    Very nice and clean bowling alley, was my first thought. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a really nice time. We were here for a friend's birthday its a plus when parties at these type of locations run smooth. As a parent I really like the size of this place. The Bar, arcade, lanes are all just in one spot. (Leftside) I did see two bars one on each side. They we're having an issue with the beer on tap! It was 1pm on a Saturday. Who is drinking already??? Lol anyways bottled and can available... :) and mix drinks. The food was ok. Pizza , wings the regulars and a few other items. I ordered cheese fries. Very basic. They we're OK. They did have these pancakes French fires, with white powdered sugar and syrup. Those were yummy!! Kids had a great time bowling and at the arcade. Earn tickets and there's a machine to redeem prizes. Restrooms in the corner to the right when you walk in.

    I felt safe. Restrooms were clean. Bowling was fun. Glad to see security there. It was packed and then it wasn't. It was an overall fun time. Lots of parking. Lots of food and drink options. Bowling price was pretty pricey. Nevertheless a good time. Staff was quick to serve and with all smiles.

    Lucky strike bowling alleys are always nice, the only issue I had here was the service. We waited 30-40 minutes for a cotton candy lemonade.

    Came here for a birthday and I am so glad that they have more staff. The restrooms are clean and everything is out in a timely manner. Their systems now let you add bumpers for kids on their turns and you don't have to have the bumpers on for your bowling. Great experience, hope they can maintain it.

    Awful customer service!

    Waited for my drink for 40minutes (BTW ITS JUST A FOUNTAIN DRINK!!). Talked to 3 people about my drink and nobody even did anything. I asked for a refund and never heard any single word! NO SORRY OR ANYTHING! This is one of dude that helped, but never SAID ANYTHING! SHAME TO THIS PLACE! It's a nice place, but the workers are for sure GETTO!

    Overall the place was pretty good it has a nice vibe with all the lights. But for one drink which was the cotton candy lemonade it took about 30 minutes I feel like they could do better. Also they were rushing us out. But the lemonade was pretty good would recommend it! (just not the wait for it)

    The decorations on a simple family game night was a nice touch!

    We booked online for a same day 2 hour game for a party of 6 at the Torrance location. It was an easy process. Check in was pretty easy as well - just gave my name and soon enough we were being handed our shoes and our lane. We had a couple of staff come to our lane to help with our food and drink order. Both were served in no time. We ordered the pizza and margarita pitcher combo, the Alley Sampler and another pitcher of beer. Food was good and served hot. They even added cute decoration to our lane table just because. Sometime during the game, the balls started getting stuck in the back of the pins but as soon as staff noticed, they quickly sent a technician to fix it. The technician even came to ask us if our scores got messed up. I also noticed that there were a lot of staff that night who were making sure that lanes are clean and people were being helped. After bowling, we headed for the arcade where we got to play a few of the games. The game machines were all working fine and the arcade area is clean as well. It was a last minute family game night decision that turned out to be really fun! Thanks Lucky Strike Torrance team!!

    See all

    Are the pins on strings? I believe they are at the Mar Vista location so checking here. Thanks!

    No, I don't believe they are on strings. You might want to call them to be sure. Have fun and best of luck.

    The Clawcade

    Cute claw arcade in Torrance with a decent number of machines, friendly staff and clean setup. 1…read moretoken per game on the larger machines but two plays per token on the smaller ones. Very cute selection of plushies and trade ups are possible but for the medium/large stuffies only. I've become somewhat of a regular of these arcades as they've been popping up in SoCal, and have become somewhat good at figuring out what helps for machines. Weight distribution matters and claw strength! I found that the small machines were much easier to win prizes (maybe by intention) and the larger machines had such cute prizes but loose grip strength in the claw making it harder to win the bigger, good prizes. So all of a sudden your tokens start vanishing quickly. I had 50 token credits and ended up with two medium sized plushies and 6 small items, which for me is on the smaller end of a haul. Still had fun but other claw arcades may give you a better win rate. Parking is plentiful, in the same lot as a Dollar Tree and several other stores.

    I love this place! I usually get $60 for 75 tokens and every machine is 1 token. Thats such a good…read moredeal because the machines aren't rigged. If they are they are doing a good job letting people win most of the time. I think there were a few machines at time I had to try 8 times and gave up because I couldn't pick up the plushie. But usually one token I get one plushie. This place is absolutely addictive but I like it over other places because you can upgrade your plushies for bigger ones at the front desk. It's such a nice treat because if we have a bunch of little ones we don't want, and a big one we do like better, it's worth it. I leave with at least one big plushie that I exchange for 8 medium plushies, and a few more medium plushies. Total I take home each trip 1 big plushie, and 3-6 medium to little plushies. Other claw machine places I feel cheated because you either have to put a bunch of coins in to play once, or the plushies aren't easy to grab. This place is not only affordable, but you put one coin for each machine for one play. It's really fair and wants you to win. The cherry on top is the plushie upgrade exchange after you're done playing. I come here at least once a month because it's really fun

    Review #966 2026-032…read more This used to be AMF Bowling & was later acquired via merger by Strike Holdings LLC (dba Bowlmor Lanes), & rebranded as Bowlero in 2017. Since our last visit over the summer, they're now defunct & again renamed to Lucky Strike in 2025. Whew! Bowlero is actually closer to home than the defunct Gable House Bowl, & the very last bowling alley in Torrance after the demise of Palos Verdes Bowl prior to GHB. I went through a phase of bowling at least once per month in my YA years & recently started up again after having kids due to bowling birthday parties. I miss bowling... I bowled for the 1st time when I was teen & can even remember my 1st score of 77. I didn't bowl much, but I'm usually in the mid-range of 150 or thereabouts & have scored a few turkeys in my lifetime. At one point, I had planned to purchase bowling shoes so that I'm not using the public ones since I hung out with friends that either like to bowl or shoot pool. We were invited to a teen's 15th b-day at Bowlero & the space is huge! It has a mini arcade, bar, pool tables, & 40 bowling lanes that's equipped with lounge seats, blacklights, & HD screens that played movies, music videos, & sports. My daughter had a good ol' time with the birthday girl & their friends, most were from her Color Guard team. Both lanes seem to malfunction frequently enough that they didn't get a full 2 hours; the girls didn't seem that into bowling so it was fine. They were served pizza, chips & salsa with fountain drinks. I only wished they were either served before or after bowling to clean their hands since none of them thought to wash their hands between frames. Yikes! \(`0´)/ None could really bowl & scoring 50+ points was an accomplishment with a couple scoring 100+; the random strikes helped in between the gutters. After a couple of rounds, the girls hung out at the arcade; it's on the smaller side with some games that offer tickets that can exchanged at the automated prize hub. I thought Bowlero would be a fun place to hold my 15 YO's birthday celebration the following month because there's so much downtime for her friends to chitchat & hangout. And I happened to find a really great Groupon Deal: $84 for 2 hours of bowling + shoes rental for 6... not sure of the normal rate, but this is $7/hour with shoe rental! I kept it small to help H build relationships with her friends. It's been only a month, & Bowlero is still riddled with technical issues that we spent more time waiting for the tech to fix the problems than bowling. Even with a lane switch didn't do much to fix the frequent downtime. I even requested to be closer to the center of the bowling alley, near the front desk due to the far left lanes' malfunctions. Again, scoring 50+ points was a real accomplishment with one g/f hitting 100+ in the 1st round. At the 2nd go, H had the highest score of 81. I'm not sure when is prime time but the parking lot was half-full at each visit & it was quite busy inside with half the alley in bowling action. Bowlero is a chill place for a family-friendly bowling game or two... if only the technical issues doesn't mar the experience.

    Great bowling place!…read more The drinks and food are a bit pricey but we hardly come here so we decided to split the cost. The service is good! The food is good! The place gets packed around 8:30 pm so come around 7:30 if you want to get a lane. And come with a group so that it's cheaper bc it was just me and friend and we played good but we finished so quick. We then went to the bar to have drinks and the bartender Esme made our night bc she was so attentive and quick and helpful with our drinks. Kudos to Esmeralda for being the best bartender! Forgot to take photos of our drinks but they were good!
