We had an absolutely amazing time at Pin Chasers in Tampa! If you're looking for a fun and affordable night out, this is definitely the place to go. We went on a Sunday night and took advantage of their unlimited bowling deal for around $13 per person, which was an incredible bargain. We bowled game after game without worrying about the cost, making it a perfect way to hang out and have fun without breaking the bank. The atmosphere was lively but not overly crowded, which meant we never had to wait long be
Pin Chasers is a blast every time we go! The lanes are well-maintained, the staff is friendly and helpful, and there's a fun, laid-back vibe that makes it perfect for families or a night out with friends. Great food, cold drinks, and plenty of arcade games to keep everyone entertained. Definitely one of the best bowling spots in the area!
The bowling lanes were great. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. The arcade area and games all looked great. Whoever is responsible for that area showed some real care. The bar area was fine, both rubber mats on the floor were sticky. The interior of the building itself could use some love. The carpet on the floors and walls (on the way to bathrooms) has been through war, and it shows. The men's room was decent for a men's room. The women's restroom, however, was in a state. It was absol
Always a great time after work. Usually, we get together with coworkers twice a month and around noon. Price is competitive for 2 hours of unlimited bowling.
Fantastic! This was my first time visiting Pin Chaser. We had a group of 8, kids and adults, and had a great visit. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Kids enjoyed the bowling and they also had a well kept and up to date arcade. We had an issue with balls getting stuck but it was resolved. Food was good, priced right, and easy to order. Would highly recommend for friends and families.
This is an awesome ?meet up? place for those who want to bowl and others that want to play games and sit at the bar! Staff is super friendly and prices reasonable!!!
I recently visited Pin Chasers Bowling Alley in Tampa and had a fantastic time. As a first-time bowler, I found the lanes and equipment easy to use, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. However, my experience at a kid's birthday party there was a bit different. While the bowling was still fun, the party itself felt a bit crowded and chaotic. There were a lot of kids running around, and it was sometimes difficult to navigate the space.
Good place, lines are in decent condition. They have an add on games for bowling instead just keeping a score, kids really liked it. Many arcade games. Food and beverages a bit pricey( lemonade $5), and pizza is just okay. But nice people work there, good atmosphere and overall pretty clean.
So this time around was not fun. It was 3 adults and one of our fiends? it was her birthday so we specifically asked can we be at a lane with kids next to us? so we start bowling and and a Cuban family comes next to us and as my friend put it they weren't disciplined at all. They had their shoes off in our lane while the parents sat back looking. Then they kept running behind us as we bowled. It got to the point that we almost fell over their shoes. So I called and asked can we be moved they moved us to ano
Great place but acade might steal half your credits and there is not much help but family oriented and friendly evan if we couldn't bowl cheered our veterans on.
Enjoyed a birthday party tonight at Pin Chasers in Tampa. Jessica was our assistant throughout the evening and she was absolutely fantastic!! Hopefully Jessica will be managing very soon.
We were greeted by Debbie who was an absolutely amazing human! She was very inclusive w my 2 year old and she was just such a delight to come in contact with! She welcomed everyone walking in the door with a smile and warm welcome! She's definitely an assett to have on your team!! She loves her job, and all who she meets and I'm so glad to have met her! She was so kind to my son and my family! Give her a raise!!!!!
Always a good time here. Surprisingly good food and courteous service. Creative and find specials too. If I've ever been annoyed here it was because of other bowlers? behavior and lack of basic etiquette.
It was my first time in years that I went bowling and it was a great experience! My family had two hours to bowl with 4 of us which allowed like 3.5 games to happen. They place the time in upper right hand corner of the TV with your scores. My nephew used bumpers and a 6 pound ball. I would recommend them to get a 4 pound ball because it was still heavy for a 5 year old kid. Overall it's your typical bowling alley with lanes, arcade, pool tables and a bar. They also have bowling ally food too. Good clean fu
So is our first time here really nice it's Father's Day so it's it's somewhat packed definitely would recommend this place he's got arcade atmospheres great would definitely recommend if you're looking for fun with the with the family.
We called ahead to make sure it wasn't league night and could get a lane & were told the leagues were done for summer. Got there to find out that was wrong & the phones are answered by a call center for all their locations. You would think they then ask you for your location when you have specific questions then
We just had my daughters 9th birthday party here and let me tell you this had to be her best party yet. Big shout out to our party planner and our superstar host Jessica she was absolutely phenomenal?? She made sure I didn't have to lift a finger and made the process so easy!! I Highly Reccomemd this pin chasers for your next birthday party!
Took my grandaughter bowling again. While bowling can be fun and exciting, small kids get the worst, warped and non-functional lanes, making it frustrating for the child. 80% of the balls drift left or right into the gutter even with the bumpers because of the uneven surface. Even the bumpers fail to work. Next time I will not let them know it's for kids, giving the child a chance to score and play without the huge disadvantage of a kids lane. The service at the desk was not very good, the table service was
Really fun experience at reasonable prices. The check in process was painless and the attendant was responsive. They have Velcro shoes! So weird. I think the shoes are a half size too big all around so you may want to consider dropping down half a size. This place is really busy on the weekends, especially if it's raining! Photos as of June 2019
Beautiful bowling alley, brand new arcade games, great music, and lots of lovely lights. Everything is kept up very well. And it's a very fun time for the entire family. Not too pricey, worth it to come and enjoy every now and again. Made for a magical Saturday afternoon.
There was a time this location was great but my recent experience there was terrible and management lied to me saying they would make it right and never did. Very disappointing. I would not recommend Pin Chasers any longer!
For a typical bowling alley filled with all types of families and fun, this is a good spot to come to. They have a bunch of arcade and pool to play, as well. Shoes are required to get when you're renting a lane. I like that we can easily control a bunch of things directly from the screen provided to us within each lane. I would recommend not touching your face so much after touching the bowling balls and everything around you just because of how greasy it can get, just like at any other bowling alley. It is
I have been bowling here since I was a kid. My grandmother recently passed, and the venue of choice for the whole family to reunite was pin chasers. I'm sure we were a rowdy bunch, especially after 15 pitchers but nothing like some family time bowling.
I had a great time there. Food was great, but the restroom needs some attention
Great place for kids. We got a line for two hours and the kids had a great time. There are a few games for kids also. They food on premises so we got chicken tenders and french fries. Great place to get out of the heat during vacation
The staff is always nice! Been bringing my son here for the past year and he loves it! I specially love the daily deals, just wish they started a little earlier, since 9pm is a little late for a 4 year old. Oh, and their updated game area AWESOME just wish it was more affordable $1 per game is a bit expensive.
Lanes are state of the art, lots of equipment and tech and lighter balls for the kids. After the bowling, the well stocked arcade provided a lot of additional fun. Well done.
Came here for my son's 26th birthday party, 30+ friends and family showed up. Everything went smoothly. The staff was great, and handled our every need. Definitely a 5 star rating.
This place has been going strong for a while. Decent food, place could be upkept better, but lots of options for pool, arcade and other fun stuff. The cyber bowling is fun, they have league nights, always stays busy and most people are friendly, staff and patrons. Def recommend the all you can bowl package.
We gathered a group of our guys from church to celebrate father's day and we had a great time! You definitely want to reserve a lane in advanced because the place fills up quickly.
Great deals throughout the week, affordable & overall nice atmosphere, my friends and I go bowling here often and this is our go-to spot in the area. They've also got a sweet arcade! I'd suggest booking a lane ahead of time if you're interested in coming here through their app.
Had a very nice and fun time with my family! Plenty of parking, staff was extremely helpful and cordial.
So much fun. My boyfriend and our friends typically go once a week. The staff is amazing and helpful. We love the specials. Griffin helped us with our technique and is super helpful accommodating us. Its always a good time and a great atmosphere!
Great place, not expensive, and very clean. The staff are very nice.
We rented a lanes (31) yesterday at Pinchasres Veterans Tampa and really only bowled one good game. The bowling balls got stuck constantly in the lane somehow and didn't return properly. Also, ALL the balls got stuck behind the pins and the maintenance guys had to go behind the pins to get all the bowling balls. Ww all paid approximately $18.00 for two hours and bowled only one full game. This is very disappointing. Our whole experience was ruined.
So fun, will be back here and the bartender had the drinks so good lol
If you want to have fun, visit this place, friendly service and wonderful atmosphere
Staff is super friendly, and everything was great. Kids had a lot of fun.
I love to bowl. I'm not a pro yet but I think I do pretty good at times. My hubby does great. His score is usually at least 160 or a bit higher. Pin chasers is awesome. It's nice and clean and affordable. The service is great always nice friendly people to help you. I haven't gotten the food so I'm not sure how it is but it does look good.
Great place to come bowl. They keep the lanes and furniture clean. Staff is polite. If you sign up for their rewards system you earn free bowling as well as cash on your birthday and anniversary. Sign up each member of the family! They also have weekday specials and Sunday breakfast bowling. Pretty cool -- Sunday you pay to bowl unlimited from 9-12 and your bowling comes with breakfast!
Started off a little rough, but once we had Travis as our server, our whole experience changed. He was really hustling taking great care of not only us, but other lanes and groups as well. Our drinks were always full, he checked on us consistently, took a group photo for us. Our group had a wonderful time.
Great place to hang out with friends and family. The staff is kind and professional. Fun and food if you're hungry, and believe you will be doing so much sport.
Had a blast here last night. The competition was great. The drinks were delicious! The only place where you are allowed to wear your own sneakers! I live it!
We've done our kids birthday parties with Pin Chasers and they are organized and easy to work with.
I wanted to take a moment to share our amazing experience with Pin Chasers. We had our daughter?s 6th birthday party here and the party coordinator went above and beyond to make it a great experience for her. She took extra time to personalize the party to her theme. She took time throughout the party to make sure everything was okay. Our server assigned to our party was phenomenal. They took care of everything for us, from serving the pizza to the cake. Continued to make sure everyone had everything they n
The staff was amazing the prices were very fair and we played our whole 2 hours! We had a lot of fun
Great bowling alley! Our family had so much fun. Food was good Easy to get to location from the Veterans.
Eli at the front desk is always a pleasure to work with especially on a busy Friday night. This place is great, love to have fun here with my coworkers.
Really enjoyed this location, was out of town on vacation and bowled in a homeless children fund raising event with my family.
We celebrated a 5th birthday party, and the party team did NOT disappoint. Not only did they help guide us through the process, they provided balloons, themed plates, game cards, and a special bowling pin. All the kids had a blast! Highly recommend.
Service was awesome, and prices were reasonable?
Love this bowling center. They've been a great partner to our non profit over the years and this location is always clean, the games in the arcade are always working, and all the lanes are level. It's nice having a full bar as well and the food is good typical bowling center food, cheap and delicious.
Excellent place for bowling. The friendly helpful staff ensures that your experience exceeds expectations. The game area is great for entertainment. The bar area offers place to enjoy your drinks with friends. And most importantly, the snack bar with all the tasty food and snacks.... Go and have a great time. Return trip shows that everything previously stated is still valid and is improving. Great staff and good atmosphere... More good stuff coming... Still the best
This place is cool to play Games and bowl fries were great and the drinks are strong not water down I'm going back
I love coming here for league nights. This is a very family friendly establishment and all who work there are very friendly and professional. The food is good, the drinks are good and all reasonably priced. They provide plenty of daily specials and fun for the whole family.
What an amazing family and friendly establishment ??. Our family had our son's 5th birthday party here and WE HAD A BLAST????!!! I don't remember our host name, but she was an elderly lady????, and had a British accent. We had a splendid day with our mates "in a U.K. Accent" lol. I highly recommend this place for good times!
Had a great time bowling here. Great selection of music playing, mixing current, classic, and Latin songs. Good diversity of people. The scoring machine was easy to use and when the pins got stuck the matter was fixed very quickly. Food and beverage options are good and not too expensive.
Great place for friends and family. We bowled and a lane over the presidents. Lol can't wait to go Sunday for breakfast and bowl at nine am.
I visited the establishment today and it was an experience to say the least. I asked to be accommodated on my breakfast items as I am not allowed to eat pork due to religious purposes. My order came out covered in bacon and when asked for it to be fixed, they took the bacon off and served the same eggs. Unacceptable. If the kitchen has a problem accommodating something as simple as no bacon, they need to choose somewhere else to work. The 2 girls in the kitchen had an attitude about it and I could see it on
Had a great time! Music, drinks and great company. It was all on point.
We've been coming to Pinchasers for years but we were there on Sunday at 1pm and the Veterans location was awful. First I made a reservation and paid the extra $10 to guarantee a lane. It was not necessary as the place was only half (or less) rented. We had a group of 5 and they paired our lane with another group of 5. Forgetting how people don't seem to have much bowling etiquette, there were a lot of folks and balls on the lanes when they could have spread everyone out to make it more comfortable, instead
Friendly and somewhat courteous staff... but not following any Covid-19 protocols. The guy at the front desk was rarely wearing his mask, you know the one I have to wear to enter... the bowling was fun and people were decently spaced until a group of kids (12 or more teenagers) showed up. They put them in the lanes right next to us. So much for social distancing. I said something to the waitress who told me the lanes are 6 feet apart... that's not true. Especially when they're right next to each other. We l
Pin chasers is fun for all ages! It's a great family atmosphere! I love the food and drink options along with ample areas of fun! The place is clean, the customer service was amazing, and the wait time(we didn't reserve a lane) was minimal!
First time there and we had so much fun. The guy at the front door was so nice and even thanked us for going there. You don't get that much now a days. I just wish i knew his name to mention it here.
We went in a Sunday and did the brunch and bowl and it was only $12 bucks for unlimited bowling for 2hrs. You also get two eggs your way with toast and bacon. It was such a great way to spend a Sunday with the family.
When you step into this place you feel you stepped on to the sets of TV sitcom ?The 70?s Show?. The entire set-up is 1970s - dated, old & antiquated. Interiors are also in same 70s color theme. During pandemic many bowling venues used it to their advantage & upgraded their facilities, their set up along with new look & feel. But not this place. The bowling set up is decent, with lot of dedicated staff trying to run around & helping patrons. There are better bowling set-ups in Tampa (Maple Lane Countrysid
First time visit. They did a great job and the value was there. We will return to visit in the future.
Been coming here for a long time, and my in-laws even longer. We have never really had a bad experience, but last night was horrible. Not necessarily Pin Chasers' fault, but a family next to us had 14 people crammed into 2 lanes. They had many children, who kept running into our lane and almost getting hit on our back swing. One of the children ran over to our lane while my husband was bowling and picked up my $250 custom ball.. when we told him no, his dad came over very aggressively yelling at my husba, "
Pin Chasers is actually a really nice bowling center, but unfortunately the lanes and approaches could be better maintained. The approach was so sticky that I couldn't slide at all and left with an injured left ankle because I kept sticking and tripping. The lanes were pretty good, unless you got the ball too far out towards the gutter. In that area, they were so slick that the ball couldn't grip and turn in toward the pocket. Other than that, the service was good and the center was pretty clean, but the ra
My wife planned a birthday party for me at this location and she called a few weeks ahead and paid to reserve the lanes (4 lanes). We arrived on time and the lanes were cleaned and ready to go for us all, we all paid individually and they had a few different crew members coming around to take drink and food orders and kept it very organized and helping with multiple separate tabs. If we ever ran across an issue with the lane itself like the pins not resetting the staff was quick and friendly to help us reso
This place is so much fun. The breakfast and bowl was amazing. Can't wait to go back with the kids
What a fun place to bowl and hang out! The arcade is flashy and the lanes are bright and cheery.
So much fun here!! Have been twice and the staff are fantastic! Extremely accommodating to your family needs! Must check this place out! You won't be disappointed! Tons of fun!
Amanda and Chloe were great with helping me coordinate my child?s birthday party. Day of our hostess was Skyler and she was fantastic as was Ms. Lyn! As a professional event planner myself, I wasn't expecting the outstanding level of service I received! The pizza was delicious and everything was followed-through on impeccably! Highly recommend for a party or just a fun day of bowling. 5 star experience! ??
Great location for bowling. Tuesday has an excellent deal for all you can eat pizza and bowling after 9pm. People on staff are helpful and nice.
Pin chasers is the epitome of greatness when it comes to the bowling experience. Their service while young is very attentive to their clients. If there is a mistake in the food they will swiftly ensure that your expectations are realized. I wish I could give this establishment more than 5 stars but just the 5 will have to do. Thank you pin chasers, for being the only place where my dreams can manifest
This is the best bowling alley in Tampa Bay Area. Everyone work there are super friendly. I took my daughter there almost every weekend. They have free breakfast and two hours unlimited bowling for 11.99 per person from 9:00-12:00. It's good to bring family and friends to have fun at weekends. It's very clean and a lot of video games for the kids. I love this place!
Great place for a family event or team event. I was there for a bday party and the bowling alley was packed! Service was awesome, staff was very nice even with all the chaos and the pricing is reasonable. The Birthday gurl even gets a personalized bowling pin.??
literally bad service each time I go here, especially this recent time from not only the server but also the front desk girl who made us stand there for almost an hour until we had to go up to the desk and ask what the wait was for and she said she called us 30 minutes ago. we were just standing there right in front of her. she could?ve just walked up to us instead of having us stand there for an hour even though she said our lane was open 30 minutes before ?????
Terrible service , We came in at 10:45, they close at 12:30. Lady didn't wanna give us a lane said they are full. My girlfriend seen empty lanes and told her maybe there is a lane , I insisted we wait. She finally puts us at a lane and we go to the bar to grab a drink. The bartender didn't know what tequila is. We asked him what repo he has he said he didn't know it's his first day. He named off Bacardi as one of the reposado tequilas. Watching him shake and pour into a jigger and miss the glass was hard t
My fiance and I come here a few times a week for date night to play pool. Very friendly atmosphere, great service and food! Love love love this place!??
Corey was incredible, thank you for an amazing night!
They seen we had our 3 year old and offered the ramp for him which I didn't even think about it was our first time bowling in a reallyyyy long time. Price was fair food and drink was good he chowed down the mini corn dogs lol it was a fun Sunday afternoon activity for us as a family.
Best place to have a birthday party. Staff very attentive and make sure everything is perfect. the kids had a blast.
Great lanes and great service. Lots of fun
Great experience fun section for the kids. Food was good.
Great service and friendly staff. The food is good and priced affordably, clean facility and just a great place to go.
What a fun morning !! While we waited for an ally my grandson had a blast in the arcade mixing it up between the traditional favorites and the newest futuristic ride . The bowling was fun, engaging myself, my adult daughter and my grandson in fun competition for a reasonable price point.
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, pinball tables in arcades remain a blast. Their hands-on, skill-driven gameplay delivers a thrill digital games can’t match, blending nostalgia with modern flair. Newer tables from Stern and Jersey Jack feature LCD screens and themes like Avengers or Stranger Things, keeping things exciting. Arcades are seeing a pinball resurgence with vibrant scenes and tournaments like IFPA events drawing crowds. Though less common than video games, pinball’s tactile charm and community vibe make it a standout arcade experience in 2025.
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.
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.
