A great spot to hangout with friends! Everything looks clean and new, and just nice overall. Lots to do including bowling, pool, arcade games, plus a bar and restaurant with decent food. The staff is friendly but can sometimes seem unorganized. Overall a great experience!
Best bowling place Ive ever been to! Fun atmosphere, clean venues, delicious drinks, an arcade room, and very affordable prices for everything if you go there on their discount days (Wednesday seems to be their best discount day from what I researched). Great place to go with a group of friends!
Bowlero is a fun place for the whole family! Exciting and energetic atmosphere. They play great music, has an awesome arcade and pool tables too. Ran into just a couple of problems though. They have a great menu of food, and adult beverages, but getting someone to take our order took a while. Also, the bowling balls were left in ball returns of different empty lanes, so instead of them being placed in the racks where they can easily be found, we had to go from empty lane to empty lane until we found the right size bowling ball. Other than that, we had a blast!
Date night. We had a great time. Thanks
Drinks are pricey but all in all, great atmosphere and fun
I had fun plus the food was good. Will definitely be back again
Great arcade, good bowling, decent (if a bit overpriced) food
Great experience everytime and great waitresses!
The place looked fantastic. Very clean. Arcades were fun and the pretzels were great. I wish it were more affordable. Dropped $75 with ease. Give us more affordable combo packages to include drink snacks and arcade pass.
Really great place, lots of lanes and a fantastic bar.
This place is basically my second home. I love it here. The staff is always super friendly and very helpful. One time I left my AirPods and they turned the place upside down looking for them for me. It is a little pricey but you can get good deals on certain nights. It’s definitely worth the money. The food is also good but very pricey. If you live here and need somewhere to go or if you are visiting it is a MUST that you stop here!
Bowling is supposed to be reasonably priced and this is just not that, if you want to drink then you’ll be paying around 50$ total. Just not worth it.
We had a birthday party for my youngest son there and we all had a blast. They did such a great job with the catering and the service. I can’t say enough about how professional and courteous everyone was. I was so impressed. Definitely and highly recommend them for your birthday party or corporate event.
They have Friendly staff and adequate parking. It has a great bar, & drink specials! The food takes awhile to come out! Place stays busy, best to go on a night that does not a league night ...otherwise great place to hang out with friends or take the family and bowl!! Great games in the arcade area and only complaint I have is, 1.)Pool tables cost to much!
This was our first trip to the Bowlero and we totally had a blast. We had my grandsons 10th Birthday party there which included the Birthday boy and 10 adults. So we bowled and enjoyed great pizza and a shrimp plate and drinks with drinks having free refills. We will definitely be a regular and in saying that hopefully our bowling scores get better. No better place to go and have great family fun. OH Yeah!! A fabulous arcade for all to enjoy. The service was great!!! See yall soon Bowlero!!
Lots of fun cant wait to go again
What should have been a fun night unfortunately was ruined by the quality of service. Great place, and very clean, however the food is over priced for what it is and the bar needs to work on efficiency. As a group of 6, we should not have waited over 45 minutes for five (very small) Long Island iced teas, and even when we went up to the bar to order we were ignored for over 10 minutes with maybe 4-5 people sitting at the actual bar. Unfortunately, we all waited an incredibly long time for our food as well, and when it was brought up to the wait staff they did nothing about it or didn’t even remember that we had said anything to them. Some of our food never even came out before the kitchen closed! It came out cold and very greasy.I have also never been treated so rudely by a manager. Ms. Patricia, although trying to be helpful, was one of the rudest managers I have EVER met at any recreation facility. When we went to express how poorly our night had gone, she had the audacity to ask “well what do you want me to do about it” instead of recognizing that the service was so poor that we most likely will not return. We do appreciate her comping our game, however, she would not listen to us when we said we didn’t want that, and would not listen to the problems we had that night. I’m not sure what manager expects the customer to come up with a solution, and in such a rude way.
Poor customer service over charged and when asked for refund cause they charged to much plain out said no
Cool arcade but all bowling alleys are overpriced
The facility was amazing. Food was delicious. It is a little pricey. Some menu items were unavailable. Staff was great!
This is a really awesome place in tuscaloosa, i love it! Very clean and so much fun for an family outting. However, i would suggest going during the week when its less crowded because service can become compromised by to many people. Overrall i was impressed and will definitely vist again,but duting the week.
Love the mixed drinks
This is a great place for a family, friends, and special occasions gathering. The price of the food is a little costly for the amount of food you get, but the food is delicious. Great service and lovely atmosphere!
Im so excited to have such an awesome place like this in our area! I love it! The atmosphere is great and is the perfect venue to go for date nights, family time or hanging out with friends. Its very clean and has tons of space to accommodate a large amount of people. One thing to note is that it can get pricey fairly quickly because the food and alcohol are not cheap and the arcade games are pretty expensive. The only reason I didnt rate it 5 stars is due to the extremely slow food and drink service we experienced both times we went. The first time we ate while sitting at the bar. The second time we ordered our food and drinks to be delivered at our lane while we were bowling. Both times we waited a long time for our order. It wasnt very busy when we were there, so Im not sure why the service was so slow. Regardless, its definitely a place to go for a great time!
SO MUCH FUN!! A bit pricey, but its a good experience you pay for. I was ASTONISHED at how good the food is! I ordered a grilled chicken salad with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I also love that you can program bumpers for individuals instead of the whole lane.
Went on a date night here. Awsome selection of balls and lanes. They hardly had a wait time for us to bowl. The food was really good and the staff was super friendly. I highly recommend this place for a date night.
First time going and the last. Same as most peoples reviews on here had to stand and wait on bartender for atleast 10 minutes before she even spoke to me. On top of that when time to pay for the 3 games for 3 people they try to charge $50 or more then when you correct them they still over charge by $20-30. I will say the manager said he would fix the issue after we get home 40 minutes away. Just be ready to spend some money and please make sure they add the total up right.
$6.69 for a game of bowling.$4.64 for a pair of bowling shoes.$$$ for a decent meal.Con: Got an alcohol bar in the bowling area.A lot of lanes that were open still had food from the previous game. The waiters said that theyd clean it up, but didnt do it when I was bowling w/ my friends. The mess was still there when we were done with the game. The music playing above our head is loud enough to burst your eardrums in the archade area.Pro: Great place to hangout with friends. The place got an archade section, half off Wednesday. Come when its crowded and it may get you a 5 dollar arcade card to spend on games and earn points to get prizes. To check your points, go to the prize area on the left side and youll see it.
Great staff! Great bowling layout! Great arcade area! A great place for the ENTIRE family and the food was also GREAT!
Although Bowlero is a bit expensive ($5+ games, $5+ shoe rentals), we absolutely love the arcade! Bowlero is a great date night for college students (and families)!If youre thinking about going to Bowlero, check groupon for deals! We usually only go when they have discounts, but we love it.
Nice decorations but they lied about their pricing and overcharged me. Make sure to double check your ticket before you bowl.
Games you have so much to choose from other than bowling. The atmosphere is very nice. I like to see safety gates for the kids so they can walk around in the booth. We had that issue chasing them and standing blocking the entrance of the booth. We will be returning.
It was a blast and they also have arcade and bar! Bring a good group and have a roll! The atmosphere is party-like and they also serve food!
Prices are high, bar service was very slow. Arcade is a lot of fun and the bowling is great. Its very new and had a lot of cool new things to draw you in. I will say that the most disappointing thing is the disorganization.
The place is nice and clean. Laid out well. Flatbread pizza was good and quick after ordering.The only complaint for me is the check in process is TERRIBLE.35 people in line and only 2 of the 5 registers open.
Came on a Saturday night. Not enough cashiers and not worth it. Spent 40 minutes in line just waiting on a pair of shoes and it only took us 25 minutes bowl. A robot with a card reader could dispense shoes to a crowd that large faster.
Fun for everyone! Its like a party on Friday and Saturday night. Bring plenty of cash because it gets expensive real quick!
VERY CLEAN AND SANITARY, GREAT ATMOSPHERE
A little to pricey for the experience issues with Lanes and ball return... Ordered a pitcher of beer for 17.00 beer was not cold and glasses not frosted... But it does have a fun chill type of atmosphere
It was very fun. The wait was long but in the wait I played with my boyfriend in the arcade and it was a blast. Definitely recommend to others
Cute place for teenagers. Although they serve adult beverages and do a great job with checking IDs; the overall service is bad and the prices are not economical feasible. Over price place to enjoy yourselves.
Bowling is fun but if you wanna drink don’t come here. They have maybe 2 bartenders and only one is actually working, the other just looks at you. I’m spending money but I guess they don’t wanna make any.
So much fun
Very nice, clean, fun! Went to a birthday party there and the place was very nice. Everyone was having a great time. Great service. It is very crowded, but that’s really my only “complaint”. Definitely would go again!
I have enjoyed the times I’ve came out with family or friends.. Food I ordered was good.. Bowling with friends cool, and the arcades with my kids pretty awesome.
Bowlero is definitely a lot of fun; I especially love the fact that they have the arcade room! Only thing is that the food is too pricey to me personally. I ended up spending $25 on just wings and an alcoholic drink! I dont think a similar order wouldve even cost that much from Dave & Busters. Other than that, I had a great time playing the arcade games and bowling.
Nice bowling alley and arcade but slow service for good and drinks.
Great family place, before 8pm anyways. After hours gets extremely crowded, long waiting lists, ect. Ect.I guess for the company its a great problem to have.Also $7 games and $5 shoes??Call me old fashioned....or maybe just a tightwad...little pricey for me.Solid 4 stars for me folks.
Great family atmosphere and clean.
OK really nice but it cost $18.00 just too shoot pool for 2hrs. outrageous. I will never go back, they are robbing people.
Good entertaining place for family
This is a fun place to hang out with friends, but the overall experience is ruined by how expensive it is. The drinks from the bar are way over priced compared to other bars in Tuscaloosa, and the bar staff seems inexperienced so the drinks are not even that good. Cheaper prices or better weekend specials would boost this places rating
Nice people, clean, fun and exciting
Great experience. Had my sons birthday party there and he loved it. Sarah and Shelby were great hostesses. Arcade was awesome, but a little pricey.
Amazing place. Not just bowling they have an arcade for kids. Or pool for adults.
My experience was so bad that I felt the need to start writing the review as I sat in the facility. It’s not a very far drive however my family and I drove from the Trussville area to celebrate my nephews 8th birthday. We arrived at exactly 5:55, there was a line and because there was a wait the guy at the register was getting customers names and numbers if they wanted to get on the wait list. We get the the front of the line at 6:03. We we told we could not use the Groupon because we were 3 minutes late....1st issue. But whatever just put us on the wait list, we’ll play games while we wait. I go to the bar and I noticed it was a few people in front of me not a problem. Shortly after the bartender come over to me and say I have one more person in front of you. I watched the woman wait on three more people and socialize with her coworkers as I stood there. I finally just walked away. I don’t ever complain but I was so frustrated I decided to talk a manager, Johnathan the bar manager. Long story short at 6:40 my family and I were pulling out of Bowlero to began our hour and 20 minute drive home. As much as I’ve visited Bowlero this was such a disappointment
Very nice. Had an arcade area, eating area, 2 bowling areas, 4 pool tables & all in a very big open space. Best part is you could actually walk around, wasnt packed where you could not enjoy it like D&Bs always is.
This is the nicest bowling alley Ive ever been to. Everything is shiny, new, state-of-the-art. Its also super loud (both in terms of auditory and visual), and the customer service is lack luster. Let me be clear: the people who work there are generally nice, but response time is slow. Super slow. We had issues with the lane skipping two people, for example, and by the time that it was finally fixed, the people on either side of us had bowled 5+ frames each. Im not sure if its a matter of too few employees for number of customers or what.
The experience overall was great except for the bar. The staff that was working the bar after graduation was absolutely awful. They refused to serve us, would not answer questions about pricing, and was rude without provocation. I really wish Bowlero would put more effort into training.
Seems like a fun place and good atmosphere. Dj here tonight and its a great time.But having to go to the bar and be ignored by the bartender (several people came up afterwards and got served) put a damper on things. My brother waiting 20 minutes for a Sprite was ridiculous. So hence, 2 stars.
Very dark over lanes. Cant see your marks when bowling in toutnaments or league play.
The floor is sticky this is suppose to be a bowling alley, and bowling shoes are suppose to slide I have all personal gear... $150 bowling shoes and due to the sticky floor one of my interchangeable slides is messed up... I even went in my bowling bag and pulled out my super slide and it wouldn’t even work... I don’t and won’t ever understand why they allow drinks in the pit... it is dangerous for competitive bowlers like myself and my friends they need to reconsider drinks being allowed in the pot area
Ultra modern, high tech facility. Lively fun atmosphere. Good place for families and adults.
Beautiful venue, confusing payment situation. They charge you based on lanes and not on people, so splitting stuff between friends, especially when one of them arrives late, is difficult and confusing. We had to wait on a manager for a partial refund, which took quite a while. Overall recommend it, but only when they fix their pricing.
Very new and clean. Family fun. Good food. Arcade. Bowling. But there IS a wait. Call ahead to reserve a lane!! Like 4 hours in advance if you can! A nice time. Good for small groups too!
So many games.. It was my first time bowling and I can say it was amazing. Great service. Good music too.
Very nice spot to bowl or video games or just chill and enjoy people
Very friendly customer friendly employees.Environment very upbeat and gets you motivated to get active bowling, socializing and dancing. Management very visible and interactive with customers. Will definitely be going back to bowl on a regular basis
Jordan is the guy you want behind the counter when you go. He makes it the best experience you can have
It was fun.
Its way over price for one thing. Playing pool there is a joke. Maybe two good pool sticks out of 20. And when I say good I mean they actually have a tip on them. Very crowded very slow service not my favorite place at all. However I did do a lot of the painting there and that part looks good LOL
Really nice bowling alley lots of lanes with a helpful staff who are capable of helping you with anything you may need
The Bowlero was awesome it has a great fun exciting atmosphere and tons of games to choose from. The food is really good. It is just plain good family fun.
Great time! The fries are the best part.
Nice place
Nice place. Fun environment. Good employees. Fee per game a little high. Will go again.
Great family place
Nice looking place but bar service is TERRIBLE!!! I sat at the bar at least 15 mins before the bartender asked if I needed anything. She intentionally stayed at the opposite end of the bar serving the men but took her precious time serving me. I was finally able to ask her for a drink. She went back to the opposite end of the bar and started back talking to the men and never brought my drink. There was one nice female bartender who came over and she got the drink I asked for. My friend arrives and he receives no service. I call the manager over and told him about the situation and he told the bartender to serve the entire side of the bar and then he walked away. She still didn’t serve us so we got up and left. Not all the bartenders are bad, just two. So hopefully you don’t go there on a night when they’re at work. I guess they serve who they want to serve and if they don’t want to serve you then you’re SOL.
Nice size and setup. Staff seem nice. I didnt get to try the food, but it looked good.
Able to order food/drinks right from your bowling station. Food delivered hot and very tasty. Friendly, helpful staff. Little pricy.
Fun place to go to hang out with friends and family.
So much fun!! This place has WONDERFUL food drink options & staff is friendly & always can be found!
Crazy prices for a very standard bowling experience.It cost us $23 to bowl ONE GAME, because Bowlero charges per game AND per person. Id never heard of this, but apparently its a thing. And the cashier conveniently didnt explain this pricing system either (the sign nearby only listed per-game pricing, not the per-person part).So, our single game was $5.39, but because there were two of us bowling we actually paid $5.39 x 2 for that game. Plus our shoes, $4.44 per person. Grand total? $23+ for 25 minutes of bowling.Still confused? Heres what it would look like if you and three friends went bowling on a boring day of the week (Tuesday) like we did...Game 1: $5.39 x 4 ($21.56)Game 2: $5.39 x 4 ($21.56)Shoes: $4.44 x 4 pairs ($17.76)Pre-tax total: $60.88Yes, you read that right, $60+ to bowl two games on a Tuesday evening. And thats assuming you dont want anything to eat or drink. (This place might as well be a movie theater the way their pricing works.)IN SHORT, SAVE YOUR MONEY; BOWL SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Pros: Food was good, and delivered quickly to the lane. Arcade games were pretty cool.Cons: requested help from multiple staff members to clean up a drink someone spilled because it was getting tracked all over the bowling area, and used the help button on the computer, but it took over 15 minutes. Security was no where to be seen in the parking lot where loitering was still an issue. The bartenders dont work the bar, and just stay by the cash register where people had to fight to order drinks.
It was a lot of fun but very pricey!! It was almost 80.00 for a family of 4 to bowl 2 games. Sodas are 4.00 a piece but you you get free refills. Staff was friendly and helpful but I dont think we will be returning due to the prices.
Great and Fun! I really enjoyed friendly People Great service and clean ! Service at Front counter was nice and food was Bangin!! Wings Beer and Burgers and Nice Folks !!
Great atmosphere and very beautifully well done. Prices for each individual playing the same game its price per person per game. So if everyone plays one set its each person per that game. It can be expensive as well as the arcade. Thats the only thing that makes it rough.
Unlike any bowling alley Ive ever been to. It has games like a Dave & Busters or a Chucky Cheese, an area for pool and two long rows of bowling lanes with a bar in the middle and there are big screen TVs on every lane. Its beautifully decorated and I almost forgot you can order your food from a computer at your lane. Friendly and knowledgeable staff are plentiful. Ill definitely be back!
Ive literally been told that its full and we have to wait several times now, as I sit here Monday May 6 for over an hour now I have watched 7 different lanes say game over since I sat at the bar and I reiterate I have been waiting an hour, this is beyond ridiculous and only going to be a downfall for this place and then I asked the people nicely at the front if they knew anything only to be told nobody informed them that they left so they were unaware the lane said game over, wow! Go walk around and look, not very difficult
