Linbrook Bowl

I’ve been going to the bowling alley since before I could walk. It’s still the same old, same old. Not saying it’s bad, but they’ve kept good business since then. It’s like the only bowling alley open 24hours and with cheap prices, what’s not to like.

Well priced, no frills bowling alley is perfect for a few rounds with friends! Open nearly 24 hours so it’s a great place to go at anytime. Always up for this place.

Yes, this place has clearly been here a long time, but it has a certain charm. The staff is very friendly and I like that there is a diner up front and a bar area. The setup is very retro which adds to the charm. Had a blast here with my girlfriend in the middle of the afternoon. Who would’ve thought?

Very rude environment will never go to this place they treat you like dirt besides that I just had to kill some time early in the morning so I sat inside for a few minutes after work and a guy right away tells me I can’t be hanging out inside how sad already stereo typing me for a bum or something .so much for a so called 24 hour environment that kicks you out if they don’t see you automatically pulling out your wallet… ill be shure to tell everyone not to go here ever !!! So then I go outside and wait for über and he tells me I can’t even stand on their property like are you serious that’s insane I felt very disrespected!!! I wouldn’t take any of my family here ever again I’ll take business elsewhere

The WORST bowling alley in Anaheim! Don’t ever go here, place is DISGUISTING. Customer service is HORRIBLE, complete waste of money! They support racism, we got kicked out for being WHITE and defending ourself. Valley view lanes is way better with customer service, wayyyy clean than this place and your not hanging out with a bunch of tweakers like LINBROOK

We bowled for an hour and plus shoe rental of a family of four, was about 21 dollars. Sundays and weekday evenings are about the same price. Pitchers of beer (shock top) was 14, we had pizza and drinks for the kids, with a side of fries for about 25. The pizza was pretty good though we had the Hawaiian. Staff was cool, nothing spectacular. Lol

I’m going to make it my mission to ensure that everyone I have ever known is aware that not only is this place gross, with no customer service and beyond cheesy, but someone else had left a beer on the table I sat at and they accused me of bringing in my own alcohol & kicked me out. I’m amazed at the audacity of some people. I guess when the manager rolls out of bed from their single-​wide, they can’t imagine someone would want to pay for a cocktail. I’m contacting an attorney tomorrow, aka about half my family.

don’t have a problem with the weekend manager but he takes Ted take shots with his customers while trying to manage the place, you have this fat girl name amarit who I believe is also an assistant manager because of the way she calls the shots, she tried to get my friend Erica kicked out because her boyfriend was hitting on her, the Kopa room is a nice place to hang out but too much politics goes on and the guy who plays the horn who goes by the name Motown need to take lessons or maybe he’s just can’t hear himself, what the purpose of putting up a sign saying no instrument playing if you’re not going to follow the rules I wish I can give this rating A 0 star however that wouldn’t be fair to the bar staff so I’ll give it a one

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! I went to this place for my first time and the game got stuck a couple of times I was cool about it and it was fine, my second game it continued to get stuck I went up and asked for a refund because my family had had enough we went to bowl not to be asking for the Bowling lane to get fixed. The guy told me there was no manager n he could NOT give me a refund I paid $ 72.00 for a horrible experience NEVER going back to this place. I didn’t ask for a full refund but only for the second one because the game was also off it was my turn but pins were missing from the previous person that hit it. Don’t waste your time just pay a little extra for an actual working place with good customer service.

Very good service, lanes, and music. Love going here late with friends after work. Have to stop by during breakfast, heard the diner was the bomb.

Met my gf here 11yrs ago she been Bowling there for 17yrs. Nice place to hang out and have parties, love the bartender and waitresses and the Sunday karaōke host, venue rate a 4 people the same. Only negative is as manager he’s tries to regulate your personal life by entertaining drama that has nothing to do with his job as weekend manager, his name is Ted Evans. We had one little issue at the kopa room with a former friends (AMRIT, her bf. Elaine Hill and motow) instead of complaining to the manger why we wasn’t friends anymore we’d politely kept our personal lives to ourselves. After 11 years I got a lifetime banned for nothing, most likely early Christmas present to them. I still gave the venue 4 stars I’ve been in a management position before and you can’t downgrade a place for incompetence of the manager

Do not judge a book by its cover. This place is my favorite bowling center to go to. Been coming here for over 15 years. Lots of fun childhood memories. It really makes me mad to see all the negative reviews about Linnbrook. Yes. It is old. Yes its not the most up to date in terms of technology or furniture. But you know what. Everything works. Staff is very nice, helpful, lanes are always perfectly oiled and most of all prices are excellent! Trust me. Do not pay any attention to the negative reviews. Come to Linnbrook and judge for yourself. In my opinion this is one of the best centers in California.

Came here new years day, no wait for lanes! Also, they have a bar inside with people singing karaōke, def have to come back again to sing a song!

I love this alley because it’s stayed true to its roots. Classic 50s alley. The only reason I took a star off was because if the uncharacteristically horrible treatment my boyfriend and his 15+ friends received the other night. We went to the Kopa room for karaōke and «Cass» was doing it. She was giving preference to her friends who skipped the line for songs all night. Kind of a bummer as we came expecting fair treatment and spent a ton of money at the bar and even tipping her. She personally was very rude despite all as well. Hope they find someone more civil to do the karaōke soon. Her gear was constantly breaking as well. :(

KOPA ROOM!!! I hate going out, but I love the KOPA room. Why you ask? Tuesday nights Leroy is there and he is too funny (: Leroy is a legit kj & makes everyone in the room feel at home. Omgggg @ the Asians that karaōke like they’re on American idol here. Cocktail waitress is rude too. Whatever. It’s a fun night. Just go !

Cheap lanes, cheap food and alcoholic drinks, good customer service!
Can’t beat it! Annnnd it’s open 24 hours but the food and drinks close around 12am.
Perfect spot for a date night and the bar inside with open karaōke attracts a older than 20s crowd but is still awesome! Drink specials are great too.

This is a fun place filled with very nice people. Prices are the best anywhere. Great for birthday parties, leagues, and friends night out.

Certainly not the best bowling I’ve been too. It would be great if they would revamp some of their lanes and replace most of their balls. I often find neighboring lanes to be quite inconsistent. Some lanes tend to be uneven or greased inconsistently. But heck! The sunday games are relatively cheap! It’s a great place for a friendly little church outing!

The place opened in 1958 or so & looks as though 1958 were yesterday…
The staff was not great at all. Pretty sarcastic & rude. I asked to get a bal that was stuck down the pane & they never came. After 8 Min’s or so we saw them just standing around and talking which says to me they really don’t care about paying customers. So we took it upon ourselfs to just continue with another ball.
The lanes are pretty awful every other turn we had to reset the dang thing cause it would get stuck! Its very outdated. Also I noticed the girl spraying the shoes was too busy talking to actually spray them correctly & the other employees don’t bother to stay & work, they just walk off when they please. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. The area its located is pretty ruff too, the customer’s inside are not bad tho. We came in on Sunday around 3, and when we asked to be on a lane not so crowded (fyi the place wasn’t packed) the employee was like I don’t have any lanes available, so if u want it u have to give it back in 40mins. Such bs. I won’t be returning.

Quiet… No music!!! They keep one shoe… lol
I did a groupon so the price is ok for 90 min
Really would like music though… we enjoy our time together though

So I was here with a ethnic Chamber of Commerce group Im a part with. For what people are saying about the «smell», didn’t smell like anything disgusting, front entrance somewhat, inside smelled like any other bowling alley. I liked when i was with the group I was with, the «drinks» lady was super nice, even refilling for free when the much smaller group i was with inside the karaōke room, in fact she gave me a nickname of diet coke guy, lol.
If you’re gona come here middle of the night, eat somewhere else since the restaurant is closed by 12 am.

Went here for the first time ever on a Tuesday night in the summer. Great atmosphere — perfect for a family-​friendly evening! It was a last minute hangout and we are so glad to have gone here. Staff was super friendly. The facility was very clean. They played music around 10pm which made it fun. It was $ 2.00/person per round of game plus $ 3 for shoe rental. They have a vending machine for socks in case you forget yours — which many of us did, so thank goodness for that!
Quick side note: the diner closes at 10pm so if you’re planning on coming here at that time or after, bring food or come with a full stomach. Drinks are still served after this time but there are no munchies. (that’s why the 5^th star went missing on my rating).

My review is based on the service received at the bowling alley not technically the alley itself. Came with my boyfriend, best friend and her boyfriend and had nothing but problems since arrival! Security was great and understanding but a waitress was out of
Line and a manger was unresponsive! I don’t want to put anyone’s name out there, but without customers you have no business so you should really value everyone! The altercation here would have landed my boyfriend in jail so we left early and didn’t get to finish our time… And I was winning :(

I am mostly rating the arcade part as I don’t do much bowling here, and mostly just the pinball machines.
Jackbot? more like JANKBOT! is an older machine that is dark and missing its rubber bands. It’s the cheapest at 5 plays for 2 bucks but don’t expect too much strategic action as I liken playing this machine to trying to play basketball on a footbal field.
The Simpsons came in after they got rid of AC/​DC. AC/​DC was a badass machine that I will forever love, however this Simpson’s machine is quite awesome as well.
Though not timely anymore the nostalgia of this game makes it worth the 3 for $ 2.
Last but not least is Metallica. Which is by far the newset and best machine they have there. Mike and I have spent many nights beating that machine to hell, watching as different parts of plastic would fall off hear and there. The machine seems to be well kept and properly maintained. The bonuses are easy to get and you can get a good amount of fun and action out of $ 2 for 3 plays.
The best part is you can come here 24 hours a day. Those late night urges to get some pinball in can finally be satiated.
