    Level Up Bowl & Bistro is like no bowling alley I have been to before. It is stunning inside and soft and comfortable. The food is just as good as any fine dinning place you will go to. It is just amazing. It is not cheap, so expect to spend some money, but they have it all, they even have arcade and basketball games. It is great for all ages. Level Up Bowl & Bistro is located in Rolling Hill Estates (a Pricey area) and has boutique bowling, the best dining, and nice people. It is the South Bay's go-to spot for fun. Experience bowling like never before. They have 14 state-of-the-art lanes, immersive Neoverse LED screens, and plush lounge seating. Level Up Bowl & Bistro is the ultimate place to play and while you are there have dinner. Now reserve a lane or you will be crying. It gets crowded. The service is great, from getting your shoes to having a great salad. There is just nothing not to love about this place.

    This was a really fun spot to be in! They have bowling, an arcade, virtual darts, and a pool table. It feels like it fits any type of budget you have for a fun outing. The food was surprisingly good. I was expecting subpar food, since I'm in a bowling alley, but NOPE!! Food is legit. The churro donuts were amazing. The level up sampler is a must! Pretzel Bites? Yum!! Get the Wagyu burger. It's huge! Also, the place is really clean. Shoe rentals looked clean. The lanes are clean. The staff is pretty good at cleaning up after every party. We had the most fun at the virtual darts. You just keep playing until time runs out. There's also different games. Bowling is also really fun. You just need to be careful with your time because when you're having fun, the time goes out quick. I'd recommend you eat at the bistro first and then bowl so you use your time more efficiently. Highly recommend checking this place out. It's adult and kid friendly.

    As a concept, this business is very similar to "Lucky Strike". But the décor is brighter and even more family friendly. When you enter the main door, you will see an arcade in front of you. If you turn to the left, you'll see: a ten lane bowling alley; a dining area; a full bar; a pool table; and two lanes for electronic dart games. There is a sufficient number of screens to watch sports. The selection of beer and wine is more than good; the availability of liquor for highballs and cocktails is basic, but sufficient. The menu selection is slim. I would describe it as finger food and pub grub. But the quality and taste of the stuff is good; and the pricing isn't unreasonable. This is a nice amenity for the community. I hope the community drives sufficient business through to support it.

    Birthday's should with good food, lots of fun and family

    My family has a lot of summer birthdays. Two weeks ago we came to this location and had a great time. So much so that the matriarch of the family asked to celebrate her birthday there just 2 weeks later. Our plan was a little short notice and the party a little more chaotic but the service was still great. Noah was attentive and kept us well fed and hydrated. The Hennything cocktail is my favorite along with the pastrami and brisket sandwich. Scarlett went above and beyond, I just want to say thank you. What a wonderful experience. Keep up the good work.

    Birthday Party review: They're a solid 4. I booked all 4 lanes located in the VIP section for 2 hours which cost roughly $650 before paying for shoes. Add in food, drinks, shoes, and we spent about $1,150 all together. The problem we had was the previous group that had rented 2 lanes (out of 4 VIP lanes) stayed over their time and into our time by a bit. It left no time to set up any decorations for our gathering and we were greeting guests outside the room. The staff did try to work around them but I felt management should have been more proactive by taking charge and informing the other guests to move their cake cutting outside of the area knowing they'd ran out of time. Food was ok. Not bad, not great. Good selection of beers and drinks. Tried their churro donut and it was burnt which was disappointing. Service was very good and their staff for food and bar did a good job of serving our party of about 20. Very friendly. I recommend renting all four lanes if you're having a party in the VIP lanes. It allows you enough space to easily enjoy the room without disturbing other people and you have use of couches and extra tables. The day we went, their AC was out which had some of us sweating as we bowled. The place is clean and new and I wish them the best! Nice to have a sports bar atmosphere in PV along with family fun options like bowling and arcade. Bring the food quality up and it will be a winner.

    This was my second time coming here, and it's by far my favorite place to shoot pool. Right when I walked in, the service was exceptional. I was greeted by the manager Scarlett who was incredibly welcoming, it felt like i've been here a million times. Our bartender, Savannah, made great drinks and was genuinely fun to talk to throughout the night. Lorelei and Gloria were also amazing we had great chats. Overall, It was incredibly clean with great drinks, great service and REALLY great pool tables. 10/10!

    Really good draft beer selection...prices are inline with other places

    We went again for a Father/Daughter National Charity League event yesterday and man, oh, man, I love this place so much and it appears to be really taking off. We all had a great time bowling and the staff is amazing at keeping us happy and the place spotless. Our particular server, Lina, was always friendly and happy to help. We had 3 bowlers in my lane, played 2 rounds of regular games and then 2 rounds of "Monster" something or other where we bowled and created a monster with parts earned by the number of pins knocked down. Sort of like one of those "Top Golf" variations they have over there and a fun switch. This time we did eat the food which was very tasty. I sampled the fried pickles, fried mozzarella, fries, buffalo wings, nachos and pizza. Definitely solid pub/bowling alley fare which fit the bill for a big football day! The buffalo wings were fried perfectly; love that crisp they have down. The pizza wasn't "amazing" but fine enough. The fried items were just as you'd expect/want.The nachos were tasty but I would have preferred beef rather than chicken. I particularly loved that they had the Broncos/Patriots game on the giant screens at the end of every few bowling lanes. I mean, it was PLASTERED across the entire back wall at the end of the lanes. What a great way to bowl and watch the game! I had such a good feeling in Level Up and hope it is a huge success. Apparently they don't have any leagues just yet; maybe they will. But I sure as heck plan to come at least monthly with the family and for an occasional Dudes' Night! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    What? A bowling alley on the hill. I don't even know when they opened. I walked in before they opened one day. There were already other people here, too. More visitors than employees. The place is large and clean. I noticed the rewards room first. There are the bowling lanes in the back to the left, an arcade to the right, and a bistro with bar in the front to the left. The bistro is fairly large, with seating both indoors and outdoors. A gentleman had staked out a table for a birthday party. He was sitting at a table with cake, presents, and balloons. I will need to come when they're open and try to get some bowling in. Parking: Plenty of free mall parking.

    Took the grandkids there a few weeks ago. The bowling was fun. The service was amazing and food DELICIOUS! Can't wait to take them to go again.Then we headed to the arcade and played games for the next hour. Such a great place if you're looking to have some family fun at one location. We will definitely be back again very soon

    Ever since that old bowling alley closed (and for good reason, it was super OLD), we've been missing a space for family fun. Level Up fills that void and then some! I think this place is just a week old. Everything is brand new and works flawlessly. Nice young staff. Helpful and eager. BOWLING - I thought the name bowl and bistro meant it's a fusion food place. Sooo pleasantly surprised the 'bowl' is for bowling! - The floor to ceiling digital background for bowling made this feel more exciting than regular bowling with better visibility than neon bowling. Added a lively kick to the competition. - Cute too that you can take a digital picture of each bowler ARCADE - BRAND NEW. I'll say that again in case it didn't register: No old consoles. No sticky floors or stained carpets. We had tons of fun from zero whining that something wasn't fair because a stuck button didn't work - My boys love driving games and there were cars, motorcycles, etc. - Includes their favorite shoot 'em up game: Jurassic Park! - Old school games like air hockey (Uncle got schooled!), basketball, baseball, dance dance revolution. (My littlest was sweating from all the exercise) - New virtual reality game - Rewards center with a nice lady on hand FULL BAR - There are near 2 dozen beers on tap. Felt like a mini Yardhouse for hubby to enjoy. - Full bar with friendly bartenders who helped me with a festive choice: I enjoyed a smooth Moscow Mule. FOOD - Kid-friendly bar fare like pizza, wings with different dipping sauces, quesadillas, fries, cheesecake. Tasty There was a near floor-to-ceiling digital darts game next to the bar. We will need to try that next time. Bathrooms were pristine. Saw a semi-private party room for birthdays. The footprint is sprawling. They must have tore through a wall to merge a couple of spaces to create something this open. All in all, a great add to the neighborhood. The kids have somewhere to go! (Hubby and I'll be a stone's throw away at the bar)

    My kids and I went to level up for the first time on Wednesday and had the most amazing time. The staff is incredibly friendly, the food was delicious and they had so many fun things for us to do. We played pool. We bowled and played in the arcade. Since Wednesday my kids have asked me at least 10 times when are we going again. We will definitely be going back up there.

    How much is shoe rentals? It doesn't say on the website

    $5.95/person

    Does the lane reservation include bowling shoes?

    For regular lane rentals No. For the party packages yes

    How much is bowling here?

    You can go on their website to book a lane and they will tell you what it costs per hour at the day of the week and time you want to book. Pretty sure it varies somewhat.

    I had business in the same shopping center and decided to drop in for lunch…read more Torrance Tavern is restaurant bar located in a shopping center. Needless to say, there is plenty of parking. The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.

Both dishes were small and came with ranch sauce. Got place to watch the games with friends. Not the place to have a conversation. Happy Hour was Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm and 10pm to closing at midnight. Karaoke night was Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10pm to closing at midnight.

We were thrilled to see a few menu options that were marked as vegan. Bonus points for being affordable! I completely missed their attached parking lot when I arrived and ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood, where there was ample free parking. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full and there was live music occurring on the patio. We opted to sit inside where it was a little less noisy and there was a comfy and cozy booth calling our name. The vibe was great, with fun and eclectic decor. The service was really upbeat and friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We asked him if the espresso martini had dairy in it (which I just discovered that is a thing at some places) and he double checked with the bartender to ensure there wasn't my dairy in it! I ordered that alongside a falafel wrap I must say, both of these worked so well together. The espresso martini was light and refreshing yet still had a bold flavor. The falafel was nice and crispy with a delectable inside and the tahini sauce was so rich and creamy. The meal felt indulgent yet hearty all at the same time. I left feeling so uplifted and relaxed all at the same time. Despite it being on the noisier side, I was still able to hear my friend well and it was such a great place for us to catch up. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

I ordered the pastrami on rye (basically a Reuben) which was good. I wish it had more meat and it was half sliced, half chopped. Theirs seems to be all chopped up and crisped, which gives it a nice texture and almost bacon-y vibe. Messy but good. I had a side salad which was also good. Overall our meal was great and there were TVs visible from anywhere you sat, which is perfect for a sports bar. My big gripe is being charged $1 for pickles to go with a sandwich. Maybe you get more if they put them directly on the sandwich, but they forgot mine so the pickles came in a ramekin. 6 pickle slices for $1.

The food had really good flavor, and I was happy that the wings weren't overcooked. They weren't extra crispy or hard to bite into like they sometimes can be. I usually go to the Carson location, but after this visit, I definitely prefer the Torrance location. The food quality was better, and the service was much better too. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because it took a while to pay the bill. Other than that, everything was a good experience. I'm including a picture of my receipt so others can see the prices. I also recommend signing up for the Buffalo Wild Wings loyalty program--the points add up over time, and you can earn free food, which is a nice bonus. Overall, I'll be coming back to the Torrance location.

    I recently ordered bone-in wings. When my tray arrived, there were no celery or carrots. I asked…read morethe server, and she explained they'd noticed many customers ate the wings but left the veggies untouched. To cut down on food waste, this store now serves the celery and carrots only upon request. I asked whether this was something initiated by this franchise location or a system wide practice, but she wasn't sure. I emailed corporate to find out, but they didn't respond. Reducing food waste seems like a valid reason, but I can't help thinking it's actually more about saving money. And serving wings without the vegetables degrades the presentation. I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but I wanted to share my experience.

With new ownership comes an affiliated new crowd coinciding w/ old crowd. You could cut the tension in the air w/ someone's pocket knife because you just felt at least one person was packing.

Service was disappointing. A customer is a customer, but I noticed new ownership neglected old crowd to tend to her crowd or anything else to keep her "busy." Meanwhile, original bartenders were bending over backwards for everybody. We, in the old crowd, are familiar enough w/ each other for some small talk at the bar while waiting for drinks. They were as confused and shocked as I was about the service. I don't even want to mention what I saw in owner/staff interactions, but I'ma just leave it at sad. It was just sad. I'm not a regular regular, but Southland was the spot for my friends and me when we wanted a night out together for past couple years. Now, we're back to bar-hopping for a new spot because The Alley Bar ain't it. I'd give her benefit-of-the-doubt because she just picked up the place, but benefit would imply I saw an effort in keeping old crowd loyal while inviting new life, too--yeah, no benefit here. R.I.P. Southland, thanks for all the fun.
