I was very disappointed by the lack of understanding and accommodation shown toward my son, who has…read moreautism. My son only drinks water from a specific cup due to his sensory needs. When we asked for an accommodation, the security guard was rude and told us that if my son wanted water, he could walk all the way to the entrance every time, despite the distance from the bowling area. Hoping to resolve the issue, I spoke with the manager, Luis Gonzalez, but unfortunately he was just as dismissive and uninformed about autism and disabilities. Rather than listening and showing compassion, he was rude and unwilling to understand my son's needs. Businesses that serve families should make an effort to educate their staff about disabilities and neurodiversity. With autism becoming more widely recognized, basic awareness, empathy, and reasonable accommodations should not be too much to ask. This experience left us feeling unwelcome and unsupported. I will also be reaching out to upper management, including Cynthia Torres, to make her aware of this situation and to see whether changes can be made. As an autism mom, it is my responsibility to advocate not only for my son but for other individuals with autism and disabilities as well. No family should have to experience being dismissed or treated without understanding when simply requesting reasonable accommodations. My hope is that this feedback leads to better education, awareness, and compassion from staff so that all guests feel welcomed and respected.

Pretty cool bowling alley/cocktail bar, this place has been around since the late 1920s and the…read moredesign/decor reflect that well. Near the entrance they have a pool table area to the right, just after that there are two separate seating bars. They have about 10 lanes for bowling, children are allowed before 8pm and they're also able to have bumper ramps for kids automatically come up when their turn comes up on the board. The pizza and burgers were pretty good, the bartenders and servers were very attentive. For a bowling alley it may seem small for today's standard since there's just 10 lanes but the bar and seating areas near the lanes are space out well enough that makes this a great spot for groups.

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.

Luxury Bowling Prices... Carnival Bowling Pins…read more $65 per person (including shoes) for a 2-hour Saturday night reservation? For four people, that's $260 to go bowling. At that price, I'm expecting a pretty elevated experience. Unfortunately, the value just isn't there. First surprise: the pins are on strings. Yep... strings. If you're positioning yourself as a luxury bowling experience and charging $60+ per person, traditional bowling pins feel like a pretty reasonable expectation. Cost-cutting and "luxury" generally don't make great teammates. And I could have sworn some of the pins had a bunny in them as they would occasionally hop. The place was also surprisingly empty for a Saturday night. Maybe word has gotten out about the bunny pins. We had already eaten dinner, so the plan was simple: bowling, a couple drinks, and dessert. They had two desserts -- Cinnamon Twists and a cookie with vanilla ice cream. Perfect! We ordered one of each. Five minutes later: Sorry, no Cinnamon Twists. No problem, we'll take two cookies. Ten minutes later: Sorry, we're out of vanilla ice cream too. Ummm Management... do we have a freezer back there? Ice cream is actually VERY talented at surviving in one. So, two drinks and three games later -- with plenty of gutter balls mixed in -- our $260 bowling adventure was complete. The bigger issue wasn't even being out of dessert. Things happen. But when a server has to return twice because items aren't available, that's usually the moment for a small hospitality gesture. Especially at this price point. My unsolicited management checklist: traditional pins, inventory counts before opening, maybe invest in that freezer, and a little hospitality recovery when things miss the mark. I'm sure the location does well with corporate events and spontaneous "let's go bowling!" crowds. But if you're actually planning a bowling night and care about the bowling experience and value? I'd roll somewhere else.

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.

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.

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.

After agreeing on a ball, I drove from the Bay Area down to his shop this past weekend to pick it up. And as always, he took the time to watch me throw the ball to see if there were any problems.

I used 2 before I had to move to the city. When I called recently, they still had my info and told me my passes were NOT expired!?!?! I'm so grateful I held onto the barcode they gave me back then. Anyways, this location is very accessible. Lots of parking available. They have a small joint locker room available if you want to put some stuff away, but most people here just leave their stuff in the lobby or carry it with them. This is not like a Touchstone gym where guys and girls have their own locker and shower, but they have the basic necessities for a climbing gym. This specific location is more for belaying than it is for bouldering. I was hoping to coach some friends through a few easy routes, but there were maybe 3 v0's and 2 v1's. I had to throw my friends right into the deep end with some v2's and v3's. The routes felt a bit short too. They seem to make up for that here by making the starting points very low. There are definitely way more routes for belaying and the routes there go very high. I'd probably get certified just to belay here. It's just a shame that they spent so much effort for belaying, but couldn't make the routes a bit higher for bouldering.
