I've been bowling at Winnetka for about 1.5 years and man. I love it. I'm in a league there on Thursday nights and the environment is so dope and chill. Can get loud but hey that's just the competitive spirit of the bowlers. Glad that I'm welcomed there. read more

My 3 Stars is Neutral because we just came here to check this place out. So there is nothing bad or good. Oh! But service was good because I was looking to see where the price was to bowl, the person behind the counter asked if I need any assistance. I was here on a Saturday and there were parking and it was quite busy. There was a small restaurant and bar in there. The bowling lanes seemed fine, it's not like the fancy ones with lights. It's normal. read more

Lanes are nice. Bathroom stays clean. They have a party room if you want to bring a group. The shoes don't smell. There's a small arcade and a pro shop. The bartenders are friendly and fast. Food wise I've only experienced a party platter that was deep fried everything. Constantly popping with league bowling. Sometimes there's music. If you need some energy and like tequila ask for a Vajayjay with pineapple. read more

Winnetka Bowl - Doing some bowling and enjoying the Curling in 2026 Olympics on the tube. - Bowling Near Me - Winnetka, California

Our parent company had their Kickoff Party here. Not gonna lie, the pics on Google didn't do this place full justice. While walking in it does give you a bit of nostalgia of the old-timey bowling alley, however the technology has been updated. We had it in the event space where the karaoke area, bar and pool tables were. The bar staff were fantastic and kind to us. I played a couple rounds of pool which took a number of tokens to release the balls. They have a small arcade with one pinball machine, some shooting games and a basketball game. I didn't bowl because the last time I did I was so sore the next day and I didn't want to feel like that on my flight back to the east coast. But I did watch others bowl and they were having a great time. The "cosmic" bowling experience happened with the main lights off and the strobe lights waving around. Seems like a chill place to hang out on a Friday night. read more

Very nice and spacious bowling alley! My friend and I went yesterday which was a Sunday afternoon, there is plenty of parking in a large parking lot, and I saw they also have a diner attached! My friend and I rented the lane for one hour, and we had allot of fun. The balls were not greasy and they were easy to handle, and there were no glitches or issues with our game or playing in our lane. The facility is clean and it was fairly packed with a tournament going on, but there were still a handful of lanes free. Staff stood along the walls behind us watching with nonsmiling faces which at first made me wonder if they were monitoring all the lanes for behavior, but I think they stand there to watch in case of any glitches so they can help quickly? Either way it was a little intimidating at first wondering about it but then I ignored it and just continued to have fun. Would definitely come back and play here again! read more

Great place to bowl or join a league. Nice bar and the cafe has great food but a little pricey but what isn't.

WOWIE! What a place. My son has just returned from disciplinary military camp in Eastern Europe, and he is glistening with excitement! He has always loved to bowl, and now with his newfound discipline he will be throwing strikes for days. Thank you winnetka bowl, another great bowling day for my little boy, and after church too. AMEN. read more

We had a holiday party for my office at Winnetka bowl in December 2024. It was extremely economical and we had a great time! The pizza and tacos were great. Customer service was very good and the place was clean and decorated for the holidays. The bowling scorekeeping machines are easy to use. There is also a small arcade with an air hockey table available. read more

Winnetka is one of the best bowling alleys in Southern California. The only problem is getting a lane because they're typically full. Their league begins at 5 PM (except Friday & Saturday), so they shut lanes down around 4:30. They have daily specials, so take advantage of $20 all you can bowl for 2 hours starting at 2:30 PM. read more

Lots of lanes. Arcade, pool table, and a large bar. The prices of the drinks aren't bad either. The place could use a refurbishment. It looks ran down. We saw a water bug on the floor and the employees tried to hurry up and clean it up. It is attached to a restaurant but it has a big B on the door so I wasn't eating there. The bar was the best part. read more

i've been going here for 3 (going on 4) years! always a good time. The employees provide excellent service and the bartenders are amazing as well. read more

This is the best traditional bowling place! And it's clean with a huge parking lot. Forget all those frills from the fancy places that don't even oil their lanes well. The price is right at Winnetka Bowl! This is where all the pros bowl. It's hard to get a lane on the weekends, you should call ahead before going because there could be the occasional tournament or league practice. read more

I'm a regular at this establishment bowl twice week and the people are very friendly recommend it

Worst service I have ever had. The man at the front desk had a very bad attitude and racist

Bowing was fine it's what you would expect. The food however was gross! We ordered almost everything off the menu. Nachos, chicken strips, hot dog, chile cheese fries, mozzarella sticks & zucchini fries. All gross! read more

Bowling alley is one of the best around! It's clean and the workers are really nice. The rates are pretty cheap too which lets me play more

I've gone here several times to do some bowling plans. If anyone has tried bowling with a group of people the same day plans are made, they know how hard it is to find a good bowling spot that actually has available lanes. I definitely recommend calling ahead to ask about open lanes as there were a few times that lanes would be fully booked or closed due to individuals from a pro league. It's especially hard once 5pm rolls in as the evening hours are packed with people trying to go bowling. If it's the weekend, it's guaranteed that most lanes are booked for the rest of the night already. Luckily, my girlfriend and I choose to play some billiards and entertain ourselves if we don't hit the jackpot but it can get disappointing. Price wise, I think it's alright but still on the pricier side. It is definitely easier to manage if you take advantage of the sales and specific deals they have going on, usually advertised. That's why planning on a bowling day or even reserving a lane ahead of time is most desirable, because 1) you get a lane secured and 2) you may even snag a good deal read more

What's not to like about an occasional trip to a bowling alley? My dad was turning 86 and he said, "No Party!" I said I'd take him bowling, have a beer and slice of pizza and he agreed. There were 6 bowlers and two spectators on a single lane and we all had a great time. It cost 80 bucks to rent the lane for 90 minutes, including shoes. The counter staff was efficient and very helpful. The rental shows were clean and comfortable. The available balls were plentiful. The lane scoring was easy to work. The beer was cheap. The pizza was actually pretty good. Like I said...What's not to like? read more

Winnetka Bowl - Happy 86th, Dad! - Bowling Near Me - Winnetka, California

Hard core bowlers come here. Plenty of lanes, shoe rentals, a restaurant, a bar, and arcade. Great for groups of people and the whole family

Affordable prices, love the restaurant with great cocktails inside. We had my daughter's birthday party here and it went smoothly. Highly recommend for kids parties and just a fun night out with family and friends. read more

I've been to many bowling alleys throughout the LA/OC region, and I can confidently say that the best alley in SoCal has to be Winnetka Bowl. I love this place so much that I drive all the way from Santa Monica three times a week just to bowl here. The prices are great, and you can also find plenty of specials to choose from. the leagues are very competitive but overall everyone is friendly so anyone can join a league The lanes are extremely well taken care of, the approaches aren't sticky, the oil patterns are consistent, and overall, everything is maintained the best. It's an ideal place for bowlers who take the game seriously, but they also do a great job accommodating families, kids, and casual outings. They have good house balls/shoes and plenty of options for kids, like bumpers and ball ramps, so everyone can have fun. I also really appreciate the staff here, theyre the best. Bevin, Kayla, Bryan, Justin, Sabrina, Mia, Caleb, Mo, Fransisco, Christian ,Colby, and Trac (just to name a few) are always friendly, professional, and genuinely make the experience better every time. they're Solid people who i just like being around...Theyre also really good bowlers, which sometimes feels like free lessons for someone trying to get better =) The crowd is great too, it's a good mix of serious bowlers, league players, and people just having fun. If you're a bowler in SoCal, you owe it to yourself to check this place out. PS - Rusty and Karl at the shop are great too. They take care of you with very reasonalbe and great customer service seats, the lanes area and bathrooms are always clean too All to say, winnekta bowl is easily one of my favorite places in all of socal, definitely give it a go read more

Embarrassing excuse for a bowling alley. Wish I could put 0 stars We came as a group ready to have fun and spend money, but Mia and Justin at the front desk made sure we felt completely unwelcome. Mia gave eye rolls and attitude for asking simple questions. Justin ignored us, helped others first, and when we asked what was going on, gave the classic "I don't know what to tell you" -- translation: I don't care. read more

I came here tonight with my daughter, a friend and her son. We got a lane for 1.5 hours for $65 and that included shoes and up to 6 people. We got an end lane which was actually awesome. There was a lot of room for the kids to dance around. We got hungry during bowling and went to the snack shack. We ordered a hot dog and pizza and they heat it up and bring it to you so you can keep bowling. This was awesome. We were able to bowl almost 2 games and the kids had a blast. After bowling we ate at the diner which was convenient and the food was ok. They have a small arcade and pool tables which is nice. There is a ton of parking which is nice and I will definitely be back! read more

Plenty of parking and they also have an arcade as well. They have at least 30 lanes to bowl which is fun for all ages. They also have brackets in each lanes for kids. Offering of foods and Staff were friendly read more

Came here for years and spent a lot of money in this place. My group and I would take up about 4 lanes and were never any trouble (didn't smoke/ vape in the lanes, wore our bowling shoes, and kept to ourselves for the most part. Our night ended abruptly the last time we came here due to one of my group members trying to take a picture along the side of the last lane. Without warning our lanes were shut off for the rest of the night. Considering I hear other groups get multiple warnings for breaking other rules I thought we would get the same, but nope. Instead, they chose to be pity and not turn our lanes back on, and we went home. Really disappointed in the front desk staff considering over the years we had to deal with their mood swings of having bad days at work/having bad jobs. Will not be back here due to the unprofessionalism of the front desk staff. read more

Came here with a couple friends. Bathrooms were dirty, lady named Mia had some sort of attitude. When our ball got stuck, Justin came to help and also had a dirty attitude. Seemed like those 2 don't enjoy working there or something... read more

Very unfair behavior from the people up front (Mia and Justin) we have been coming here for 3+ years and shut off our games for a silly mistake. There was no warning or willingness to talk about it. Sheer pettiness and weird behavior for people who have been loyal and given business every Monday. Giving business to the bar and having a great time and good relationships with with everyone until now. The people in the bar are great tho! Don't bother coming here they do not value customer service. read more

After 4 years of coming here with a group of 12+ every Monday and giving this place business, the staff, specifically Mia and Justin, they wrongfully kicked us out for walking down the side path next to the bowling lanes. Gave us no warning and immediately kicked us out when we have seen people throw multiple balls down lanes a few times a night. There have been people who walk down ACTUAL lanes and just get a warning. Never seen anyone kicked out at our time there, until us. The people who have given this place business and no courtesy or loyalty was shown to us WHATSOVER. Terrible explanations were given by the front desk and Justin, and it was an unfathomable experience. Shoutout John and the bar staff though. read more

We came to play and it's was a lot aisles open and the guy told us to wait 20 min we have been waiting for 40 min a lot of space to start playing and they didn't gave us place to play and we are family with kids . I won't come back here terrible service read more

I've taken my boys here (3 & 5) a few times over this past year and we've had nothing but great experiences. Once or twice we've come here and the wait time was a lot longer than expected (usually due to league games going on) but we always end up getting a lane much faster than originally projected. The other customers here are always great. They are always cheering on my sons as they bowl and commenting how great they are. Everyone has been incredibly respectful and encouraging. My sons have, a few times, said how they like the other bowlers here. Something they haven't told me about other bowling lanes we've taken them too. In all, Winnetka Bowl is a great place to bring the family. The atmosphere is welcoming, the place is kept clean, and the parking is ample. There's really no down side. not to mention, during the summers, they participate in the unlimited bowling plan where you pay one fee and your kids can bowl as much as you want (on weekdays). Definitely take advantage of that! read more

Winnetka Bowl has been a bit revamped since I've been last and looks nicer with some modern features. Besides going in person (walk-ins), you can also reserve lanes online. There's 32 lanes here to choose from. The establishment features a restaurant/bar (with a stage where live music plays on some days), lounge area, arcade, billiards area, and shop. Prices vary slightly based on day and time like other places and they also do cosmic bowling Thursdays-Saturdays. Prices: M-F 9am-5pm $4 per game per person, $25 per hour per lane M-TH 5pm-close $6 per game per person, $35 per hour per lane Sat - 9am-5pm $6 per game per person, $40 per hour per lane Fri-Sat 5pm-close; Sun 1pm-close; holidays $7 per game per person, $45 per hour Shoe rentals $4. Maximum people per lane is 6. Pro tip: Check/ask what days they do bowling leagues as this would result in either no lane availability or limited read more

Been coming here for years but I realized I haven't reviews it! Prices are reasonable compared to other bowling places in the valley (like matador bowl) and the lines weren't too long for a Saturday night. You can pay per game or per hour and now you can even reserve lanes online! Sweet! Aside from the bowling lanes, they also have a mini arcade as well as a bar with kareoke, a snack bar, and a whole restaurant attached! It's an all stop shop which we appreciate. The snack bar was surprisingly delicious. Their hot dog was identical to Costco dogs and fairly cheap. $3.75 for it and the same for the nachos. My husband got a pizza and it tasted so fresh! It tasted like they had made it there the crust was so nice and soft. We were honestly please talk surprised. It's def a good spot to come with kids, or friends or a date night like we did. Highly recommend read more

Hands down my favorite bowling alley. I've played in the Phil Am league for a few seasons in the past and it was always really fun. Lanes usually taken care of (as far as oil goes, not too much/little). Definitely the only lanes I go to in the valley. That being said, they often have a lot of leagues and events so it's pretty crowded most days and can be hard to get a lane. read more

It's been years (maybe 10) since my last time bowling here and it has been completely redone. With it's new modern look and bright colors it is definitely a welcoming place. You can even change the screen to a fun theme. I always enjoyed going here with a group of friends and this time was no exception. The staff was friendly and got us to our games quickly. Bonus, there is a yelp check-in for free shoe rental. It wasn't to crowded so we had a huge selection of bowling balls. They have some fun arcade games too. A great place for families or to enjoy with friends. They have many specials throughout the week for packages or discounted games. read more

I just hosted a birthday group for a 60th birthday for 30 people. Everything went amazingly smooth and super easy. It could be the easiest I have ever hosted a party. Bowling lanes reserved, taco bar set out, reserved tables for the bar area for karaoke time. Even the pre-planning with Chris was terrific and easy. I still cannot believe how great the entire process was. Thank you, thank you, Chris and Mozelle. read more

Over the past couple months Ive been here a half dozen or so times, and from the pro shop, to the bar, to the front desk people setting us up with lanes, everyone has been friendly. I have a couple huge shout outs, Elmer is an awesome all around dude and very friendly! (Can't remember their names) The two old timers in the pro shop are just the best! I got my sons set up with their own gear and they really made it a pleasurable experience! I'll be going here forever read more
