The place is otherwise filled with billiards tables. The hosts are nice, but the place smells surprisingly strong of smoke though it wasn't filled with it. Don't get me wrong, I've been to pool halls before and I've smelled smoke, but this place was a little over powering. It wasn't dimly lit either (which I kind of like) and the pool tables are a little old. Though if you like billiards you'd like this place because it has nice new looking tables. Give it 2 1/2 stars

Warning that they have no AC so it can get warm especially when you're into your game. Dim lighting and pop music in the background.

You bring back the balls once you're done and ready to pay. They have restrooms inside, not sure how clean they are. Overall a good spot to play pool at a decent price.

Our table was perfect and the area around it super clean. The people there are nice and it is not super loud. You can pay by the hour or get a membership. We paid for an hour and I think it was about 20$ which I thought was fair. The place is large enough for everyone to get a table, but not huge. It is comfortable. They have drinks at the front desk. You are not allowed to bring in food or liquid. We love their Chinese pool table. You will like this place.

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!

They have different set prices all days of the week so be sure to cadvantage of those if you're an avid bowler or want to come here with a group. The food here is actually decent. My husband and I ordered the popcorn chicken to share. As you can see from the photos, the attention to detail was there. From the golden brown color and seasoning on every piece. This was a perfect snack after an hour of bowling. I would order this again! Parking is shared with the other businesses in the plaza. It is large so you won't have to worry about not finding a spot. The business wasn't as busy when we came here during the week. There were a few lanes still open when we arrived. Overall, I recommend this spot. Whether you're a novice or a professional bowler, it's a great place to hang! If it weren't for the Yelp Elite Event held here, I wouldn't have thought to come back. Thanks, Action Lanes! See you again soon!

It was here where I introduced bowling to my mom and we come back every year to bowl as a family. When we arrived, it was only a 10 min wait and staff were really nice to squeeze us in since it was pretty a packed house at 10 am! Things were nicely renovated and the AC was a comfortable cool to escape the heat. Snack bar was open but we didn't get anything. I do miss the foozeball table, air hockey, and the few arcade games that lined the hallway at the prior establishment. Despite the gutterballs, we all had a great time and thank you for keeping this place alive and going. We'll certainly be back again!

TLDR: Improved technology, more modern look, still affordable…read more I had been meaning to check out this newly reopened bowling alley for a while now, so I'm glad I finally got to go! I'm not sure if it's being run by the same owner or if someone else took over, but the building looks much more modern now. It's a little bittersweet to see all the nostalgic pieces of my childhood gone, but it's hard to deny that it's for the best. Prices were still pretty affordable. The staff member let us know that there's a cheaper deal on weekdays, which is pretty normal for bowling alleys. There is clearly a lot more seating on the top floor. The addition of all the tables is really nice. I also noticed that they removed the extra TVs that used to either play ads or sports and stuff. They also got rid of all the pool tables that I never saw anyone use. The screens and control panels are all updated to this modern design too. Something else that was interesting was how the old bowling ball racks were moved to the side of the building to make room for bag hooks behind the people bowling. Although it's a good idea, it's kind of hard to watch your belongings when they're behind you like that, so it leaves your stuff kind of open for stealing. It's also easier to grab the bowling ball you need though because they're all in one place instead of spread across the whole building. The only thing that I kind of hate is the seating down by the alley. There's actually less seating down there with these standalone dining table sets replacing the old benches. Since our party arrived when there were many other people there, we only had one side of the lane while strangers were on the other side. It's just a little awkward to sit at a dining table with strangers like that. Not to mention, the seating arrangement left a lot of people standing and kind of made it hard to communicate with each other. In terms of bowling mechanics, I think the amount of time it takes for the bowling ball to return has been reduced significantly. I'm so glad we don't have to wait ages for the ball to return for the second throw! The machine also didn't seem to experience incorrect racking, which used to happen all the time here. Sadly, the screen does not tell you the mph your throw was at anymore. I always thought that was a very helpful feature, so it's a shame to see it go. Lastly, the floors seemed well cleaned and waxed. I didn't have to powder my shoes and felt like my bowling ball glided pretty smoothly down the alleyway. Overall, I think this bowling alley is nice. I'm glad to have an alley that's close to my house again!

We bring our own cue sticks because the house cues are subpar, to say the least. The table rate used to be $10 about a year ago. Then it went up to $12, and now it's around $13 or $14 an hour. It may not seem like much, but it adds up when everything keeps getting more expensive while our income stays the same. Even so, we still enjoy coming here every now and then. One thing we really appreciate is that the pool tables are in excellent condition. That's a big plus for us, and it's one of the reasons we keep coming back.
