Interesting place - I was compelled to go because it was a work-holiday with mandatory attendance…read more So, yes, I was paid to play. It's like a Chuckie Cheese for adults -- lots of noise, lights, video games, & junk food. My group had a private room - clean & comfy with regular table seating and a few sofas with a karoke option and a big screen TV. Pizza was basic, but slices were good sized & hot. Lotsa cheese on the cheese pizza. Pitchers of different sodas were provided & pitchers were labeled, so we knew what we were drinking. Our event included a wristband or sticker (I don't remember) that was good for a limited time to use at specific games that our employer chose for us. I wasn't interested so I gave mine to a teen for extra play. I also gave my ice cream sticker (good for a free scoop) to another kid. Many of our employees bowled, so I joined them in the very comfortable booths & watched the FIFA match on the very BIG screen TVs above the pins. My group had a great time bowling & singing karoke! This is a great location for groups of all ages & sizes. I don't know anything about cost, but the unlimited option seems like the best deal. There's a bar with pool tables for adults, in addition to adult-ish games. The main area is located on the 2nd floor of the mall with access by stairs, escalator, or elevator. Bathrooms have at least 30 stalls!! I thought I died & went to potty heaven! Girls rule!! 4 star for the sensory overload, but I had no idea where I was going. Now, you know. I decided to return a star, so it's now a 5 star review because the venue was just so darned clean.

He only got upset, when I corrected him by telling him to say excuse me when he told my daughter to move. Then he said I was being hostile, I asked for his name, but he wouldn't give it because he know he was wrong! I then asked the Mexican female guard next to him, and she too agreed I did nothing wrong, she say I set my stuff down hard, but said I wasn't being rude, agressive, or hostile. He got his supervisor, and I continued to talk to the guard, once the supervisor got there he said he understood, but said I was yelling at his guard, when that was not the case, his female guard even agreed that I wasn't yelling. The bigger white guard I originally spoke with, was looking all confused when I told his supervisor he was going to let it go, until I corrected him from telling my daughter to move, and everyone there told the supervisor the same, but the supervisor doubled down, and wouldn't let me in, even after discovering the truth about his guard getting butthurt! Terrible guards, someone in that position should never go to work with their emotions leading them! What a shame!

The house balls are a bit rough, so look for the smoother ones. Our group orders up a couple of thin crust pizzas that tasted good and hit the spot. Though, I felt like I need to wash my hands between bowls. The service was great in the beginning but once the "League Players" showed it was really busy. So if you have an issue with your lane it might be like pulling teeth to get it fixed. Overall, this is a beautiful bowling facility. Did I mention they have a full service bar? It can be a great place to watch a game or a grab a drink during play. How to be back soon.

After we finished they came out and cleaned up the tables. Overall a good couple of hours. Last words...good fun.

I called and spoke with the manager, Saulo, who was incredibly understanding and worked with us to move our reservation to the following day. When we came back, Saulo and the entire staff were welcoming, hospitable, and accommodating. Our boys have special needs, and since this was their first time bowling, it was definitely a new experience for them. The staff was patient, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable. That meant a lot to us as parents and made what could have been a stressful outing into a really enjoyable family experience. Huge thank you to Saulo and the entire Gilroy Bowl staff for taking such great care of our family. We'll definitely be back. Additionally, the food and drinks were top tier!! 10/10 -- highly recommend!

Lanes felt well waxed without any big grooves or dents which is always a plus. My only complaint would be that the cheese literally falls off the pizza when you take a bite. But other than that, had a great time with the family and will definitely return and recommend this alley to others!

This is an excellent place to go bowling, very old school alley with bright neon lights and music. They have super cheap deals too. If you go between 10:00am to 2:00pm any day of the week, you can bowl up to three hours for only $10! And that's the cost of shoe rentals. For most blowing alleys $10 will get you one shoe, or one game (I'm serious, trust me I did my research) The lanes are ALL in one instead of split up around the building which I like because it feels more intimate. I may find myself here again, I lost track of time and someone told me they also have unlimited bowling listed on their website, so that's cool. Apparently even on Sunday to Thursday from 1:00pm - to closing time, they ONLY charge $25.00 per person for up to 2 hours of bowling. You will NOT find such cheap prices anywhere else.

We had planned on doing just one round on our most recent visit, but it wasn't too crowded and went by pretty quickly, so we ended up playing the other side too. I'm partial to the course that's closer to Blossom Hill road because it's a little more difficult with the water trap holes, but both sides are fun!
