First off I start by say this place is BIG. There's plenty of lanes to bowl. They have a decent amount of arcade games & games where to can get tickets to win prizes. Definitely a fun spot to chill at. It was a little expensive though. They had a deal where you bowl 3 games & get an arcade card that wound up being a little over $100. That was with the shoe rentals too. We order mozzarella sticks (5 sticks) & 2 diet sodas for $20. The staff were help & there is plenty of parking. Bathrooms seemed clean. Definitely recommend this spot for a nice date night. Two thumbs up. read more

I'm not sure if I'm rating this correctly because we had a good time due to the company of the people at the party and not necessarily the location. The staff was cool and helpful so no complaints. It was an adult birthday party we had the section by the arcade just for us. Good spot for groups. read more

Great time with friends. Nice and spacious, tons of balls to choose from, fair pricing and clean. We didn't get to play at their arcade but it looked amazing. I'll have to go back for that. I highly recommend and I'll be back read more

Excellent Groupon deal for my family that was visiting from Trini. They had so much fun. The staff was friendly & absolutely helped us with all of our needs (which wasn't much)! I will definitely be back as the food & ambience was great! read more

Came in with a group for bowling - very clean and modern place, great food menu and the staff were wonderful. They didn't have everything on their menu available - including one of the items that I wanted - but all in all it's a good place to go if you're looking for a bowling alley with a modern bar and food - not dingy like you would expect from many bowling alleys. read more

Please read through - as this review starts off with what went wrong - but finishes with how incredibly well they MADE THINGS RIGHT (it's long - but a VERY GOOD REVIEW): Our family, along with neighbors and a few of our kids' friends, have made a tradition of spending New Year's Eve at Bowlero Mineola, particularly enjoying the early session from 5-7 PM. Having had such wonderful experiences in previous years, it became our go-to spot not only for New Year's but also throughout the year for playdates and gatherings, even with closer options available. However, this past New Year's Eve (2024) was a far cry from what we'd come to expect. To be honest, it was "a train wreck" with the service received there Unfortunately, the evening was marred by numerous issues: Several of the items ordered never came out - a shortage of plates, silverware, napkins (from the very start)... we ordered a gluten free pizzas as an add-on (my wife is a celiac and has food allergies - and there were very few options for her which wouldn't be cross contaminated... the GF pizza, pretty much made for one - was an added $30) and despite the extra charges - they thought this was to replace the regular pizza which was for the kids... plates were taken away while we were still eating (had to keep a watchful eye if you went up to bowl your turn) and the servers seemed clearly annoyed that they had to work on NYE - and took it out on the patrons with their attitudes, eye rolls and disappearing when anyone would ask for something. The overall attitude of the staff seemed disengaged and unprofessional, making it a disappointing way to ring in the new year. Amidst the chaos, Dylan Davidson, the Operations Manager, stood out. Despite being visibly overwhelmed with similar complaints from many families, Dylan took the time to listen, empathize, and offer a solution. He acknowledged the shortcomings, provided us with his business card, and invited us back to give Bowlero Mineola another shot. His professionalism, kindness, and understanding of the competitive nature of family entertainment venues were evident and appreciated. Last week, we took him up on his offer during a playdate with our son and three other families. With five boys and six parents in tow, we returned for a Sunday afternoon of bowling and fun. From the moment we arrived, Dylan's commitment to making things right was clear. He personally greeted us and ensured that everything--from service to gameplay--was flawless. Despite a packed house with league play and birthday parties, the experience was seamless. Our server was attentive and accommodating, and Dylan, along with another manager, practiced "Management By Walking Around," maintaining a visible presence, checking in with guests, and addressing needs proactively. The difference in service and atmosphere was night and day compared to our previous visit. This experience not only restored our faith in Bowlero Mineola but also demonstrated the power of excellent leadership. Dylan turned a frustrating situation into an opportunity to win back loyal customers. His efforts didn't just ensure a great afternoon for our group but also created a ripple effect: four families who are now excited to return throughout the year. Kudos to Dylan for embodying what it means to go above and beyond. His actions speak volumes about his character and his dedication to customer satisfaction. It's rare to see such genuine care in the service industry, and it deserves to be recognized. Hats off to him and the Bowlero team for turning things around and ensuring we left with smiles on our faces. We look forward to more fun times at Bowlero Mineola and are proud to share our positive experience. Thank you, Dylan! read more

Awful. Nothing more to even say I came here to bowl with some friends. The manager was rude. Every drink we got was disgusting. They refuse to take a drink off of the bill when we didn't even drink it because it was that awful. I will never come back. read more

I reached out to them about potentially hosting an event and they have contacted me no less than 20 times since, even after I let them know I was no longer interested. It's borderline harassment and today I finally blocked their number. read more

Came here on a Saturday night. Arrived right before 8 pm and was put on a guest wait list, about 1 - 1 1/2 hour wait due to various party reservations and many folks already there waiting to get some bowling action in. We gave our number and they texted us a confirmation and a second text when they were ready to give us a lane. You also have the option to text back and remove yourself from the list if you're tired of waiting. We chose to wait rather than drive around to different bowling alleys and possibly run into the same busy nights elsewhere. This location has a nice size arcade to take up time while you wait. There are 2 machines to purchase the arcade card and points; everything is digital via the arcade card, including the tickets which are loaded to the card after you finish a game. We spent $40 and got 119 digital points on the card. Each arcade game ranged from 2 to 9 digital points per play. Racing, basketball, hockey, zombie killing, matching, two player games and other arcade game options are there. Once done playing there is a machine to scan your card, see how many digital tickets you earned and choose prizes that drop like from a vending machine. We waited just under 1 1/2 hours, got the text to come up around 9:15 pm. Two games for 3 people and shoes came out to $106. The lane was clean and they have a waiter/waitress standing close by to help. Our waitress helped put the bumpers up in the lane and took our food order, which saved us time from going to the bar, ordering ourselves and waiting for the food. They put an automatic 18% tip on the bill for food orders done with the waitress. We got a mai tai, not too sweet and pretty strong, order of fries and Pepperoni pizza and fries from the kids menu. The food was good and the food bill came to $33 with the service tip. Not bad. The night itself was overall fun; while pretty busy and filled with people, the environment was positive and they had a nice mix of music genres playing. They also have large TV screens at the end of each lane showing different sports on TV or funny videos. Recommend for a family or date night out, if you're patient and don't mind waiting on a weekend night, then hit this spot up! Next time we go we will likely look to make reservations. read more

Went here for kids birthday party and it was really nice. I went to other locations and enjoyed it. They have a party package with food. There is an arcade for everyone to enjoy. Definitely coming back to play again! read more

We celebrated a kids birthday party here. The overall planning was fairly simple and easy. My only complaint was we requested specific lanes but did not receive them. Otherwise, everything was great! Allen helped us during our party. He was wonderful. Very attentive and always around if we needed anything. The food that came with the package was typical arcade food. We ordered the cheese pizza, fried Mac and cheese bites, chicken tenders and fries. We had unlimited drinks but only received one pitcher of lemonade. Unfortunately apple juice was not available for a party for 6 year olds. We ordered extra food, the mozzarella sticks and pretzel dippers. The mozzarella sticks took about 45 mins to come and tasted like I thought they would. Like frozen mozzarella sticks. The pretzel dippers never came. Our party was 2.5 hours but would not have been ready in time. We also ordered some drinks from the bar. We ordered pineapple and strawberry margaritas and were told the alcohol they used would be Casamigos tequila... that was definitely not the case. The margaritas had a medicinal taste. Allen was nice enough to exchange our drinks for different ones. We then ordered the Mule, Boozy Blue Long Island, and Forbidden Fruit. All were pretty good, much better than the margaritas. The alley was super clean as was the arcade. Some of the games were not available for playing and the rechargeable arcade cards were not working in the machine. We were able to recharge the arcade cards at the bar. I would definitely come back. Overall it was a great time. The birthday girl and guests all enjoyed! read more

Someone from my work place organized a little group outing to Bowlero Mineola in the middle of September on a Saturday. There were a total of 10 of us to a lane and our group leader organizer purchased a Groupon deal for 2 hours of bowling which included shoe rentals and food (wings, chicken fingers and pizza). The food was just average. Each person also got 2 drink vouchers that you could use. If you wanted the "better" drinks, then you have to use both of the vouchers for that one drink. The one staff member that was tending to us was very nice. There's a private parking lot and when we arrived around 7PM, there was plenty of parking. Masks are required and can only be taken off if you're eating or drinking. Their little arcade section wasn't opened when we were there. I did not use the bathrooms so I can't say how they were. Our group had so much fun we asked if they could extend our bowling time by another 30 minutes to an hour and that wasn't an issue. The place overall was very clean and there were two sections for bowling: normal lighting area and a black-light type lighting area. We were in the black-light type lighting area. read more

Update: so I actually had to come back after the Groupon situation because I was trying to purchase another one it said it never went through and did so I had up until tonight to use it or lose it! I took my daughter with me this time and she had fun but my visit was of course different this time around. I arrived 15 to 5 which is opening time after 5 I watched people walk past the door to not open it to me having to call at 5:15 and ask when would they open the door so I was a tad annoyed with this. Especially since I've attempted to come to this same location twice and couldn't they should at least open in time! Now the women that opens the door I say to her a few people left the doors were locked she replies " oh the front door is open" you have two entrances that doesn't matter your parking lot is in the back why would no one open the back door also? But OKAY! Now I finally get in there and the place was empty of course they just opened. Out of every lane there he put myself and my daughter in the back at the very last table in the corner. I wasn't happy about it and got moved then I was told that there is an event later which will be taking 3 lanes ok so what does that have to do with anything? I like to call this unnecessary information No server ever came to ask if we wanted anything I had to walk up to one to ask for a menu. I ordered a strawberry lemonade, lemonade and tenders with fries. Although I ordered the same thing as last time the cups were different for whatever reason I'm not sure. I definitely liked this location more on the first visit. Heads up if you bring kids and you want the bumpers up it has to be like that the entire game even for adults. This is def a thumbs down 1st visit! - Walked in to this bowling alley for the first time last night it was nice looking, clean, and there was also not many people. Upon walk in I decided to look and see if they had a Groupon and they did I took the chance of purchasing it on the spot because usually it can take 24 hours to process but we were lucky it went right through and we were able to bowl 2 people with unlimited games. we played 5games got shoes and paid $32 ! Great date night! We had a strawberry jug which was sweet and tasty! I also got the pretzel bites which were hot/salty that comes with a cheese sauce but I only took mustard. We invited some friends to come bowl and they did they same with Groupon and they got to sit next to us. read more

Definitely enjoy bringing the family here to bowl. Great atmosphere, food, employees are always nice and helpful. You can scan a QR code at your lane to order and pay for your food. The food is really good also. The quesadilla is what I get the most and fries. They give you enough fries to last for a couple of days. We usually bowl 2 games. They are priced a little higher than a regular bowling alley but you are paying for the atmosphere as well. You can save a little bit of money by buying your own bowling shoes. Even if you go 2-3 times a year it's still cheaper than renting shoes. Plus you know only your feet have been in them. The owner of the pro shop here is a Long Island legend, James Lizzo. So if you want your own ball and shoes, I highly recommend going to see him. Call ahead though to make sure he is there or make an appointment. The game room is a lot fun too. Lots to choose from and then you can pick prizes with the points you get from the games. Wednesdays the games are half price. Lastly, I saw a couple of reviews where people seemed shocked they had to wait on a Friday or Saturday for a lane. They have birthday parties that take priority over open lanes so you heard it first, if you go on the weekend you should expect to wait a bit. read more

I took my kids here this afternoon with groupons and it made for a very fun, affordable afternoon. The staff there is incredibly friendly, the place is very clean. Everything is simple and generally in working order. Some of the arcade games were out of order I'd say about 15% of them. But there are so many options, the games are also it too pricey so it took long enough for both of them to just want to use the card up. Not like D&B where it seems you run out of credits in 15 mins. And it costs a fortune. The food is OK. If it weren't for them I would bother with the food, but it was fine for their palettes. Kudos to the staff for being kind, helpful and respectful towards kids. I often feel people discount children as through they are not also people. It irks me to no end. My 12 year old was so impressed with the service he asked me to leave a bigger tip. So keep it up staff! This is how you forge future positive customer snd staff relations. read more

Big shout out to Mr Tyrece Thorpe, and the rest of the staff that hosted our mini gettogether Friday, December 27, 2024. Everything went wonderful and everyone, especially Tyrece, was more than hospitable to myself and the rest of my party. My wife came in with her friend on that Friday morning/afternoon to book the event for the adults and our children. Everyone that helped them plan it from the food to the lanes did an amazing job and I really wanted to say thank you. read more

I have visited Bowlero twice since moving to Long Island and have had enjoyable experiences both times. I like that there are two sections - one with normal lighting for the more serious bowlers and another for those who prefer cosmic bowling. The lanes and the arcade games are all very well maintained. Prices can be fair or a bit steep, depending on what day and time of day you arrive, but that's expected from a bowling alley of this caliber *shrugs. The service here, however, isn't the greatest, as we've waited a while for servers to come by to take our orders. Moreover, during our last visit, we were left utterly confused by the back and forth made by our server - to take our order, return to let us know our drinks were not available, to drop our drinks and take our cash, return to let us know she gave us back the wrong change and how much she charged us for our drinks, etc. We're still not sure what the confusion was. Maybe if there were prices on their menu it would've helped? We also stopped by the pro shop and met the owner, who is a bowling instructor, and thought he was super helpful and friendly. Anywho, I'd come back to bowl and check out some items at the pro shop, but whether or not I'd order food and drinks will depend on how generous I am feeling that night. Muahahaha read more

These three ladies at the front desk were very rude and considerate, and had a nasty tone while talking, they had no regard to any of my questions. I have never been treated with so horribly as I was today. With bad lane conditions (there was no oil), horrible staff, and 40 minute wait to be treated horribly. I would not recommend this shitty establishment if you want to enjoy yourself. Instead I would consider other options like AMF Syosset Lanes where the lanes are oiled and kept in good condition along with great staff who make you feel welcome like a guest. read more

Took my wife and two daughters after work / school on a Friday afternoon. We played one game each (no extra frames) and had to do the shoe rental. I thought there was a mistake when the girl told me the bill was $90. We don't bowl much but I've checked around and other places are much cheaper. I wished I had done that research before we went. I felt robbed. Posting to help other folks be aware of the pricing before they go. read more

Had a bunch of different parties here and we love it. The staff is nice and helpful, though you might need to ask for something a second time. Clean facility with nice, working lanes. Food is so good!! Try their fries, boneless bites, nachos, chicken tenders, and mixed drinks. The little arcade is fun too. Love when it gets later and they put on the night lights. Good music or sports are always on (prefer the music). Overall fun!! read more

Went to Bowlero last night with my friends. We had such a great time. The place is big, clean and spacious. The atmosphere is great as they play good music. The food was also good. Our server was very attentive, making sure we were doing okay. We ordered many things. The wings (salty) and the redbull tropical punch drink (tasted like plain lemonade) didn't meet the expectations. They have parking which was a plus. I would def recommend and come back to Bowlero in the future. read more

Found this bowling spot on yelp (plus). It is a cool spot to bring family or friends and chill. They had over an hour wait so make sure to call before just showing up. They have an arcade as well. This spot is cool and a great place to visit. Lastly, they have a private parking area. read more

Friday nights is definitely not the move for a family of 5.... 14 dollars a game, 7 dollars for shoes playing 2 games... add it up! Wings are 8 for 16 dollars.. $4.50 for seltzer water... used 2 groupons for 2 to come here @36 dollars each for 2 hours of bowling with shoes, paid 37 dollars for a extra member to bowl, that's 5 total. 3 sections of bowling with an arcade. So use your own discretion coming to bowlero in Mineola, and take advantage of the groupon to save... AMF in garden city is cheaper, as well as RVC lanes... Staff was good... See Seth upon Arrival! read more

It was clean, the food and drinks were good, I have no complaints! It was a fun time for my partner and I!

We came here on a Tuesday for their $2.88 games after 7pm. There was also a promo for one free game for First Responders, which stacked with the Tuesday pricing and was a nice little bonus I had while there. Even though they're operating at 50% capacity, it seemed very crowded the night we went. We had to wait about 40 mins since there were no lanes free (they leave every other lane closed), so if you are looking to take advantage of one of their timed promos, be there about 30 mins early. Even though lanes were spaced out, it didn't stop players from sitting in seats that were clearly marked DO NOT SIT. There were no barriers between lanes, so even though we were apart from the next party, they were a large party of 8 and were yelling the whole time, sometimes without masks.. The staff were all wearing masks, and enforcing mask-wearing among guests near the open areas, but once guests were at the lanes, there was no enforcement. Hand sanitizer was available at almost every other table. Staff were diligent with spraying & wiping down areas between guests, but the bowling experience was a bit too crowded for my comfort, so I'll probably wait until after covid to return. read more

Worst bowling place I've ever been to! Tell my why the forced us to pay for bowling sneakers when we already said we had bowling sneakers. They insisted we rent their sneakers even after explaining several times over that we had bowling sneakers. It was $160 for four people to play, horrendous pricing! It was not worth the money I paid to bowl when I've been to other bowling alleys and had better pricing. Not to mention they were ridiculously nosy, all up in our business and even shut down our game at one point because of the names on our board. We had nicknames on the scoreboard and they shut down our game. I paid to play in peace not to have to deal with people shutting down our game over something as stupid as nicknames! Honestly I will never, ever come back to this bowling place. I hope someone else out there has had a better experience here, but it was truly a terrible experience. read more

Today is March 4, 2023. It's 6:35pm. I just returned from Bowlero Mineola. Our party of 8 had purchased Groupon coupons. We got there at 2:54p and was put on the waiting list. The place was crowded which was usual for a Saturday afternoon. We were told there would be a wait time of 1 1/2 hours. No problem. After waiting the 1 1/2 hours, we were told it would be another 30-40 minutes. Again we waited. After another wait of over an hour, we were finally told that because of reserved birthday party reservations, it would be another hour wait time. We decided to leave after waiting 2 1/2 hours. My only problem is that it would be a courtesy to let people know from the beginning what is going on. It's not like you're not aware. The text that our lanes were now available came at 6:34p. Long after we would be allowed to use our Groupons. We will never return. Staff needs to be better trained. read more

Good place for bowling, it cheap enough and premium bowling plus they have an arcade which is reasonably price, they game are like 2-3 credits a play which is like $0.75 a play and the jackpots are like 500+ which is like $5 worth of prizes. read more

Came here early on a saturday night. For 2 people there wasn't a long wait. This place deff gets crowded with groups as it gets later in the night. They were accommodating and switched us over to the next lane when the pins reset early, when they weren't supposed to. Music is good. We ordered the pretzel bites which were veryyyy salty. But they were big chunks of salt which you could wipe off. Once it was wiped they were delicious soft pretzels with dip. read more

I did a Birthday celebration there and it was perfect! The service was quick and food was delicious! Thank you for a great experience. We will be back! :) read more

Went on a Saturday so I was prepared for the kids parties, not the mess all over the floors and the $11/game and 7 dollar shoes rental for a three year old who just used the ball roller, I made sure to bring no marking shoes because I understand, I've been in bowling alleys for years. Staff was helpful while I waited for the previous games stranded ball in the lane and the lane needed to be reset, it took 15 minutes. If you're a bowler who wants to get a child involved Saturday is not the day to start, I take partial blame on this. read more

One of the worst experience we have endured in a long time at this place. We went because we had a T-Mobile Tuesday code to redeem which entitles us to play one game per code , we had gone with 4 codes and wanted our kids to enjoy couple games as both my wife and myself weren't playing. They said as two players were playing the game all the codes were used and the person also tried to over charge us for shoe rental. Wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Amazing place to bowl. Our bartender, Mario, was great and provided great and timely service.

We have been here three times and have found it to be a fun date night place. Easy going staff and friendly fellow bowlers and the place is also well lit and clean. Wednesday night is unlimited bowling for about $15 person after 9 pm with some wine and pizza specials. We had a great wed night (bonus on the unlimited-I'm sure some people go there only at that time but we just happened on it) and I'm sure we'll go back. Maybe we'll play some video games next time too-also looked like fun. Nice job my staff making us feel very comfortable. read more

Nice place to bowl. Food is pricy and not good at all. Should let one reserve a lane for 1 hour not the 2 hour min presently on their web site. read more

Great vibes, definite adult night out or family time spot. Food is good, great bartenders, great music. Friday and Saturday night long waits and never any reservations available is the only downside. read more

The place is clean and cool inside. I took my boys and their friends. The waitress on our lane was very inattentive. I had to go to the bar 3 times to order more drinks and food. 25 minutes for her to come back to our lane. She was supposedly setting up a party but I saw her in the kitchen eating without cross coverage. The kicker is that the bowling prices are kind of hidden. We got one free game for a yelp check in but they consider each bowler per game. We bowled 2 games total. So We had 12 games minus free one. Cost $120 bowl with 6 people. Kind of ridiculous! The food is ok. The party sampler is $24. Small in size. Honestly I won't go back due to the prices!!! read more
