Customer Reviews

Great local place to bowl, or have a kids birthday party. Party prices are starting to get a little high for what is offered. But clean facility friendly staff.

Bud was awesome! Great drinks. Burger was outstanding! Don finally got his Christmas lights up. Life is good

Went here by a recommendation from our hotel. Had a drink in the evening. Were told about the breakfast. Decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. My husband and I shared the chicken fried steak with eggs, hashbrowns and toast. Delicious! The steak was juicy with a perfect crust. We recommend giving them a try.

I bowl in a league and it is great fun. People are great. It's a great way to meet and make friends.

Cody at Aftershock is a great server with an amazing personality. She does her job very well and efficiently. I could not have asked for a better server/bartender!

Great atmosphere and low key. Nice to unwind with ease. Staff is beyond helpful and it was clean. Something for everyone here. Would recommend.

Love the people - Staff is awesome - Always a good time - ?? ??

We bowled 2 games and $10 in the arcade for 3 people with pizza and beer it came to about $85. Fun family night for sure!

Only been there once but was a fun time! Love the boxing machine! Pool tables, beer pong machine also. Seems to be a legit place to hang and have a few drinks, maybe watch a game or if it suits you, play one!

Cody at Aftershock is such a hard worker and deserves a raise. She works so hard and is always providing the best costumer service, making sure everything is cleaned up and everyone is taken care of.

Great atmosphere, roomy, lots of seating, and easy access dance floor. Staff is welcoming and spot on.

Hands down the best wings in Klamath Falls! $1 wings Fridays. Bud and all bar tenders were really attentive. This will become my favorite place quickly!

Great place to stop for lunch, burgers are excellent and delivered in a time that makes it an quick & easy stop for lunch. Staff is great. 2-23-24- Aftershock came through again. They allowed our company to host an awesome monthly party. Staff took care of us, and the drinks are definitely priced right.

They had a DJ on Friday night starting at 9pm on top of that happy hour prices $$$$ great crowd good mix of top 40 music fun mixed crowd

The website had no information useful price schedule just promotes parties an about useless information for those traveling here want spend the nite go find friday league nite clean Lotta games Pizza is horrible an thats from anyone who had a birthday there If allowed, food would still have cash flow from games pop, etc.. so if yourbplaning a birtday eat before or after

Service is not the best! Had to go to counter and ask for Service

Hadnt been here in quite awile. Had a tasty and relaxing afternoon lunch date with my son. Good burgers good fries. Good service! Didnt bowl jus came to eat thank you! Tasty!

I was only there for a second didn't try the food or anything

Very dark, but pretty fun, music and sports being projected on the walls, they usually have a live local band once it twice a month. The floor is weirdly uneven for chairs though

The cook makes tons of stuff from scratch, that food is pretty darn good!

The seating and atmosphere is bloody awful. It's too bad because it is a great space and it has the potential to be so much more. Went specifically to watch a ducks game and to eat. You'd think they would be prepared with extra staff and seating. Didn't get a chance to try the food, since there wasn't any service. Hire a consultant and try again.

It's probably the largest Restaurant, Bar, Gaming Room, and Video games, and of course Bowling alley in Southern Oregon. Food is way above most Bowling Alley's, Breakfast is awesome and lunch menu is to, don't forget ?? I mean real pizza. And I don't know how many TVs for all the Sports you could want. You won't be sorry here!! And yes it's Deep Cleaned and kept that way while you are there. MASK required to get in, I'm sorry they will ask you to leave if you don't come in with one on. It's the State

Aftershock is one of my favorite places!!! I have been to 13 states and lived in 10 and the Epicenter which is Bowling Alley/Game room of immense proportions!!! Absolutely one of the coolest places ever to go!!! Can't wait to take my grandkids there!!! ?????? For adult entertainment there's the full service bar with plenty to drink and some really awesome delicious food to eat!!! I have enjoyed many nights there!!!?? With their cold beer, so many choices of alcohol n drinks!!!Their tasty assortment of food

Favorite place in town. And bartenders are amazing. Friday happy hour 1.00 wings. Bomb.

Have to agree we other review that the seating is horrible. They have a couple pool tables and some other games. Food was so-so fries were too soggy for my liking and burger was way over cooked good seasoning though. The service was pretty good once I pulled a stool up to the bar. I would try some else next time

I've had good experiences here before but this was terrible. As a party of three we sat for no less than 20 minutes waiting for a greeting but would have settled for a menu. We were dining to participate in a weekly MNF promotion. Very infrequent visits by our server. At the beginning of the 3rd quarter we were all three given our checks without asking. Midway through she came back to see if we were doing ok, as if we weren't put off enough by already having our tabs closed. Very disappointing experience.

Never been too impressed with the place. Burgers have some nasty (in my opinon) over abundance seasoning that ruins what looks to be a delicious burger. I give it 2 stars because its 1 of 2 arcades in town.

The beer was sour from the tap maybe clean them or check Co2 got 2 different types and the tacos had dried up ground beef gross

Great place to watch the game. Play some pool or darts. Music nightly and lives bands on the weekend often. BTs are great with great service.

Excellent atmosphere. Beer was cold. And Curb Appeal rocked the house.

Great place for kids. Bowling was fun. Arcade is very expensive. Food was decent and served hot.

The waitress was awesome and serves an awesome Jaeger bomb

Good food and service. They offer beer for everyone not just the hipsters drinking their hoppy bitter beers. Great place to hang out and have a pbr

Friendly staff, good drinks. Great place to relax and watch a game.

I will never return to the bowling alley or order anything from the little place there that serves pizza!!!!!! Our pizza came out BURNT & the lady who made it said it HAS To be burnt due to it being a combination pizza so that way it cooks all the toppings!? NO LADY THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! JUST ADMIT THAT YOU BURNT OUR $38 WORTH OF PIZZA!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE AT THE BOWLING ALLEY

nice and friendly bartender, enjoyed the food, had a great time. A must go.

Great hand pressed burgers and fresh cut fries. Best burger I've had in years.

Great cheese burgers. And homemade French fries with the skins on them. Yum.

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
