    My group

    We really enjoyed our experience at Lucky Strike Alameda! We were a group of 7, and from the moment we walked in, Lilly made us feel so welcomed. She has such a charming and positive aura, and I honestly can't praise her enough. She even complimented my group and me, which definitely boosted our confidence The food was really good, and if you're coming with a bigger group, I definitely recommend getting the Dunk Tanks. Overall, we had such a fun experience and would definitely come back!

    Time to bowl!

    What a great time we had! We all look forward to going back soon. What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours! Look for their groupon &/or their weekend special pricing! We all highly recommend it!

    Came here on a Friday night for a family night out! It was a bit late but plenty of time to play, eat, and bowl. My bf, his daughter, and I were all super excited to come and have some fun! It's our first time here so we didn't know what to expect really. We decided to only play 1 round since it takes a while to just finish 1. I love the food truck they have it's really cool and fun to see. Their food was pretty good and filled me up pretty quickly. While we ate while we played a round of bowling and afterwards we went to play at the arcade. We took pictures at the photo booth like we always do! It's kind of our thing to always take a picture at the Photo Booth just to look back at the past and remember the good old times. As we grow older and cherish our lil moments together as a lil family of ours. Definitely will be coming back to come and bowl!

    Came here on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised. The facility is clean and the staffs were attentive and helpful. The arcade is well sized with lots of options although I do wish there were more picks for little kids. My toddler needed my assistance to pick him up and participate in most of them so I would say the arcade is definitely more for taller kids beyond age 5-6 years old. The bowling pricing is also very reasonable with lots of deals to choose from. We were able to capitalize on the unlimited bowling and shoe rental for $18.99 per person from 11am to close! This is our first visit so I wasn't sure what to expect but our family had an amazing time. Will definitely be returning!

    My daughter's birthday fell on a Wednesday so we came here for the half off arcade deal and it was just perfect. They also had a deal on pizzas and pitchers so everything was a win-win! Kids had a blast and so did the adults.

    They did well on the presentation. Everyone had a great time.

    We celebrated a 15th birthday here recently. Initially, I tried to call and email them. I had a few questions that I needed answered which the website couldn't provide. That resulted with no response so I was a bit hesitant. In the end, we were pressed for time so I booked online. Booking for a party of 12 and choosing the food was pretty straightforward. A week later and it's time for the birthday party. Again, I never got a response back from them other than the usual email confirmation of my event time and type. We arrive 15mins before our event and check in. They introduce us to Imane (forgive me if I misspelled it) as our coordinator. She was so nice and so friendly that I totally forgot about the skeptism that I had. She explained to us what to expect as far as bowling time, food and beverages and the arcade. She also introduced us to Efrem (again, I apologize if I misspelled it), one of the managers. We had a great conversation with him about everything. He made sure that we have everything we needed. As for the presentation.. it was more than what I expected. Chicken tenders, pizza, fries and funnel cake fries were pretty standard fare.. and 4 choices of beverages too! But they were presented so well and kept warm in chafing dishes. They had our boy's name in lights and had a full size bowling pin (to be signed) as a present for him! Great touch. Imane checked on us regularly to make sure we're not running out of anything.. and we didn't. The only thing we added were chicken wings and they were excellent as well. Overall we had an excellent experience. My initial skeptism was replaced with satisfaction. I think that we had a good value for what we paid. We all had a great time bowling and the kids enjoyed the arcade. It was a successful 15th Birthday party with much thanks to Imane, Efrem, and all the staff who made it happen.

    It's so clean in here!

    We visited Lucky Strike in Alameda during Thanksgiving break on a weekday with seven children, and our experience was honestly exceptional from start to finish. Taking a large group of kids anywhere can be stressful, but the staff here made everything incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Everyone we interacted with was patient, friendly, and willing to help, which made a huge difference for us. I want to give a special shout-out to the manager, Rashad, who went above and beyond. He was extremely approachable and took the time to walk us through all the weekly deals, different play options, and even gave honest recommendations about how long we should book the lanes for. He also suggested trying out the arcade games, which turned out to be a great call -- the kids were obsessed and had the funnest time playing and celebrating the start of their holiday break with all their cousins. Another thing that really stood out to us was how clean and well-maintained the entire facility was. I've been to many bowling alleys over the years, and this one is hands down the biggest, most spacious, and cleanest I've ever been to. The atmosphere felt lively but still organized, and everything from the lanes to the seating area to the arcade section looked cared for. Overall, we had an amazing experience and left with happy, tired kids -- which is every adult's goal! We will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend Lucky Strike Alameda to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly outing.

    See all

It can get busy at the tables and you might have to wait for one to be free. I also don't remember how much it was per game (sorry!) This time when visiting back home in Alameda we decided to play mini golf! The pricing is as follows (as of August 2026): - $16 - Adults (age 18-64) - $13 - Youth (age 0-17) (Age 0-4 is free when playing with a paid adult) - $13 - Seniors (age 65+) You pay at the front and then there's a ball machine near the entrance where you pull the handle of the color ball you want and it comes down the cool metal wire runway. The lady at the front wasn't super helpful and we kinda wandered around looking for where to get the balls, but once we asked she pointed out where we could get them. There are a standard 19 holes on this course and each one is a cool little tidbit about the Bay Area! It was cool seeing local landmarks and the different challenges for each hole. I was terrible was had a fantastic time playing. My boyfriend on the very last hole, got a hole-in-one which triggers an alarm and you get a free round a mini golf voucher that expires 3 months afterwards! Our very first date was playing mini golf so if we are ever visiting again I'd love to make it a tradition! ---- Overall: a great place for mini golf, super cute local landmarks at each hole, challenging, creative, and very fun!

They probably get people trying to take advantage of them bringing larger groups than expected or whatever. It was golf then lunch then arcade and they were a little flexible with the end time for cake so that we could get maximum arcade! The Chicken fingers and fries were great. They could up their game with the pizza a bit, but haha, the kids seemed happy, and everything in the world doesn't need to be gourmet. Good beers on tap for the parents. Felt a little gross drinking them out of a plastic soda cup, but I digress... Price was good for the value we got! It wasn't cheap, but still pretty reasonable when you factor in the unlimited arcade. One of the staff was super excited to about one of my kid's gift--the Remote Control Skibidi Toilet! Thanks y'all for a fun and low stress party.

After dining in Alameda one day, I randomly stumbled upon it while taking a walk and decided to stop in. The entrance is small, but the gentleman behind the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful. He gave us a quick explanation of the pricing, in-and-out privileges, and where the different games were located. He was brief but enthusiastic, informative, and welcoming. We paid for admission and ended up staying for about an hour--and it was so much fun! The games are definitely addictive, and there's a great mix of people of all ages, from children to adults. The space is a little narrow and can get crowded, but that also adds to the lively atmosphere. There's one restroom available, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean, tidy, and fully stocked it was. Overall, this is such a lovely hidden gem in Alameda. Admission is reasonably priced, and with the in-and-out privileges, you can easily make the most of your visit. It's a fun place for all ages, and I would definitely recommend checking it out. I'll absolutely be back in the future! *****FIVE STARS*****

Pizza was good. Can't really tell what kind of crust you would call it - crispy on the outside and pillowy in the insides. It has more ingredients than normal pizza places. Best part, ice cream cones - real ice cream or sherbets - are only 99 cents each per scoop. Definitely a bargain. Bowling was fun. You either rent or bring your own shoes. You pay by the game or by the hour. They have bumpers for children and seniors so you can never miss points. Arcade is per game. You purchase a game card and the card can be used with mulitple persons. You just stripe the card for as many machines you want so you can compete. The complex is huge of Japanese entertainment.

This time around i used my saved up tickets to get a small plush just so i can leave with a prize. Back then, you see everyone holding plushies and walking around. Now, maybe a few lucky winners? They filled a lot of the space with the mini claw machines. Do not play these!! You will not win! The claw strength for most of the machines are zero to none now and they have bumped up the prices for all of the claw machine games. They even force you to pay more for less credits now. Now it's either $120 or $140 ($110 before) and the credits definitely don't last as long anymore. Bad economy i guess. Don't come here if you actually want the prizes After using up 450 credits, i gave up and tried playing one of the marble games, the machine malfunctioned and refused to pay out the tickets. Asked someone to come look, a angry mechanic lady came by and walked around the machine, took a glance and left. I thought they needed to get help or something so i'm just sitting here and waiting for 30 minutes for them to come and try to fix it. Spoiler: they didn't come back to fix it nor come back to give an explanation to us. When i checked back at the reception, they said they sent someone to look at the machine but no one was at the machine(?) I AM LITERALLY SITTING IN FRONT OF THE MACHINE ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Then they sent the same angry mechanic to come back, who gave me a mean glare, opened and tinkered with the machine, couldn't fix anything, and proceeded to walk away without saying a word. Another 15 minutes went by, so i went back to the counter to just ask for my credits back since i don't want to wait anymore. They said they are fixing it and i will get the tickets once they finish fixing the machine. I'm like they aren't even there. But they said they can't give me back my credits -.- Ended up taking an L and just killing off the rest of the card and leaving. It's like they can't afford to let you win It's such a scam Imma just wait until I go back to Japan where it's like a dollar each play and there's actually a chance to win things. Good bye Hayward Round one.

During our visit, my 6-year-old son's arm got stuck inside the bowling ball return machine. When people rushed to the counter to alert the staff that a little boy was trapped, the employee's immediate response was completely unacceptable. Instead of rushing over or immediately hitting an emergency shut-off switch, they simply got on the loudspeaker and announced, "Don't put your hands in the machine." They completely failed to manage the situation or even figure out how to turn the machine off. Once we finally managed to get my son's arm out ourselves, the total lack of urgency continued. An employee grabbed a ziplock bag and walked--not ran--sluggishly to get ice. He then realized he forgot the key to the ice machine, turned around, and walked slowly back to get it. Watching this casual pace while my child was hurt and screaming was infuriating. I ultimately couldn't wait any longer, ran to him, grabbed the ice myself, and rushed back. Zero basic human urgency from the staff. Furthermore, these ball return machines absolutely should have weight or pressure sensors that automatically stop the internal belt when an object or a child's limb becomes trapped. The fact that the machine kept running is a massive liability. The staff here clearly has zero training on how to handle an emergency, shut down equipment, or administer basic first aid with any sense of urgency. Parents, please keep a very close eye on your kids here, because the staff will not know what to do if something goes wrong. We are only lucky that his arm is completely fine because of the quick-thinking customers who rushed to help us. To the amazing people who jumped into action to help save my son: thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
