Robert was our contact person and he was responsive and answered all our questions prior to the event. Michael and Aram worked with us the during the event. They had everything set up when we arrived and helped arrange our desserts. They were super helpful and so nice to our guests. We didn't have them cater food as we were having the event at 7 pm so just had desserts. But we've been to another party there and the catered food was good....typical bowling alley food but good quality. We hosted the bar and they have beer and wine and a variety of sodas. All of our friends had a blast. Everyone bowled and it was a great way to break the ice and have people mingle. Our guests definitely had a great time. If you're looking for a fun and easy way to have a party look no further. It's a tad expensive, but seeing how much fun everyone had it was well worth the money. Thanks Montrose Bowl for a fun celebration.

Restrooms on the premises, cozy spot with area for bowling and eating. Family friendly atmosphere with option for bumpers or ramps to assist little ones. One staff on the premises during party to answer questions and serve food and solve any bowling malfunctions, but was hands off overall. I had fun and would consider hosting another event here! Cons: if you want to cater from somewhere else they charge you more. Finding nearby parking can be hard sometimes. Response time can be inconsistent.

We held a milestone celebration here for our construction crew, what a great experience!…read more First off all the staff were friendly, helpful and hospitable. This felt like a classic bowling alley- no gimmicks and no silliness. This place features a bar & grill, two pool tables, a fair amount of bowling lanes, and a small arcade. The dining area seating is plenty and the touchscreen displays at the lanes make setting up your games very easy. This place was clean, professional and didn't feel "corporate" if that makes sense. It definitely took me back to when I was a kid, bowling in a league with my uncles, very nostalgic. Our host gave us a quick rundown and rules which was great for anyone who had never been bowling before. Our party was pretty big (I think 30-40 people) but the staff was great in keeping up with our hungry carpenters. The food was good, I definitely rate it better than all bowling alley food I've ever had- but not quite "sit-down-restaurant" quality. That's OK, we were there to bowl and have fun. Everyone had a fantastic time. I highly recommend for group events, parties, dates or family fun. I leave one star off for parking- there is very limited parking and maybe I missed something but it seemed like the closest option was meter parking or up the block, most of our guys parked a block away in a public lot.

Bowling shoes were disgusting. Completely worn down, ill fitting, and looks like they haven't been…read morecleaned or replaced in decades. Not only that but the staff was rude, and were inconsistently enforcing wearing bowling shoes. Other bowlers had regular shoes on, but our party was told to wear their shoes or leave. When pointed out, staff said we were wrong. The lanes were inconsistently oiled, the balls were all chipped and low quality. Music was so loud, could barely hear my friends and I speak. Weird policy of charging credit cards at $50 increments. So a $5 dollar water is a $50 charge with a $45 dollar refund. Weird and strange policy. Added 1 star because the pins weren't held up by strings. Probably won't be back unless major changes are made.

Not my first time here, but it's my first time leaving a review! This is such a cute and fun place…read morefor group events. I came to celebrate a friend's birthday, and we had a great time. The pizza and burgers were really good, and a friend said the calamari was good too. Kids are welcome before 8 PM, and they even provide a bowling assistance ramp and gutter protectors, which makes it so much easier for the little ones to play and actually score! The service was fast, and the bartenders were very nice and attentive. The vibes are cool, fun, and super chill. Definitely a great spot for a birthday or group get-together! Side note: Bowling and food are on separate bills, so just keep that in mind when splitting the check.

I went with a group of 5 friends on Saturday just before 1pm. I had been looking forward to bowling…read morehere but hadn't read the reviews. It seems like the complaints and positives are pretty consistent and accurate. The bad: The woman working the front reservations desk was notably unfriendly and unwelcoming, with a negative energy right off the bat. She seemed weirdly annoyed at the presence of customers. And this was at the beginning of the day. I can only imagine what it's like at peak evening hours. There's a total of 8 lanes. We were surprised to find there's a strict one hour limit for lanes unless there's no one else waiting. It would have been helpful if they posted this on their website. A countdown started at 30 minutes left and was displayed on the score screen. The really weird part was at about 10 minutes left, our scores disappeared and never came back. We were still able to play but it was not cool that our whole game's scores were just gone. The time limit made us feel very rushed, which was especially awkward because we ordered food and drinks. The good: As many have said, the best thing about Highland Park Bowl is the beautiful vintage interior design and cool history. There's a lot of impressive detailing and it's fun just walking into the space. We thought the food and drinks were pretty good. We got Pesto Genovese and Contadina pizzas, Calamari, and some cocktails. Though I'm glad to have checked it out, unfortunately with the customer service issues, I was left with a negative feeling and would hesitate to come back.

Bowlero is a pretty dated bowling alley but you can tell they tried to modernize it a bit. We were…read morethere for a holiday party and overall had a great time. The food was better then I expected. The pizzas were a thumbs down but the wings, salad and mozerella sticks were all quite good. The server who was our main contact was good. The manager on duty was very nice and helped me get a heavier ball from the back for my other half. My one complaint would be the gal behind the bar could have been friendlier. There was plenty of parking in their lot. They are located behind Islands and across the street from Panda Inn.

It was a busy night apparently, but the lane next to us was empty for the duration of the time we were there. Interesting, but whatever. My cousin, who competes in local competitions, said the lanes are kind of whack as the pins go down a bit too easily and reward the crappier players. Not sure what he meant by that, but I did bowl better than my usual average of 65. Prices are decent and we took advantage of the 3-game special where the third game is half-off. Balls are in pretty decent shape and they have small to X large for everyone. Pro tip: there's a pretty good bar in here, sort of a hidden spot for locals here. If the usual popular sports bars are too crowded when a big game is on, I usually just come here. Lots of beer on tap, the screens are pretty large, and their burgers and fries are pretty good. Their cocktails are pretty solid as well. Happy rolling!

My first time at Action Lanes within Midway Plaza in El Monte was through a Yelp event. Glad I was…read moregiven the opportunity to enjoy bowling. Thanks Yelp! I came back on a separate day to offer my patronage and support. Parking is plentiful. Interior has an old school look and feel to it. Quite nostalgic! Very clean and organized, but not super bright. Most house bowling balls were old, dirty, and chipped. I don't use a house ball since I have my own personal bowling ball. They may want to invest in some new balls... just saying. Their bowling games were $9.50 per game that Saturday night. I ended up not bowling. I would love to return to take advantage of their Early Bird Special at $4.75 per game which is a great deal from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM on the weekend. League rate is $5.00 per game which is a steal, too (please note league must be hosted by Action Lanes to qualify). Bowling shoes are $5.00 per pair which isn't bad, but I have my own shoes so I don't need them. Please check out their other rates and promos online. When I was here, I had a wonderful conversation with Caleb. He was working behind the counter. Super friendly and nice young man. He gave me the scoop on which nights have leagues and when it was best to come here for best deals. Thanks Caleb! I didn't want to leave without supporting them. There's a boba shop inside the bowling alley, but they were closed at the time. I ended up buying one A&W Rootbeer from the vending machine. It wasn't a lot, but it was something. Quite a refreshing drink! I love bowling so I'll definitely be back to bowl. Thanks Action Lanes!

Huge pros and cons…read more Games here are pricey. We're talking about 80 tokens for 20 bucks, where each game is about 8 to 13 tokens, where all the popular ones are on the higher end. They offer a time-play card for cheap, about 10 dollars for 60 minutes, but you can only play about 18 games, and usually the less popular ones. So yes, pricey, but they offer food for cheaper than most places, even than the mall itself. You can get your kid ice cream here for 1 dollar, yes, 1 freaking dollar! That's what sold me. Food is also cheap; we got a large pepperoni pizza, fries, and an unlimited refill drink for 10 bucks. They got alcoholic drinks at a decent price too. And they currently have a collab with anime shows so you can get special drinks and cups, like from the One Piece collectors edition that keeps selling out quick. You can also get specialty food. They also offer bowling and pool so you can spend a whole day here. My son and I spent 2 hours here, and we had a blast. Expensive, yes, but fun nonetheless.

The flip down changing table is by the sinks, with its own partition for privacy. No changing your baby in the accessible stall next to some dude taking a dump. Clean, private, and great to use. I will note that the changing table is currently out of order, but i have used it several times before and it's a very baby and dad-friendly setup.

Had a party here this past weekend and did not have a great experience. The inside of the building…read morewas 86 degrees. They had about 4 portable fans but that did not help or make a difference. All of my guest were super uncomfortable it was embarrassing for me as a host to have everyone come to a party where it is almost 90 degrees inside. To top it off there was about 3 other parties & only ONE party host (employee) to help with all 4 parties. My party started at 4 I had guest who had arrived already & we're all waiting around for the kids game cards. We did not receive our game cards till about 420 bc the party host was super busy helping the other parties, getting anything took forever. Our party ran out of water & I asked for the water jug to be refilled & it took about 20 minutes to have refilled. I felt bad for the party host he was doing the best that he could, super unprofessional on management to not have more staff help with all of the parties they had booked. The employee that was explaining the laser tag rules was super RUDE, he asked do we have any birthdays today my 7 year old raised her hand & said me & the employee rudely goes we know it's your birthday. HOW RUDE! Why even ask that then. I was told this by multiple guests. The restroom disgusting! No soap just hand sanitizer. The laser tag room was even hotter. All of my guest came out dripping sweat that most of them didn't want to do the next round bc of how hot & uncomfortable everyone was. Super disappointing and embarrassing. The whole point of me booking a party was so that my guest would be inside and not hot during this summer heat wave. WOULD NEVER BOOK A PARTY OR COME HERE AGAIN.
