I rented the venue and hosted my daughter's birthday there on Sunday and the team went above and beyond to make sure the event ran seamlessly. Angel was so helpful leading up to the event and every request was met-- lighting, food, music, etc. The team was so attentive during the event refilling pitchers and bringing out more pizza and were so friendly and nice to the kids. The place was clean, well-maintained and everyone had so much fun -- adults included. I would absolutely plan and host another event there. Thank you again for making my daughter's birthday so special. You guys were amazing!!!

Having bowled around the world, I'm proud to be part of this hidden gem. The club offers excellent amenities, including an outdoor TV, music, comfortable outdoor couches, BBQ facilities and loaner bowls. Above all, it's the people that make it truly special - they are some of the nicest I've ever met.

The pro shop here also have a very rude attitude towards minor ball scratch since "it didn't affect the play" and say they won't "fix it" because it's a old ball, call it "a piece of junk" when I bring my ball in. Went back to the front desk, let them know the interaction, their response is that they have no say in what the pro shop decide to fix or not. So yeah, pray nothing happen to your ball, cause you know no one is gonna take responsibility to do something. Hope something can change regarding to this

Review #966 2026-032…read more This used to be AMF Bowling & was later acquired via merger by Strike Holdings LLC (dba Bowlmor Lanes), & rebranded as Bowlero in 2017. Since our last visit over the summer, they're now defunct & again renamed to Lucky Strike in 2025. Whew! Bowlero is actually closer to home than the defunct Gable House Bowl, & the very last bowling alley in Torrance after the demise of Palos Verdes Bowl prior to GHB. I went through a phase of bowling at least once per month in my YA years & recently started up again after having kids due to bowling birthday parties. I miss bowling... I bowled for the 1st time when I was teen & can even remember my 1st score of 77. I didn't bowl much, but I'm usually in the mid-range of 150 or thereabouts & have scored a few turkeys in my lifetime. At one point, I had planned to purchase bowling shoes so that I'm not using the public ones since I hung out with friends that either like to bowl or shoot pool. We were invited to a teen's 15th b-day at Bowlero & the space is huge! It has a mini arcade, bar, pool tables, & 40 bowling lanes that's equipped with lounge seats, blacklights, & HD screens that played movies, music videos, & sports. My daughter had a good ol' time with the birthday girl & their friends, most were from her Color Guard team. Both lanes seem to malfunction frequently enough that they didn't get a full 2 hours; the girls didn't seem that into bowling so it was fine. They were served pizza, chips & salsa with fountain drinks. I only wished they were either served before or after bowling to clean their hands since none of them thought to wash their hands between frames. Yikes! ＼(｀0´)／ None could really bowl & scoring 50+ points was an accomplishment with a couple scoring 100+; the random strikes helped in between the gutters. After a couple of rounds, the girls hung out at the arcade; it's on the smaller side with some games that offer tickets that can exchanged at the automated prize hub. I thought Bowlero would be a fun place to hold my 15 YO's birthday celebration the following month because there's so much downtime for her friends to chitchat & hangout. And I happened to find a really great Groupon Deal: $84 for 2 hours of bowling + shoes rental for 6... not sure of the normal rate, but this is $7/hour with shoe rental! I kept it small to help H build relationships with her friends. It's been only a month, & Bowlero is still riddled with technical issues that we spent more time waiting for the tech to fix the problems than bowling. Even with a lane switch didn't do much to fix the frequent downtime. I even requested to be closer to the center of the bowling alley, near the front desk due to the far left lanes' malfunctions. Again, scoring 50+ points was a real accomplishment with one g/f hitting 100+ in the 1st round. At the 2nd go, H had the highest score of 81. I'm not sure when is prime time but the parking lot was half-full at each visit & it was quite busy inside with half the alley in bowling action. Bowlero is a chill place for a family-friendly bowling game or two... if only the technical issues doesn't mar the experience.

Great bowling place!…read more The drinks and food are a bit pricey but we hardly come here so we decided to split the cost. The service is good! The food is good! The place gets packed around 8:30 pm so come around 7:30 if you want to get a lane. And come with a group so that it's cheaper bc it was just me and friend and we played good but we finished so quick. We then went to the bar to have drinks and the bartender Esme made our night bc she was so attentive and quick and helpful with our drinks. Kudos to Esmeralda for being the best bartender! Forgot to take photos of our drinks but they were good!

I'm a total beginner who wants to get better at bowling. Edward provided me with exceptional service and gave me so much information that I didn't get from other places. I finally got my own bowling ball and had no idea of how I wanted it set up. He asked me questions on my "technique" and was I was looking for. He measured my hand and fingers as well as checked the flexibility in my fingers carefully and multiple times to be sure of the hole placements. He was super polite and informative. In the end the ball felt like it was meant for my hand. Ya you can say it's the job but compared to other places we been he was the most through going above and beyond (including his work hours). I can't wait to try out my ball. Here's to new PRs!!

I will never visit this place again. The reason is that…read more1. The length of the balls was long, so I drilled 5 more. All of those balls were long. However, Ben did not admit that he drilled incorrectly. Because of this, my two fingers are in pain. 2. He can't remember the price of the drill. So the price varies from time to time. 3. When I drilled a new ball, he included the cost of the insert in the price of the drill, even though I didn't need an insert. Isn't this a real FXXXXX? 4. He is not kind and often gets irritated. I want to give him 0 stars. Please allow Yelp to rate 0 stars. I never want to meet someone like this again. please!

When I did started listening to him, I found out I was wrong on a lot of things. I have averaged 210-215 with Ben as my go to pro shop. Take a look at his shop and really look at all the home made stuff he made explaining ball motions and layouts. He knows his stuff well. Just customers think they know more than the pro shop operator and some how feel offended when they try to push their agendas against what he says. I know someone who has shot 17 300s with Ben as his go to pro shop, how can you shoot that many 300s if the driller is no good. Something to think about. I have attached one of my latest scores.

So there is definitely something about the atmosphere and the idea of the place that caught my attention. However, the condition and cleanliness of the restrooms really took away from the experience. I checked the restrooms inside the bar area and also the restrooms on the other side of the facility, and unfortunately, both needed significant attention. I noticed cracked flooring, cracked walls, deteriorated hinges and fixtures, and a hand dryer that looked like it had seen better days. The overall cleanliness was also not where I would expect it to be. Some of these are relatively small maintenance issues that, when added together, make a big difference. A restroom doesn't have to be fancy, but it should feel clean, maintained, and comfortable enough that customers don't hesitate to touch the faucet or use the facilities. The good news is that these are fixable things. A little maintenance, a good deep cleaning, and some attention to the details could make a noticeable difference. So, Cal Bowl, I'm actually giving you credit for inspiring me to want to bowl. But when it comes to the restroom experience, Maggie says: this needs some attention. I'm not writing this to be negative or disrespectful. Sometimes a business simply needs someone to point out what customers are seeing. Hopefully, this is helpful--and hopefully the next time I visit, I see some improvements.
