Fun and enjoyable night. Great customer service and good food and drinks. Will definitely be back soon!

We celebrated a 15th birthday here recently. Initially, I tried to call and email them. I had a few questions that I needed answered which the website couldn't provide. That resulted with no response so I was a bit hesitant. In the end, we were pressed for time so I booked online. Booking for a party of 12 and choosing the food was pretty straightforward. A week later and it's time for the birthday party. Again, I never got a response back from them other than the usual email confirmation of my event time and type. We arrive 15mins before our event and check in. They introduce us to Imane (forgive me if I misspelled it) as our coordinator. She was so nice and so friendly that I totally forgot about the skeptism that I had. She explained to us what to expect as far as bowling time, food and beverages and the arcade. She also introduced us to Efrem (again, I apologize if I misspelled it), one of the managers. We had a great conversation with him about everything. He made sure that we have everything we needed. As for the presentation.. it was more than what I expected. Chicken tenders, pizza, fries and funnel cake fries were pretty standard fare.. and 4 choices of beverages too! But they were presented so well and kept warm in chafing dishes. They had our boy's name in lights and had a full size bowling pin (to be signed) as a present for him! Great touch. Imane checked on us regularly to make sure we're not running out of anything.. and we didn't. The only thing we added were chicken wings and they were excellent as well. Overall we had an excellent experience. My initial skeptism was replaced with satisfaction. I think that we had a good value for what we paid. We all had a great time bowling and the kids enjoyed the arcade. It was a successful 15th Birthday party with much thanks to Imane, Efrem, and all the staff who made it happen. read more

Lucky Strike Alameda - They did well on the presentation. Everyone had a great time. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Alameda, California

I have never made it to a Lucky Strike before! Fabulously, a pal alerted me to the Alameda launch party!! This space had previously been s bowling alley. No doubt it was an easy conversion. Everyone and their kids were here! I'd like to see what it is like in the evenings. Clearly there has got to be a different vibe after 9pm. Please check their schedule. There are sales on lanes on different nights. There appear to be other specials, too! read more

This bowling alley is right smack in the middle between South Shore Center and Alameda Beach. There's plenty of parking, and when we came in at 11am on a Saturday, plenty of open lanes. We used a Groupon to pay for our 2 hours of games and shoe rentals. When our group worked up an appetite, ordering a pizza from the comfort of our lane without having to flag anyone down was great. They've got an expansive arcade and a few claw machines here, complete with a bar and bar food. It's a great place for big group gatherings including birthdays! read more

Came here on a Friday night for a family night out! It was a bit late but plenty of time to play, eat, and bowl. My bf, his daughter, and I were all super excited to come and have some fun! It's our first time here so we didn't know what to expect really. We decided to only play 1 round since it takes a while to just finish 1. I love the food truck they have it's really cool and fun to see. Their food was pretty good and filled me up pretty quickly. While we ate while we played a round of bowling and afterwards we went to play at the arcade. We took pictures at the photo booth like we always do! It's kind of our thing to always take a picture at the Photo Booth just to look back at the past and remember the good old times. As we grow older and cherish our lil moments together as a lil family of ours. Definitely will be coming back to come and bowl! read more

My daughter's birthday fell on a Wednesday so we came here for the half off arcade deal and it was just perfect. They also had a deal on pizzas and pitchers so everything was a win-win! Kids had a blast and so did the adults. read more

Amazing Experience, great customer service, the manager accommodate my needs very happy! It's a great place to have family time!

Came here on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised. The facility is clean and the staffs were attentive and helpful. The arcade is well sized with lots of options although I do wish there were more picks for little kids. My toddler needed my assistance to pick him up and participate in most of them so I would say the arcade is definitely more for taller kids beyond age 5-6 years old. The bowling pricing is also very reasonable with lots of deals to choose from. We were able to capitalize on the unlimited bowling and shoe rental for $18.99 per person from 11am to close! This is our first visit so I wasn't sure what to expect but our family had an amazing time. Will definitely be returning! read more

We visited Lucky Strike in Alameda during Thanksgiving break on a weekday with seven children, and our experience was honestly exceptional from start to finish. Taking a large group of kids anywhere can be stressful, but the staff here made everything incredibly smooth and enjoyable. Everyone we interacted with was patient, friendly, and willing to help, which made a huge difference for us. I want to give a special shout-out to the manager, Rashad, who went above and beyond. He was extremely approachable and took the time to walk us through all the weekly deals, different play options, and even gave honest recommendations about how long we should book the lanes for. He also suggested trying out the arcade games, which turned out to be a great call -- the kids were obsessed and had the funnest time playing and celebrating the start of their holiday break with all their cousins. Another thing that really stood out to us was how clean and well-maintained the entire facility was. I've been to many bowling alleys over the years, and this one is hands down the biggest, most spacious, and cleanest I've ever been to. The atmosphere felt lively but still organized, and everything from the lanes to the seating area to the arcade section looked cared for. Overall, we had an amazing experience and left with happy, tired kids -- which is every adult's goal! We will definitely be returning, and I highly recommend Lucky Strike Alameda to anyone looking for a fun, family-friendly outing. read more

Had a birthday party for my five year old at Lucky Strike today. Somehow I managed to book it on the wrong day but the manager, Efrem, saved the day and made it work. Everyone at Lucky Strike was helpful and our guests had a great time. read more

I've been coming for league nights for a while now and love this bowling alley. All the employees are always friendly and very helpful. I gotta give a shoutout to the bartender Sam. Even on a busy night he's always got things under control and is always super friendly. If you're looking for a fun time this is the spot! read more

Overall, an amazing experience and accommodation for a family night out honoring my mother-in-law birthday. Thank you Lucky Strike!

Sylvia was a great help and our experience great and we will most definitely be back again.

Amazing energy and wonderful people. Family friendly. Perfect for a family Sunday out.

I've been going to Alameda Bowl for years. My family has been going for generations. I mean way back when it was 24 hours..., there was even a time it had day care. It's turned over many many times. It gotten nicer but pricey as with everything. This a shot out to bartender sam he's been holding that place down for like half decade through all the craziness the good and the bad. He's a real one. Pro tip they be carding everyone. read more

We brought seven kids to the bowling alley/arcade for some cousin-time fun during Thanksgiving break, and it honestly couldn't have gone better. Even coming in the middle of the day, everything felt organized, welcoming, and easy. Rashad was absolutely amazing--friendly, patient, and on top of everything we needed. You don't always get customer service like that, and it made a huge difference in how smoothly our visit went. The kids had an absolute blast between the bowling and arcade games, and the food was surprisingly good--perfect for keeping everyone happy and fueled. The whole place has a relaxed, family-friendly vibe that makes it super easy to enjoy yourself. Overall, it's a great spot for families. Our crew had so much fun, and we'll definitely be back! read more

This bowling alley is amazing, so clean and efficient! The manager Sylvia was super accommodating and helpful. We got in without much of a wait either, definitely recommend! read more

First of all, Lucky Strike--formerly known as Bowlero--is always a whole vibe! The staff is consistently kind, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Their hospitality truly stands out. And let's talk about the chicken wings! YUM. Fried to perfection. My go-to flavor is the Asian Spicy (chef's kiss), and the fries never disappoint. All in all, it's become one of my family's favorite spots for entertainment, fellowship, and a delicious meal. read more

The atmosphere was fun and exciting. The place looked great kids loved the arcade. We had fun bowling.

Love this bowling alley, the lanes, the bar were all wonderful. We had such a great experience at Lucky Strike in Alameda especially thanks to the amazing bartender, Sam! He was super friendly, fast, and really made us feel welcome. You can tell he cares about his job and the customers. He had great energy, great conversation, and made some fantastic drinks. It definitely made our night more fun. If you're visiting Lucky Strike, make sure to stop by the bar because he's the best! Highly recommend! read more

Great service with Bartender Sam. Best Old Fashioned I've had... Quick, drinks are tasty! Easy to get the pool table, the front desk was quick. Jayden was really helpful, gave us all the price details with what we needed. My kids enjoyed the games a lot. Will be back again for sure. read more

This place has great customer service! The staff is friendly, helpful, and made our visit smooth and enjoyable.

10 out of 10 experience! Great music, great food, and great drinks! And the greatest part was Rashad helping us with our services and making sure that our group was accommodated appropriately! If you are new to Alameda County, definitely come here to enjoy -- you won't regret it! read more

Had a great time yesterday afternoon! The front desk was quick with our lanes and so polite! We indulged in a few cocktails at the bar and the bartender Lorenzo was also kind and polite! Even cracked a few jokes. Overall a 10/10 would return soon! read more

Customer service was outstanding!!! The guys at the front desk were very helpful and accommodated my large group of about 30 of us! I would highly recommend this bowling alley! read more

Their service is really excellent, booked a lane and they happily accommodated our move to a quieter lane as we were in the middle of two birthday partners. read more

We came here to celebrate my auntie's heavenly birthday. Front desk+ food service was truly amazing and top tier customer service for my family and I. The reason I gave it a two star simply because of the bartender Sam. We were a larger party ordering 35+ drinks and every time we went for a round we all talked about how we didn't like Sam's attitude and how he could be a little friendlier. Being a bar tender is supposed to be fun and you're lightening up the mood but that was the total opposite. We found ourselves being overly nice trying to kill him with kindness and he still had the same demeanor like he didn't want to be there. This would've been a 5 star review had we not encountered him. Thank you to all other staff for being so accommodating and helpful to our party. read more

We're here celebrating my aunts heavenly birthday! The front plus food service was amazing, friendly and respectful staff and quick business! Very professional, highly recommended if your looking for a fun family spot with kids. Sam the bartender however was not a people person. We had a huge party taking 5 lanes and we ordered 35+ drink through the night and every time someone came back from getting a drink we all discussed how unfriendly he was to us all. He definitely didn't seem like he wanted to be there or appreciate the fact that we were going multiple times to the bar tipping each time. We were discouraged from getting drinks after the 5th time of getting the same unfriendly service from him and like I said we had 35+ drinks to start in our party 90% of them being 21+ drinking. We had a good time, but Sam has to go. Get a friendly bartender who loves doing what they do. read more

Daniel has great customer service . Lucky strike Alameda is the best 5 stars the food was amazing lanes were great too . I highly recommend Alameda lucky strikes read more

The Good, clean bowling Alley, good food and arcades, BUT the price of a game blew my socks off, I see reports of 2-4 people renting a Lane for an hour for a hundred or hundreds of dollars, back in my 80's league heyday I would practice all over the bay area for $1.50 a game with serious bowlers, Saturday Morning ABC Bowling finals were on TV,we'd watch the Greats clash for 1st place then meet at a bowling alley, i had a 190 average, those days like everything else are Gone. read more
