong Bikinis. I had my young Kids there, many other kids there too. The Music Videos ?? Need to be WAY more toned down, theres plenty music Videos that are available ??NOT NASTY PORNY???? Videos Mangement Please be more aware of the under age Audience
Brought my nephews here after having gone to the bowlero in rancho which by far a better atmosphere. You can't buy a pitcher of soda by itself can't get a pitcher of water. Thought about having a party here but not much for those who don't want to bowl to do. Rancho has a better food menu and activities. The staff is very nice.
I loved it! They had a place for everyone. My 18 month old daughter was having fun on the arcade, my.husband was getting a drink at the bar, and my 16 yr old son and our family had a good time bowling.
The last time I came here was years ago. I looks much better than before. Nachos looked bomb, but weren't as good as I though. Garlic fries were good
It is very expensive. Update 8th June 2025 Not that expensive any more. But the food quality is dropped!
We had so much fun. Melissa was our hostess and she was very attentive and sweet. The food was good and the price was reasonable. The front clerk Dean was very nice and courteous. The kids had a blast. I definitely will book another party again.
Very unprofessional and racist service. 0 stars would NOT recommend!! I tried to get a birthday drink for my friend and the bar staff told me I already been there and didn't provide my ID which was in my purse then they preceded to tell me they won't serve me because I came in and tried to order earlier. We just came from a birthday dinner so they had me confused with another black women and denied me even after I explained we all just arrived. When I spoke to the manager that was present at the time he sai
Great fun. The ladies were great, gave my granddaughter her own bowling pin.
Great place to play pool and air hockey besides bowling ??
I had a blast ..totally loved it ..so much to do definitely recommend this place for all ages
Overhead speakers weren't working so no music, cosmic light weren't working which I didn't care but someone mentioned it. Bathrooms need some updating. Place is a little run down compared to other Bowlero locations
Don't think I'd come here again. This place is old, needs some updating to do. My family and I came here about a week ago and I brought in a water bottle and apparently NO water bottles are allowed? Are you serious? OK fine, they had a bar- I can go order it at the bar, right? My family member went to go order 1 water and 1 alcoholic beverage? she was there for 30 MINUTES, waiting! Are you kidding me? That's just plain sad. By the time she came back, 1 round was over. Now, another family member had a water
My sister wanted to come hang out for her birthday. My sister, her gf and I arrived before the rest of the party to grab a drink and food. Upon entering the eating area, it was dark, and we weren't greeted. We sat there for about 10 mins before the bar tender came over with the menu. We immediately ordered our drinks and asked what she'd recommend. She immediately said not to get anything with chilli because it wasn't good. We took her word for it. So we ordered wings, fries, and tacos. After about 30-40 mi
Very Nice place , My family and I had a great night out .
I went to bowl yesterday with my sister and a group of friends and the manager Melissa screamed at my sister in front of everyone. Her customer service is very unprofessional and her screaming at a customer in front of her party is just rude.
Very disappointed with how rude the staff was specially kim ( red head). She had a bad attitude for no reason. Like if she owned the bowlero. The assistance Manager was being suspicious with us ordering drinks. I didn't like how we couldn't be at the bar while she made our drinks. Overall they were definitely giving san bernardino vibes. Forsure never going there again. Also most of the arcade games didn't work.
Overpriced and not worth it, manager is a large white man and was EXTREMELY rude and disrespectful. He was SO rude to me, my sister and our kids. We were just trying to take our kids out for a fun day. Young lady who works the front with glasses told us its $4 an hour for the pool table, turns out it was $15 an hour! And when confronted in front of the manager, of course she denied everything. And when we told him that we were told a different price, he pretty much screamed at us to either pay it or he will
Great place great staff. Fun game room. I got BEST RECORD ON SPACE INVADERS lol. Only thing I recommend is the air conditioner..its not broken its just when it gets packed in there you start to feel the heat a bit.
Today is my daughter's 17th birthday and the main thing she wanted was to go bowling. When we arrived there were many open lanes open and not a huge crowd. We were told the wait would be 30 minutes possibly 45 or more due to a waiting list. Ordinarily I would have understood had the last time we went I hadn't been treated in a very prejudiced way. The heavy Caucasian lady at the front desk started whispering & pointed at us then sent this guy to tell us it was gonna be a very long wait. I am not one to pull
Expensive AF! Used to come here when it was Arrowhead Lanes. It was a little run down, but a fun night out. Now Bowlero has taken over and it does look nicer, but prices have skyrocketed. Not the casual night out it used to be. There is also an 18% Service Charge added to all food brought to lanes. After seeing my bill I won't be back. Try and find more affordable options for a night out.
Been going here for a long time. The beer sucks, always flat and warm even from the tap, but its beer. They need a security guard at all times and never seem to care enough to put the money out for one. But the service is good, and the lanes are taken care of.
Don't recommend this alley, they hardy oil their lanes, the drinks are over priced. Food is horrible. I'm part of a league and wasn't allowed to use my league games after 8, was put on the waiting list at 730 and got called up at 8 so my league games weren't available. Zero stars
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.
