Don't know what other people are expecting out of a bowling alley, lol? This is a full service bowling alley, with real pins not the ones on strings. You REALLY can't take that for granted these days, they don't make pin machines anymore. They have a full arcade for kids, like so many lanes, there is modern and honestly the most advanced bowling software I have ever seen, that you take pictures and it renders short clips of you beating up your friends when you bowl a strike, pretty entertaining actually. Not too full, I feel like you could pull up anytime and get a lane and the atmosphere was very bowly, good crowd and stuff. Bowling lanes felt very nicely maintained and oil lines straight, was able to bowl many strikes and we are really bad! Pretty affordable, I think we paid like $17 a person for 2 games including shoes. They have this cool cosmic bowling night where you have unlimited bowling for like 3-4 hours for like a really affordable price if you're a bowling fanatic. read more

Lava Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Medford, Oregon

Bowling was decently priced. Believe it was $45 for 2 people for 3 games. Lames were clean. Good selection of bowling ball sizes and weights to choose from. Full bar for those inclined. All the food coming out from the counter smelled good, nice and fried bowling alley typical foods I'm guessing. Arcade, most of the games worked but no one was in there. read more

We walked through the place to check out the bowling for a future visit and stopped at the arcade. I will say, the bowling alley which has a lot of lanes was actually surprisingly quite busy with majority of lanes being occupied. The arcade wasn't huge which I wasn't surprised by since it's a bowling alley. But a lot of the games were out of order or just kind of neglected and in disrepair. There was a coin game where you're supposed to roll coins into lit up slots but you couldn't because there were soooo many coins fallen over blocking the slots lol like probably years and years of coin buildup. The "down the clown" game where you throw balls at the clown heads - there weren't enough red balls and there was a ball stuck wedged in the back and when we did ask someone to retrieve it - still it was very short on balls making it absolutely impossible to reach the bonus of 500 points (which is something we can always do). Also, the speaker volume on the games for some reason is set unusually high which I personally didn't like. It was very loud. read more

DO NOT GO TO LAVA LANES! Really disappointing experience with the bar service at Lava Lanes. We were there for a family night of bowling with our children. The adults in our group had only had about two drinks each, and nobody was being loud, rowdy, disruptive, or causing any problems. Despite that, the bartender was extremely rude to us and even cut off our entire party. What bothered us most was that a beer we had already purchased was actually taken off our table out in the bowling area out of spite by one of the bartenders. We were given no reasonable explanation for why our entire group was being treated this way. At that point we decided we didn't want to stay, and walked to the front desk to cancel our second game of bowling. When we calmly complained to other staff in the bowling area about how the situation had been handled, security began hovering around us, which made the whole experience even more uncomfortable. We weren't causing a scene or looking for a confrontation, simply asking for a refund for our second game that we hadn't started yet. I completely understand that bartenders have a responsibility to stop serving someone who appears intoxicated or is causing problems. That wasn't our issue. Our issue was how unnecessarily rude and confrontational the situation became when we were simply trying to enjoy a night of bowling with our kids. We came in expecting a fun family night and ended up leaving early because of how we were treated. Unfortunately, after this experience, we won't be returning. The staff in the bowling area was completely professional and refunded us for our 2 game. read more

When you come to bowling you expect a few things, cheap fun, pitchers of beer, and good times with your friends. This place is like walking into the prison version of bowling. The security guards who look like wanna be call of duty mall cops will yell at you for brining your drink into the bowling area, they pace around watching you, and pitchers of beer are not allowed. Not to mention a the bowling score was off and ordering drinks took a long time As the bartender was doing her best with 15 different requests You can get a $20 pre frozen personal pizza and get the boot at 10pm if there's a party even if you paid for an hour at 9:15. read more

Last Bowling center in Medford They need to clean much better! Everything is Tacky. read more

I had a nice afternoon during this June heatwave. The clerks were cheerful and helpful. Our bowling game was fun. We went to the bar for lunch. They have a large selection of tasty non alcoholic beers. We both got club sandwiches which were large and fresh. Fries and onion rings were crisp and tasty. We had a good server who was helpful and cheerful and didn't hover. But checked in frequently. Good service, good food. read more

I went to watch the Super Bowl at LL, and it was a horrible experience. Rude patrons, horrible service and food. And the place was filthy. Never going back. U sure miss Roxy Ann Lanes, a place that had actual class. read more

I never would have guessed that I could take my kiddo to a bowling alley and have some of the most bomb tacos I've had in a while. In fact, all the food was great! I was genuinely impressed. Arcade has a lot of great games for the kids and the service is great from the staff. Good job, Lava Lanes. Keep it up. read more

Lava Lanes - Grilled Chicken Fresca Tacos, Chicken Strips with fries. - Bowling Near Me - Medford, Oregon

Customer service FAILED miserably! Went there with the family to play some arcade games and it was fun. However.... My SIL won a major prize (an Xbox) on the STACKER game and they still haven't given it to him! They tried to claim a malfunction even though we were all standing there watching him win and have it on video. They've been giving him the run around for 2 1/2 months! Wow! Be wary of playing those big prize games...they probably won't pay up. read more

The sampler platter was gross, full of grease!! And only one waitress for the whole restaurant.

21+. Bowling is great. Food is great. Bar is less than satisfactory. Bartender will ignore you and then serve customers that showed up after you. read more

I went on a Thursday evening with my 3 kids. I was told no lanes were available with no explanation. Server just walked away to help someone else. We tried the arcade instead. $20 lasted about 5 minutes with their card system. They had a little ice cream place like a Baskin Robbins. Paid $3.50 each for a single scoop and it was the smallest scoop I've ever seen served to anyone. I would NOT recommend Lava Lanes to anyone. read more

Came for the four games with the "summer staycation" pass. Got one game. Employee said each person counts as one game. Feels like false advertising. Lame. Other than that, lanes were clean, the area was clean, seems like a nice place but take my one star review out of pure frustration, assuming we would be able to come in and have several games rather than just one. read more

I had a party for my daughter. They called me 4 hours before we were scheduled for the room and bowling we scheduled and said we had to switch times (I made the reservations a week in advance). I told them we couldn't since we already had it planned and had other children coming. They would not refund us or help at all. We showed up anyway and had bought a package with food and a reserved room. They brought the food 40 minutes late and it was the wrong food. They did not apologize or accommodate us in any way and refused to discount anything. Then we went to bowl. We had reserve 2 lanes and they gave us 1 lane for 7 children. We made of the birthday what we could but they did not help or apologize in any way for their mistake. Completely unprofessional. I would not recommend anyone doing any sort of event at this location. read more

i fucking love it here so fucking fun omg come here for a good time!! Great food great people the staff are insanely friendly. Super clean place all around the music is also a huge plus it's like a party all the time. Can't get any better if you're looking for bowling, food, and possibly making some new friends!! read more

Cosmic is so fun! Highly recommend worth the money!! Unlimited bowling from 10-1 am super good drinks come get fd up!!

My daughter loves to come here. It is affordable indoor fun. Sometimes it can be a bit chaotic inside when it is busy. But that isn't really in anyone's control. The food is good and the arcade is fun too. Good passtime activity for the family. read more

I have been coming here for 20 years and I am so disappointed. On the weekends it is horrible. The employees do not monitor the fact that signs are not read and drinks are down at the lanes. Patrons spilled on the carpet and employees were notified yet spills were not cleaned up making it unsafe for bowlers on the lanes if they stepped in it. read more

We asked as we came in if we would have time for two games, counter girl said yes. We paid! There were problems with the lane and they needed to fix it in the middle of our game. Then she came to us at 950 and informed us that they were closing soon and we would not finish our game. We hustled and at 10 sharp on our 10 frame she shut our lane down. Customer service sucked! They do not care about the customer one bit!!! I would recommend going anywhere else. read more

Loved the new bowling place in town.:) Walking in I was awestruck by all the colors and music. Went here with my boo, the workers there were so nice and attentive. Didn't get to try the food there; but I'm sure it's good. Was shocked how inexpensive this place is.:) Will be coming back for sure. Give it a try!! read more

We go here ALL THE TIME. Walked in today with a half-full iced coffee from Dutch Bros and this "woman" at the register told me that I cannot bring that in and that I "need to go to my car to drink it or throw it out!" Wow. That is just wrong. Way to treat your return customers who KEEP YOU IN BUSINESS. read more

Raina is so incredible! She makes the bowling environment more fun & is always extremely positive!!

WHERE TF IS MY FOOD. I ORDERED 8 CHICKEN WINGS AND THEY STILL HAVENT COME. I've played an entire game of bowling and they're still not here. They better be the best wings of my life or i'm crashing out read more

You can't go wrong with bowling, arcade games and beer. Had a great time. It was really busy and most of the bowling balls were on the floor. read more

Service has tanked. They need to hire servers and bar tenders. Very sad. I hope they fix this. I don't think I'll be back.

We are here now with deaf friends to watch the Rose bowl game. The manager only set 2 tv to close captions and wouldn't do one more despite having 22-23 TVs. I asked one more for one side of deaf on table.. the manager says it will bother other patrons. Wtf. Right there he just violated our rights under ADA..in case you don't know. American Disability Act.. food and servers are nice. Except this guy...I was able to catch his name..Elijah.. Megan the server is great! read more

The staff was very nice. The food was horrible. Not sure how you can make a mushroom Swiss burger a salad with blue cheese and an iced tea so bad, but they are very capable. Gross read more

We walked in because we were trying to kill some time before our flight left at 9 PM. We figured we just bought a couple games have a couple drinks and then go to the airport. Well it turns out not only do they have bowling, they have a full restaurant, full bar, pool tables, and slot machines. A bunch of TVs and a bunch of tables in the bar area. Good music , everything we love to do when back in Phoenix ...IN 1 PLACE!!! read more

We came to the bowling because my daughter's boyfriend wanted to bowl. It's $1 per game and there are alot of open lanes! We ordered some food and its pretty good!

I go to Medford every year with my husband to visit Family and Friends. We always take time out to go to Lava Lanes to bet on the horse racing. We enjoy that, never miss going each year, never have any complaints. Unfortunately I can't say that this time around. Went there this time around and was treated very bad, we are Afro American, sat down at the table the waitress with the black hair in a ponytail never came to our table not once to wait on us. At that time it was a white older couple and us. She went to there table waited on them still didn't come. Soon more people came all white she waited on every table this is after a hour of being there. I eventually went and got our own drinks and enjoyed betting on the horses. I refused to let that ruin my vacation. When my son and daughter in law came to join us, she still didn't wait on us. My son complained to the manager and the manager started waiting on us. Very disappointed in that waitress, once you show me who you are, I'm good. I don't want you getting me anything. The only person she hurting with that evil is herself. read more

The bowling was awesome and there was no problem with the lanes. The food was ok but the bathrooms were nasty. This is a fun place to go if your wanting a night out! read more

I bowled bad but I guess it wasn't their fault. I haven't found the bowling alley that will put me on the track to my destiny of being on the PBA tour. For real though, My girlfriend and I had fun on the lanes, with a few drinks. We were going to have drinks at the bar but it was a little stanky. Other than that no complaints. read more

Entrance from the arcade has a very horrible smell and it's very dirty. There's trash all over the place

Went bowling with some friends. Started out great ! Until it was time for cosmic bowling. Mind you we had been there for two hours already back and forth a couple times in and out of the bar. Since we had a friend who was under 21. No biggie. The staff put us at lane 1 knowing we had an under 21 person with us. (Because we did call before hand to make sure it was ok we all sit together) "perfectly fine"!! Then when the waitress comes around asking if we wanted more drinks and seeing if we all had our wristbands on which we did for the ones drinking... the other just had a soda. She then says "well you cant sit here" " she has to move" we were all VERY confused as they are the ones who sat us here! Knowing damn well we had a 20 year old with us! So we move and try and compromise to sit on the other side of the "non alcohol" side. But they literally refused! Such an odd thing, why even have the divider?? They wouldn't let us sit on either side all of a sudden. But at least they gave us a refund after asking for 20 mins. We left after that! Very strange behavior for a bowling alley. Maybe next time they will listen. Or just get staff who know what they are doing... read more
