Albertsons Bowling Alley is a fantastic spot for some fun and relaxation! The lanes are well-maintained, and the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The staff are friendly and always ready to help, and the food and drinks make the experience even better. Whether you're a seasoned bowler or just out for a good time with friends, this place is a hit!
Celebrated my daughter 16th birthday there with her closest friends they had a blast. Good food ( ordered and delivered right to our lanes),fantastic drinks , excellent customer service and full bar for me and my guests couldn't as for more we will definitely be back the vibe was real! Thanks for such a great time!
?????? THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME BOWLING HERE AND I HAD A BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH MY KIDDOS OUT CELEBRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONE OF MY UPCOMING BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THERE'S NEVER A DULL MOMENT WITH THIS CREW, THEY KEPT ME LAUGHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????????????? THE WHOLE TIME. THIS IS REALLY A VERY NICE BOWLING ALLEY WITH GREAT FOOD AND DRINKS. I'M LOOKING?????? FORWARD TO MAKING MANY MORE MEMOR
Sim offers some excellent service. He helped us buy some good food because we had some issues using the gift cards at the kiosk. He dropped what he was doing and fixed the tedious issue promptly. The nachos and other appetiser plate were excellent. The quality of this establishment could improve by offering a soda pitcher (or by making it easier to find on the kiosk) & Through some soundproofing in the periphery to lower the ambient noise.
Celebrated my sons 15th birthday with some of his soccer team mates. The boys had a blast and the food was really good. I don't know who they have in the kitchen cooking the chicken tenders but they are fire. The seasoning seems like a southern recipe, please don't change it!!! The service was great and staff was friendly, I like that the kids can play other games and arcades after bowling. My niece and mom took advantage of the opportunity to have fun. The only thing I didn't like was during the party some
It's a nice bowling alley and they have cheaper rates on sunday... If you want to avoid the crowds, kids and not have to wait for the league bowling, then I would suggest to go early in the day.. The only draw back is this place has lots of parties which means lots of kids.. I don't want to sound mean because I like kids but just not when I'm bowling... I specifically asked not to be placed in a lane where there were kids next to because the last time I was there, I was next to a birthday party and it w
The place is cute and well kept. However, CONFIRM THE COSTS OF YOUR DRINKS. They will overcharge if you don't specify or confirm costs. The drinks on the touch screen are different prices than the printed menu. I told the server I wanted to add on to my drink and showed her the paper menu said it was "an additional $5" and she said ok. When the bill came, I was charged an additional $13 for an add-on shot of CUERVO to a WELL margarita. UNREAL: So this one well-drink cost $23 I tried talking to the manage
Great place for bowling ?? ?? and they have specials for Birthday ?? parties. Staff is very friendly and always on top to provide the best experience. Highly-qualified and recommended for parties or special event. Thanks to the staff for the great service and enjoy your visit! Plenty of parking spaces in front and restrooms ?? available inside.
They throw nice bday parties with good amount of food. I think the bathrooms could be updated and cleaned better. Customer service isn't extraordinary but it is good/ decent.
I'm not into bowling, it's just not my thing. But my daughter wanted to go with a friend so we went to Bowlero in Torrance. It's close to the house so why not? Parking was a breeze because they have their own parking lot. When we entered, it was busy busy. We went on a Saturday and they were busy hosting several birthday parties. Which is totally understandable. We did have to put our name on the list and wait for a land to open up. Luckily, they have an arcade to entertain the kids while we wait. We waited
Me and my family like coming here. We always have a good time. We went on a Friday night to celebrate my son's birthday at around 7pm and it got busy! The waitress was nice. Food was ok. Security guards were out there like it was getting in a club lol I didn't think it was that serious ????? only thing I don't like is people were smoking in the bathroom. I don't want that around my kids..it is what it is..I'll come earlier I guess to avoid
Used a Groupon which is a great deal but for open play no oil on the lanes but if your using house equipment your fine but your more expensive equipment will become dirty and has a high chance of being damaged
My experience was okay. It wasn't the best experience. From the moment I walked in I was told I couldn't have my water bottle. Which I can understand that some people may sneak in other drinks. However, the staff wasn't friendly at all. From the cashier, to the server. When my family was bowling he was literally behind our lane just watching. Which made me feel uncomfortable, especially because he came around to tell us that if we wanted to order food or drinks on a tablet. Would I come here again? Nah.
Very nice bowling alley. So much to enjoy from Corn Hole and something like Beer Pong to Arcade Games...something for the entire family. The staff was amazing. Even the security made you feel welcome. Very clean and updated with ample seating. Nothing bad about the bowling facility.
I went for the drinks at the bar it was so good love the vibes there great staff
I had fun bowling but did not enjoy nor appreciate the rude staff. From the young sir checking us in at the front desk, to the very rude bartenders who treated my sister and I very poorly when placing our orders. I by no means expect to be treated like the queen of sheeba, but at the very least a base level of respect and professionalism goes a long way. When the friendliest people at the establishment is the security guards you have a huge problem. I too hate working customer service and I know it's a drai
Happy to say that it has been updated and cleaned up. Still in process of remodeling restrooms. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Suggest opening everyday at 10:30 am Sun - Sat.
Has a great special when you're on a budget. Good is always great. Salsa I lo e. The waitresses are nice and accommodating .
My GF had a work event here we had lanes 1-25 pretty cool food is average drinks are on point would recommend to have a good time
Beware of the 18% service fee on top of the separate tax on food and beverages. None of this goes to the server. You still have to tip. My bill was $61 for 3 margaritas and 1 order of garlic parmesan cauliflower. Other than that I had a great time Celebrating my nephew 25th ?? birthday
First of all they have outrageous prices! Shoe rental is expensive also. Pizza was nasty and beer was mid. I can see why it was empty. If it's empty why do they cramm Everyone together! The booth is not big enough to cramm everyone together. Ball selection is awful also. I don't recommend this place. The guy working in the front desk looked hungry and hangry. Not many places left to bowl so I just won't bowl anymore.
Was fun I wish it was more cheaper
It's too big and busy of an establishment for there to be only 2 restrooms. To top it off, they are unisex, and they were dirty.
Took the family and went back to Bowlero because I heard they remodeled. I don't remember how it looked before but overall looks mostly the same for me. This place has great vibes, clean, and the staff are friendly. Our family had a great time! I also notice the staff constantly wiping down seats and balls with sanitizers, great job guys! We will definitely be back here again, thanks Bowlero!
We were waiting for 3-4 hrs. Ask a bunch of times for a estimate time. But they would only say they didn't know. Until a guy told us that there was a bunch of resorved times. That it would be 2-3 hrs to be next.
Celebrated my niece's birthday...love how they spell the birthday person name in lighted letters, good food, polite staff, and pretty of fun both bowling and in the arcade.
Good place realy nice and realy cool just they didn't allow fursuits in there so I didn't play that nigth but anything else it's ok
The staff was very pleasant! However, booking a lane is pretty frustrating. We saw they had a 20% discount if you reserved a lane online. We wanted to pay hourly and we had our own shoes. The online option had a 1.5 hour lane reservation for $100, but did not have a selection for having your own shoes. Anyways, once we got to the actual establishment, we explained the situation and they said that we would have to call customer support to figure that out?!? So we just ask to do an hour and a half and they sa
Great place to go with fam n friends, affordable prices, and delicious and juice food full of flavor
Great place, good drinks and nice alleys. But when did it get to the point of $100 for 3 people to play 2 games?
The manager named Diego is very out of service. We used vouchers to add five. Two people paid for another lane, but they refused to give it to us for various reasons. They had a lot of lanes, but he said I didn't want to give you. He was really rude.
Great place for bowling. I like that they also have big screen tvs all over, arcade games and lots options to eat.
Great spot to bring friends and fam for some bowling and games. Was my first time here and was very clean and the lanes were nice and smooth. The beer and nachos hit the spot as well!
I loved bowling here. Had my sons party here. And it was perfect. The party host was awesome the managers were friendly the pizza was decent. But most of all the kids had an absolute blast. They have a little something for everyone. From bowling to a pool table to an arcade to a bar for the adults. This place gets really packed so I suggest making a reservation or going early. I will definitely be back for an adult night with friends. Thank you bowlero for helping make my sons special day the more memorable
Honestly, the worst experience I have ever had at an establishment. I went in around 5:40PM last Sunday for bowling. After paying, I went right to my designated lane. As I sat down on the couch, the family that sat right across from me said that the lane I got has not been working properly for other groups as well. So I got up and walked right to the front counter to check if the lane is operating correctly. The employee who I talked to was a tall, black guy that works at the front desk. And before I could
Leaving my review from a past experience.Went in a few months ago and the system for bowling glitches.The servers didn't write down the order so they would forget some of our food and drinks and we had to wait even longer. The staff told us they would give us extra games because the system was glitching for the games and 2 because of the food situations. Then there was a shooting! They didn't want to give a refund that because they don't charge your card unless the game started. But then again we never got
Don't use the restroom to the right ladies and don't order the pizza pr nachos it's nasty. Everything else like the drinks were great and machines were clean nice staff.
It was great a few technical difficulties with lanes but overall staff was attentive manager Chris helped us out a lot
Had a blast! I appreciate how clean this location was. And, the shoes didn't look like they should be thrown out instead of rented out. Great food! I had the cheesy bread sticks and nachos. The syrup to carbonated water ratio could be tweaked - the Pepsi was a bit sweet.
Had to get out the house and we decided to go bowling. Food was great and the bartender well let's just say the stress was gone in about ten minutes. Definitely will return lol! Oh I forgot to mention Kevonne was dope. He assisted me with everything I needed. From making sure we were enjoying ourselves to giving tips on making a strike. Such a memorable night out!
I was invited to a celebration for a friend's birthday, I tried to order a drink and food never got waited on the ones that did order food it took so long had to take it to go I may go back again on invite but never for myself I'll pass
It was a great 1st time experience. We went on a Thursday great crowd. Wait time was less than the 30mins they said ( always a plus) very helpful staff Inside and outside, and were happy to help, most of them anyway. The front desk guy was okay, a little sharp, assumptous( maybe not used to helping 1st timers), and not very personable, but he did his job, so okay. Over all a great experience, I would love to go back
Kevonne was great and so much help. We had a great amazing time and will definitely come again. Some of the best customer service we have had in a long time.
One of the better bowling experiences. The place is a former AMF (the shoes, bowling balls, and other things still have AMF logos printed on them) but is still a unique enough experience. Staff and service: Some are friendly and helpful, some aren't. So very hit or miss. Food: Actually pretty good, for a bowling alley. Drinks are made well. We rented multiple lanes and we got unlimited drinks while we bowled. Loved the idea and it worked well! Bowling: One of the best bowling experiences. The bowling bal
The food is good and warm. The restrooms are in the far left or far right.
Fantastic bowling center! I organized a group of 16 to bowl. The process was smooth, the food was great and the onsite staff were amazing. We are a lively bunch, that meets annually and always look for a place that has food, alcohol, and pins. Bowlero did not disappoint.
Fun place 2 go with family and friends
Visit Bowlero last weekend to celebrate my youngest son's birthday. We enjoy a lot, however, the CSR does not want us to use 2 lanes, so we can play more. We are five person and alternately we play. If the CSR allow us to use two lanes, it is more enjoyable. A single lane always pause you to get into action. We don't order food this time since we just ate before we come here. Overall visit 4/5. ??????
The staff/customer service was outstanding. Pizza was good and the chicken tenders were great. Our server outstanding, very pleasant and professional. The Birthday Girl and party had a wonderful time. Will be returning. Thanks!
The manager and staff were so helpful and constantly checked on our party. I honestly thought it was going to be rowdy crowd because of things you hear on the news with bowling alleys. But it was great. We had 5-7pm reservations and it was a family friendly environment. I wish I remembered everyone's name but it really was everyone working that was super attentive on 6/22/24.
Got invited for a birthday party. I love the atmosphere, the energy and especially the food. Staffs are friendly. I highly recommend it.
Our time here was well spent. We went for Fathers Day. The staff was informative and friendly. It was not crowded like Gable House in Torrance seems to be nowadays. The prices were fair for everything (food, socks, shoes). We had a good time. We would definitely go back. It does look a bit more run down than the new one in Westchester.
It was fun! The food was good and they have enough staff members to keep the place clean .
Irene, the waitresses, was cordial, fast, and friendly. Regarding the menu, pricey!
Place was a lot better once you're inside. It's pretty nice! Got the groupon. Not too busy around 5pm on a Saturday. Beer was a lot! Bathrooms were gross. Other then that, pretty fun!
We had some, it's better to walk in than to do online. Was more expensive online than walk in. We went after Christmas. Will return
Good time. Food is good but really overpriced.
Me and my husband came to the bowling alley to relax a little bit big shout out to all the bartenders at the bowling alley the drinks were fantastic went home and passed out they got some good food up there too you just got to ask the bartender
Very fun place and staff was amazing in helping out w the keyboards on bowling.
Large bowling alley, but the seat layout is very poor. In groups of 5+ it gets really cramped and hard to talk to one another. The place felt very dirty and poorly maintained. Bowling balls were disgusting - I had some black gunk stuck to my fingers after. Lanes were not entirely level. Several times, pins were missing after being set down. They play distracting shows and ads on massive TVs right behind the lanes, really spoils the vibe. Food was average but pricey. I struggle to recall a single positive ab
Came here on a Sunday night with my siblings. The food was good, drink wrre not too strong, and that's ok with me. I had a great time, and they closed at 12am on the dot. Good music too!
It's a good bowling alley. Could use better maintenance... some lanes have dead spots or are warping. The ball return and control stations/keyboards are worn. The machines are slow. The arcade and bar are fun and offer lots of different games. Drinks are expensive. There's also a small pro shop. The food is a bit pricey, yet fantastic. It's worth noting that the garlic fries are among the best I've ever tried. And lastly, the staff is helpful and friendly.
Okay spot, nothing special though
First time bowling here. It's was nice. Food and drinks was decent.
TLDR: Rude front desk lies about wait times. After signing in with the QR code, the dude working at the front desk was incredibly rude after asking for an estimated wait time for a lane. After being told that it would be two hours, we decided to leave. About 20 minutes later I got a text stating that a lane was ready. I've never been to a place that seemed like it didn't want my business as much as this.
went for the arcade. fun place, drinks could be cheaper (~$15 for the mug cocktails) since all they are is soda water and liqueurs. game selection in the arcade is low to medium cool. they have the classics: skeeball, hoops, air hockey.. and a couple things you can punch/kick to get points which was fun. the bartender was a cool guy and the vibe was chill. I couldn't find the billiards if there are any (sometimes they're in a separate room and I only quickly scanned the place). Thenticket prizes are typical
Extremely slow service. Staff member asked what I wanted to drink, picked up the cup and bottle, but then proceeded to take care of two other people before finally coming back to me. Blatantly letting people skip in line at the bar did not feel good and was unprofessional. Another patron in line behind me agreed. The bartender didn't even seem to care that we were not happy about this disrespectful act
Nice bowling place. Friendly and helpful staff. Attentive if a lane gets "stuck. However, Lane 1 specifically at least has pin registration issues. It will miscount or incorrectly register which pins got hit. Played 4 games today, issues arose with all players across all 4 games. Bummer when you get multiple spares but only see a 9 score. Otherwise, a fun time for all!
Nice evening! Facilities decent, easy to use tech, server at lane helpful. Expensive for what it is? 34 per person to bowl PLUS a $15.28 event fee?! We booked online, entered got shoes went to lane?.hmmm. See it as cash grab and makes it too expensive for what you get. Understand charging for things but feel this is too much. Enjoyed my time with family there but not a good value.
The staff was very pleasant and kept on checking in with us since we had made a reservation. I have to say though that bowling has gotten very expensive. Shoe rental itself was $27 for three of us. That's a bit much. $9 for shoe rental is something that didn't set with me that well. The waitress was very accommodating and made us feel special. All in all, my children and I had a great experience.
First time here, we did have problems with our lane but Management was very receptive to our needs and compensated us and move us to a new one. Some might consider the crowd here little ghetto from appearancs but ultimately the people were very nice, not rowdy or anything despite how busy it was. It was nice to see a setting with such an eclectic mix of people and of different ages. Enjoyed myself, facilities were decent. Drinks were good and pizza was decent. Ultimately everything was reasonable for the co
I strongly recommend that you DO NOT get a Groupon for this establishment. We have tried 4 times to use it with no success and now we cannot get a refund on Groupon. You are NOT able to make reservations ahead of time with a Groupon. So we tried to show up right when it opens-didn't work. We tried later in the evening in the middle of the week-couldn't bowl. We tried waiting it out-over two hours and still no success. Please note that 60% of their lanes are available. The service is subpar-they always seem
Terrible customer service and weird waiting list system.
I didn't get a chance to bowl. And it's Not because we were on the wait list. That's to be expected when you go with no reservation, I guess -I wouldn't know, as this was my FIRST time here. But the girl working the desk was RUDE AF. I wish I got her name, it was on a Saturday afternoon maybe around 1p-2p . She had Dark hair. I asked questions, as a first timer would and she had THEE worst attitude when she responded. I literally had to tell her it was my 1st time and to please have patience. NOPE still
I came here for a field trip and it was really fun. The place was clean. The fries was so good aswell. The place is really nice to go to with friends.
Kevonne I had such an amazing time for my birthday. When I walked in the door I wasn't too sure, but I left out very very happy and satisfied. I cannot wait to come back again. I started out with a party of four and I ended up with a party of 12 after I called all my friends to come through, this place is amazing. I will recommend it to anybody and I will definitely be back on Monday. I got.
This would definitely be my last time going here. Service was terrible at the bar (ordered a drink and the bartender look like ahe was in training made my drink too sweet and made it again and i had less in my glass then the 1st time and she over charged me ($46 for a double shot drink) and gave me back $3 and someone had to come give her $10 to give to me, i asked for a manager, got my drink made again which was better and questioned my original pricing which had 2 different prices so i ended up gettin $12
Bowlero seemed a little short staffed this day but Angie the bartender/server took great care of our family. She was extremely nice and attentive! An excellent experience overall and a good time!
Lively atmosphere. Great game options besides bowling. The only thing holding it back from 4 stars would be the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I will say it's probably a difficult task with the crowd of people there.
Had an "okay" experience here. Greeting and desk service was very good. Nice employees. Food way better than expected. We liked the dry wings and garlic fries. Pizza was okay for the kids. Server was very friendly and attentive. The downside came when a pin somehow ended up on our lane and when we hit the "call attendant" button, we waited a good 10 minutes without an attendant coming. We eventually went to the front desk who helped us immediately. Have to mention, it wasn't busy at the time. Also, a lot of
Great place for the entire family and the food was good too. Fast service and they come to your lane which is nice.
Very friendly ?? and clean....Had a great time with my family... We
Nice bowling alley if you can get a lane. They told us it was a one hour wait... but two and a half hours later we left without bowling. That was after spending hundreds of dollars on food and drinks and arcade machines waiting. There were five open lanes and multiple groups that were still hanging out at a lane after they had stopped bowling for an hour - but we still couldn't get a lane. Do not come here without a reservation.
Very nice and patient staff clean place good hot food and great drinks
Can't really say much, just an OK experience. Staff was polite n very helpful. Had about an hour or so wait for a lane but nothing too extensive. I'd visit again
Of course it's loud but yet service was fantastic and even the interactions with the staff weren't boring and just tried to make the stay better. Was a bit confusing to set up the game but it's fun and it doesn't feel disgusting or old like how it used to be. Food was good not saying fantastic but it's nice after a decent meal. Bar has a good amount of choices which is nice aswell. Would recommend if one you got the time to just have fun with friends and family it's worth it. They've really fixed it up whi
Went bowling with my coworkers as a reward. We spent four hours eating pizza ?? and wings ?? and ?? bowling having a great time.
shanya and mariann helped me out, thanks guys
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.
