Customer Reviews

We had a great time, party of 4 walked in w/o a reservation and luckily got a lane immediately. The front desk clerks were friendly and helpful. $35/couple for two hrs which includes shoes, fun way to spend a couple hrs on a not so sunny day. The alley itself is bright, clean, more updated than others, lots of games including skee ball, my favorite. The bar is stocked w/ liquors, wines and beers on tap along w/ numerous TVs for games. The woman bartender was sweet, also helped running food. We ordered

My granddaughters are in a league and we go every week. They have the best grilled cheese anywhere in pinellas county ?? The staff is the friendliest

We were looking for something to do and trying to avoid spring break crowds, and had a wonderful time at Liberty Lanes! We're very amateur occasional bowlers, but we had a great time. The kids had lunch and the food was really tasty as well. The folks at the desk and the restaurant were super friendly. We'll definitely be back!

Great place to take the family to let off some steam. They have night bowling and stay open until 12:50 am. Blacklight bowling, everything glows. They serve food and drinks and even have free water. The kids loved it and can't wait to go again. We will definitely be returning. They even have senior and children's leagues. Calling all bowlers pro or just for fun, come on down and knock a few pins around, promise you will feel better when you leave. Great place, great fun.

Sunday morning deal is great! My family was able to bowl for $0.99 a game! I was actually impressed they had breakfast menu items available but we didn't try anything. Get there early if you want to get a lane without waiting.

9 of us went yesterday for a bowling birthday party and lunch. We started with an enjoyable experience in the restaurant being served by Jeanie! She was fabulous. She knows her stuff. She's been there for decades and loves her job. You can tell. We bought two hours of bowling on two lanes for all of us and we laughed and laughed. It was great fun. My only reason for four stars versus five stars is that the bowling shoes had to have been there since Jeanie started work?????? i?m 73 and haven't bowled in ages

Busy working mom with not a lot of spare time. My daughter turned 13 and wanted to celebrate with her friends. We are not even casual bowlers, but pricing was reasonable and we booked a party. Great experience, super flexible and accommodating, they provided decorations and were fine when we also brought our own. Our party host was very attentive and accommodating. I think all the kids had a good time! Really appreciate them making it so easy on me!!!

On Saturday afternoon, my friends and I were in search of an enjoyable activity to spend some quality time together. We stumbled upon Liberty Lanes, which offers bowling and arcade games, and decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, we were pleased to find ample parking space available. The bowling alley boasts 30 clean and spacious lanes where we could play and have fun. The staff were friendly, helpful, and polite, and they assisted us in booking a lane to play with our friends. We were pleasantly surpri

It's always nice know that you can go to Liberty Lanes where it's always clean nicely lite . The staff is always willing to help and no matter what the Endeavor! I've been there several times with my granddaughter over the years and years before that with my children. Had a blast kids got together before school had to go back in here's the moms and or grandparents . It's always such a fun time whenever you're able to bowl with the kiddos to make everyone laugh

We enjoyed a fun bowling night with our entire family (35 people). The service was great and the food was good. It would be cool if they had way to device a large party that showed up with no reservation. But they handled everything the best they could. I would definitely recommend this place to any family.

This place is Terrible. I'm new at bowling. I went there and purchased a bowling ball, a bowling bag and new shoes. I was excited to finally have my own equipment. When you buy a bowling ball you get a free game to try out your bowling ball . After bowling a few frames I noticed that my ball was cracked in a few places. I told the lady at the counter and she asked me did I throw it in the gutter? Her tone was very accusatory and rude. She offered me no help.

The first thing we said walking in was how off it smelt, and when we got up to the counter the manager Mel was pretty rude off the bat then she gave us a lane and when we walked over there our lane wasn't up and we both walked back at separate times and she acted like we were idiots because she put it up on the wrong lane and couldn't just own up that she made a mistake after this she ran away because she knew she was in the wrong we paid for 2 hours we left within the first hour this place was horrible and

Great place to bowl Very good service The only downfall is that it's freezing in there. Everyone in my group was cold. You would think they would want to save energy and money

Liberty Lanes offers a fantastic bowling experience that combines entertainment, friendly service, and a vibrant atmosphere, making it a go-to spot for both casual bowlers and families. **Facilities (5/5):** Liberty Lanes boasts modern facilities with well-maintained lanes and top-notch bowling equipment. The lanes are clean, and the scoring systems are easy to use, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable bowling experience. **Atmosphere (5/5):** The atmosphere at Liberty Lanes is lively and inviting, perfect for

Lanes were ok, ball return was extremely slow and very dirty. The balls came through with a slick greased type of residue on them. After four games of bowling my hands were full of residue and my towel was black with stains on it from the dirt of the ball return. The food was decent and the staff in bar for adult beverages was fantastic!

Good bowling alley. Grandkids had a blast. And so did I.

Lanes are great. Food is amazing. Great staff. Glow bowl could have better lights. Arcade needs an upgrade. But 10/10 would go back

I came all the way here to bowl doubles and singles in the TNBA 2019 National Bowling Tournament from Atlanta, GA. I was not disappointed. Nice place, easy entry into the building with your rolling bowling ball bags. Plenty of room to put your bags out of the way while bowling. Clean restrooms, a plus when you're bowling 6 games back to back. My group and I had a great time.

It was fun very cold which was totally good for me and we have went a few times

Went right after they opened on a Monday morning and had a great time with my son. Ladies in the lane next to us were very friendly, helpful and cheered when we finally did something good. Lanes were clean, sitting area was spacious and the lane area had a lot of room for the bowler to spread out.

Pre bowling for a league and they put a party of kids right next to us. It's not like we didn't have 8 pairs of lanes to our left they could have used. These have to be one of the worse lanes in Tampa Bay. #Trash

Scary goth girl was being so rude about ranch i politely asked for another ranch and she rolled her eyes and pointed at my ranch and asked ? what is this? then walked away. horrible customer service it's like they hire anyone.

It was fine til I got extremely sick from their pizza. And there was no toilet paper!! I have diarrhea for 3 days!!!!

One of my favorite places to bowl, I find myself stopping in for lunch sometimes while on break from work to eat not event to bowl. There kitchen is second to none.

To expensive, damaged my son's new bowling ball, food made me sick

Lanes to dark also the Lanes vibrate when you throw your ball

Always has good music! Kids love the arcade selection!

We always have a great time here

The lanes are great. The people are very personable. And very clean. The only tiny complaint I would really have is the arcade is really little.

Been bowling leagues for a little bit, not long though. Really nice and fun. Every employee, (except one lady that works the front desk: there was 2 of them, but one was not so nice while the was very nice) is really nice and always polite. I'm not sure about every other day, but Thursday night, this lady is a bit of a bummer, doesn't smile, or greet politely. Otherwise, fantastic place to bowl though.

This is a great bowling alley. The staff is really helpful and polite. Paul is the most knowledgeable, and helpful, individual I have interacted with at this business. My son is autistic and was having a personal struggle. When I asked for a bit of help with the situation, Paul was very quick to help us and had no problem going out of his way to do so. They just installed new bowling pins on all the lanes! They play good music, and it is a great environment for the whole family!

Great lanes and very helpful staff.

Awesome, food was great

Called 2 weeks ago to book a 5 year olds birthday party. Was told to get a head count and call 24 hours ahead of when I need to book because there wasn't anything going on the day/time we wanted. I just now called to book the birthday party and they now tell me that there's zero openings and they are holding a tournament all day tomorrow and there's no way that they can accommodate us. Thanks to Jesse at SEMINOLE LANES we'll not be having the party there.

Absolutely love this place. The arcade could use some work, but i always spend money in it anyways. The staff are all very friendly and watch out for their customers. I had an issue recently where another customer stole my medically needed shoes, and the management went above and beyond any establishment i could imagine would for a customer. They found the thief and got my shoes back within a day. I will forever be grateful and appreciative of them. Thanks guys, you have a forever customer.

We bring our special needs son every Friday afternoon to bowl with his special needs friends. He loves it! The staff team has been so accommodating to us, so friendly, so kind, especially Frankie. Thank you!

A disaster! No mention of a tournament on the website. After waiting a half an hour they then told us they were taking more Lanes away from the general public the manager was very rude not professional. Kudos to the young man who was extremely kind and professional

They have us a room to celebrate my dad's life after his funeral there. He was a wonderful bowlerand a part of their league and this was the perfect place for our gathering. We had order food everything was done in a wonderful manner. He would have loved it. We even threw a game or 2 in his honor.

I was at this establishment a week ago as a spectator. Being that I have severe arthritis, I cannot get up on the high seats that are in the area for non-bowlers. So, I did not think it would be a problem that I sat in the lower area where my bowler friends were sitting; understand that I was not taking up space that someone else could use. The chair was empty. This place is not handicapped friendly for spectators and being that someone complained I guess the bowlers aren't either. I will not spend any mo

Yea I still got it mind you I use the house ball????????

Great place spent a good time with my friends the food was a okay tho I mean the burger that I ordered was great it was tasty and really and I mean REALLY GOOD but the pizza that my friends ordered was very ify it tasted okay don't get me wrong but for 16-20 dollars I was expecting a better pizza it was very like the pizza you get when the teacher announces a pizza party and the pizza is very slim it was big yes but it was very slim i was expecting a pizza that was more thick not chicago style thick but lik

Place is not very clean but is alright. Pricing is pretty good though and is the reason we come. Bowling lanes were functional. Though pins did get stuck once. They have pretty good food you can order but is kind of pricey. Also they have a full bar that was alright. Overall we had a good time and did not spend a ton. The only reason I give it 3 stars was the service. Staff very dismissive and not friendly. Seem to get annoyed while asking simple questions like asking where a specific weight ball was becaus

It's a great bowling alley with a bar and arcade. Friendly staff and good food.

Less busy, good service ??

Expensive, always cold, lanes get stuck a lot

Jordan was the best host ever! we called on a Friday night and got reservations for 15 kids on a Sunday. It was the best price and the best service I have ever had in my life! Being a grandmother of 16, I definitely recommend liberty lanes for a birthday party! Everything from the host who was wonderful! (Jordan) To the manager on duty on Sunday who asked if we were OK several times...was wonderful. As I said, I absolutely recommend this for a kids birthday party!

Typical bowling alley. Nothing special. Looks like a "hole in the wall" from the outside.

This house is very spacious and a cheap place to bowl. Nice synthetic lanes that are taken care of. The equipment is also up to date. I had a good time, but did not enjoy the lady at the front desk. She had attitude for no reason, and when she came to help the couple next to us, she also gave them attitude. I don't think she had a name tag, so I do not know who she was.

Has such a fun time with the kids! The food was so good and the staff was very kind and attentive. The arcade was fun but a bit pricey not really worth the prizes

Front desk lady needs a vacation, clearly burnt out from it all, always feel I got my head bit off every time I call about lane availability. I understand ?first come first serve? but no need to repeat it rudely when I ask ?so you have some open?? Sandals Jamaica is running a deal, good time to get away ?

We always are treated great here, they respect that even if you have your own fear that you will not walk out without paying. Foe me it is nice and we can boil as many games as we like and pay after. Most other alleys now a days want you to pay up front and that limits the number of games we would play as we will not pay twice. The staff is nice and the other players are well versed in bouler educate.

Great spot for Bowling, excellent scratch made food too!

Had a ton of fun with my little brother. Extremely affordable with a fun arcade.

Staff is always awesome. Food is actually good! I love their salads. Bathroom is clean. We come here 2x a week for leagues now.

It was good experience I had so much fun with my friends it's really good place and really great place to go with your friends and play games on arcade

We have our work Christmas party here. Always a great time. Love this place

Came here while on vacation twice. 5 of us bowled 3 games in 2 hours had pizza and drinks for just a little over $50. It wasn't a bad deal. They also have great deals all summer long for kids. Was a nice place to relax.

It's like a throwback to Lodi Lanes in New Jersey in the early 80s. The place needs a serious update along with one of the staff members at the front desk. I took lessons with a pro who wanted to meet there and did the .99 cent Sunday morning deal on another occasion but with Maple Lanes and Seminole Lanes just a few miles away I can't imagine myself returning.

Was there for a kids birthday party. Boys had a blast, food from diner was great, kids loved the arcade, however the customer service seemed pretty.... tired/unexcited to be there. The party attendant seemed fun and helpful though, especially with the kids and their impatience and throwing the ball down the gutter or into the sweeper, fun times lol. If the lanes were closer I would probably go again.

Great place to bowl with the family with friendly staff and pretty good food. Their prices are fair compared two other lanes but what sets them apart is there friendly and welcoming staff. Best bang for your buck can be had Friday and Saturday nights during glow bowling where just under $16 per person gets you 4 hours of bowling with shoes included.

Great atmosphere, food is awesome and the drinks will definitely get you where u wanna be lol. The crowd is a mixture and so is the music. The staff is cool and Liberty Lanes is a whole vibe. Great time and definitely will return.

Over the years I have visited this place often for lunch. The prices are extremely reasonable and the food is very high quality. I know it sounds funny when talking about a bowling alley. But it's actually very quick quick which comes in handy at lunch sometimes.

This is a fun place for a cheap date with your kids. We went on a Saturday night and had a lot of fun, there was a number of teenage kids there and SOME, but not all were pretty rude. We had two younger kids with us (10 and 11) but the language from the group next to us was pretty bad. We also had the beer which tasted flat, the couple on the other side of us got a pitcher and didn't like it either. Their beer there is quite over priced, and the facility could really use some updating. But we will be back

This is a good place to bowl and the staff are nice, BUT at the front desk when i paid, there was no option for no tip, the lowest was %15!!

Went Thursday night to watch a league tournament. Burger & onion rings were good. The place was packed. Nice friendly family atmosphere. I recommend checking this place out if you haven't been before.

Don't think you have to bowl! The bar/restaurant has an awesome staff and great food! Be it lunch or dinner or a great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat with out a huge crowd. They have 10 Tv?s to cover just about every channel you can think of for game day. Good pizza, wings, burgers cold beer... you won't be disappointed.

We went for the first time and all of my family thought it was a very friendly environment. The employees gave us tokens because all of lanes were full. We all thought that the games were really fun and different than what you would think. They had perfect sizes of balls for all ages. Any problems were fixed as soon as possible. I'd say it is surely a great place for families

Very clean. Great lanes. Great for family fun. The grill has decent food.

Love this place. They always have amazing specials and is priced fairly. They are always clean and professional at all times. The employees are super helpful. For bowling alley food it's not bad either. I would recommend this bowling alley to everyone. Monday through Thursday they do 9.99 special all you can bowl with shoes and a cocktail. I believe that from 9 to 1

Worst experience ever went here for a birthday party bought my son a $20 game card there kiosk charged me 60 dollars for 1 game card they told me there was nothing they could do about it til the next day then there prize machine took 50 of my sons tickets an didn't get his prize worst experience ever take your money an go spend it where they care at Seminole lanes

Liberty has great staff! We go there frequently for Saturday tournaments. Great atmosphere, clean. Tater tots were yummy! Lots of arcade games for the non bowlers.

Staff is great. Bartenders do a great job. They remember your name and what you drink. Alex is hands on taking care of everything. My only wish would be to ban the e-cigarettes!

Our family always has so much fun here!! We love going for the summer bowling (kids bowl free!) and their staff is friendly.

We don't bowl, but every Wed. afternoon my wife and I and friends come here to have a beer or two and eat some of there good food. Jeanne our waitress allways has our tables set up and our popcorn ready when we get there. She's the best. I really look forward to coming here every wed.

Outstanding. Don't go to Seminole Lanes ever again. Seminole Lanes ruined my brand new bowl and Jack As* Cory put black marker on the damage. Never called. Didn't care. Will never go back to Seminole Lanes. Liberty was friendly nice atmosphere

Guys at the front desk super nice. The lanes were great. I wish they had more light weight xl balls My ONLY complaint is the lady working the bar.. She was rude and short. Taking our order almost seemed like it was an inconvenience for her. We did the tuesday night special for $9 where its all you can bowl and a free drink ticket. When I asked for a rum and coke she said it had to be well (understandable) however when I watched her pour the well liquor, the liquid in the bottle was clear... I get some rum

Had my 21st birthday party here and the power went out, half way through our first game. Because the registers were powered off I couldnt get the refund, staff was a litter dismissive at the time, but I think they were stressed that the building lost power. The next day I came back and the staff were very friendly and were glad to give me a refund. They really helped me out and took the extra mile. The owner is very friendly. We are regulars and always come to $1 bowling on Sundays, this was the first iss

Friendly and reasonably priced; food is excellent again priced reasonably.

We are in league here, so we are here often. The personnel are very nice, and friendly, especially John and Jeannie. Owner is nice. Didn't hire me but that is alright.

There are 32 lanes. But the customer service is awesome. The food is shockingly good and very reasonable. The pro shop is also very good. U can do a birthday party or any other event u have. Enjoy

First time ever the girls have bowled they had fun summer program let's kids bowl free over the summer

Fun full alley of what appeared to this young northern girl a bunch of snow birds enjoying life

Great place!! This place has a great service, is clean, and their food is great. Ready to go back to have some fun with my family and friends.

I asked if they had a pair of velcro shoes the lady at the counter told me no because all adults should be able to tie there shoes

I have always gone to Seminole lanes, but after trying liberty lanes last night into today with their galactic bowling, I will always go to liberty lanes. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The lanes are very well taken care of. My family enjoyed it more than any other bowling alley. Thank you to all of the staff who obviously love and care about their job.

I love this place. I like it so much that 2 members of my family are in the leagues. I would like to give suggestions on how to make Liberty Lanes be the "to go" place; one way to improve will be to have more lighting in the parking lot. Maybe trimming the trees might help a little bit. Redoing the lines in the parking lot and adding more handicap accessible parking spots will be great. Have a party place will bring more business. Liberty Lanes have a lot of potential.

Like are y?all NOT goin to shut the place down specifically for me Ari and my family, like it's giving a business trying to help it's employees out by keeping it running in order to afford wages for the workers for them to feed and provide for themselves and they're family ??

Great place to bowl and have fun , bar and restaurant decent , pro shop is top notch

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.
