When we tried to follow-up after 45 minutes, a big male front desk guy (he had a nose ring and was wearing a cap, 200+ lbs, looked like one of the managers) told us to wait for 45 minutes (more!) to give us two lanes next to each other. When we told him we are ok with the lanes being far apart (not necessarily next to each other), he got angry and replied "Do you understand what I'm saying to you?". He wasn't ready to answer the question of how long it would take if the lanes apart. He was not ready to hear us out and was extremely rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. After reading similar reviews over the last few years, I'm surprised to see this place still has 4.2 rating here. It does not deserve a 1 star. Overall, a terrible experience and will not be going back here.

Especially while bowling league, the inside warms up with you. Thankfully I bring my own cordless fan. For others who don't, wear layers when you come here. Snack bar, bar, and their exceptional staff give a Cheers vibe (aging myself). They're friendly and welcoming without any fake chatter.

I was disappointed with my experience at Earl Anthony's Dublin Bowl. We booked ahead expecting the…read moreprocess to be fairly organized, but when we arrived, there were no lanes available and we were told the wait would be more than two hours. Making a booking in advance did not seem to make much difference. The bowling alley was extremely packed, which made the atmosphere feel crowded and unorganized rather than enjoyable. The biggest issue was the lack of assistance. No one seemed available to explain the delay, help us understand when a lane might open, or offer another solution. I understand that bowling alleys can get busy, especially during popular hours, but a wait of more than two hours after booking ahead was unreasonable. Better communication, more attentive service, and a more reliable booking system would have made a major difference. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet my expectations, and I would hesitate to return during a busy period.

We visited on a Sunday, and it wasn't too crowded, which was nice because the kids had plenty of room to play. They also have party rooms available, and the rooms are a good size for birthday celebrations and group events. My only suggestion is that the food court service could be more attentive. It often seemed like no one was at the counter when assistance was needed. Overall, it was a fun experience, and I'd recommend it for families with young children.

It's very clean and welcoming.

My husband surprised me with a reservation at this location. My whole family drove out from San…read moreJose for brunch and bowling/bocce. He made this reservation the week before and made sure to make it before 3pm so we could do their brunch menu. He confirmed the activities were open during brunch as well. The day of we were running about 10 minutes late from San Jose so I called to confirm it was okay to which the hostess said they had actually stopped brunch early since it was slow. I had called at 2:10pm and brunch was supposed to be done at 3pm. We were still going and decided it wasn't that big of a deal. Once there they told us our table still had the party before us eating so they'd have to make a table somewhere else. So not only did you give a big table away to someone else knowing our reservation was there but you also stopped brunch early without contacting us to tell us our brunch reservation was changing. Ok no big deal... Then the service. The waitress was okay. She didn't smile, didn't know the flavors of drinks, didn't know the specials. We had to ask the gentleman cleaning tables to have her come back so we can get dessert. On top of this, they told us we needed to be done eating and out by 5:15pm but we can't do this if our waitress keeps disappearing and doesn't ever bring our check. When they did come back our card was not in the check folder. When we asked them where it was they said they had to look for it. Suspicious if you ask me. My MIL works at a very fancy Santa Clara restaurant for over 30 years. She has never been so unimpressed that she wanted to speak to the manager. When she did he also seemed like he didn't care, didn't offer any other help and said they were all busy upstairs for a party. Not an excuse. Then tell my husband they don't have reservations for us if you don't workers or space to properly serve us. Will not be back again. 3 stars because the food was good. That's it.

Staff as a whole has been helpful when I've been there, even when they're definitely slammed. Have seen the improvements over the years!

I am so sad. I've been coming here for years and each time i spend over a hundred bucks and always…read moreend up with a few plushies. These past couple times? NOTHING. They are so greedy now. This time around i used my saved up tickets to get a small plush just so i can leave with a prize. Back then, you see everyone holding plushies and walking around. Now, maybe a few lucky winners? They filled a lot of the space with the mini claw machines. Do not play these!! You will not win! The claw strength for most of the machines are zero to none now and they have bumped up the prices for all of the claw machine games. They even force you to pay more for less credits now. Now it's either $120 or $140 ($110 before) and the credits definitely don't last as long anymore. Bad economy i guess. Don't come here if you actually want the prizes After using up 450 credits, i gave up and tried playing one of the marble games, the machine malfunctioned and refused to pay out the tickets. Asked someone to come look, a angry mechanic lady came by and walked around the machine, took a glance and left. I thought they needed to get help or something so i'm just sitting here and waiting for 30 minutes for them to come and try to fix it. Spoiler: they didn't come back to fix it nor come back to give an explanation to us. When i checked back at the reception, they said they sent someone to look at the machine but no one was at the machine(?) I AM LITERALLY SITTING IN FRONT OF THE MACHINE ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Then they sent the same angry mechanic to come back, who gave me a mean glare, opened and tinkered with the machine, couldn't fix anything, and proceeded to walk away without saying a word. Another 15 minutes went by, so i went back to the counter to just ask for my credits back since i don't want to wait anymore. They said they are fixing it and i will get the tickets once they finish fixing the machine. I'm like they aren't even there. But they said they can't give me back my credits -.- Ended up taking an L and just killing off the rest of the card and leaving. It's like they can't afford to let you win It's such a scam Imma just wait until I go back to Japan where it's like a dollar each play and there's actually a chance to win things. Good bye Hayward Round one.

They have a policy about hair length. The policy is that if you have hair below your waist you are…read morenot allowed to ride the go-carts for "safety reasons." But it seems this policy only applies to certain individuals and dare I say possibly only to individuals with a certain skin color. The photo they use as an example of acceptable vs. unacceptable hair length shows a picture of a girl with her hair below her waist. My sister's hair was right above her waist and they denied her the ability to ride the go-carts. She had even arrived to Funworks with her hair in a bun. They made her remove it so check the length. Which like I mentioned before wasn't below her waist This policy seems highly unfair and very discriminating. And to make matters worse, the go-carts are prob the slowest go-carts in the nation. All the fuss about their strict policy to then be disappointed with the 2 mph go-carts. Save yourself the headache, embarrassment (if you have long hair), and money. Go to Boomers instead!

Not like I've been to a lot of bowling alleys but here's some of my key takeaways from this place…read moreand how I'm swayed towards giving them a better review than maybe they deserve. 1) they have a summer pass that gets you 2 free games a day, free shoe rental, $5 worth of arcade credits a day and 10-15% off of food and drinks (non alcoholic). I got the premium and that's around $66 or so. 2) they have a ton of lanes and we have never had to wait. 3) the food, at least the pizza, is pretty decent considering it's a bowling alley. They also have a pizza and pitcher combo (non alcoholic or beer) that's pretty reasonably priced. Now here's some of the downsides: 1) there's been service issues in the past in terms of us ordering and then the kitchen not getting the order. Also some common sense issues. Like they were offering free drinks to summer pass holders and they only gave us 1 drink for free even though there were 2 summer pass holders. It's not that hard to just give us the 2nd drink and not put it in the system as a charge (at least I wouldn't think?). We didn't fight it because we didn't want to be difficult. 2) It seems like 1/3 to 1/2 of the games in the arcade are partially or completely broken and/or out of order. 3) A lot of the balls have like cracks or chunks missing and some of the lanes mess up the pins from time to time. They probably deserve a 3/5 but the summer pass is have to say bumps them up to a 4.

They also have a monthly deal where paying $20 gets you one hour of free golf and a free appetizer! Speaking of the food, I got the Mediterranean plate last time and it was pretty subpar. I liked the pita bread and the hummus, but I hated the other sauces. The veggies weren't cut thin enough, so they were actually pretty annoying to chew at some points. The gameplay itself is fine! It's fun to just hang out and learn a lot from the people around you by checking out their form. The ball machines do malfunction sometimes, which happens. Also, if you're left-handed, you can just ask a staff member to bring you a left-handed club set, which is nice. As for the venue, parking is easy and there is EV charging right out front (though the charging is kind of expensive). There's a cool store in the front, and the vibe is great--there were lots of people hanging out for the FIFA games. Most importantly, the managers here are really nice. We had a couple of mishaps, but they refunded me some money and are very generous with giving out coupons to make things right, so it was all good. Overall, it's not a bad place to kick it with some friends and have some fun.

We purchased the summer pass which was $249 from end of April to beginning of September. The price…read morealso includes reservations. They have a cheaper option too- $199 for the same length of time, but walk ins only, no reservations. The time allotted is 2 hours for up to 6 people. We've been going about once a week and it's so worth it! When you order food or drinks, you also get 10% off for having the summer pass. Our favorite games to play are angry birds and sonic. Service is alright. We get a text when the bay is ready so we go straight there. They recently changed to QR code ordering so we don't really interact with people there (only when food and drinks are being delivered). Overall we have a good time here and still have about a month left of the summer pass. Highly recommend!
