I stopped by Cal Bowl and spent some time in the bar area. I actually left with one very positive…read moretakeaway: this place made me want to start bowling! So there is definitely something about the atmosphere and the idea of the place that caught my attention. However, the condition and cleanliness of the restrooms really took away from the experience. I checked the restrooms inside the bar area and also the restrooms on the other side of the facility, and unfortunately, both needed significant attention. I noticed cracked flooring, cracked walls, deteriorated hinges and fixtures, and a hand dryer that looked like it had seen better days. The overall cleanliness was also not where I would expect it to be. Some of these are relatively small maintenance issues that, when added together, make a big difference. A restroom doesn't have to be fancy, but it should feel clean, maintained, and comfortable enough that customers don't hesitate to touch the faucet or use the facilities. The good news is that these are fixable things. A little maintenance, a good deep cleaning, and some attention to the details could make a noticeable difference. So, Cal Bowl, I'm actually giving you credit for inspiring me to want to bowl. But when it comes to the restroom experience, Maggie says: this needs some attention. I'm not writing this to be negative or disrespectful. Sometimes a business simply needs someone to point out what customers are seeing. Hopefully, this is helpful--and hopefully the next time I visit, I see some improvements.

Came here last minute to celebrate a birthday, and it actually worked out really well. I was able…read moreto put myself on the waitlist from home and reserve two lanes together. The wait was about an hour and a half, but since I called ahead, it didn't feel long at all by the time I got there. I did end up arriving about 15 minutes late, but after calling to let them know I was on the way, they were nice enough to still hold our lanes for us -- which I really appreciated. Despite some of the other reviews I've seen about service, I personally had a great experience. Our server was super helpful and everything we ordered came out in a timely manner. The only downside was the restrooms, which were a little dirty and could definitely use more upkeep. That was really the only thing that stood out in a negative way. We played two games and had a lot of fun, but I will say... bowling is definitely more expensive than I remember Overall, a fun spot for a last-minute celebration and I'd come back again!

Instant regret! Service was HORRIBLE!!!

I was worried they may not be able to accommodate, but they were happy to take us. We had a lot of first time bowlers (kids and adults alike), and they had lots of questions, requests, etc. Again, the staff handled it like pros. Their snack bar was well stocked, and they have a handful of arcade machines. The place is modern and clean, from the floors to the restrooms, and there's seating in the rear with a pool table and a room for birthday parties and such. On the outside it appears quite small, but they did a good job maximizing the space. More importantly though, their staff were friendly and handled our group like they do this regularly - friendly and knowledgable. We will certainly be returning in the future, and I hope you do as well. :)

We were able to get five lanes for two hours access to their both their pool tables and their hockey table and we were able to bring some outside food in to host in a little area in the back. I always seem to forget that we had a bowling alley down the street from us. It is an excellent place. If you just wanted to kill some time and I think the rates are quite reasonable, especially since the rentals are included. The services as good as can be and it's always kept clean. I appreciate this place!

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!

However, most employees were cleaning in some way which was a good sign. It did feel a little more fresh and clean at this location than other ones. The entrance was interesting because I'm used to just entering the doors and immediately being inside the arcade, but you have to enter through the dilapidated Lakewood Center mall first, and then take escalators up to Round1. It's also a little hectic coming here, because it's right next to Costco. There were an adequate amount of machines, but it definitely seemed smaller than the other locations I visited in LA. However, the skill games and payout rates were very reasonable and fair, and I made out quite well! I won my first Getter Spin game here because the speed was pretty good. You do have to cherry pick a bit, as some of the popular or newer prizes were behind cheese wheels.

There is not one party in these "reserved" For large walk ins or parties. I said my child needs accommodations which is why I'm requesting that. I asked even if I make an open table reservation can I get sat. He proceeds to say. So I said no thanks and walk away. The last time this happened the manner did not care about either. You should do better and have better policies especially when you clearly don't have ANYONE sitting in the dining room and could easily accomadate guests instead of turning people away.

The Asian lady that usually takes the order is wonderful. The older Latino gentleman is also great. Today, I ate here and there seems to be a new guy. Bigger, taller guy, with long hair that was in a tiny bun, and has a goatee. He wasn't the best. He took my order without taking any notes. Initially, I was kind of impressed as he just confidently nodded as I took my order. My main plate came, but the other things that I ordered didn't. I waited sound 5 mins to see if the kitchen was just backed up. So I asked him again, he said ok. I waited again and it still didn't come. He seemed to have been distracted with other tables and talking to everyone . So, I ended up asking the older Latino guy for it and the rest of my orders came out quickly. Then came to paying the bill and asking for a box and a bag. The exact same thing! I asked him a second time for the box and a bag. It never came. At one point, he even sat down on a seat with a person that seemed to be a buddy of his. All this while I was patiently waiting for the things I need so I can get back to work. That was a little frustrating. So, again, I reserved to asking the Latino older man, and he gave it to me right away. Give the older man a raise and a promotion. I hope the Asian lady didn't stop working here. She was great. Can't say the same thing about this new guy that I've never seen before.

Bartender provided a recommendation of an ipa local from SD. She provided a sample which is always helpful! Staff were all friendly. Shoe rentals were nice and reasonably priced. Really appreciated the self service water stations with cold water. Con: It was a little bit of a maze trying to find this place. It was in the corner of the parking garage.

All of my guest were super uncomfortable it was embarrassing for me as a host to have everyone come to a party where it is almost 90 degrees inside. To top it off there was about 3 other parties & only ONE party host (employee) to help with all 4 parties. My party started at 4 I had guest who had arrived already & we're all waiting around for the kids game cards. We did not receive our game cards till about 420 bc the party host was super busy helping the other parties, getting anything took forever. Our party ran out of water & I asked for the water jug to be refilled & it took about 20 minutes to have refilled. I felt bad for the party host he was doing the best that he could, super unprofessional on management to not have more staff help with all of the parties they had booked. The employee that was explaining the laser tag rules was super RUDE, he asked do we have any birthdays today my 7 year old raised her hand & said me & the employee rudely goes we know it's your birthday. HOW RUDE! Why even ask that then. I was told this by multiple guests. The restroom disgusting! No soap just hand sanitizer. The laser tag room was even hotter. All of my guest came out dripping sweat that most of them didn't want to do the next round bc of how hot & uncomfortable everyone was. Super disappointing and embarrassing. The whole point of me booking a party was so that my guest would be inside and not hot during this summer heat wave. WOULD NEVER BOOK A PARTY OR COME HERE AGAIN.

You can also order food and drinks to your lane. We ordered the nachos, it wasn't bad, not the best, but good finger food (Tasted like a Dave and Busters nachos). Also ordered a tall beer for $12! Drink prices are around $10-18 depending if you are getting a cocktail or a beer. I would definitely enjoy coming back!
