Fun time! We had a group of three for two hours. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Drinks are pretty pricey, but they had a good selection. Great place for family, friends, couples & kids. read more

Candice Hudgins was very rude to my party of 6. We're not from here. I was talking to her first. She explained the promotions.  The first promotion was $30 per person.I said that was high,  she told me not to interrupt her and to listen to all the promotions.  I stopped talking to her because that was extremely rude.  Another woman in my party took over. She began interacting with Candice.  Candice started to explain the promotions again. The price was high but we were still going to purchase a game or two. My cousin asked do they offer first responders discounts.  Immediately Candice was rude and defensive. She stated not since covid and IF the price was too high we could GO SOMEWHERE ELSE..  I refused to spend my money where someone was that rude.  I watched 3 other parties in front of us walk out too. read more

If you're looking for fun or a quick night out, this is your place! Great staff, great food, and the vibe is perfect!

Sorry to say this place has gone downhill since Bowlero took over. Poorly managed and they don't seem to care about the league bowlers who have been paying them regularly for years even continuing to bowl all through the pandemic. We reserved a lane for a Saturday and they gave it away before we got there so that they could make an extra buck. Sorry but that is not showing you care about your steady source of income who spend money there every week. Disrespectful to say the least. When speaking to the manager, he really didn't give a crap and did nothing to appease us. Told us to come on Easter Sunday and bowl. I asked why they didn't call to tell us they gave the lane away and he said he didn't have the number. Really? Then why do they have us fill out forms with all of our information every time a new season starts up? The should have all the league bowlers numbers on file. Disgraceful. read more

So update, we have ordered food twice... the first time they "lost" our order. So after an hour I went to check on it. They did take it off our tab and apologized. Tonight we ordered again, simple order burger and fries and hot dogs and fries. So when they brought out our food they hat tater tots instead of fries... so when I went up and asked she said they were out of fries...so they just assumed we liked tater tots... well guess what.. I cannot stand tater tots and would have ordered something else instead.... but nope..... no such luck... I think we won't be ordering food here anymore.... the only thing this place can get right is the drinks... Update: we had to post bowl due to the covid shot and after effects... so we reserve a lane for Saturday at 7pm.... We show up and they gave the lane away... We had already paid, did the right thing and they treat us like this..... yeah never again will we pay for all 8 weeks up front.... We have been bowling all through covid to help them out and this is the repayment.... Very poor management!!!!!! read more

Good Friday night bowling experience. There was no wait for a lane. $21/person (includes shoes) for unlimited games from 9 - closing. Reasonably priced snack bar and drinks. Table service. Kitchen was a little backed up (1 hour wait). The lane seating is a little tight. read more

Bowlero Riverview - Bowling Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I came here on Black Friday and bowled with my boyfriend and his family. We chose this place as it was the most convenient location for us. We were able to get two lanes shortly after getting here. Maybe only 10-15 minutes. We went to the bar area where we got drinks. I got Sprite and Tito's The bartender makes them strong! When we were bowling, our lane ran into several issues while we were playing. From incorrect pins being knocked down to what was showing on the overhead screen to having to get our lanes reset. Their system seems a little dated and could really use an upgrade for a more enjoyable experience. When I go to Oak Mountain Lanes in Pelham, we never have issues and it's even fun cause you can upload your pictures on the screen and play against your friends. I waited in the food line nearly 30 minutes and gave up once I heard people were waiting an hour to 1.5 hours for their food. It did look good, but in the future I would probably eat first before coming here to play so I can enjoy more of my time bowling and less time waiting for food. It's still a fun time here, but it could be better. We definitely need a good place to bowl on 280. read more

The atmosphere here is amazing!!! We went here last night as a group and had the best time. Service was great and the food was five stars!! I definitely recommend the wings, so crispy and tender! We will be going back! read more

My family and I had SUCH a great night at Bowlero! We haven't bowled in a long time and forgot how much fun it is. Everyone had a blast. The facility was clean and orderly. The lighting and the music were ideal. We all had so much fun and I'm excited to go back in the future. I'd like to mention that Lane S. went above and beyond in helping me schedule my event and at the bowling alley, Carla did such a superb job making sure my family and I had everything we needed to enjoy our time. I didn't get his name but the man attending the bar was excellent as well. All around great customer service and exceptional experience. I highly recommend this bowling alley and I hope to go back again. read more

It is literally impossible to find a bowling league. I talked to a manager. She told she didn't know when the new season started

Profiling at its best! This place is poorly managed and the bartenders are RUDE! I was ask for my ID, I handed it over with no hesitation the bar tender (blonde headed old looking lady) questioned my age. I am well over the legal drinking age. I wanted to buy two drinks. The bartender proceeds to say "I need the ID of the other person you are getting the drink for" that was no problem with me, my boyfriend who is always over the legal age of drinking comes to show his ID. However, I noticed a customer who was in front of me ordered THREE drinks with no ID check. When I ask how was he able to order three drinks she says he has a tab open and he LOOKS over 40. She also said she gets a lot of fake IDs, so she has to double check. The manger (short blonde hair old lady) was called over from the food truck to I guess assist with the situation. She had nothing to say but "it's our policy" so Bowlero's policy is to accuse young people of having fake ID's and picking and choosing whose ID they want to check? To me this treatment isn't fair at all! Also the guy bartender was so rude and loud I felt unsafe! I don't not recommend this boring bowling alley! They are unprofessional and lazy! read more

This place is dishonest. They will add tip after tip and charge it to your card for every transaction. Looks way better online, in person it's run down. Update: I called and apparently they add 18% tip to every single transaction.. ridiculous to be charged 18% tip for someone to hand you a drink. One foundation drink is $5 also. Movie theater prices for a run down old bowling alley they slapped paint on. Don't go to this place, oak mtn lanes is 20x better. read more

Our group had the best time Friday night! The manager was very kind to accommodate us with our lane requests and our Groupons. Brian was attentive to our food orders and made sure we got what we wanted. And then there was Lawrence! This guy loves to help people enjoy bowling. He gave us bowling tips, encouraged us, laughed with us, and took our picture. He is a gem and a true asset to the company. Plus the alley is clean & sanitary; the mechanisms work; the music is good...need I say more? You need a night out! Go!! read more

If it has the same look and feel of Brunswick, then you'd be correct. Some small changes getting implemented, tis is the same quality lane that it was previously. Many of the same staff still working here providing the same quality service you have come accustomed to. From bowling leagues to open bowling they have it all. Remember that they have specials, especially during the summer, that are focused on getting youth and family out and learning the art of bowling. Some really great deals/incentives to get you coming back on a regular basis (pay one and come daily). Food services, for where you are, are exceptionally good. They have a small kitchen area and get orders out, typically in pretty quick time frame. Food quality is always good and I've never been disappointed (remember, don't compare this to a 5 star restaurant...compare it to what you've had at other bowling facilities). Bartender services are top notch and prices are reasonable. Staff are always friendly and get to know the customers as more than just customers. If you're looking to see who's king of the lanes, bowling on a prayer, or simply are just making a split decision to come bowling. Check out Bowlero. read more

There is no other place to bowl in the Birmingham area! Great lanes, and great people! I've been bowling here for almost 20 years! read more

08/08/2021, Bowlero Riverview, 2908 Riverview Rd, Hoover, AL is a terrific place for bowling, nice lanes, good service. Also, Kandis is very nice by the way she asks how we are doing, and she is very knowledgeable about bowling. At the food counter, Patricia F is very nice and the young man is very nice too. The food is terrific! God bless! Mark N Tim Elders read more

i came here on a friday night with some friends. the initial price we were told was around $6/game per person. so we expected to pay around that but when we finished bowling we were told the cost didn't include the shoes. this was never told to us, so that was a bit annoying since the rental of the shoes was almost the same cost of one game. overall, this is your typical bowling alley & something fun to do. the communication & management seem to be a bit off. read more

This location is pure convenience for us. The only reason we go to it. Prices are crazy! Staff is good... food okay but as a family of four we can easily spend $200 in one night. This is bowling two games, snacks, and drinks. I had no clue it could add up that fast. The facilities are okay. Not the cleanest... always dark when we go in and I can see the filth in those conditions. My daughter wants to have a bowling birthday party. So I quoted while there and compared to other places... it was easily $150 more than other places and that's with no packages. The packages where WAY more than others. I would suggest going out of your way to go to other places to bowl. We will from now on. read more

I love this place! My family joined a league this year and we are loving it! The manager Cody and the bartender Cameron stand out with exceptional customer service and friendliness. I highly recommend coming here. Plus the food is delicious! (My favorite is the popcorn!) read more

They are lazy and always have 15 lanes open but always say that there reserved for the people on the waitlist. So you have to wait for 2 hours just to get on a lane even though they have plenty of lanes. They need to get better and managing there customers and stop worrying about satifying their late customerss that are affecting the enjoyment of others. They always use the excuse that they have to call out all of the reserved peoples lanes, but why dont you jusg call them out simultaneously. Dont recommen. read more

If you're looking for arcade games like I am, this place is just as bad as it was under the prrevious management. Just a small collection of kid gambling and phone games. Think Dave and Busters, but without the volume that at least gives you a few good games.. read more

BE AWARE OF YOUR PRICE BEFORE YOU HAND OVER YOU CREDIT CARD Last night I visited this location to bowl. I arrived around 7:40pm I spoke to the girl at the desk and explained that I wanted the Monday Special 8pm-11pm unlimited bowling for $14.49. I told her that I would wait to 8pm for that. She said you needed my credit card to assign me me lane. She assigned me a lane. I waited at the lane until 8pm. I started then. I finished around 10pm and went back to the counter. She then told be my charge was for 52 bucks. I told her I was doing the special. She said I didn't tell her that. I explained yes I did she wouldn't change the charge. I revisited the site thinking I may have misread the posting on their website. I called her back after I left to ask her why she would charge me that much knowing that the special started at 8pm. I asked her for the manager. She told me I should have told her that I wanted the special. I argued that it doesn't make since , Why would I want to pay $52.00 instead of the special @ $14.49. She told me sorry that there was nothing she could do and cut me off. Be aware of this. This is a typical bait and switch tactic and shady business practices. I find this very disappointing considering I have bowled here for several years and have always given good referrals to my fellow league bowlers to visit this location. My opinion obviously has changed. read more

So on a Sunday afternoon with maybe 6 people there we were informed that all lanes were reserved by the bowling leagues which I completely understand but my question would be why would even stay open to the public if technically you're not open to the public. Makes no sense to to at least not inform your customers on your website or at the minimum a sign on the door. Thanks but I'll take my business down the road where we were welcomed and had a lane in 15 minutes. read more

They tell us they getting remodeling leave the lanes outside in the weather nice staff tho just really question the corrupt side of the business they been closed two months and I would bet 500 dollars they ain't don't the remodel while they had the time to read more

I have been waiting an hour for a bowling lane to open up. i just wanted to go out and have a good time with my friends but they haven't given us a lane. there has been plenty of people to walk in after us and get a lane before us. it is unacceptable. i will not ever spend another dollar at this establishment and i hope they fix this. read more

WORST experience EVER! Staff was unfriendly and inefficient. They put us on the wait list and added people IN FRONT OF US to keep us waiting longer. Kept lying and saying it wouldn't be much longer. We were supposedly 4th in line but they called 7-10 names before we just walked out... We played in the arcade and ordered from the bar. Finally we just left. I will NEVER come back here, and I hope you never go! read more

If I could give it less stars I would! We have never been to this place before and we will never come back. In appearance it is a nice place to bowl, nice equipment and what we thought was a nice atmosphere. We paid to play three games instead of doing the unlimited option that they offer (which I might add is more expensive to start and only worth it if you plan on bowling all night.) I am glad we only paid to play three games because shortly into our second game we started to get harassed by the UNDERAGE drinkers next to us. They were threatening to "Kick our A**" and that "we didn't known where they were from." I spoke with management and they could have seemed to care less. I am sorry but that is not the way you run a business. I am also pretty sure that its ILLEGAL and has a heavy fine for giving alcohol to UNDERAGE children. Save your money unless you enjoy being harassed and management doing nothing about it. read more
