Bowling Centers-Bowlero Lanes

This is the place to go if you want to support a great Lakewood business and have a good time doing it. This business donated to our elementary school auction a deluxe birthday party package. The employees and owner are always courteous and helpful. We go there with our scout troop as well. We love this business, and have a great time every time we come here.

Been coming here on a regular basis since they re-​opened. The first few times the service and bowling was good. But it has significantly fell off during the last two months. On several occasions the lanes do not work well. Their food is less than mediocre and high priced for bowling alley food. Some of the games in their game room do not work very well. The staff is not really friendly. Not impressed… at all. Just a convenient location that keeps me going there. And they participate in the Kids Bowl Free program… probably the only perk.

You get what you pay for? Please read this as it could save you money and from wasting your time!!!
Good grief where to start.
Well we were wanting to go bowling last night and we had a party of 6; 2 kids and 4 adults. We asked to be put on the wait list and apparently the girl at the front desk, mind you wearing a sweatshirt, she must’ve been new, didn’t know what she was doing. Apparently they only offer «reservations» on weekends and if you have a reservation you must arrive before 9:45, then if people don’t show up for their reservations then they call from the wait list. I find that very bad for business because you’re basically pushing customers away. Plus 9:45??? That’s awfully late.
Then the girls I guess they could be referred to as «waitresses» at the «restaurant» proceeded to argue with me over how I could not get a pitcher of lemonade for my group. What’s ironic about this is that the group next to us bowling got a pitcher of water AND lemonade… hmm. The gal who was the cashier stood up for me saying it made no sense as to why I couldn’t get a pitcher for my group of 6. Instead the rude waitresses urged me to buy 6 HUGE 16 oz cups to refill at the soda machine… I refused to do so, then asked for smaller cups, the smaller cups were «water cups only» so they also then argued with me that I couldn’t have those either… The cashier gal who really tried hard, found me styrofoam cups for our kids so they wouldn’t have to drink out of such huge cups. «They don’t do pitchers for any reason and they aren’t allowed to give water cups out for other uses other than water»…$ 7… I would’ve rather stayed thirsty than to have my IQ lowered by arguing with these clueless people. Thanks cashier girl, I appreciated your understanding… And the fact that you measured how many cups went into a pitcher.
Our husbands enjoyed their beer, and the music and lights were fun, but seriously this place SUCKED. Nasty tables with food and crap on them, multiple arcade/​candy machines ate our money. The waitresses and people are morons and don’t know what they’re doing, the place smells terrible for a bowling alley, and they over charge for beverages, beer and the whole bowling experience.
It wasn’t worth it in my opinion, we were just looking for something fun to do and Bass Pro Shop’s bowling alley was booked.
They should spend more money on their staff getting customer service training, or renovating the place, than having arcade games that eat your money and a nasty run-​down «restaurant» with bitchy staff.
No thanks, won’t go again.

Well, I would say Bowlero Lanes is just an «ok» bowling alley. The lanes are actually more narrow than most bowling alleys that I have been too and I know I’m not the best bowler, but for some reason I made more gutter balls than I usually do. The food was little over-​priced, but it was good.
I would probably only go back for the happy hour.

Bowleros has been around for quite a while. I used to come here as a teen and it hasn’t changed too much since then.
The area that it is in can be kinda scary if you’re around late at night.
They do have their own parking lot but as a girl, I’d recommend going with a group or having someone walk you out. There have been fights/​crimes pretty frequently.
They used to have unlimited bowling on Friday/​Sat nights and that made for a packed house and great value.
