Sensory overload and I'm loving it!!!! Sights, sounds, feels, smells........it's got it all! Bowlero is a great time for all. This was my first time at a Bowlero. Though there are a few options out there for multi-experience venue's, I was pretty impressed with my first visit to Bowlero. Upon entering, we quickly got set up with shoes and a lane for the evening's bowling festivities. We were a group of 6 for a work event. Some call it "team building". I call it getting out and having some drinks, food and fun. I guess their both correct, but my sounds more awesomer. (--- It's a word!) As we waited for the rest of our group to arrive, we walked over to the bar and ordered a couple of drinks. Easy enough. Once we were all there, we saddled up with some sweet clown shoes, grabbed our balls tightly and let it fly! We played 2 games in total. With 6 people, that took roughly 90 minutes or so. There is a very handy touch screen POS system at each lane. We were able to order food and drinks throughout our games. There was one downside to the POS for ordering. Unless we were doing it incorrectly, we needed to order and invoice each individual order. By the end of the night, we had about 5 individual receipts to tally up for expenses. I'm not certain if there is a way to keep a card or tab open, but we did not readily figure out how. We did have chicken nachos and wings (ordered traditional, got boneless). Both were as good as expected. Would I go back? Totally. Whether you're going as a couple or larger group, Bowlero has a lot to offer. They did have a variety of video games as well, however we didn't venture over there. Friends, work or family, you're guaranteed to have a good time at Bowlero. And if you don't, well, I have a feeling that it's you and not Bowlero. read more

First of all, I called during the day to confirm the pricing and times for unlimited bowling. They told me the special unlimited spring break pricing ended at 6 and then the regular unlimited pricing starts after that. However, when I got here at 6:15 the person told me I would need to wait until 8 o'clock for the unlimited bowling. On top of it there were about 30 lanes open and they told us we would have to wait 45 minutes for a lane. The person that told us all this was Madison and she was not helpful or considerate in anyway. Then we started bowling and not one single server had come to our table to ask us how is it going or if we needed anything. Also, on a Friday night there shouldn't be one bartender . I went to get a refill on a Sprite and it took 10 minutes. I just wanted to walk behind the bar and make it myself. I do not recommend this place for bowling as it's VERY expensive and no one wants to help you out and makes you wait for everything . read more

We really enjoy coming here. Lots of things to do! Laser tag, arcade, and bowling. Food is also good!

Wow I have to say that this bowling spot literally feels like a party house! Filled with lighting, drinks, food and a whole lot of fun but what's cool about it is that all ages are allowed! Bring your entire family here for a fun time. I have to say for I had a lot of fun for the house we stayed here and the food and drinks are pretty enjoyable as well. Rented bowling sneakers since I don't have one and then we are off to our lane to go and enjoy the fun. Covid is still around and we had our mask on until we were eating and enjoying the food. Wouldn't mind coming back here! Only checked out the bowling side but they also have a ton of games all around the area. read more

This review is for pool and the cost of drinks. First, horribly over priced. A simple draft should not be $10. Nor should a mixed well drink be $15. Enough said on that. More important this place should NOT offer pool tables. While I understand this is a bowling alley, don't even give the option of pool if you are going to be so irresponsible about it. For $13 an hour you get: -Lopsided uneven tables. One leaned right, one leaned left and the third and final one had a giant hole in the felt and you couldn't use it. When I say lean, I mean you could place a ball down and it could roll across the top for a good 3 inches on its own. -They were filthy. Like want to take a shower, strange old hair and gunk on the top, FILTHY. -The place is large with a fire pit and massive arcade, yet I was cramped trying to shoot on the gross dirty table while sipping my overpriced drink. This was a disgusting experience and I was embarrassed to bring my family members here. read more

Super awesome bowling lanes, very reminiscent of Brunswick XL but with an upgraded arcade! Great place for a family day

Decent lanes. Lot's of special and cheaper days. Best of all they have lots of Stern pinball games! Lots and lots, though they are pro versions, not premium. Pretty good collection and well worth the travel from Godzilla to The Mandolorian and 007. Lots to do here. read more

This is the best bowling alley I've probably ever been to. Kim is the manager and she's the absolute best. Super friendly and professional. The whole staff is awesome and on it. The arcade is so fun we ended our bowling with laser tag! Came here twice on our 10 day visit! read more

This place gone downhill!, it's more expensive than Main Event and it's half nicer. Will not recommend this place!! read more

Fun place to bowl. Fun place to laser tag. Fun place to hang out.........................................................................

Advertising that they are open Veteran's day. Drove 45 minutes. Not open. Don't believe their website.

The pinball here is EXCELLENT! I come just for that! I like that it is separate from their arcade for the younger crowd. I'm a pinball enthusiast and its nice to see the selection here because they have tons of pinball games. Well done! Just well done! read more

Excellent customer service from Curtis, good food, clean lanes, excellent overall experience, do recommend.

Had a great birthday party here for our 9 year old son - super attentive and helpful staff service from Curtis and Veronica - great food & drinks for the kids, convenient bar space for parents who stayed, really updated arcade games and of course, a solid bowling alley for the 20+ kids in the party - highly recommend Curtis and Veronica to coordinate any upcoming events at this Bowlero location! read more

Went to Bowlero with my family for an afternoon of fun food and laughter this place is amazing I'm in a wheelchair and I was able to get right on the lane to bowl. It's fully automated scoring and very easy to use. It's clean tgey have drinks decent food and plenty of attendants ro assist you when needed. A server came to help with a food order and plates and napkins. Adult beverages and such. It was pretty busy. But you can call to reserve a lane to be sure you don't have to wait. Great place to spend a cold afternoon in. read more

Nice place but people who are saying it's cheap... it is not for 4 of us it was $85 for one game kinda outrageous... beer was $6 and food was over priced read more

Went today with my children and had wonderful service. The food was fresh and hot, all the staff were happy and very helpful. Thank you for the great experience. read more

If I could I would give this place a 0 out of 5 stars. My experience here consisted of being charged 30 dollars for a pitcher of miller light. Over oiled bowling lanes and a very unprofessional staff. My child was pushed to the ground in the arcade area. By whom you might ask? No not another child, but a teenaged employee of Bowlero. When I went to help my daughter off of the ground I was spit on by this unruly teenager that proceeded to hurl racial slurs at me. I tried to shake this experience off and enjoy bowling. They oiled the lanes up so much i slipped and fell and broke my C4 vertebrae. I am currently writing this in the hospital and have just gained mobility of my fingers back. I felt this necessary to try and help anyone stay away from this place as best as possible... be well and safe everyone read more

Our family went to Bowlero right before Christmas this year and had a great time. The food was good (so much better than your average bowling alley!) and the staff were helpful. I loved that my 5 year old niece could bowl with all of us using a bumper and that when her turn was over, the bumpers would go back down and the rest of us could bowl without them! We don't bowl much at all, but this is definitely on the list to do again sometime! read more

A good place for a birthday party. Allowed for social distancing and the kids had a good time. I appreciate the arcade cards that come with the birthday party so all kids have a chance to play read more

Bowlero Randall Road - At Bowlero! Happy birthday Emma! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Disgusting. We played pool here and see for yourself. Dirty, missing pieces, missing rubber weights, broken tops on the pool sticks, pool tables were FILTHY as were the stool tops and tables. Awful..we mentioned this to the cashier and all we got was a "hey can someone go clean the back area?" We were still charged full price for the time we played. Clean it up and charge accordingly. read more

See all

Awesome place and food is always good and service is a little slow but it's good services

EXPENSIVE AND.... Our lane went down (2 lanes actuslly that is) was our first time here. First impressions was WOW. Place is HUGE, really cool inside, and lots to do! You put a card on file and just go bowl. - they didnt say how much it was or anything. Total of 8 games bowled and it was $75 owch. I guess i am used to paying 99cents sunday mormings at brunswicks lol. But yah, our forst lane was jacked up, moved to a 2nd lane and it kept skipping people(ME) to be specific. They did end up comping 2 other peoples shoe rentals (as i have my own) and gave us 1 free game... but was still 70+bucks. Would i come back? Probably... im just not paying. Lol read more

Mannnn this has to be one of the greatest spot to go with some friends,DAN THE MANAGER is the goat man,made sure me and my friends had no problems and we left smiling and not spending too much either surprisingly ,great place!! read more

My daughter suggested we go Bowlero since she has been there many times with her friends and loves it. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was not too packed to play. Some times you go to these kind of places and have long wait times! It was affordable and fun for all ages. The food was typical for a place like this but delicious nonetheless. Staff was helpful and attentive. Would definitely recommend and return! read more

I may stink at bowling, but for some reason, I really enjoy knocking down pins (or attempting to-- I feel like the queen of gutter balls sometimes). Bowlero is a spacious place with a ton of lanes, a well stocked bar and a small snack stand. I assumed it would be super kid'y before going there on a date and was shocked to see it was kind of swanky! Not Pinstripes swanky, but still, it made an impression. The bowling lanes are a nice size. We didn't feel too cramped, even though we had families on both sides of us. There's a waitress that you can call over for drink or food orders, which is convenient. Our drinks were very good. I had a sangria-- super tasty. Everything seemed clean, too! I wouldn't go here for the arcade. They gave us a free arcade pass, but to be honest, nothing really floated my boat. I still have it in my wallet. I would have preferred a coupon on bowling! Kids will probably have a good time at Bowlero's arcade, though. I just prefer machines at other venues (like Round1 or Gameworks). Bowling at Bowlero is pricey, so be prepared for a hefty bill. It's not the cheapest of dates. If you sign up for their rewards program, you do occasionally get deals, so keep an eye out for those. read more

Very Fun atmosphere! Family all loved it and it was a great time out! Was a little pricey but was worth every dollar!

Family outing on half price game day!! Air conditioning is very cold and a great place to social distance and have fun! read more

Bowlero Randall Road - Game of the week:) - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

If you are looking for a place that's not enforcing masks come here. I'm sitting here now and there are two bowling lanes with multiple people in them with no masks on. Staff have walked past them multiple times and said nothing. I will give it 3 stars because it's clean and staff all have masks on. read more

Me and my wife came to the bar while waiting to pick our son up from a birthday party bar was only operational on one side beers were not cold more on the warmer side and glasses were dirty bathrooms were also very dirty do not go here read more

I really like this bowling alley, it's up to date modern in the bowling alley. I came in around 5 with my kids. The front desk girl started off strong but it all went downhill from there. She gave us a lane, started to bowl and had the bumpers on for the kids. When the adults started to bowl the bumpers wouldn't come down. No biggie, I walked over asked the counter girl to switch it to the first two bowlers with bumpers. She was not friendly at this point and said well it must be broken. So we switch to a new Lane. Start to bowl the guard comes down, wouldn't go back up. Still no big deal totally happens pin monkey guy fixed it right away. I again go to the desk and ask if we had a sever, now she's not friendly. She rudely said no you come here to order. That's ok, wasn't too busy in there anyways. I ordered 2 kids meals, 2 alcoholic beverages and an appetizer. Kids meals come, appetizer comes still no cocktails. Walk up to the desk again, ask about the drinks. Now she's a beast. She reply's well that's because I didn't put them in yet. Again not very busy, about 15 minutes later now I'm pissed. I walk up to the bartender who has a crap load of tickets spitting out at this point and he tells me yeah she just told me two minutes ago. At this point is been almost a half hour for two cocktails. I ask do you know where a manager is? They reply "not sure some where". So needless to say not sure if I'm going back, kids had fun. Adults were not happy. read more

Don't expect cheap bowling or short waits. I took a date here and signed in to wait for a lane. Just for the two of us. The person at the counter told me about an hour and a half for a lane or more. I knew it was Saturday and I knew it'd be busy, so no issues there. That is until we ended up waiting 3 hours. The longer we waited the more we spent money in the bar or arcade to entertain ourselves while we waited. Eventually we ended up relocating to the couch by the fireplace which was nice. There's a lot of nice features at this bowling alley....probably why you end up spending so much. So after waiting the 3 hours, I went to go see what was up at the counter. They were supposed to text me and let me know. I told them my name and how long I waited, turns out they couldn't even find my name on the list. Okay....so they ended up giving us a lane right away after all that. The kind of thing you roll your eyes at and move on. Bowling was fun until I went to the counter and got the price. I can't remember how much exactly it was, but after drinks and a few games of bowling, I had spent nearly a hundred bucks. If I do decide to come here again, it won't be on a Saturday. I'm more into the simple bowl, simple price. read more

I've visited this Bowlero on several occasions. Overall I love what it has to offer. Bowling, Pool tables, arcade and laser tag. The food is fairly decent as well. My only complaint is that there is not one GROWN UP working in the entire place. It's entire staff is filled with teenagers who are not being given direction at all. Every time I visit this place, I end up waiting longer then I need to (considering how many staff members are standing around just talking to each other). And when they do finally notice me standing there, they hardly smile and only half heartedly help me because they continue on with their conversations. On one occasion, I ordered food while bowling with my family and after a half hour of waiting and watching the server just standing around talking, I decided to bring it to his attention how long we've been waiting... turned out he forgot to put the order in completely. We waited another 20 minutes and paid for the whole order. No discounts for the inconvenience I am all for teenagers working! But, there should be grown ups giving them direction... read more

The food is pretty good and they have a pretty cool arcade and some slot machines. Bowling is cool if your a novice and have no idea what your doing. Who ever runs this place needs to fix whatever kind of humidity issues they are having inside the building. Any humid day and it's like walking on tape on the lanes which can make it dangerous for bowlers who slide while bowling. I have a feeling they really don't care about league bowlers because it's been an issue for over a month and they have changed nothing. Seems they would rather focus on cosmic bowl rather than providing league bowlers with a positive experience. I won't be a league bowler there again but may return on cooler days to bowl and eat some decent grub. At least the lanes are alllllllways drenched in oil, so no problem there. read more

Update: My daughter and a date went back this weekend to try again. I gave them the gift cards for three free bowling games. THEY COULDN'T USE THEM!!! They were for 12 year olds and under! We had no one that young on our first horrible visit!!! These people can't get it right ! She texted to tell me and I called multiple times and no one answered!!!! This place is a train wreck! read more

Had a family get together for my son's birthday, it was great! The set up was great. Clean beautiful facility with so much to do. The adults and kids loved it. The drink at the bar are great and fairly priced. Food was really good. I would suggest a alternate check in location or process for people with reservation. You have to stand in the general line for check in and the line can get long. read more

Absolutely a great place to have a good time. If your not a die hard bowler this the place to be. Drinks and entertainment is bountiful. A good time was had by all. Ask for Joe.......he's the manager and will bend over backwards for what you need. If you are die hard bowler this might not be for you because it is more of an entertainment center than a bowling ally. But if you wanna throw some stone down the lane and suck on some drinks this is definitely the joint to do it. Staff was punctual and very nice to the point I wanted to tip them over expectation. Very kid friendly and safe. Very covid clean and sanitized. read more

Great service and atmosphere! Haily was a great event planner for our special outing!

We hosted our daughters 13th birthday party here and it was fantastic! Our server, Jasmine, went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. The food options were basic but everything was delicious! read more

Service was nice last week...this time was bad, but I will give it to the new kiosks that staff is working out and that the manager made right on the issue. However, ordering on the kiosk, there is a mandatory 18% service fee...on already expensive drinks...but to ask for a tip on top of that, and now I'm the a$$$hole that's not going to add a tip, not cool. I hope the 'service fee' goes to the wait staff, if not they are getting stiffed. read more
