    Time to bowl!
    Kelley K.

    What a great time we had! We all look forward to going back soon. What a wonderful way to spend a couple of hours! Look for their groupon &/or their weekend special pricing! We all highly recommend it!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    They did well on the presentation. Everyone had a great time.

    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.

    It's so clean in here!

    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.

    See all

It can get busy at the tables and you might have to wait for one to be free. I also don't remember how much it was per game (sorry!) This time when visiting back home in Alameda we decided to play mini golf! The pricing is as follows (as of August 2026): - $16 - Adults (age 18-64) - $13 - Youth (age 0-17) (Age 0-4 is free when playing with a paid adult) - $13 - Seniors (age 65+) You pay at the front and then there's a ball machine near the entrance where you pull the handle of the color ball you want and it comes down the cool metal wire runway. The lady at the front wasn't super helpful and we kinda wandered around looking for where to get the balls, but once we asked she pointed out where we could get them. There are a standard 19 holes on this course and each one is a cool little tidbit about the Bay Area! It was cool seeing local landmarks and the different challenges for each hole. I was terrible was had a fantastic time playing. My boyfriend on the very last hole, got a hole-in-one which triggers an alarm and you get a free round a mini golf voucher that expires 3 months afterwards! Our very first date was playing mini golf so if we are ever visiting again I'd love to make it a tradition! ---- Overall: a great place for mini golf, super cute local landmarks at each hole, challenging, creative, and very fun!

They probably get people trying to take advantage of them bringing larger groups than expected or whatever. It was golf then lunch then arcade and they were a little flexible with the end time for cake so that we could get maximum arcade! The Chicken fingers and fries were great. They could up their game with the pizza a bit, but haha, the kids seemed happy, and everything in the world doesn't need to be gourmet. Good beers on tap for the parents. Felt a little gross drinking them out of a plastic soda cup, but I digress... Price was good for the value we got! It wasn't cheap, but still pretty reasonable when you factor in the unlimited arcade. One of the staff was super excited to about one of my kid's gift--the Remote Control Skibidi Toilet! Thanks y'all for a fun and low stress party.

Everything is priced very fairly and competitive with mainstream retailers, online platforms, and even other retro game shops. They do it all here: retro and new video games, consoles, trading cards, plushies, accessories, and more. I feel truly lucky to have found this spot. It's officially my new go-to for anything gaming-related, whether I need something ASAP, want to get a game disc resurfaced, or just want to pop in and see what's new. Their backroom looks like it's bursting with even more treasures and I'm excited to see how they grow over time. I wish San Francisco had more places like this because the city is really lacking when it comes to true video game stores. We don't even have a Gamestop anymore in the heart of the city. The closest video game store is in Stonestown, which can be very inconvenient to get to. They also have some awesome free-to-play arcade setups and welcome people to just hang out inside, which gives the place a really laid-back, community vibe. If you're looking for a specific game or system and they don't have it, they'll even take your number and give you a call once they track it down. Such a thoughtful touch. I especially love their preowned deals like the buy two, get one free promo for games priced $11.99 or less. I can't wait to come back for my next haul.

When buying online there's a processing fee of $1.75 as of August 31, 2026, so if you have the chance I'd buy it in person at the movie theater ticket office. The historic theater is one of the most nostalgic things I love about Alameda, the high ceilings and the atmosphere is amazing especially with a full theater. The regular seats are getting pretty worn down at this point, so I'd pick one of the closer, newer, and more comfy seats for a little bit more money. ---- Notes: - there's a paid parking structure and metered parking, there is some residential parking a few blocks away as well - the theater isn't overly loud which I love, and you don't get your eardrums blown out - you can order from the cinema grill but only when they're open so it's not available for all theater showings unfortunately - the typical theater food isn't super great tho and the prices are expensive as usual - the personal pizza was tiny and like $10 ---- Overall: the shining jewel of Alameda, at night the neon lights are so beautiful and the historic theater is a must if you ever visit Alameda

I asked *multiple* times if I could be the one to handle the cupcakes and set them up because I did not want anyone else to mess with them and handle them without care. The staff kept saying that they had to be the ones to handle it. I reiterated several times I wanted them to be careful with them. I had spent all night making them! We get into the party room when it was finally available and of course they had turned over the cupcakes. No apology was given and they even tried to tell me that the cupcakes were like that when they got to them. Um, absolutely not. In the photo I'm attaching there's, three layers of cupcakes, all three layers had cupcakes tipped over. It also seems supremely silly to me that they won't allow any changes to food selection the day of the party but also won't allow you to bring in any food yourself. We also asked for more napkins and one worker gave us a napkin bin and then a minute later another worker came and admonished us saying we shouldn't have that napkin bin. Uh, one of the workers literally handed it to us? What is with the attitude here? The workers act like how you'd expect DMV workers to act. There also was no music that we could really hear in the play rooms and the atmosphere just felt really drab. Especially with things like the air hockey machine being broken. There's really not much help or organization at all. And it's also weird to be pressured to tip like $150 suggested (and going up!) when the staff does barely anything to help. We tipped out of pressure but it left such a sour taste in my mouth. I would not come back here ever to host a party and wouldn't recommend it to anyone either.
