    My girl and I decided to go bowling for date night, and after seeing The BLVD advertised all over social media, we figured we'd give it a try. The best way I can describe it is that it's like Dave & Buster's, but with bowling. They also had two pool tables. When we arrived, the bowling area wasn't busy at all. One group was leaving, so for most of our two games it felt like we had the place to ourselves. We also timed our visit perfectly because they were offering a discounted hourly rate if you arrived before a certain time, which made it an even better value. The customer service was great from the moment we walked in. The staff greeted us and got us checked in quickly. You enter the bowlers' names directly on the touchscreen, and instead of having to leave your lane to order food or drinks, there's a small kiosk where you can place your order right from your lane. The food menu didn't really catch our attention, so we kept it simple and ordered onion rings with ranch and a couple of waters. The onion rings were good. They were delivered right to our lane. The bowling itself was a lot of fun. There were TVs throughout the bowling area showing sports, which added to the atmosphere. Overall, we had a great date night. Between the friendly staff, affordable pricing, and fun environment, the BLVD made for a great evening. We'll definitely be back. Next time we'll probably spend some time in the arcade and maybe grab a meal at the restaurant or bar after we're done bowling.

    Since its opening The BLVD has delivered in bringing fun entertainment in a safe space for everyone in the area. My son has gone a few times with friends, I've met up friends for drinks as well. Each visit always better than the last. Recently dropped in for a lunch with my mom. She had heard good things about their fish and chips so she had to find out for herself. I can attest to the hype. These fish and chips have a crispy batter. Nice fries too. I'd order them again. The highlight here was their sliders. They added caramelized onions along with a Big Mac inspired sauce. These were bomb. Craving some more just writing this review. We were able to take advantage of the lunch specials. So for the fish and chips, pick two combo of sliders and a garden salad, and three beers our lunch total came out to $44. Pretty fair if you ask me. Our server was very attentive throughout our meal as well.

    My family and I love bowling so I was really excited to check out The BLVD a few weeks ago for a birthday party. The BLVD is located in West Sacramento and had plenty of parking spaces out front. Our friends rented out a semi private room for all of us to bowl - the private room had about 8 bowling lanes plus a pool table. There were also comfy couches and chairs to sit in. There were pizzas and French fries for everyone that were pretty decent, plus drinks! Besides bowling, The BLVD also has a massive arcade and laser tag. We didn't check out any games or laser tag during our visit, but they had a ton of games that looked really fun! Some I had never even seen before! While I was walking around looking for the bathrooms, I also saw a large bar area with every alcohol imaginable. Overall, The BLVD is a great place for a birthday party, girls night or even date night! Staff at the front desk were very friend as well. We'll be back!

    Bowling on this good Juneteenth

    Came here with my boo as part of our Juneteenth shenanigans and this place was pretty cool. We came for a quick game during the daytime prices which was $30 for an hour..... sheesh when did bowling become so high!? The price jumped after 5pm so we were lucky to arrive when we did. We planned to eat after but grabbed some onion rings that were so good to hold us over. The service was great from the guy with the cool fro at the register to the nice young lady who brought out our food. The location was clean, the TVs were massive and the lanes were cool. Mr Man and I will definitely return.

    i came to the BLVD for a fun date, and it was amazing. the inside ambiance has it all: arcade full of games, bowling, gift shop and TV's playing the games my favorite game was the Jurassic Park shooting game, and there are various types of games, some for fun, some to collect your token for use at the gift shop i loaded my new card with $40, and it was perfect for 2 people, try a bit of everything inside the BLVD. lowkey one of Sac's funnest arcades

    Such a fun night at The BLVD! We did laser tag, grabbed dinner and finished the night in the arcade. The staff was friendly and everything was clean and organized. Already planning another trip back.

    This is a really cool spot to have in the community. It reminds me a lot of Round1 but a smaller and less chain version. There's a bowling alley, a lot of arcade games, and laser tag. It also has a full restaurant and bar inside which is nice to give you some sustenance while you are busy doing all sorts of games. My only issue with this place is the size. Granted, it's a pretty large venue already but it should be bigger or more spaced out. On weekends this place gets PACKED. Almost to the point where it is hard to walk through to get to your lane or game. The games feel very compact and basically on each other. The food was decent, not the best burger and pizza I've ever had but still solid. The guacamole was a surprise banger. I'd say expect to walk out of here for about $25 a person to get some food or drinks. The bowling and laser tag are a bit steep but that's just how the economy is in 2026. Bottom line/TLDR: a great gathering spot for the community

    5/5 for the kids games , laser tag, and bowling area. My kids had so much fun. As for prizes, it's almost impossible to get. You need to play at least 1k to get any prizes. 3/5 for the food. I liked the club sandwich, but the wings and pizza were very Digiorno warm in the oven type of thing. We had my daughters birthday here and she had a blast, but I wish they had little areas for the kids to purchase food and drink. Service was kind despite the big screens not working . This was an over all good family vibe. Bar had some good prices too . The cocktails are expensive but the $15 bucket of beers wasn't too bad.

    Again. The deal that doesn't exist. LOL. From the website ..

    **disclosure long review but trust me worth the read to consider** BOWLING PINS DON'T REGISTER THE CORRECT KNOCKED DOWN PINS It pains me to write these kind of reviews. Sometimes when a newer spot opens and has all the elements you want you just assume it'll be the best place ever and it'll become your new favorite spot. This place has everything. Decently large arcade with lots of good game selection. Full service restaurant and bar with sit down area. Laser tag. Pool tables. Nice bowling lanes with comfy roomy seating. So why the bad review?? Unfortunately my night with a friend here was just one mishap after the other. Despite all the issues we had a blast and laughed it off. And very employee we interacted with was kind and trying to dissolve the issues. But let me begin. First off we made a reservation for 9:30pm, we got there at 9pm and checked in. Wasn't ready yet no biggie. We check back in at 9:30pm and still not ready. They said someone was cleaning the area and we had to wait another 15 mins. When we got to the area it was still messy with food and stuff all over the floor and a guy walking up just as we sat down to start sweeping. Then rolls around 10pm and we wanted to take advantage of the deal with the 10pm to close "panic hour" which is half off draft beers and well cocktails. We figure we will get it once the server stops by. Sadly a server never stops by. We call to "request service" three different times on our pad and they never came. So i just walk over to the bar and figure I'll order there. When i get to the bar I mentioned the deal and the server said no they don't have that it's been discontinued. And I'm confused and thinking wait what? (Mind you there is signage for it all over the place, and on the website, AND in the menus at the bar which I point out) the server was really kind and confused and I could tell he genuinely did not know about this deal or it still being a thing? Whole time he's helping me he said he will honor it but has to get approval from a manager. It takes me 15 mins to get two drinks and get my order rung up. When he took my card he was gone for over 5 mins to get my check from the manager. And mind you I let him know a server never came to our section and he said he would let someone know to come by and... nobody came by. The entire hour we bowled. And the biggest mishap was the bowling pins. Me and my friend were at lane 13 and I'll be honest. We are pretty average with bowling. We get a gutter ball for a few frames then after practice get better. So it took some time for us to notice that the whole time we were playing it was adding pins we knocked over and then not giving us credit for our spares!! For literally almost every frame. Me and my friend were just busting out laughing about the whole situation. Whole time we got maybe 4 spares each and it said every time we only knocked over 9 - my friend got one strike, never registered she made all 10 down said she only got 9. Mind you again this whole expierence was hilarious. The fact we were able to get it on camera so many times just is incredible! LOL To give some positives the food here is good. Drinks here are delicious. The dirty sodas are also amazing. But after reading everything you just read, would you come here again?

    Fun arcade games place with laser tag and bowling. We tried laser tag and had a fun 10 minutes that seemed to last longer! This wasn't in a bad way when time usually flies having fun--it was all fun and vivid indeed! The other arcade games like racing with motion, basketball to football, and shooter games were fun too. The downside was the limited rewards room, but this didn't seem to like a big downside since having fun with the activities was the main deal.

    Was excited to come check out this new hangout spot, and it was nice and new but overall pretty small, and was just disappointed by the service! I showed up a few mins early for our bowling lane reservation under my brother in law's name. The girl at the counter seemed clueless and told me she wasn't sure if our lanes were ready yet and just stared at me. Didn't bother to look it up, ask around, nothing! The workers showed zero motivation or initiative. When we finally did get checked in by someone else, another girl just didn't have any common sense at all - I told her we would need at least 3 lighter bowling balls for the kids so she went to grab them behind the counter and handed them to me one by one. I have no idea how she thought I was going to carry all three, with a bin of shoes, AND walk my kids over to the bowling lanes!? So strange. The bowling area itself is nice but again pretty small, so make sure to reserve if you have a big party. The seating areas were nice with couch seating. But the screens to setup games were so confusing. They have so many options and all we wanted was a simple game! And there was nowhere to select bumpers for certain players like other bowling alleys have. We had to flag someone down (the service button on the screen did absolutely nothing) to finally get bumpers up. Arcade area had decent games but again, pretty small. Overall would not come back all the way here for this place!

    Had a blast @ BLVD! I've been to other BLVD locations in San Jose, so I'm glad to finally have one closer to home. Located in the old Safeway building in west Sacramento, this huge 37,000+ sq. ft. space includes immersive bowling, 65+ arcade & VR games, laser tag, billiards, and massive sports screens. We arrived hungry so of course our first stop was to check out the restaurant section on the west end of the establishment. The eating area has plenty of seating for larger gatherings with family and friends or for you and your date at the full service bar. With happy hour, lunch and dinner menu, there are lots of choices for food and refreshments. We ordered salad, burgers, boneless wings and pizza. Food was solid and pricey, but this top notch experience is worth the price in my opinion. Service at both the eating area and front register were fast, friendly and helpful. We purchased and loaded our cards to play at the arcade. The asphalt moto blitz and skee-ball were my favorite games to play! Bowling was extra fun as they offer different type of bowling games like they do at Top Golf. We chose Angry Birds to switch it up. We couldn't stop laughing and drinking and eating. This place is perfect for parties, date nights, and all-ages fun! Have fun.

    FOOD - Crispy Mozzarella Sticks: 6 breaded and fried mozzarella sticks. 4/5 - Bacon Jalapeno Wontons: cream cheese, bacon, jalapeños in a deep fried wonton with sriracha aioli. 4/5 - Signature Slider Trio -- The Haggard: bacon, cheddar, onion straw, and BBQ sauce. 4.5/5 -- The Bacon Jalapeno Crunch: cheddar, onion straw, bacon-jalapeno spread, and garlic slaw with sriracha-aioli. 4.5/5 -- The Big Kahuna: bacon, grilled pineapple, Swiss, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions with teriyaki and mayo. 4.5/5 SERVICE: Friendly and fast enough. We took advantage of happy hour which gives you $2 off shareables and half of drafts on Mon-Fri from 3-6PM. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I would come back. The food was pretty good. My kids had a great time bowling and playing in the arcade.

Very pretty interior, comfortable booths. Our server was really sweet and the bartender was fantastic too. They were out of the liqueur needed for the spritz my friend ordered so he made her a special drink and when she didn't love it he made her a different one entirely. They also comped the drink which was nice. My blackberry margarita was made well, fairly strong. We both enjoyed our food. She got the breakfast tacos and liked them. I got the chicken and waffles. The chicken was nice and crispy and I really enjoyed the variety of fruit served on the side. The one star off is pretty much entirely for the extremely pale and lackluster waffle I was served. It looked and tasted like an undercooked Eggo and I was surprised they were serving something like it at all. Basically the only (but slightly glaring) fault of the meal. Overall we would definitely go back. Not sure why it's not a more popular spot for brunch. I hope they figure out their waffle situation but other than that very enjoyable experience.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but our experience at Tom's Bar was extremely disappointing…read more We made reservations well in advance, paid ahead of time, and even arrived more than an hour early. We were third in line for the reservation queue, so we expected that arriving early would help us get decent seating. Instead, we were assigned seats on the open patio directly in the blazing sun. The patio umbrellas weren't working, making the seating area unbearably hot on a warm afternoon. We politely asked if we could be moved to another table, but the staff was unwilling to accommodate us. When general admission opened, we even offered to give up our reserved seats and move into the general admission section instead. Despite there being an opportunity to make that happen, our request was again denied. After only 15-20 minutes, we had no choice but to leave because the conditions were simply unbearable. Paying in advance, arriving early, and still receiving the worst seats--with no willingness to help find a reasonable solution--made for a very frustrating experience. Customer service is about solving problems when they arise. Unfortunately, that didn't happen here, and it left us with a very poor impression of Tom's Bar. We missed a good part of the World Cup Finals which was the main purpose of going there. Costed us in fee and parking and lots of unnecessary anxiety!

    Came on a Tuesday work day for lunch. Sat quickly, menus quickly. Not too busy…read more Chips and salsa, especially the green salsa, are FIRE! Got a burrito bowl with carne asada to get my veggies in and got the beans and rice on the side. The portion was very large and the flavor was so good! My coworkers got the carnitas and loved it also. Also got a little $5 cheese quesadilla on the side. Service was prompt, food came out SUPER fast which was great for lunch. This place delivers on great food. Try it!

    We arrived around 5:15pm on Monday, July 6th for the World Cup USA game. The game started at 5pm so…read morewe arrived shortly after it started. Thankfully there was still parking in the lot and seats inside. I was happily surprised there were still seats available as it was the USA game. The place was busy, but not packed. There were still a few seats at the bar when we arrived and a couple of tables available. It was the perfect place to arrive late to watch the game. This has turned over many times since we've lived here. Now it's a Mexican restaurant and bar. It's cleaned up well since we were here last. It has a very cute entrance. It has a couch and 2 shelving units on the sides of the couch. There is a sign above the couch that says Tequila Weill never break your heart. Veggie Taco Salad $14.75: Fired flour tortilla, pinto beans, grilled vegetables, avocado, sour cream, roasted corn & greens. It was very tasty. We loved the grilled vegetables. They were fresh and hot in the bottom of the taco salad on top of the pinto beans. The sour cream was drizzled on top of the avocados. Under that was a little bit of lettuce. There could have been a lot more lettuce. I would order it again. Mulita $7.55 regular price. $5 during happy hour, we sadly missed happy hour by minutes: stuffed corn tortilla, choice of meat, melted cheese ,with sour cream and guacamole on the side. I don't recall there being guacamole on the side, I think they put it in it. The Mulita was chuck full of meat, it was overflowing. It was very tasty. Though very messy. It's hard to eat with your hands alone. We cut it up into small pieces and ate it with our hands. We'd order it again. The ambiance was good. People were cheering for the USA. It was a fun environment. Subdued compared to other watch parties we've been too, but it was still nice.

    Although located in a not so great area in West Sac, Cheers does have that dive bar charm. It is…read moresuper tiny inside with minimal seating other than around the bar. They have a pin ball machine, 1 pool table and a shuffleboard which I don't think is in use. We came here because they were hosting a pool game for our league and the owner or manager was nice enough to supply us with food since they do not have a kitchen. The bartender was quick, efficient and friendly. The regulars were also very welcoming. Overall, it's more like a 3.5 but chose to round up since we had a good time and appreciate the hospitality of the owner/manager.

    OK so here's the Situation report....It was New Year's Day and my power had been out for about 16…read morehours and I really wanted to watch the 49ers vs Raiders game. So I went out and my 1st and 2nd choice places were closed and too packed...so I quickly yelped what else was nearby and found Lighthouse and Cheers bar were down the road. I stopped at the first one I came across which happened to be Cheers (also I had been to lighthouse before and I'm always up for trying new things!) The parking lot was empty and it looked closed, but we still decided to give it a try. So we let ourselves in through a mini iron gate and opened the door that faces the street and to our surprise it was open! We walked through a mesh screen and a huge cleaning chemical scent hit us right in the face... it was super quiet too, but there were a handful of people there (Raiders fans- booo ) and they had the game on a few TVs (muted though since ppl were paying for Jukebox time). My friend brought in her Starbucks drink (since she doesn't drink alcohol and wanted a nice sipper)...she was immediately told that it's not allowed so she put it back in the car...I suddenly thought that this spot was not a good choice...but I really wanted to watch the game and to give it a shot. I was afraid the chemical smell would make me feel nauseous and cause a headache, but fortunately my nose adapted...and figured hey it could be worse..at least we know they clean and it didn't smell like shit. They actually had coffee there so my friend opted for that and she thought it was pretty good! I got Modelo on tap followed by a Jamaica cider. The Modelo tasted a little flat, but I got through it. The cider was way better. Cheap drinks so that's a plus (and they didn't taste like chemical - thank goodness). The first bartender (a girl named Sam I think I heard), was not the friendliest, but she still greeted and tended to us. Another bartender came in later, an Asian guy with great humor and a huge personality, and it immediately warmed the place up. There was also a couple that brought in some beef stew to share with everyone so that made it feel more welcoming. I ended up chatting with a cute guy named George (Cowboys fan unfortunately) who also was there for his first time. It got a little packed at the bar after halftime and my friend felt a little uncomfortable, so we left in the 3rd quarter and went to grab lunch and finish the game on my phone. Overall, It wasn't the best - I prefer to watch the game with the volume up and drinks and initial impression could have been better, but it ended up being just what I needed to get my mind off of my stresses (namely the power outage at home). I still like my other spots better, but wouldn't mind returning to the bar again and giving it another shot... They also have pool tables and an Avatar pinball machine that were calling my name. :)

    This was my second visit this year (Oct 2, 2026) and it was warm each time I've visited. If my…read morememory is still with me in the past it's always been cool inside, but I may remembering a different restaurant. Or I'm remembering them in the winter months. When we arrived the parking lot was full. We still found a space that didn't have a teriyaki sign on it. The majority of the parking spots are for the teriyaki spot across the street. We've parked in those spots before and crossing our fingers we've never been ticketed. It always makes me nervous. Lots of people were eating outside, we opted for inside as the weather was the same inside and out and there were less flies inside. We ordered a bacon, grilled onion burger, I thought it was supposed to have cheese, but I didn't. We cut it in half and it was enough for two of us got it with a side Caesar salad and a side of onion rings. It was the perfect amount. We even had 2 onion rights left over. Dinner was very tasty.

    The food was pretty good, but unfortunately the overall experience left a lot to be desired…read more I ordered the Spicy Guacamole Burger with garlic curly fries, and my husband got the Chorizo Burger with chili fries. I'd never had garlic CURLY fries before, so that was a fun change. Since it was our first time here, we didn't realize the setup was order first, get a table number, then find your own seat and they bring the food to you. There wasn't much direction. Someone greeted us at the front, but then continued talking to someone else, so we were left trying to figure it out ourselves. The biggest issue, though, was the FLIES!. And to be clear, we were sitting indoors, not in the outdoor seating area. There were flies constantly flying around and landing near and on our food, and we had to repeatedly swat them away while trying to eat. The restaurant has a large opening between the indoor and outdoor areas, which is probably allowing them to come inside, but something really needs to be done about it. Having flies flying around and landing near your food while you're eating indoors is just gross and makes it difficult to enjoy your meal. The other issue was honestly shocking: there is NO baby changing station/table in either restroom. As a parent, I find this incredibly disappointing and, frankly, pretty inconsiderate and disrespectful to us moms.... Our baby unfortunately had a diaper blowout while we were there. I checked the large stall in the women's restroom, hoping there might be one of those fold-down changing tables on the wall. Nothing. I even had my husband check the men's restroom, and there wasn't one there either. Thankfully, we had brought our bassinet with us, so we ended up having to use that to clean our baby up -- essentially doing a full diaper blowout cleanup in the area between the men's and women's restrooms. It was stressful, embarrassing, and completely avoidable. Restaurants that welcome families (didn't see a no kids sign) should have a safe, sanitary place for parents to change their babies. Not having a changing station anywhere in the restaurant puts parents in an awful position. Not every parent has a bassinet with them, I saw other babies in regular strollers, and parents should not have to figure out where they can comfortable clean up a baby's dirty diaper. Please consider installing a baby changing station in at least one, preferably both, restrooms, even dad changed diapers too. This is a basic accommodation that would make a huge difference for families. The food was decent, but the flies -- even while sitting indoors -- and especially the complete lack of a changing station made our first visit much more frustrating than it needed to be. I hope management takes these issues seriously and install a changing table as soon as they see this.

It sets the perfect vibe, whether you are starting your night out or looking for an epic late night bite. The team actually takes the time to listen to exactly what you want and executes your order to absolute perfection.

A huge thank you to Al & Tony for providing such fantastic service. We will absolutely be back because of them!

I opted for a chicken sandwich with as side of buffalo fries and my sister opted for a burger with a side of fries. They had a DJ and sports games on the TV so it was a little loud inside, but nothing too bad. The food came out relatively quickly and we were excited to dig in! The sandwich was very flavorful and definitely my favorite part of the meal. The chicken was juicy and the veggies tasted fresh. The buffalo fries were also good. However, the buffalo sauce was a little too overpowering and next time I will ask for it on the side. I ended up requesting an extra side of ranch to help with the taste. My sister enjoyed her burger. Overall, we had a pretty good experience and would come back.
