Our favorite go to spot for bowling! It's clean and well maintained. Has great diner food options. The service is always on point. AND they have a cute little arcade where you can pass the time if you need to wait for a lane. Also they have bumpers for kids and the ball slides readily available for first time bowlers! read more

Bowlero Orange County - Bumpers, ball slide and a boy. - Bowling Near Me - Tustin, California

Spent a Sunday afternoon with my family and it's a bummer to see how much this place has changed. We booked online to make sure we had a lane, that was our first mistake. We got to the lanes, asked to add two more, not a problem but then was met with rudeness when we asked to have the lane next to ours since we would now be 8 bowlers. Second issue, we saw an unlimited bowling deal when we checked in and asked to change to that, the girl checking us in as like "yeah, no that's only when you're here". Third issue, I ordered a martini and got maybe 1/2 a glass. I wouldn't have ordered a $30 drink to be met with an empty glass. Final issue, I was leaving the restroom and it's a blind corner, that we can all agree on, a server came around the corner, almost took me out and then had the audacity to make a comment along the lines of "wow, okay". Overall my experience was not great. I'm glad I got to spend time with family but ultimately the staff can't be bothered and shows that Bowlero is just an over hyped bowling alley. read more

I prefer bowling at this location. It's clean and nice facility. We always come here when we have a choice of bowling location. It's a great way to have some fun! They do have a bar, a little arcade and the food is actually not bad if you want something to snack on while you are bowling. read more

Kinda crazy that bowling alleys are no longer insanely busy, but bowling is such a vibe. It's nostalgic, it's team camaraderie, and getting a strike is the best. The deals here are very good and it's nice to bowl before or after you eat. (Located in The District, there's tons of good restaurants around!) read more

Staff was very rude and short tempered with us during our visit. We came for the family event and by the time our waitlist lanes came up it was past event time. We were fine paying for the kids to play but staff tried to have us wait again when we arrived a few minutes after the text came through while ww were finishing kids choosing prizes in the arcade. The claw machine for little kids was broken. We asked about filling up a water bottle for our kids and instead of kindly explaining rules about outside water bottles staff used a rude tone with our family member when we asked for a cup of water instead. As a family with children with special needs its hard enough getting out with our kids for a community play date, but with experiences like this I don't think Bowlero in Tustin is a welcoming place for kids, especially those with special needs. read more

Stumbled into this bowling allay. It was not busy, only waited around 15 minutes and got our lane. The place was really clean and the vibe was uplifting. We planned just to kill some time , but at the end it was so much fun , we ended having second round of game. Highly recommend this place! read more

I'm awful at bowling, but Bowlero was a fun place for date night. My boyfriend and I came on a Friday night so there was quite a bit of a wait. I'd definitely recommend making reservations online to avoid the wait, but it really wasn't that bad. The service was excellent and the vibes were great. You can have the bumpers on or off, but we kept them off. There's lots of bowling balls to choose from to make the experience better for players who might need a lighter or heavier ball. We only came for a round of bowling, but they also have some arcade games as well as small bites and drinks. read more

I honestly don't know who taught them hospitality, but they need to spread that knowledge everywhere! From start to finish, the service was absolutely amazing. Everyone was so kind, respectful, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. As someone who isn't a huge fan of throwing parties, I was honestly surprised by how relaxed I felt having my event here. The staff made everything so easy and stress-free that I'd actually consider throwing parties here more often just because of the service alone! The decor was set up beautifully and everything was so neat and organized. The staff constantly checked in to make sure everything was running smoothly, and neither my guests nor I ever went without anything. I Looooooooooooooooove them dearly! They made the whole experience so enjoyable, and I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a place to host an event. read more

I hosted a birthday party of 15 on a Sunday, I took a chance as a walk in and got there at opening to get 2 lanes.. Judith the manager accommodated us even though they had several parties going on. Although we didn't book ours as an event, they still gave us equally great service. Our server was Leslie and she really took care of us. She even found marquee letters to spell my husband's name! No one rushed us, they let us bring our own cake and even gave us plates & utensils. The drinks were good and the food was excellent for a bowling alley! We had 4 orders of nachos! plus wings, chicken tenders, hummus, everything great! The bowling alley is clean & modern with a great vibe and solid management. I want to come here more often! read more

I love Bowlero! I used to go to their LA locations all the time when I lived out there, so I already knew the vibes were good--great service and always a fun time. This was our first time visiting the OC location in Tustin, and I really liked it. The place wasn't too big or too small, and it was pretty clean, which is always a plus. We came here to celebrate my birthday and had so much fun bowling. Since it was just the two of us, we didn't order too much--just a few drinks and the truffle fries, which were AMAZING. Seriously, 10/10. Our server was also awesome. Even with other parties going on, she made sure we were taken care of and did a great job. I also love that this location closes late. It's perfect if you want to keep the fun going at night with friends or loved ones. Definitely a great spot for date night too. Thank you for a great experience! I'll definitely be back--and next time, it'll be with a bigger group for even more fun read more

Bowlero is a bowling alley that, along with its sister companies Lucky Strike and AMF, has multiple locations across the country. This location in Tustin is located at The District on the second floor next to Planet Fitness. They have ample parking but during busy times and weekends you might be parking far from the plaza and walking over. There is also valet parking available. You can reserve lanes online where you can play by the hour but they don't have that same deal in person. They had a special where we pay for two games ($13/game) and the third game is 50% off. Including shoe rentals ($6.50/pair) it was $40/person. For two people it equated to $10 per person per game which is not bad. We arrived at 7:30pm without a reservation and waited about 45 minutes for a lane. You can order food and drinks from the screen at the lane which was convenient so you don't need to walk to the bar. I liked that the bowling balls had different sized holes for the different weights; I don't know if that's always been a thing but it was nice for those with different sized hands. I also liked that we could enable and disable the bumpers electronically and also on a per person basis. What I wasn't a fan of was that the pins were on strings and sometimes they hit other pins making it look like you hit them but they didn't count. When we were here there were a lot of birthday parties and events. There was also an arcade, a sports bar with TVs, and free WiFi. The arcade card costs $2 and all games are 3-10 credits to play. They're open late night and get busy so I'd recommend reserving lanes online. If not, you can use the arcade or bar to pass the time. read more

Bowlero Orange County in Tustin is a great place for old fashion bowling. This chain with other location in Anaheim, Whittier and Riverside. This site is located by Tustin Legacy inside Park Place Plaza -- just a quick note that visiting Sunday a good portion of the parking lot is fenced off for farmer markets and vendors. The bowling venue is located on the 2nd floor next to a fitness gym. The inside lounge have a nice vibe with upbeat music and a bar do make it feel more like a mini-party than just a game of bowling. It's a fun place to chill and hang out with friends and family. The staff ((shout‑out to Amy and Jay (I think)), were friendly and helpful to our group who got more than our fair shares of stuck gutter balls. You could also order food directly from lane control's boards but it's pricey. Oh, there's also a Photo Booth which is fun in itself. :) read more

It was fun but I was charged for 4 games for playing 2 games with 2 people, last time I came they charged per game but this time they charged per person, when I brought it up to staff the basically said they don't care read more

Super rude wouldn't honor the Groupon and was irritated. The gal was nice but the manger was rude and basically had SOL attitude

One star for bizarre food experience. Staff was nice and bowling was fun. But spent tons of money only to be told they could not sub flour tortillas for corn on my tacos. I'm gluten free! So weird they would not accommodate that. Then I decided to get the chicken bowl instead of tacos.... Only to have the server come back and say they couldn't make that for me either because they ran out of the honey glaze. Totally fine, I'll take it without the glaze. Nope! They wouldn't make it. So then I had to find something else to order! Such a weird kitchen! Only conclusion is that they make everything ahead of time and reheat it, hence the no substitutions. Bowlero is not worth the money. Go have fun at a cheap bowling alley instead of spending $$$ here for the "elevated bowling experience". Missed the mark big time. Bummed I wasted the money. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon using the Summer Pass--got lucky with no long lines! Everything went super smoothly and we were able to start bowling right away. The place was packed with people, lots of parties going on, and the vibe was great. After bowling, we checked out the arcade. Not a huge selection of games, but still fun to look around. read more

Bowling was fun but our server was the highlight of the evening! Evon, thanks for making a birthday even more fun and memorable! She was funny, patient, and attentive to all of my and my friends needs. Advocated for us to get our bowling lanes early also! 10/10 would come again and request Evon as the server! read more

Came here on a Saturday around 12:30 pm. Great bowling experience. It is convenient that you can order food from a screen from your lane. It is disappointing that they no longer have the big pretzels. Had to ask for soda refills. Women's toilets were disgusting. Stains everywhere on the toilets. I die. read more

Came here around 12:30 on a Saturday afternoon. Coming at this time is perfect since they open at 11am and it's not too crowded. Our first lane was not registering when we bowled, which was annoying but the staff was nice enough to switch us to another lane. This was lane number 5. They sent someone to fix lane 5 while we were on lane 6; with that being said we didn't feel comfortable throwing a ball down our lane while someone was fixing the lane (at the end where the pins are). I understanding needing to fix the lane, however you'd think if they're doing this kinda of procedure they would move everyone far from that lane. Waited 20-30 min for the guy to be done. Then we order a beer on the iPad at the lane. 30ish min passed and we still never got our beer. Went to the bar and they had the order, however the bartender (Tyler i think his name was) was in the "bathroom". Nuhuh not for half an hour dude. Even if that was true there's not a single other person that could have poured one beer in 30 min? Never been here before and will most likely not be back. read more

They make you wait until you can get more beer like a child. Weird rule. Tower was split among 10 people and they're making us wait allotted time to get more beer? Like do they not want money? read more

Disappointed to say the least. Got there at 9:15, there was a wait. Okay, no big deal. We'll just grab dinner. We finally get the text after 45 mins, hustle over, get there a little after 10pm. Won't let us pay for the hour, only for one game, which we didn't realize, and it was $65 for 3 people. And they had the nerve to ask for tip... Yea no tip buddy. Game was fun, I bowled a 127 which was chill for me. That's when we realized we couldn't playa another which was annoying. We were like alright, let's just finish our beers and watch ratatouille which was playing on the screen. It was getting to the best part where the reviewer guy is about to try the ratatouille at the very end. And boom the lights turn on and the screens turn off. Place doesn't close for another 20 mins. So we finish our mid blue moons and walked out with our heads held high. Safe to say I will never be coming back here again. read more

The ambiance was chill but the experience was less than up to par. We noticed the bowling pins are now attached to strings which makes the fall more controlled . We were rolling the ball straight down the middle and what would normally be strikes were not even sometimes when there was two left and a pin will hit the other pen. It still wouldn't lock over when it normally would, I will definitely be going back to fountain bowl after this experience here. I did appreciate that they had a tech system for the weight since the weight was 45 minutes to an hour and our lane was called exactly 45 minutes after check-in. The employees were also very helpful. And one person in our party war size 15 in men's and they actually had his shoe size and we were very surprised about that because a lot of places don't usually carry his shoe size so I will say as far as shoes experience is concerned they are very accommodating. read more

Great modern bowling alley in The District shopping area at Tustin Legacy. It is located on the second floor on the opposite side of the AMC theater (next to Planet Fitness). I recommend parking at the Petco or Whole Foods lot and then walking over. I purchased their annual summer pass for around $40, where you can bowl for as many days as you want (2 games + shoes). It is such a great deal! They also have a "premium summer pass" which includes arcade credits and can be used at any location (the standard pass can only be used at one location). Bowlero takes lane reservations but I do not recommend it unless you are planning a party or big event because the reservation prices are very very expensive. I never had to wait too long for a lane here. What's frustrating is I noticed prices for bowling are not clearly displayed anywhere at the counter (and not on the website either), which is a shame because I believe prices are pretty affordable. Based on other reviews I believe they are around $10/game plus around $6 for shoe rentals? With the summer pass you only need to go two times to get your moneys worth. Take advantage of the summer pass, otherwise ask for prices before you commit to anything! read more

We held a special birthday party here one weekend for my better half. We were a group of 12 (11 adults and 1 child). Madison Martino helped me evaluate packages and we ended up simply booking 2 lanes. I was able to pay for the lanes/shoe rental and with a discount code, it seemed pretty reasonable. Don't get me wrong, it was expensive, but Bowlero isn't just a bowling alley, it's a whole experience. Why is it a whole experience? Maybe it's the technology where you can simply select bumpers for certain players and the bumpers will turn on and turn off when it's the correct person's turn. Maybe it's the vibey music that plays in the background or the giant screens that play music videos and movies (we had that animated Spiderman movie playing during our time). Maybe it's the full service that's available direct to your lane or the full bar with exciting drinks. Or maybe it's the cool game room set in the back to add another element of play/fun. Whatever it is, this isn't your typical bowling alley. Some notes on our party: ***Cute set up: At the back of the lanes, the staff set up a lighted sign that said my better half's name, along with water, cups etc. We also used this space to hold the birthday dessert we brought, gifts and later our beer tower that we ordered. ***Tax: Bowlero offered another package that included food but that package had tax. We saved a lot of money just buying the lanes and we still had access to their party platter food. We ended up just ordering off the menu and then paying tax on that bill...way less than paying full tax on the whole shebang. We'll be back! read more

OK, to start, I am a person that bowls 2-3 times a week. So I'm going to be critical but fair and honest. We were here recently with a group on a Friday Night at peek hours-place was packed. Service/staff: 4 *'s People working there were genuinely nice and helpful. We did have a group, so we prolly got extra attention. But overall the bar/waitstaff did a great job. The vibe in the place is fun and upbeat. Service and attitudes were great. Food: 3*'s Food was acceptable, fries were good, pizza was so-so, wings were pretty bad. Many bowling alleys have very good food. I would say theirs is below average. Facilities: 2*'s It's very cramped. I am not even sure the lanes are regulation width. There is little room between you and the lane next to you and people often have to step into your lane to hit a 6/10 pin. Machines work well and all, but the string pins just make it weird-I knew coming in they were string pins though. I wish they would come up with a better solution, normally I would never go to an alley with them. Cleanliness: 0-Zilch Sorry -not sorry, this place is filthy. It's one thing to run a filthy restaurant, but it's also a very important part of bowling. You literally could not slide on the lane approach because the floor was so sticky-covered with gunk. This is actually dangerous, and several people in our group that are regular bowlers almost fell including myself. When you can't slide, all of your weight goes to your knee and your knee expects to move forward. Really good way for someone to blow out their knee. If the floor on what is supposed to be the cleanest part of a bowling alley is that dirty, it makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. Summary: There's things management can and can't do here. They can't change the horrible string pins, and they can't make the building wider. But they could improve the food. They also, NEED to clean the approaches and oil the lanes. The lane conditions were horrible, completely unacceptable-my bowling shoes were coated with black gunk by the end of the night as were my wife's-hers looked like she ran through a forest. @Management: lane approaches need to be mopped and cleaned once or twice daily with a dry mop and then a wet mop with actual lane cleaner (yes it exists). There's no way these lanes had been cleaned properly in the last week. The rental shoes also should be cleaned. The whole place, in general is disgustingly dirty and grimy. https://www.kegel.net/balance Now let's talk about lane Oil. It was no existent for the first 10 feet, then there were like puddles in the center at the end of the lane. It's almost like nobody working here, actually knows anything about bowling. Last gripe, the music selection-pretty bad. Mumble rap for 2 hours was starting to drive me nuts. Overall, I would never go back, not because of the service-it was quite good, and that's the only reason this review isn't a 1 star. String pins + filth + non maintained lanes + mumble rap. No thank you. read more

If you are looking to bowl somewhere where the lanes are oiled, the pins are in good shape, and your bowling shoes slide on the hardwood, DO NOT COME HERE. They didn't clean up huge shards of broken glass form a drink that was spilled, then got pissy when I asked them to clean it up. Like bro , if we stepped on that it would have been bad, and we would have SUED. Can't believe how many times I told 4 different employees to just do their job. Also, I left a tip for the one nice lady that actually worked there, and I'm sure their grumpy ass manager pocketed it. 0 thank yous, terrible service. If you see the manager out and about, tell him a yelp reviewer said GO TO THERAPY. I have a list of grievances for my experience but I'll save yall the time and just say PICK ANOTHER SPOT. read more

I came here on a weekday afternoon. It didn't look crowded but apparently a lot of the lanes were reserved for parties. I arrived at 5 and was quoted 1-1.5hr wait. I wasn't expecting such a long wait time for a weekday but decided to wait it out and go grab dinner outside in the plaza. I waited for their text but it never came. At 7pm(2hr later), I went back to check how much longer and was told another 1 hr! I wasn't up for waiting any longer and decided to come back another day read more

I went here last weekend with another family. We were looking for an elevated bowling experience with better food and vibe than Irvine Lanes. I have to say the prices were elevated and the bowling was nice, however the bathrooms were DISGUSTING. We had a 2:30 reservation and ended up spending almost $700 for 4 kids 4 adults (2hr bowling plus shoes about $310, food and drinks $265, and $100 arcade card. For that level of spend I would have expected cleaner facilities. read more

Bowling isn't my strongest skill, but this place turned it into a genuinely fun night out. Even when it's busy, the atmosphere stays upbeat and well organized, and the staff keeps things moving smothly. The lanes are clean, the lighting and music add to the energy, and there's a good selction of equipment that makes the game comfortable for all skill levels. I also liked having the option to mix bowling with arcade games and easy food options without feeling rushed. Its a solid spot for a casual date or hanging out with friends, and overall it delivers a polished, entertaining experience that's worth coming back for. read more

Our family has visited this Bowlero location 3x and I have to say each time has been a blast. The location is amazing and the staff here are beyond nice. They all go out of their way to help and accommodate you. We showed up last night with 18 of us and the staff went above and beyond to work with our group. From checking in, payment, shoes, food orders, using our gift cards and the list goes on and on. Give the staff a raise!! We will definitely be back! read more

Helped to host a 12-15 people company bowling event here, and it was quite a ha-PIN-ning place! We had two lanes that shared two small, surfboard-like tables in the middle for food and drinks. There were also other company groups bowling next to us. Fun "night out" low-lit neon lighting atmosphere with upbeat energetic music, including top hits and 90s throwback. On the pricier side event for $/headcount, though worth it cause we all had fun spending our SPARE time here! Had to shout a bit to make conservations, but hey, none of us hesitated to cheer at the top of our lungs when a coworker made a X. We selected our company package to come with rental shoes, drinks, and food (mozzarella sticks, chicken tacos, chicken tenders, salad, pizza), and service was quick to take our drink orders. Food came out within the first 30 minutes while we bowled and once most people arrived. Food is served down the steps behind where we bowled and was kept warm in trays. Decor is ADORABLE! They had various signs that say "Strike", "Spare", "Bowl". We happened to STRIKE a deal with a special one that had extra sparkles of twinkling lights! Food recs? The chicken tacos were DELICIOUS! We had expected chunks or shreds of chicken... instead it came out in this soft texture that was so good we thought they gave us the wrong order of fancy fish or something. We bowled for two hours. Plenty of time to play a few games and small talk in happy hour vibes after work. There's no abrupt indication that your time is up (no buzzer nor does the machine suddenly stop)... but a staff will come by to courtesy let you know your time is up. read more
