Bowlero Alameda

"We organized a birthday party for our kid at Bowlero, and we were extremely satisfied with their services. Everything was set on time and the staff were extremely attentive and hardworking. The cookie cake they served was specially delicious. They took care of all the clean up afterwards. All we had to do was just show up! Would highly recommend for a birthday party for a group."

"The place is clean but service personnel are truly sketchy, specifically the manager named Ryan L. He has poor demeanor and comes to work high as a kite. He wreaks of weed and I saw him jumped to a car in one of the customers and performed inappropriate act. Right in front of the venue where customers and kids walk next to it. The company should thoroughly vet their employees to be of good moral character and should impose strict disciplinary action for infractions as such."

"I will start off with the positives! We came in on a Friday where it was really busy. We were lucky enough to be introduced with an employee named Vi! He had a very sweet smile and he talked to my daughter with enthusiasm and we really appreciated that. Once we got our lanes ready he gave us our shoes quickly and we went straight to bowling. We asked for the side rails to be raised and Vi got it immediately up for us. You can tell he was dealing with many things at once and I even saw him cleaning tables next to me. The only reason why this was not a 5/5 was because this place was obviously low staffed. I waited 1 and a half hours and we saw empty lanes and we were very confused. The food took about 30 minutes to come out and the food was good I just expected it to come out a little bit faster but I understand they were busy."

"We brought some grade school kids to bowl a few games, but all the lanes were taken. We were put on the waiting list. So, we played several games in the arcade. There's a good mix of new and classic arcade games in a small space. You can exchange tickets for prizes. Since the kids were hungry, we decided to go across the street to eat. Once we got settled into the restaurant and got a text that a lane was open, we decided not to go back to bowl. Nice bowling lanes with a restaurant inside."

"I haven't been here in years but it has been way modernized since the last time I was here. The software on the lanes worked well, the arcade selection was decent, and the food was actually pretty good. Main negative about the food was they charged a fee for ordering on phone, and there was no way around it. Parking was easy also. Would recommend trying out if you haven't been here in a while."
