We came here in the afternoon to bowl (Friday) let's just say it took us a while to be able to bowl because they didn't have any open lanes then our lane was broken and we couldn't bowl in that lane. The ambiance is nice and there is even food for purchase and an arcade area. Not happy with how long it took us to bowl and then another issue came up also it was very crowded when we got there. read more

Super cute and fun bowling/arcade/pool. They have different specials and events during the week. Sunday it was $12 per person for shoe and a game. Ordered basic food at the bar which was surprisingly very good! The only down side is I wish they have QR codes at the lane so you didn't have to get up every time to get new drinks/food Shoes I had several holes and our game timed us out before we could even finish -- when I told the manager she said it shouldn't have done that but didn't offer to restart or anything. Apparently kids bowl for free in the summer which will be a nice break from the heat. read more

I meet up with a few friends for a couple of games. There was plenty of seating and a lounge area in the back. Brice was working the concession area. He was super helpful, friendly and answered any questions I had. My order was bacon cheeseburger with fries. This was the best burger I've had in a while. Brioche bun, seasoned patties, crisp bacon, fresh lettuce and tomatoes with crispy fries. This place was very clean, friendly staff I can't wait to go back again. read more

I've never not had fun here. Plain and simple. This is a staple in the neighborhood and has been around for years. I've been in bowling leagues here, had celebrations here and also enjoyed their karaoke nights from time to time. The food is actually really good! Wings and pizza are a favorite for me but I've had some good burgers there. The last time I came here was a for a friend's birthday and we had an absolute blast bowling, eating pizza, drinking and laughing the afternoon away. Can't wait to go back! read more

Aloma Bowl - Bowling Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

We love Aloma Bowl! Every summer my son and I participate in the kids bowl free all summer program and Aloma is constantly offering deals for free rounds for kids. We come here so often we even bought bowling shoes from the shop inside to cut down on the cost for as much as we come here. They do many event theme nights. We love to come to karaoke at their bar. They offer great deals at the concession stand. The hot dog combo is a great deal with a pizza and a pitcher of soda while you bowl in your lane. They serve you right there. They also offer birthday parties for a great time with the kids. So much fun here. One check it out! read more

5 Stars for good, old-fashioned fun (and a solid bar!). I recently re-discovered bowling when looking for something to do with a young niece on a rainy Florida summer day. I absolutely did not expect to have as much fun as I did, and I've since been back 4-5 times with friends in the last 2 months. They've done a great job at renovating Aloma Bowl, but keeping the small, old-school bowling alley vibe. They have theme days and have had great Polynesian-themed decor the past few times I've been there. They also have some great week-day deals for parents that have the kids at home during the day. Things I appreciate: - Everything is in great working condition (this has to be said for a bowling alley that has been around for a long time!). - The staff is always so cheerful and friendly! They don't have to be, but we are always greeted with a smile and folks seem happy to be there. - They have a whole bar area where you can sit and watch sports, while enjoying your libations. - The shoes are always clean. Again- this is not always the case elsewhere... Overall, a solid bowling spot and one that provides a really fun couple of hours. read more

I went for the bottomless mimosas and was not disappointed. The bartender did good pours and the drinks were tasty. We bowled for a really great price and the shoes were cheap too. The bathrooms have been renovated. The food is really good; I had a burger and pizza. They also have a really good slushy. Check out their weekly deals on their website. Definitely recommend!! Already planning another bowling day. read more

We got yelled at by their staff over having a water bottle for a 3 year old. When we mentioned this the supervisor said we could get a cup with a lid at an additional charge. Maybe there should be an alternative solution instead of yelling at customers. And the person serving us should go through some sort of retraining for customer service. read more

I try really hard to like the bowling alleys near me, but it's hard. They all have a a whiff of sadness about them. Like hosts of sticky birthdays and overly competitive league games. Sometimes the staff can turn the experience into fun (or bar specials can if nothing else). But this was just a regular sad experience. Overpriced games, shoes, food and drinks. The food was not great, and our order was wrong the first time. *sigh* read more

I have loved this bowling alley since 2017- I remember years and years ago wanting to find my "home base" bowling alley... all were fine, but missing some type of component. Once I found aloma bowl I realized I had found my home base They do have dedicated days to leagues and certain events that may lead to lane closers, so it is always best to call ahead However, the people that work here are the best! Trent (our sever), Simon (our Trivia host), Richard (best manager) , Dominique (the porter) all contribute to the best bowling alley ever!! They have a full service bar along with an area that has themed nights (karaoke, trivia, etc) Also, the bowling pins are not on strings (hard to find now a days) and are also regulated!! I definitely recommend this bowling alley and love it! read more

Went to bowl and paid $53 to bowl for an hour for the lane not to work as the ball kept getting stuck at the end of the lane continuously and not reseting and when we tried to get help got ignored as no one helped. read more

Such a great local bowling alley! Make sure to check their website during the week, they have a variety of bowling leagues and sometimes it takes over the alleys and makes for a long wait time. But normally the wait is not too bad and they have a fun arcade you can hangout in to pass the time. read more

Aloma Bowl - The Captain - Bowling Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Great Lanes - clean and bright - cosmic bowling from midnight to 2 a.m. on Saturdays !!

I was really pleased with the experience and staff at Aloma Bowl. I was surprised just how busy they were when I arrived on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I was told that there was a wait for lanes but that my name would be added to a list and called when ready. So we decided to grab drinks at the bar while waiting and were impressed w the menu selections. We didn't grab any food but enjoyed a variety of drinks-all reasonably priced. After about 45 minutes we were called over loud speaker letting us know our lane was ready. Great pricing options that allow flexibility to choose paying per lane by the hour or paying per individual game. The facilities were clean and the staff was both friendly and helpful. A great spot for hanging with friends or bringing the family. Will definitely return read more

I love this place. It has fast and good quality service and nice staff. The place and shoes were always clean and the lanes were easy to bowl for everyone. Totally recommend! read more

Convenient location, easy parking, and affordable bowling! I've been coming to Aloma Bowl for quite a while but recently hosted a 4yr old bday party here. The process was extremely easy and it worked out great. They provided cups, plates, napkins, pizzas, and drinks for all the kids. They also reserved 4 lanes for us and each kid received a play card for using in the arcade area. The kids all had a great time with the option to use the bumpers and/or the bowling ball ramp. They also really enjoyed the arcade area that had many different games to choose from. Our server Michael was very friendly and attentive and made things easy on us while trying to babysit so many kids. The pizza and appetizers we ordered were great, and there were pitchers of beer available for the adults. If you're looking for a place to host a party, or just to go out bowling, Aloma Bowl is a great option! read more

Aloma Bowl - Entrance - Bowling Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I'll start with the staff. Everyone was super nice and easy going. Awesome group of people! The prices are pretty cheap too. You can pay by the game or by the hour. Very affordable. I paid under $20 for 3 games and shoes over 3 hours (we did a lot of hanging out). We got the sampler platter and an order of wings. Really good! Exactly what you expect for a place like this. Prices for food and beer were all affordable. The lanes are a bit short. They need another 2 feet at the start of the wood. Everyone in my group noticed it. So I'd you are a 4-5 stepper you're going to feel cramped. But the lanes were all nice and well maintained. I'll call this place a modern old school bowling alley! The place was modernized a long time ago with touch screens and monitors. Oh and the couches are really nice and comfy! But it's clear that it needs another overhaul. The touch screen we had was messed up. The videos looked like they were from the 80s. Overall it's a working persons place. Nothing fancy and won't break the bank like some of the fancy places. read more

Great place for a party or work get together.The food is always fresh hot and flavorful. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly. The prices for the party are more than fair read more

Boring music on weekend nights. Good bowling lanes, but expensive prices and dull vibe inside. It used to be a lot of fun.

We brought the family in for a Sunday early afternoon bowl and snagged one of the last lanes. The lanes have been updated and look great. Everything was enjoyable. Bathrooms could use an extra clean, but do you really go to the bowling alley with high bathroom expectations? Even using a promotion they were running, it cost close to $100 to have our three preschoolers and my husband and I bowl two games with shoe rentals. We might wait til our kids can make it all the way down the lane before visiting with the whole family again. read more

If there's a waitlist, don't bother going. Call ahead and ask. Today we called and knew there was a list, and when we got there Kelsey (worker) said it was a 20-25 min. wait. We were on a time crunch because we had a dinner to go to but I put my name down and about 40 min later, we walked out after not hearing anything. I said to take my name off and Kelsey said that our lane was ready: why would you make us wait double the time you told us if our lane was ready? Also people that were just walking in were getting their shoes and lanes immediately. Terrible service and if you have a a bowling ball you own, don't bring it. The ball returns will scratch the Hell out of your ball and leave scuff marks as well. I went to Boardwalk Bowl and the pro their looked at my ball and was like "what'd you do? Roll it in a parking lot?" To summarize, don't waste your time. Too small of a bowling alley and very unprofessional. Also after looking at other reviews, I bet the owner won't even bother responding or apologizing for such poor service; only responds to the "good" reviews. read more

In my opinion, this is the best bowling alley in town. It may not be the larger at or fanciest, but it captures the traditional bowling experience. I'm not a regular bowler, but I gone now and again. I've never had any issues with machines here (other than an occasional typical ball getting stuck) The alley had a good snack bar and also a bar. There is hightop seating behind the lane area. The seating in the lane is very much like a comfy couch; not too comfy though :) the area is really ideal for bowling.....it is clear that the owners put a lot of thought into making a good bowler experience. Bottom line: go bowl! read more

I went here last night (Saturday) after not having been there in several years. The place has improved a lot. I honestly have no complaints. They are handling social distancing very well and taking good precautions and safety measures. The touchscreens on the lanes are also so much easier for customers to use and enter names. We called ahead of time, knowing that it was a Saturday and we are still in the middle of a pandemic. Unfortunately, don't take same day reservations but they were very informative as to what times are a little more open and available. We called again before heading over to make sure we would get a lane and they were very nice about it. Once we got there, we were immediately greeted and only had to wait about 20 min for a lane. The wait went by fast and we were quickly given shoes & shown to our lane. The manager, Richard, was very nice, patient, and professional. He made us feel safe and comfortable to be there. He also helped us out with everything we needed even though the place was packed and very busy. The waiter we got for food/beverages was also patient and kept making sure we had everything we needed. He was quick and consistent throughout the entire night. The food and drinks were really good! I thought it was really cool how people get access to the menu. Each table that comes with the lane has a little scan code that anyone with a phone can scan with the camera and it opens the menu instantly. I think that is such a smart idea since it's eco-friendly and prevents germs being passed down from hand-held menus. We ordered the sampler platter, which came with crispy cheese curds, chicken tenders, cheeseburger sliders, and fries, along with 2 personal pizzas, pepperoni and the Bronx bomber (marinara, mozzarella, bacon, pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, and grilled peppers). It was all so good and perfect portions. The platter was shared between 4 people, which was perfect. And the personal pizzas were filling enough for one person each or to share. For drinks we ordered 3 pitchers of Budweiser, a couple angry orchard, and 8 lemon drop shooters. All tasted really good and the lemon drops were perfectly made. They also have a fun arcade with tons of machines and games to play incase you get tired of bowling, which I did after several rounds. It helps keep customers entertained when other members of their party want to keep bowling. All in all, very good experience. The employees are very attentive whether it's at the front getting shoes and lanes, waiters getting food and/or drinks, and those who keep an eye out on the lanes to help customers with bowling balls, bumpers, or anything needing help while bowling. They play really good music and turn the lights off around 9pm and turn on colored lights, which makes it even more fun, in my opinion. read more

I had a great time... however I wasn't a huge fan of the display screen showing what they portrayed as a " dumb blonde " dressed in a pink shirt, missing pins, & clumsily walking across the screen, when someone doesn't knock down all the pins. It's 2021. Do better! read more

Who doesn't love bowling with the kids ? Come for an afternoon for some good family fun. Enjoy a burger or a snack at the cafe.

Great place to bowl but their claw machines are rigged. No way I can hit 6 stuffed characters in a row without getting any of them.

I attended a children's birthday party with food and bowling for a girl's 8th birthday. It was one of the best kid's birthday parties that I have been to in a while. The food was delicious, especially the chicken tenders and pizza. Each kid received a full children's meal, and the adults had appetizers. They had plenty of staff assisting with the setup and refills on drinks. At the end of the party, the kids got tokens to play games and claw machines. I wish they had a few more arcade games to choose from. read more

I really like this bowling alley. It may not be one of those newer mega bowling alleys you see around nowadays, but it does it's job well and has affordable pricing, unlike those mega bowling alleys that jack up their pricing to help pay for their ridiculousness, lol. The lanes here are kept up very well. There are nice comfortable couches to sit on instead of those plastic chairs that swing out. There's a bar with good drink prices and sometimes they have good specials. The food isn't too shabby and is pretty cheap. The pricing for bowling here is fairly cheap...there's a different special every day of the week which is nice. You can check their website for all of those. They also have moonlight bowling on Saturdays, where you pay $15.00 and that includes shoes and I believe you play 3 games on 2 lanes with other people and can win money. I play in a league here on Monday nights and it's a lot of fun. Everything is run very smoothly and everyone is very friendly to deal with. You also get a card for being on a league there that gives you discounts, which is a nice perk. read more

The service is slow. Waited over 30mins for 2 lanes when more than half of the lanes were open. The young short girl at the register with glasses was very rude. read more

Went here for my mom's birthday on the 4th, and loved it. We haven't bowled in a while and forgot that Wednesdays are league nights, but this location ends it's league bowling in a reasonable enough time for families to come and have fun. We told them it was mom's birthday, and they hooked us up with a nice lane and 2 free games. The staff was really kind and helpful. This bowling alley is clean, both hygiene wise and in the way of family orientation. After around 10pm they turn out the lights and pull down large projection screens. It's a pretty fun environment, and recommend these lanes for families with guests in any age group. The seating area next to the lanes were more lounges and were super comfy. A great perk to all of the uncomfortable seats I've had to endure at other places. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Aloma bowl! The atmosphere was friendly it was quiet and dark yet it was open and inviting for children. We attended the bowling alley for a birthday party. They helped my friend very quickly they were patient with getting the shoes and helpful with finding balls. We ordered food and the workers behind the counter and the chef in the grilling area were very kind and pleasant very hospitable. Don't expect gourmet meals. It is a bowling alley. Quick finger food soda or pop. They even helped us out with extending our time, working the screens, and adding the bumpers for the babies! I appreciated their friendliness and for this I would return. Extra plus they had clean bathrooms!! read more
