It was our first time bowling at the Barbers point bowing center. We had gone to our cousins graduation get together there. The We had such a great experience at Barbers Point Bowling Center! The food was amazing--we ordered the hamburger steak, fries, fried noodles, rice, and salad, and everything was so delicious. It did take a little while to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait. Bowling with the kids was a lot of fun, and the lanes and shoes were in great condition. The bathrooms were clean and convenient, which is always a plus. The front desk staff were friendly and organized, making the whole process smooth and easy. Overall, a fantastic place for both food and family fun--I can't wait to go back! read more

Owners and staff are amazing! Great prices, clean facility, wonderful owners and staff and great food!

The place is a bit dated but for us it was more about having fun with the gkids and their friends. We did just that. We were in the first 2 lanes and it kept getting stuck but that's ok. The snack bar was good. The teenagers really liked the food there. read more

Worst bowling experience of my life. Terrible service and the lanes kept eating our balls, paid for 2 hours we barely played. Scam

I'd avoid this place but we had no choice because my daughter's team had a team bonding there. The place was empty when we got there but our team mom reserved 2 lanes for us. They decided to put the group that came in after right next to us so girls were super crammed in an already small space. No eating by the lanes. You actually need to eat above the lanes on the tables and be away from everyone. Next, the balls kept getting stuck which prevented us from finishing our 2nd game. You may order food from the snack shop which was fine but for whatever reason I ordered a chicken katsu and it was the most disappointing and disgusting thing I've ever had. Not only was it burnt, it looked like it was rotisserie chicken added to batter and fried. I didn't ended up eating it after a few bites and I definitely wasn't going to have my daughter eat it. The lumpia was good and so were the fries. Other ppl in our group seemed to have enjoyed their food. read more

Awesome place for some good food the ally is alright lane is nice to bowl and well kept only thing is the price for bowling it's on the pricer side that's the only thing read more

The Food was awesome The service was great The ambiance was wonderful. The decor and the music just take you back in time. It was cool fun with my kids and grandkids. read more

Reserved 3 lanes ahead of time for a party of 16. 2 of the 3 lanes did not work properly and when brought to the attention of the workers that evening, they were not able to do anything other than call the tech through the microphone. It took numerous time to get the lane properly working in which by then the mood and morale went down. When asked to speak with management regarding our experience in hopes of resolving the issue we were told that it was out of their hands and nothing can be done. It sounds like a frequent issue because even the workers apologized and were aware of previous issues with other parties nothing has been done. I had left my number behind for management to call in which one attempt was made which resulted in a voicemail saying that they'll call again which never happened. I called back to no answer. It's unfortunate because I my hopes were high with being able to effortlessly book online with no issues and to also be able to order food in advance but the whole point was to have fun and bowl in which that evening resulted in failure. I'm embarrassed because we had out of town family come in and this experience with the bowling alley was a complete waste of time. read more

My mother in law want me and my daughter to go with her to have brunch here. She also wanted to meet her friends. Last time I came here was during covid. It hasn't changed but the price of food went up. I paid almost $54 for two cheeseburgers, two garlic chicken plates and two large drinks. The food was hot and delicious but pricey. The lady was getting busy and I noticed she was kind of rude. The bowling alley is directly outside from the little restaurant that's enclosed. Plenty of parking up front. If you like to go bowling and you are in the area, it's cute run down bowling alley. The food is expensive so be prepared to pay a grip if you decide to eat here. read more

The food was pricey for the serving size but tasted ok. I had the nacho supreme with jalapeño. The service for both the restaurant and bowling was super friendly. I had a great time with my wife and another couple. Shoe rentals were $5 each and one game was $5 each but we were there between 3-5:30. After then I think it's league bowling. But if you haven't been bowling in a while, this might be for you. Check the video out to give you an idea as it's not a big place but it was a fun place! read more

I haven't been to this facility cents 2006. I brought my niece and her girlfriends here for a day of bowling. It was simple to book the lane online and order their food and drink. It was pretty pricey for three people hundred dollars for the lane, some food drinks and shoes. Make sure you bring your socks else you will have to pay for socks. The man at the front desk is super friendly and helpful in. Gave us our shoes and we were on our way. They have a variety of lunch options that you can pre-order or buy when you're there. We went around lunch/early dinner time. But they do offer breakfast. It looks like things are made to order. And then they offer the typical snacks, chips and things too. You can't have food in the bowling area. But they haven't set up behind the bowling area for you to eat. In the two hours, the girls played three games. The bowling alley was filled with families, young and old. We will come back. read more

We had a great time coming bowling for my birthday a few weeks ago! It looks like the space has been renovated a bit, and we were impressed with the service, especially since it was our first time bowling with our 2-year-old son. We made a reservation online for 1.5 hours, which was a little long for us considering our son lost interest after the first game. When we called they told us to book online, but there is no 1 hour online option. So we're not sure how exactly to book the one hour short of showing up as a walk-in. So I'm knocking a star off for that. We started by eating in their small little restaurant and the food was delicious! I had a Teri burger with cheese and garlic fries and my hubby had the same but with onion rings. The burger and garlic fries were the winners! We checked in for our lane and headed over to set up with our shoes. Once we were ready to go, I noticed all of our names were already input on the screens! It was because we booked online and my husband input all of our names ahead of time. It spared us the hassle of trying to figure out how to program names, cutting into our bowling time. So that's one benefit of booking online! Then, we started bowling. They had these cute little animal-shaped bowling helpers for the little ones, that way they could roll the ball down and it would travel down the lane. Also impressively, the bumpers would automatically rise when our son's turn came up. How convenient! We bowled two games and our 2-year-old son won! Lol! He lost interest during the second game, so my husband and I took turns and bowled. It was a great afternoon of family fun. read more

Rude Staff, Broken Lanes, and Zero Customer Service Visited Barbers Point Bowling hoping for a fun Saturday night, but it turned into a frustrating experience. The man at the front desk was completely unhelpful--no greeting, no answers to basic questions, just silence and attitude. If you don't like your job, maybe it's time to move on. Customers shouldn't be made to feel like a burden. We had constant issues with our lane--malfunctions, delays, and no effort to fix them. Worse, it felt like the blame was being put on us. We asked if we could extend our time (it was only 10 PM and they close at midnight), and he stood there for ten minutes saying nothing, walked away, then came back just to say "no." That could've been said upfront instead of wasting our time. We also got a gripe for something as simple as switching one pair of shoe sizes and grabbing a 6-pound ball for a woman in our lane. That's basic customer service, not something to be scolded for. Bowling should be fun and welcoming. This felt more like being punished for trying to enjoy ourselves. Won't be coming back anytime soon. ZERO STARS! ZERO ALOHA! read more

It is a really good place to eat. It just sucks that they upped their prices and the food quality is smaller.... And the service is really great there. everyone that works there is super nice. They really help you out when you need it. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Management is horrible. The guy at the front desk has no customer service skills at all. Balls were getting stuck constantly, and he kept saying, "I will reset it." He did absolutely nothing. Asked for a refund because we didn't get a game, but the main guy who works the front desk didn't seem interested in helping us at all, and told his partner, who looked about 16 told him to help us, instead of him helping us. And then he told him, "Help them. Help them figure it out." I'm sorry, can you not speak to me yourself? You're a grown man, sir. Terrible place, and I would not recommend it. For the amount of money spent, the experience was not enjoyable at all. Don't go there. read more

Great Family fun...Great Staff and a good food menu to satisfy your appetite. Great place to escape the rat race and have fun bowling with friends and family. read more

just came there about an hour ago, came to the desk and the front lady didnt even TRY to bother and help us. waited about 5 min of standing in front of her so i asked her if theres a lane open. she said shes "working on it" waited there for another 5 min and no sign of her trying to help. also looks like she was more inviting to her family guests/regulars that bowl there than actual customers. i took a good look around the bowling alley and looked like it wasnt even worth the time spending there. we both left the alley since we stood there for 15 min with no communication. i bet she didnt notice we left just because of careless she looked. this review is for the customers only, if you guys are trying to go there, dont be surprised about the customer service. i know this review wouldnt change the business because it looks very family oriented. read more

Horrible customer service. Our balls got stuck under so we asked the staff up front to fix it, waited over 5 min which wasn't a big deal to us because we still had over 30 min left anyway.. she told us " you cannot wait 2 min?? " with attitude lol. When my sister in law asked for her name she stuck her middle finger and said " how about this " we told her not to act in such a way or swear because we had our kids around us. It looked short staffed so we tried to remain as calm as we could despite her attitude but she still kept cussing us out. She even started shaking. Manager was very reassuring though, but if you hate your job don't work there. Simple. read more

Myself and my family LOVE this bowling alley! It's veteran owned and run by 2 of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet! When my father was sick in the hospital, they made multiple visits to him which always lifted his spirits. read more

Barbers Point Bowling Center - Bowling Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I must say, my family and I had fun! Very family friendly. We celebrated my son's 13th birthday here. We were booked for August 27 (Saturday). We had a Mario Bros theme party. Food service: The ladies working in the food area were total sweethearts. They had great customer service and was really relatable.Especially the one who was in charge of the catering for us. She made sure we got everything as soon as we arrived. Food Quality: The onion rings & cheese sticks were great. The rice was cooked perfect. The rest wasn't that great. The pizza was kind of dry. My family didn't care for the chicken Katsu. By the looks of it, it was burnt. We were allowed to bring cake and ice cream so we brought in cupcakes. Cost: The cost of the bowling and room was pretty reasonable. I did like that there was a separate party room to have your guest in. I did not care for the cost of the food mainly because of the quality of it and the quantity. Room: nice size. Make sure to bring decorations that you can easily take down. There's a TV but we couldn't figure out how to work it with a remote we were given. So I couldn't watch my Football. Lol. Jk. There's an AC and a few non opening windows. Customer Service: Kitchen ladies were darling! Mahalo! The lady upfront has a lot of responsibility and she looked like she was drained. She was nice to me. She also accommodated our children as well. Bowling: Awesome. My family, even the little kids had a lot of fun!!!! Suggestion: please put photo of party room on website so we know how to decorate it. Also, tips to make things easier. Drinks: please put drinks in a container with covers or a pitcher with cover. Also, maybe allow/suggest an option for us to have food warmers to keep food warm. I understand that running a business takes a lot of work and I appreciate that this bowling alley is opened to the public. Mahalo!!!! read more

No words needed. I was in absolute disbelief of the customer service that was given to us.

Shhhhaaadddyyyy! The ethics commission needs to come up in this joint! So it's a busy Saturday night, we walk in to see the wait. The girl tell us 1-2 hours. So I put our name on the list. There are the 1st two lanes (left side) that are dark. According to the staff, broken. My brother in law and fam arrived 15 minutes after I put our name on the list and just GENERALLY walks in and ask how long their wait is because he thought 1-2 was super long. The girl working tells HIM 20-30 minutes. *SMH* So sitting here waiting over an hour some of the staffs friends JUST walk in the door and roll up to the "broken" lanes and start playing. They had been saving the "broken lanes" for them. The score board constantly messes up and constantly requires you to run to the desk to fix, killing your time limit. FYI it's not about frames, you get an hour. So don't plan to do a single lane with a group of 4 or more. They food is nasty. The coke is nasty, just avoid here. Take yourselves to Aiea Bowl, Leeward Bowl, or Schofield. This place is ridiculous. read more

Loved our experience at the Barber's Point Bowling Alley today. They made a lot of upgrades and the AC was a nice was to get out of the heat. One of my favorite things they have now is being able to raise and lower the bumpers for each bowler automatically. Love it and the kids had a blast! read more

Customer service is trash! I'd give no stars if that was an option. Two clowns at the front desk needs to be replaced.

I have an account that has many places that I've gone to such as services, eateries, & great places to shop around the island that I've had great experiences at though have not been able to get back into acct. so gonna start anew. FuN bowling w/the fam but we did not purchase any food there-maybe neXt time! read more

I have always enjoyed bowling at Babers Point Bowling Center. I was there last weekend for the City Women's Bowling Tournament. The lanes were clean and they followed all of the guidelines in place for COVID. Even though I did not eat at the snack bar, I did glance at the prices and one of my teammates ordered from there. The prices seem very reasonable for the portions that they give you. I think this is a great place to take the family for bowling. Definately check it out! read more

The food here is alright, however, bad customer service and it takes 30 minutes just to put your order in. The lady working turns her back without saying anything. Management is ASS, she "forgot" she had a reservation and told us to either leave or move to another available lane. Overall, it's bad management and customer service read more

Service is extremely terrible I got a lot of attitude from the guy at the front desk even tho I was very nice. I love to bowl, specially being in Hawaii you give respect u should get respect back. Other than that nice place and conveniently close by. Great music good vibes only bad vibes it him sadly. read more

I will admit upfront I am partial to this bowling center. I've been coming here for decades. And, I mean decades. My best game was bowled here. I was in many bowling leagues here. I've taken many trophies, made many friends and scored high many times here. Let's not dwell on the pass. Let's get to the pluses. Tuesday is $2.00 Tuesday. $2.00 a line and $2.00 shoe rental. I come here because it is convenient to my current location. Love the red pin game because I've got a better than 50% chance of striking, and have won many free game coupons. Just can't use it the same day. That's fine because that gives me and G another day to bowll other than Tuesday. We're usually there in the morning when they open. The shoes are clean and have a chance to air out. The food we get is breakfast. Not too hard to get wrong. Been pretty happy with what we get there. I order my eggs over easy medium and it's right all the time. By the time we finish, it's time for lunch. Speaking of lunch, gotta go. read more

Barbers Point Bowling Center - Barbers Point Bowling Center - Bowling Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Kids Grow Up in a Blink of an Eye! For the past months my oldest son has caused my heart to sink several times because of the words that have been coming out of his mouth. I know his intention is not to cause such pain, but bring me to reality that he is not a baby anymore. Statements such as, "I don't want to cut my hair here any more it's only for babies." "Mom, that's a baby nick name." "This place has diaper mini people all over the place." "Please don't kiss me in front of my friends." "Okay mom last hug, I gotta go!" So when his birthday came around and he asked for his birthday party to be at a bowling alley I was so excited. We both initially wanted it at Aiea Bowl for the good eats and cosmic bowling. But it was going to break my bank. We opted for Barbers Point Bowling, which I'm so glad that we did. I will admit the food is not comparable to The Alley but everything else was great for the price. Though there were several other parties going on the workers made sure we were well taken care of. We rented the private room, which was such a deal. It fits over 50 people for only $10 an hour. It has a flat screen t.v. that the men used to watch the football game that was playing that day. If no one rents the place before hand you can come in early to decorate the room. The only thing about the room is that they also use it as a storage. So there were all sorts of things that you could see in plain view. The Private Room http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=D7xXg350Mm4_QH3ankMFKA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=cTuUPvXh1xTrlYaiz6oImA We also had a gaming system from Mobile Systems that they graciously allowed. The gaming system needed electrical plugs and they had an area in the back that had ample room for it. A link to my review about this cool contraction: http://www.yelp.com/biz/mobile-party-systems-kapolei Food: You have to cater with the Prop Stop Snack Bar if you plan to have a party at this bowling alley. The only thing that your allowed to bring from outside is cake and ice cream. They offer to hold your ice cream and cake before hand. You have to order a week in advance before your party. Which I highly suggest doing because of the other parties and if you want your food at a certain time. You can tack on more food to your order when your there. I ordered... Platter A $54.99 (Serves 20-25) A 16" platter of Chicken Katsu, Teriyaki Chicken, Teriyaki Beef and Short Ribs. Served with two bowls of Katsu Sauce. I didn't really care for the sauce that the short ribs were marinated in. But everything else that was offered on platter a was good. I only purchased one for the party and the guest didn't finish it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=4ievSTShqK-1YY_lxYaVkw Platter B $34.99 (Serves 20-25) Choice of Four of the following items: Fries, Onion Rings, Cheese Sticks, Calamari Rings, Zing Dings, Popcorn Chicken, Wonton or Jalapeno Poppers. I tried all of the choices that are offered as a choice. I guess eating appetizers while your bowling is the best bet. The people at my party really really liked this platter that I had to order it 2 more times. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=I3HvLdVW-Ud-zfH-OlsqQg Pizza 16" Cheese $12.00 Just like any out of the box pizza. Of course the kids ate it up. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=OIBPrwSYnFETPkvEMehO6A http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=MF80EV3jtVmVBGZRzlCHvg Fried Noodles http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=H3jewFbKOYu7k-l7z8HAsQ Fruit Platter You can choice up to 4 fruit of your choice. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=GrKgSnza9pzhYHwWh2QePA Drinks Its best to order your fountain drinks by the pitcher. They also sell domestic beer by the pitcher and Heineken by the bottle. Bowling: You can rent a bowling lane for $16 an hour. You can pay for your guests shoe rental for $2.25 or you can tell the front that they will pay for the shoe rental them self. Souvenir: They sold a bowling pin that everyone from the party could sign for a memento for my oldest son. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/RIn7gETx8YkzKKesyR0r0Q?select=Hl08y6brrcytCvMWmhj3zQ Parking: Tons of free parking in front of the alley. Overall, I would suggest this place if you want to celebrate your child's birthday. It's a decent bowling alley. The staff here is very friendly, accommodating and attentive. read more

Customer service is terrible, food is terrible, the cook doesn't know how to cook. he has an attitude try's to act like he runs the business didn't bother getting his name he was a tall bearded guy with black hair wears a hat and has anger issues, I was upset how he handle and cook things huffing and puffing, it wasn't just me he did terrible service to this place isn't good for kids don't waste your money or time going here if the service is terrible the food wasn't cooked all the way good I asked for a breakfast plate and the eggs wasn't even cooked how i wanted it the eggs was supposed to have yolk just like how I told him how i like my eggs done he goes on and cooks it over done the eggs never had yolk the rice was crunchy like he just scooped the bottom of the rice pot and served it to me like it was okay. Overall terrible service and terrible food. read more

Man the bearded guy that works there is a total jerk. As we came for our reserved time, he was huffing and puffing wiping tables and complaining and we made sure he knew we weren't in a rush and he knocked down chairs being all gruff. Made us feel very unwelcome the whole time. Any question we had was ignored at first like they didnt see us waiting in line to talk to them and then we were either talked down to or patronized or they literally complained to us about us. I will never ever go there again (not that they made us feel we were welcome) nor will I ever tell anyone else to go. The other guy was almost as bad but he at least attempted to hide disdain at our presence. Oh and one lane broke entirely and the other were malfunctioning as well. read more

I've been coming here for awhile now but last night was the first night I had a bad experience. There were 2 guys working the front desk and as soon as we entered, the guys were looking at us while we stood there waiting and once they talked to us, they already had an attitude on them! Long story short, we didn't end up bowling here. read more

I love the 2 for Tuesday Special! The staff is great and the $2 a game and shoe rentals can't be beat! Each summer I always bring my classes to bowl. What I really love is the $2 Cheeseburger, $2 Fries, and $2 Jumbo Drink! Let's face it, I'm not a great bowler, but I love to eat! BUT this snack bar makes the best Fried Rice in da World! Yes, DA WORLD! I always tell my friends to try it when they're there, and they agree! Ask for a side order of an easy over egg on top. Then break the egg and watch the yolk slowly roll down the mountain of fried rice like lava! A sight for sore eyes! So the next time you're there, try it out. But when you combine everything there at Barbers Point Bowling Center, the experience is great! #killahgrindz read more

Amazing. Clean environment. Good prices. Recommend getting popcorn chicken and onion rings.

All I have to say is that this is the worst bowling alley. Period. Asked for a lane and they had one left. Lane 8. This Lane kept breaking down on us and mind that we paid for 2 hours. The scoreboard was completely inaccurate! I brought this to the employees attention a few times and then was finally fed up and asked for a refund. The "supervisors" refused to give me a refund and told me to keep score on paper! And then told me to just play for fun and to just disregard the scoreboard . Really??? I played all of 2 games with just the 3 of us after a hour and 15 minutes. The most they could have done was refund me back an hour. Assholes read more

What a fun and safe place for all to enjoy and get together. The price or cost to bowl is reasonable. Nice bowling lanes. Food is average. Drinks liked beer and soda are flowing cold and refreshing. Mahalo nui loa! read more

Came here for a family function on a weekend. A/C was extremely cool!! Perfect for the hot Barbers Point weather. Definitely can see the age in the upkeep here, but overall perfect for a family function with a bunch of kids and older ones alike. We all had a blast, we didn't get to try the food because of the numerous catering orders they had to fill, but the staff was amazing about everything!! I'll definitely consider planning a function here in the future!! read more

Driving from Hawaii Kai to this place for a party was not worth it! Staff is so unfriendly. Only got one worker at the main station to help get bowling shoes. She was not nice! I would not recommend this place. We should've stuck with Aiea bowl. This place really needs to fix thier custome service. Not good. Not worth the drive and money. Sorry , so unhappy . read more

We came here on March 9th with the family. There were 7 of us bowling and we wanted 2 lanes. There were 2 empty lanes available but we were second in line. We waited two hours for lanes. The 2 empty lanes that were available were held by employees who bowled (one each to a lane) and then went behind the counter eat and talk story after each turn. The lanes sat empty with their names on the screen for 30+ minutes before we finally approached the young girl at the register and asked for the manager. She said okay to my dad and went to call an older employee who came over and pretended to not see my dad. The young girl ignored my dad and did not confirm that she had called the manager. She also could not provide a time estimate when i asked how much longer we would have to wait. Very disappointing to see them treat my dad like that (no care or concern) and the lack professionalism. We were told that the two lanes were being used bc the two employees were waiting for their groups to come. Weird because the ad says "no reservations." The front staff was unwelcoming and very unconcerned about how long we waited, but the kitchen staff was great. They managed a lot of orders and even went out of their way to serve orders as well if customers were busy bowling. read more
