I came here to my friend's birthday party on Saturday. I am legitimately surprised that there are so many birthday parties hosted there that day. There were at least 5 parties there. This bowling has been here for a very long time. The bowling balls looked a bit dated and worn. The lanes and enjoyment of bowling there is the same. Their food platters are surprisingly good as well. Those fried chicken wings remind me of the feng Sha chicken wings from wufung before that place closed down. With so many kids parties there, I might considered hosting my son's party there next time, read more

Revs Bowling & Entertainment Centre - Bowling Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

My colleagues and I went to Revs for a couple of rounds of bowling and we had a fun time. The bowling alley is located conveniently close to Brentwood and had plenty of parking available. The overall experience is similar to most other bowling alleys I've been to throughout my life, without anything particularly different. read more

Revs Bowling & Entertainment Centre - Bowling alley - Bowling Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

It's a pretty decent bowling zone for people of all ages. They are mostly booked and it's recommended to reserve 5 days at least in advance. The food is also pretty good and reasonably priced for the snacks. The staff are helpful and kind. The only thing i was disappointed with are the 30 year old computers that keep a track of the score. They ae terribly slow and often screw up the scoring and need to be reset every few throws. I think they can use an upgrade here. read more

Glad to see it's still open. The pizza is actually very good. We were shocked. The platter was great too..something for everyone. Great bowling, drinking and food. Highly recommend. read more

I went during off-peak hours, and it was $6 a game, which was an honestly fantastic value. However, the venue and the equipment are very outdated. The scoring and pinsetter glitched several times in one and a half hours of playtime. Fortunately, the staff was friendly enough to keep resetting it for us. They probably knew their machines were unreliable. There aren't many bowling balls, and they are also very worn and scratched. You know these balls have seen the rise and falls of civilizations. Overall, it can be a great afternoon given the low price. read more

They have darts, mini arcade and pool tables. The mini arcade wasn't working. We came to throw darts and brought our own (they don't have darts anymore), but you need loonies for the dart board and there's nowhere to exchange money. The entire Bowling Centre is apparently cashless. You also can't take food/drinks to that area. We decided to bowl for an hour. The first 40 minutes was fine, then our lane started acting up, which was super annoying. We would knock down a few pins the first round, then the machine would give us full pins for the 2nd round. I recommend getting a poutine, it's huge! I liked the thick gravy and big chunks of cheese curds. I also like that they gave us a ton of forks & napkins. You definitely don't want to be eating with your hands after touching those bowling balls. read more

The place was good. Staff was nice but the score counting software kept glitching. We had to call the staff several times but it was a manual reset every time. Not ideal read more

Tried this place recently and the place seemed way out of date and more on the dirty side than anything. The washrooms were a mess with paper towel all over the floor, and toilets that hadn't been flushed which was pretty gross. The staff obviously don't check them to make sure they are acceptable. It was fun to bowl again but we'll be looking for a place that has staff that keep the place clean. Also, when you pay they give you a piece of paper for your vehicle so it doesn't get ticketed. You have to head back out to the parking lot to put it on the dash, what's with that? They should work out a better arrangement with whoever patrols the parking lot like maybe installing a machine that gives you free time to park if you go into the bowling alley. read more

Customer service: 4 Stars I had booked 2 lanes for friends/family package in weekend. But unfortunately not many people gathered and needed to cancel one lane and change the plan to $2/game + $4/shoes rental. At end, we could save some money and more enough time to play. We thank for their understanding and flexibility. Facility: 3 Stars We played at day time. No black light. That's fine. It was not so busy but our lane computer stopped very often and needed to reset every time. In the middle of game, we had to move the lane two spot next too. It's strange and of course the score was not accurate. read more

Revs Bowling & Entertainment Centre - Happy hour? Love this deal - Bowling Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

This is hands down my favourite place to bowl. It's in a convenient location right by Holdom skytrain station, and has plentiful free parking! Some nights (mostly week nights) there are special rates, and late-night cosmic bowling. They also have darts, a mini arcade and pool tables. What's not to love about reliving your childhood, knocking down some pins, having some pizza and beer and hanging out with friends? I don't think the place has changed much since I was a kid, but who goes to a bowling alley and expects fancy decor, class and amazing service? It's all about greasy fingers, communal used shoes, and having an amazing time throwing stones down the lane and the ever so satisfying sound of pins falling read more

One indoor game that i love of all times is -bowling ,10 pins, duckpin.. ( synonyms) There are times when i dont bowl at all (wen i have grown my nails big) n then at times , quite frequently (during times wen poor nails are chopped short) Most bowling places are open till late nite and revs bowling is one and only that is not only open late but happening until its closed. I love the energy in this alley. Huge hall of 20 lanes, corner occupied with two bog pool tables who light under the lights looks like a huge field. Powerpoint of slides play latest English songs at high volume which creates a current in air. I realize that people who are little intoxicated must be having better games then us who were struggling to beat each other .(differnce in reality and dream. ) A single game is $20.00 which is not what i pay at other bowling lanes. Oh wo.. it is too much just to bowl for maximum half an hour. Like another places , there was pizza to be purchased n drinkd to buy. Other thing outstanding was the birthday song played on the big screens for 30 seconds to make a birthday girl speacial who was there to celebrate her birthday . Nice place but over my budget read more

I wanted to like this place. They are so close to success but fell flat at the end of the day. 1) front desk staff struggle with basic questions. 2) pro shop isn't open ever. 3) the screens on the lanes are so old they are barely legible when setting up the bowler names. 4) food area looks like a black hole, no lighting, wouldn't even know it's there. 5) they aren't serving alcohol?! 6) the lanes are in rough shape. With the black lights on you could see how dry and warped they are. 7) a zillion toy/candy/vending/games machines that take change. No ATM. NO CHANGE at front desk. NO CHANGE MACHINE! It's like the owner is trying to not make money. Sad, this place used to be so much fun. Looks like the owner is just waiting to sell the land. read more

Looks like there have been a few changes since the last time I was here. They've finally made the main parking lot free. You do need to grab a pass off the front counter though. On Mondays, highballs are only $2.25(!?). Not sure if it's legal, but I think I just found my go-to watering hole. Can you even mix your own highballs at home for this cheap? Oh yeah, there's bowling here too. Almost forgot. The interesting thing about the bowling system here (maybe it's a common feature but none of us had seen this anywhere) is that you can actually split the same game between 2 lanes. You enter the names into the same pool, and if there are 8 of you (for example), Player 1 starts in lane A, and Player 5 starts in Lane B. The kicker is that after each player moves to the adjacent lane after finishing each frame. It keeps everyone going at the same pace, and keeps everyone involved. Special mention for this nifty little system. Now if only they'd upgrade from those 1990s-era CRTs.. Lastly, the bowling was quite cheap, at $9 for 4 games, including shoe rentals. Sure beats watching a movie. read more

Been here bowling a few times. It's ok as far as bowling alleys go. It's off lougheed in Burnaby, so a bit away from the hustle and bustle. They have a sizeable parking lot. You do need to go in and get a parking pass though (free), so remember to do this. The alley itself has a good number of lanes. There is also an area for some other games like darts, air hockey, etc. There is a lounge/restaurant area as well. We had the pizza last time, it wasn't great... well, I'd have to say it wasn't even good, but not bad enough to call it bad. It's kind of what you expect from a bowling alley.. the toppings were sparse, and there wasn't much flavour, and the texture was kind of like McCain's pizza. I find that typically Nacho's are done better at bowling alleys so next time I'll try that. Bowling itself was enjoyable. At one point, our pin resetting machine thing broke and someone had to come fix it, but that was pretty much the only snafu. So I'd say it's overall ok. read more

I'm not a serious bowler and don't like the one hour new rates. After 40 mins I had enough. Just not my thing to bowl nonstop for a hour. Most likely the last time going here. One thing I like is lanes are bone dry. Read someone bitch at lanes being bone dry. But I like it this way cause my score is higher and not endless gutter balls. read more

a worker went into the bathroom while my girlfriend was in there and called our party rude and wouldn't let my girlfriend apologize until the point she cried and kept going. this is after she wouldn't let us do 7 people to a lane taking turns which we agreed to and had a person sit out. we certainly were annoyed but we didn't complain to her face or any of the other staffs face. left with my GF in an Uber because of how rude the staff was. will never go again. read more

Great place for late night bowling after dinner. They have darts and a few pool tables as well a few machines for arcades. Bowling balls are a bit old and need some update but for cheap bowling, this is the place to go to They also have a small corner bar area and you can order food specials to your table to bowl. If you want to host your birthday or an event, they have an upstairs lounge area or downstairs where the bar is to rent out. read more

REVS did a good job keeping up with the times and updating the place. They let you text in songs to a phone number free of charge to request songs. The songs are put into a queue and are played along with the video on multiple screens while you're bowling. Not sure when this was set up, but I haven't been here for a long time now. I loved this. My friends and I kept requesting the cheesiest songs and we laughed so hard while having our beers and of course bowling. Drinks and food are reasonable, but I wish there was 1 more bartender during the weekends. The long was quite long and we had to wait a while. He was super cheerful and did a great job though. read more

One of the better bowling alleys to play at, this has plenty of room and a eating area fit for large groups. Drinks and munchies are available to order which is great for re-energizing yourself whilst bowling a tight game against your group of friends. The bowling system is relatively new in comparison to some of the other lanes out there which makes it far more entertaining. read more

First time coming here and horrible experience. We were greeted at the desk with rudeness so they don't seem to care about giving you a comfortable experience. No food. No service of drinks but the coin machines. No wifi Do not come here . read more

I am mainly reviewing the fitness center that is attached to the side of this Bowling place. It is very basic, and def not your typical Steve Nash or Golds Gym in terms of scale or quality. It does the job though if you just need a place to work out. Can be quite empty at times and doesnt get too crowded. Place def shows its age though, as it looks like the equipment has been there for a loooooong while! read more

Honestly, usually I would have the time of my life here. Today when I went at the bar area I asked for 2 inception shots (which by the way were on the menu). He told us flat out no. We asked why, and he said it was too busy... even tho it was on the menu and there was literally only 2 people waiting behind me. He kept saying no and telling us to calm down. Excuse me don't tell us to calm down. Also if there is a shot on the menu and a customer asked for it, GIVE THE CUSTOMER WHAT THEY WANT, otherwise don't put it on the menu. read more

Terrible experience for a serious bowler. The lanes are dented and dry, the pins are old and beat, the house balls are in bad shape, the machinery is constantly malfunctioning... If you have your own ball you're taking a risk using these lanes. The lane I bowled on tonight was BONE DRY. Not a single line on my ball after an entire game. Got a big knick on it from the ball return as well. The owners are clearly not maintaining anything and just waiting to sell the land so it can be torn down to build condos. Let this place die. read more

Can't beat $5 unlimited 2 hour bowling! You can catch this deal (unless they changed it) Monday-Thursday from 3pm-5pm. the price includes shoe rentals too! it's a fun bowling alley! Depending on when you go, they have cosmic bowling (i guess as with most bowling centres). They also have a "bar" area which is OKAY i suppose. Every time i go, i barely see anyone eating in there, but you can order your food and alcohol at your lanes and eat there which is nice. REVS doesn't make you eat behind an area as with some lanes do. The lines at the front CAN get insane and you might be waiting there for a bit, all depends on when you go i guess! They do charge you for parking there, i guess to prevent people from leaving their cars there and flying off on the skytrain. Upside is that it IS conveniently located right by HOLDOM station. read more

In case you don't know Town & Country Bowling has been closed for the last week or so cuz of water damage. I don't know when it's going to be open again. Anyways we ended up going to Revs in Burnaby to bowl instead. It has been many years since I last went to Revs. It's a large and very spacious bowling alley. I would say Revs has almost 50 bowling lanes. We showed up around 8 pm and it was pretty quiet. We ended up playing 2 games $4.00 per game. Not too bad. But they have a deal for week day after 9 pm bowling. $5.00 for the first game and $1.00 per game thereafter. That's a pretty good deal. The clientele is family orientated. Not too many low brow Neanderthals like you get at Town and Country. The only drawback is their low usage of air con! The bowling alley gets pretty piping hot in these summer months. I know the owners are trying to save on the air con bill but I hate sweating like a pig when I'm just bowling! Outside of the air con issue I like Revs Bowling. I'll probably come back! read more

Fun bowling location and good staff. Biggest issue is the nights on weekend. Many times the crowd is looking for trouble so I recommend you avoid evenings on Fridays & Saturdays if you want to do a family outing. Food is quite good for a bowling alley. Recommend the fried chicken platter as it is good and great value. The pizza is also good and the double cheeseburger is artery clogging and good. One of my go tos is Caesar salad with Thai chicken bites (my own creation). Chicken fingers and grilled cheese are good for the kids. If you are looking for a little quiet you can go to upstairs bar which has some TVs and a couple pool tables. There is a gym and some other sports in the building. 5min walk from Holdom sky train and ample parking. Go to front desk for free bowling parking read more

Such a bad experience. We waited over 2.5 hours and watched lanes never be used the entire time. A horrible booking process, no walk on availability, inefficient lane assignment, and a unfriendly staff that lacked empathy. Not sure I'll be back. Why can't we book online? read more

Revs Bowling & Entertainment Centre - Bowling Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

Bowling, like most sporting activities, is a weak spot for me. But boy, am I good at the game called gutter ball! My own version of the game is not intentional, but let's just say at Rev's I won. GB champion. Hazaaa!! As Mark H mentioned, the highlight of this place is the fresh-baked pretzels. These things are baked with all the love of a bowling alley and 1,000 doting Italian grandmothers put together. Delish. The downside to this place: pay parking. Now, if I'm driving out to suburbia I expect that a large, unpopulated lot is free. Not so much here (b/c it's beside the skytrain). SInce I assumed that there would be free parking I strolled past the pay parking signs (completely oblivious) and returned to a shiny ticket on my car. Oh well, you lose some (games) and you lose some (coin). Whatever. I had fun. read more

This place is fantastic...you need to get on the REVS bandwagon people. They have a ton of lanes and cosmic bowling on the weekends, while it's not the cheapest place to get your bowl on, it's worth it. They have a wide selection of foodstuffs, with table service at each of the lanes (just press a button and your server will appear). Don't be fooled by the fact that it's a bowling alley - the food is great, I've had flat bread (with a Peruvian pepper on it), pretzels, chicken fingers etc - it's all been really good. They also have a BBQ joint, and a pizza joint which you can order from. Other key points - a cool video karaoke system with bumpin' tunes, and a friendly staff. Only a couple negatives - you must pay for parking (or hop the skytrain, it's next to holdom station. also - when it's busy, they ran out of the popular shoe sizes - so go early and you won't be disappointed. read more

Yay, my first venture into the world of reviews! I was here today (well yesterday technically, they are open late) with a few friends to get a few drinks and bowl. My experience was quite good. The bartender ..Andy or Adam (I can't remember his name) went above and beyond to make sure our groups high maintenance order came out correctly. The staff member who I.D'd me with the tattoos and blonde hair was a funny high energy guy. He was also helping to run food even though he had a security name tag on ... it seemed quite busy. The nachos have SO much cheese on them, me and my friends kept calling it the mountain of cheese .. "would you like some more chips with your cheese sir?" LOL. They were really good though. Not all nachos are created equal! My two issues would have to be the fact that the women's bathroom was out of toilet paper and a little bit messy. The one girl on shift was REALLY rude and seemed to be really unhappy with either her job or the way her day was going. She had quite the condescending and sarcastic attitude so I tried to avoid asking her for help. We joked about daring each other to ask her for help because she was so rude lol. I was going to tell her about the toilet paper in the bathroom but she was bowling with her guy friend and told me to speak to the boy working at the desk (who was quite attentive to fix our lane the two or three times we had an issue). If she was on break or not on shift she should take off her uniform or at least put a jacket over it if she is just going to hang out with her friend and bowl. Come on now lady! Other than the dirty women's washroom and the girl with the attitude problem, my experience was great overall! I would definitely say that the bar and food side of things are much better than the bowling service based on what I experienced today. Would definitely come back though. I also heard they do corporate parties and have pizza packages?! I am thinking about talking to my colleagues about doing a new years eve party there. Recommended overall! Get your buzz on and bowl up a storm at Rev's! read more

I would come here again just for their pretzels. Bowling is cool and all but these pretzels are salt covered greatness. Baked fresh to order, these are in a pretzel league of their own. Perfectly decorated with an even sprinkling of rock salt, I wouldn't change a thing. Tearing off a piece reveals the warm, moist interior that speaks "don't you dare drown me in any kind of sauce". Eating one of these is the perfect pre-game boost. And at $3.50/ea, you may just get hooked. read more

After more than 5 years of courting my boyfriend finally took me bowling last night - and Rev's was the place thanks to the liquor service at the lanes. I checked their website for hours, and discovered they have a promo going every night - I caught Monday Madness which made our bowling very inexpensive. $9 each got us two games and shoes. I like they don't have the awkward normal lane set up, it much more comfortable with tables (no sitting in a line). My only complaints were all the light bowling balls had small finger holes - and my fake nails kept getting caught and damaged because of that. It was a super busy night and we decided to play another game, unfortunately when I went to pay the staff had just given the lane to someone else (I was standing right behind in line holidng $5)... ah well cie l'vie. It was a good night of fun, at least worth the damage my gels sustained. read more

"Making bowling an experience" ... as the tagline should go! If you're looking for a fun, chill night out with friends or a date, but want to skip the downtown scene, Revs is a solid choice. I bowled there last night, and like all the other times I've gone, the experience was great. Its a huge venue with a helpful staff, a full service bar and pub food, TV monitors (often playing sports highlights) and a decent sound system. Music is played after 9:30pm. Weekends. Revs "nightlife" on weekends gets fun. The crowds tend to be a little rowdier than normal (as expected from a Friday/Saturday night), but it's still open to everyone. They also crank up some beats (usually Top 40) and get some disco lighting goin on to set the weekend mood. TIP: Revs is PACKED on Friday/Saturday nights. Get there by 9:30pm with your full party, or you have to wait it out (anywhere from 30-90mins after 10pm). Its always a good idea to call in to check on the wait. Weeknights. During the week is a great time to hit up Revs. They usually have specials Tues-Thurs, check online. Take a look at the other bowlers as well; you'll see some true bowlers with hand-gear and crazy cool bowling techniques on weekdays :) read more

Fantastic Bowling alley. I take part in Wednesday a m league. We are always looking for new ladies to join our Weds a m league so come and check it out. Presently starts at 11 a m. read more

Went bowling at Rev's today,parked in the parking lot and saw the sign that said Welcome to Revs Bowling Free Parking. So I parked, went into Revs, had a great day of bowling & came out to an $80 ticket on my car. I went into the bowling alley to ask about the ticket.. the gentleman at counter informed me that I should have asked for a parking pass when I came in. I pointed to the sign outside saying welcome to Revs free parking but he gave me no explanation and said that I should have picked up a parking pass from the counter. The guy was extremely rude to me and told me I should have read the tiny sign on the front counter about getting a parking pass. This place needs some better signage about their parking policy. read more

Well your average bowling place... Lanes worked, although glitches once. The "call server" button at the table didn't work =\ Place was really gross... Garbage all over, a mountain of paper towels in the bathroom... Water all over, etc Staff didn't seem to care at all... And the music kept playing the same 10 songs. First time bowlin here in van... Company was good, but yeah... Disappointed. =| read more

SO fun. Some friends and I went out drinking last night and decided to go bowling last minute. After googling this place, it was a quick 20 minute drive from the North Shore (Woo, no traffic!) and we each paid $18 and bowled away. The music is great, the atmosphere is awesome, and I have a newfound love for bowling. Definitely check this place out on a Friday night if you're in the area! read more

Yes, the bowling balls are pretty greasy, but hey eight bucks for some group entertainment is pretty worth it especially on a rainy day. Apparently this is much better than going to the 5-pin one on Granville St downtown. Standard 10-pin games, with computer screens and decent bowling shoes. Take a skytrain to Holdom, it's situated right next to the station. read more

I came here for one of my friend's birthday parties on a Friday night. REVS Bowling is located on Lougheed Highway. In order to easily access the parking lot, you are better off traveling down Douglas Road, then turning left onto Goring Street. You have to pay for parking if you park in their actual parking lot at either the front desk or at the machine outside the front entrance. We arrived at 8 PM, and since we couldn't get reservations we got on the wait list. They give you a pager so you can hit up the bar while you're waiting for your lanes to open up. We had to wait about ~25 minutes, but that's not too bad for a Friday night. Some reviews mention that you have to buy food to purchase alcohol, but that didn't seem to be the case for us, since we ordered a few pitchers of beers and no food between the 12 of us. It cost us $17/person to play 2 games, but that cost just increased on December 1st to $20/person on a Friday night. I thought that was a bit expensive for 2 games of bowling - especially compared to other bowling alleys in the Lower Mainland. I guess you're paying for the perks of being able to drink alcohol right at the lanes and having 10 pin bowling on a Friday night. The drinks actually weren't overpriced, and I really enjoyed the lychee-bacardi 151 shots for $3.35+tax. A warning about the shoes: They are velcro bowling shoes that have split sizes (7/8, 9/10, etc.). I'm a size 7.5/8 depending on the shoe brand, and the size 7/8 shoes were HUGE. I wasn't the only one who had this complaint in our group, so consider sizing down. The bowling itself was pretty good. There is a good selection of bowling balls ranging from 8 to 15 pounds. I'm terrible at bowling, but I still had a great time. Both games ended prematurely, with the light turning off at our bowling lane while 2 people still had one turn left. The staff fixed it pretty quickly, but that's definitely an error that should be fixed. The music playlist is a bit crazy. Way too many ballads and rap music, and not nearly enough dance music. I did like that they show the music videos, but whoever is in control of the music has a really interesting opinion of what music is appropriate to bowl to. A few reviews mention that you can text a number to request songs, and I wish I would have known that because that would have been awesome! I didn't actually use the bathroom, but the girls in our group mentioned that most of the toilets were clogged, and what wasn't clogged was dirty. You don't expect bowling alley bathrooms to be super clean, but that's just terrible. Overall, bowling is a great group activity and this bowling alley does offer a lot of perks. I just don't think it's the best bowling alley out there in the Lower Mainland. read more

It's always a fun time at REVS Bowling. Since I was a kid, bowling has been one of those things you do to kill time and have fun. Doesn't matter how well (or poorly) you bowl, you still do it regardless. The bowling aspect of REVS is what it is. There are multiple lanes available, shoe rentals fit for all sizes, and bowling balls for all strengths. Food, however, is another story. Don't expect the freshest salads or perfect pizzas. Cooking is not their forte! Despite this, anyone can still have a great time at REVS without eating. Parking is available in a massive lot, and if you're not driving, Holdom Station is a 5-10 minute walk away. read more
