A real old school bowling alley. bowling spirit alive and well here. Lots of people on a Thursday bowling. Seniors are kicking butt and there's families and schools doing their fun thing. Prices are really good. The city gave them an award for their googie architecture. I tried to buy a shirt for the occasion but they ran out-- only xxxl and higher lol. read more

My high school friend and I decided to grab some lunch and catch up after 50 years! I picked this location, not knowing that it was attached to Linbrook bowling alley. This building is very nostalgic and has been designated a historic landmark. Apologies for not taking photos of the bowling alley. My friend and I both chuckled when we entered into the building because both of us were added bowlers back in our high school days. And often times we would grab a hotdog, hamburger, or fries from the diners or snack bars that were part of the bowling alley facility. We sat down and Alex our server promptly handed us menus and two glasses of water. The restaurant was getting a bit crowded as there was a league that was about to start and many other bowlers were coming to grab a quick soda or bite to eat. Alex however was able to manage this crowd and still was able to take our order quickly. We decided on pizza that had sausage, pepperoni, mushroom and bell peppers as our toppings. It took about 15 to 20 minutes for the pizza to arrive, but we were not in a hurry as we were still trying to catch up with one another. I would have to say that this pizza is one of the most delicious that I've had. The crust was not too thin was not too thick, but very crunchy and there were plenty of cheese and toppings and the price was moderate in fact very affordable. By the way, we ordered a medium size pizza which is 12 inches in diameter. In spite of the fact that it's inside a bowling alley facility, it was quiet. Easy for one to have a conversation. Although he has been almost 40 years since I have picked up a bowling ball, I might come back grab a bite to eat here and then head out to the lanes and see if I can manage to hang onto a bowling ball! Definitely worth visiting and highly recommended by me! Bon appétit! read more

Pretty good prices, they have a lot of lanes open, call ahead to find out if they have league games because they might not be open.

I grew up in Anaheim, graduated in 1977. Spent many fun nights here in my youth. My wife and I are considering joining a league. We live closer to Concourse Lanes, but I wanted to take us to Linbrook to see if we would like it and maybe spend more time in my old neighborhood. Just for nostalgia's sake. Well maybe we were there on an off night? (Sunday 5pm) When we walked in leagues were in play. It was busy. The look was, frankly, worn. I was not impressed. As much as this Alley is held in high regard, I expected a much cleaner, less worn look. Very unkept. At best. Maybe invest in new carpeting, fresh paint, clean the floors and paneled walls. That would be a good start. We played for an hour and left. None of us felt good about our time there. Me, the wife and my daughter. To make the matter worse, the ball return damaged my new bowling ball. When I brought it to the front counters' attention - they said sorry, nothing we can do for you unless you are a registered league bowler with Linbrook. Well, I'm not and ... I won't be. Heading back to Concourse much more accommodating there. read more

Came here for the first time with friends and expected a really run down bowling alley but honestly, it just looks dated. It was nostalgic and had a ton of lanes. The bowling alley itself is 4 stars but the bar service and the pizza place really added that extra star to this review. I tried a philly cheese steak (I know, a little risky) and LOVED it. The seasoned fries were also so good. I had a great time. I don't bowl much so I can't comment about the lane or ball quality but overall no complaints. read more

Walked in expecting a simple bowling night and ended up in a retro-charm wonderland. Neon signs, classic pinsetters, and the kind of vintage vibe that makes you nostalgic for mixtapes and VHS tapes -- but with smooth lanes that actually make bowling fun. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, even if your throws are more "gutterball art" than strikes. Staff are friendly, the arcade keeps everyone entertained between frames, and the diner-style food and bar make it easy to refuel without leaving the building. Perfect for a group outing, a date, or just reliving your childhood in neon glory. Even my worst throws felt like part of the experience, and somehow, I left with a big smile, a slightly bruised ego, and plans to come back soon. read more

I don't normally write reviews but when the so called "CEO" of a security company is so quick to pull out is firearm on people to deescalate a situation that is not the type of security I feel safe around. He did not want to give up his name but I hope they move forward with a better security company. A life could have been lost today. read more

Everything! Bowled as a kid and visited as an adult. Nostalgic' and so much fun! Will definitely be back read more

I used to enjoy bowling in a league here, but lately the amount of vaping inside the bowling alley is overwhelming -- it's like walking into a Grateful Dead concert. Outside isn't any better. Two league officials sat there all night watching it happen and said nothing. At one point, my daughter told one of the smokers, "You shouldn't smoke inside," and the person snapped back, "Mind your own business." Later that night, when I went to teach a class, one of my students said I smelled like weed. The next day, HR called me in and required a drug test (which came back negative). When I complained to the manager about the vaping, he just said, "We give them one warning." Seriously? Any other business would ask someone to leave and not return. What is it with people feeling so entitled to force their lifestyle on others? We signed up at another Bowling Alley read more

Love this bowling alley and the people. Enough lanes that you rarely have to wait. The bar staff and the restaurant staff are friendly. It's like one big family read more

I've passed by this place for 10+ years and never stopped by and finally decided to one rainy night. What a flash to the past! This place has an old school vibes but that's what makes it charming. It's all locals and people who really care about bowling. There's a bar inside that does karaoke and the locals take it very seriously lol it's an awesome vibe and great place to hang out! read more

Avoid this place to save yourself from fraud. I was charged $127.25 for a bottled Coors Light and wasn't given a receipt. The transaction showed up on my bank statement three days later. When I called the manager, he told me he would "check" for a transaction of that amount or the $8 beer I was supposed to be charged. I returned on July 25, 2025, to show him the transaction on my phone's Chase app. The manager advised me to dispute the charge with my bank because he had no record of either the $8 or the $127.25 transactions. Chase informed me that I needed a receipt, but I explained that I hadn't received one, as I trust merchants to be honest. Takeaways: Never come here again (there are far more modern bowling establishments than this outdated 70s venue). Always ask for a receipt and try to pay with cash whenever possible, especially when buying alcohol. read more

This bowling alley is a fun place for families. They participate in summer specials. You can buy a pass and come everyday.

The food was outstanding the pizza was just what everyone says. The place look like right out of the 50 read more

This is a very traditional old school bowling alley - which I love and you don't see around much anymore. They even have a diner attached to it if you want a bite to eat. Me and my friends came here on a Saturday midday and it wasn't overly crowded and the prices are by the hour plus shoe rental. They also have a bar but they mostly serve beers and seltzers. Great spot for bowling! read more

One of my current favorite places to bowl several options and places for everyone there wasn't too much people but the ones that were there were super respectful. The owner was super nice and quick with what was asked. Good drinking options and food areas. Was made forever ago and the vibe hasn't changed and I absolutely love the mood of it all. read more

My friend JG and I occasionally meet up for lunch when our schedules align. But this time, she suggested something different: "Let's go bowling!" I was all in, ready to roll some strikes! Bowling Alley (Front) - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=U6nikx9NKSTUQ8YGKwKQsQ&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ We headed to Linkbrook Bowl, an old-school alley with a unique setup. Instead of the usual long rows of lanes, it had two sets on opposite sides of the building. "Genius!" (They have 40 lanes in total.) I really liked the layout. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=KcO4f2yRyUMRZ9cNfpGYKw&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ It was a quiet late afternoon on a weekday, perfect for bowling. The guy at the counter was friendly and got us set up quickly. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=umonPQTrcTVtKwCfM8hKHg&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ JG had already secured our lane when I arrived. Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SzyoIm5LFUaVmTqhX6oz5A&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ Cost - Lane rental: $18/hr Shoe rental: $4 (My friend, JG, had her own shoes and ball.) One hour lane rental with two blowers was just enough for us to play two games. We had a fun time! The lanes were quite oily, making it tricky for the ball to grip. They kept sliding sideways. The selection of bowling balls was limited, but hey, they were the usual house balls you'd expect at a community alley. I grabbed two, one regular and one semi-conventional. JG mentioned the KOPA Room, a bar inside the alley. Apparently, karaoke nights on Fridays and Saturdays are a big hit there.

Came here on a Friday night and had to wait about 30-40 minutes. Price per lane: $37 after 5pm. And shoe rentals were $4.75. For a party of 5, it comes out to $20 per person, which is amazing for the price. We got lane 39, and our group thoroughly enjoyed our time playing. The lanes were oiled well, and the fans were working properly. The only downside is the limited bowling balls. Our group had trouble finding the correct sizes. The fans kept us cool, and we had a fun time. Definitely coming back. read more

Lanes are nice & spacious with newer monitors. Bar service was the highlight...especially when you need "spirits" to lighten the blow. The guys I was playing with...they downplayed their secret love for bowling! So many strikes I thought they struck out, but it was really just my gutter balls that kept us amused. Have fun! read more

It's a bar. People go there to drink. What are the odds you come out at 2:00 AM and are too drunk to drive - so you take a taxi home?What bar tows their customers cars when they leave them overnight? I plan to report them to the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Let's see what they think about this policy. Beware - if you patronize this establishment be prepared to drive home drunk or pay $500 to get your car back when they tow it. Hope you don't get a DUI. read more

80$ for two people to bowl for 2 hours.. Definitely bring your own shoes because this whole place reeks of their rental shoes.

Been bowling leagues at Linbrook since 1979. Linbrook has a great coffee shop and make great tasting pizza . And the Pro Shop is where we buy all our bowling equipment. read more

Great food order off the daily board for even better the staff is friendly, place is clean, happy people, Enjoyable each time I go

Love the old school vibes! Great staff, they were always available and accommodating. Very clean environment and lots of bowling balls to use. We started bumpers down, but newbie teenagers had more fun with them up! They have two sides and I think they separate serious bowlers from us who just want to have fun. Auto scoring is a great feature, especially if you don't know to keep score. The were announcing winners to high score games, which I think is great if you're a bowler, you can win $ if your score high. Cafe and bar and small game room, parking lot. read more

Not a vibe at all, as soon as I walked in it reeked of old shoes/feet. Busted the biggest U turn and went to concourse. Wasn't able to try the food nor the drinks read more

Came here for a Motiv ball try out and brought my friend and his wife and my girlfriend. Guy at the front was nice enough when we finally wanted a lane. Driest conditions ever plus the air doesn't work on the ball return. Went and asked if they could do anything. Guy laughed and said that air doesn't work. So I asked what do we do. He laughs and says it doesn't work. So we stay on it? He says yup... I told him I expect a refund. He laughed again read more

Cool spot ..drinks are really good ,music in the bar is great They even have karaoke at the Kopa Room Bar. I had a Cadillac margarita, Modelo on tap ,shot of Hennessey all for under $30. If your in the Area and just want to have a drink and chill I highly recommend it read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!! I held my 30th birthday at linbrook this past weekend and everyone couldn't stop talking about how awesome this place was! I would choose Linbrook over Bowlero or lucky strikes any day! It has more of an old school feel, but with the best prices and customer service ever!!! I like the fact that I just had to rent lanes/shoes and there was no food minimum for a large party so my guests were able to come and go as they pleased. I ordered wings onion rings chicken nuggets and pizza and my god, everything was delicious. My Asian mom who eats nothing but healthy Asian food couldn't get enough of the food there and was honestly shocked she ate everything! That says alot! Nora helped me order and constantly came to my lane to update me on my order. She was THE SWEETEST lady ever. I am just so overjoyed by how nice everyone there was. It felt like I was part of their community. They even announced my birthday on the speakers to make me feel even more special. All my friends couldn't stop talking about how rad linbrook was and how they'll definitely be coming back! Thank you Linbrook for your hospitality! Best birthday ever! read more

the lanes are nice and pretty chill, service is great and the food and drinks are yummy!

told me i had only 1 hour to play then i had to go, no problem. the problem is when you send me to a lane you knew had problems. so every 3 mins i have to walk to the front desk for them to reset my lane cause it kept getting stuck. coupke of times i had to wait 5 minutes before someone came and reset. what a waste of time and money. i wouldnt come here its too old and outdated. lot of old people too. read more

I took my fairly new ball too bowl there.first throw the lane was elevated and i had asked too move. The second lane(throw number 2) hit a screw popping up on the lane and ball was severely damaged.I asked the place too repair it,it was repaired,but still pretty messed up. THEY DID NOT STOP/REPAIR the lane.I asked the person about the lane and he said "i had a problem on lane ten my ball bounced off in another lane".im going to try and get a new ball from them but i dont think they are going too.PLEASE SPEND THE EXTRA 25$ TOO GO TO A NICER PLACE THAT WONT GET UR BALL DAMAGED. read more

This bowling alley is somewhat out of our way, outdated, and can be quite busy at times, but we come here for two reasons, the prices and the great customer service.

Great price ($18 per hour) nice lanes and not so crowded. Friendly staff. Lots of parking.

My friend and I went bowling here. We didn't get the full time we paid for, and the bowling conditions were really bad. The fan on the ball return wasn't working, and the bowling alley was really hot. It's hard to bowl in those conditions. We think the prices are low here because you have to sacrifice your comfort to bowl in such a hot environment. read more

Vintage treasure! Beautiful, mid century gem. I hope it never gets remodeled or torn down. This is no hipster redo of a vintage bowling alley. It's authentic time capsule. The little restaurant in front had surprisingly great food too. We got quesadillas that were delicious with home made salsa. read more

Don't let the dated decor and exterior of this place fool you, this is a clean, well kept, and well maintained bowling alley! The nostalgic feel when you walk in really takes you back, but the modern digital scoring machines remind you this place can keep up. This place used to be 24hrs, and I hope one day it can return in all its glory. There is good food on site as well a huge bar in the middle. They have karaoke some nights. This place is a lot bigger than it looks as well, there are lanes on both sides of the building, the staff is always super friendly. It can get packed on weekend so be prepared to wait. Overall good bowling alley with well maintained lanes and equipment! Its a strike in my book! read more

Family fun is never over rated in my books. Being able to share leisure time with loved ones is very important to me. The hard part is collectively agreeing on activities that is suitable for everyone in your group. Linbrook Bowl is a vintage bowling alley and karaoke hall. They have been in business since the late 50's and the first time I went was in 2013. If you bring the whole family, I recommend hanging out at the bowling alley. Singles and or couples can enjoy the night life in the karaoke hall. Linbrook Bowl has something for everyone and is in close proximity to O. C's major amusement parks. read more

This place is absolute GARBAGE!!! The sign out front says "since 1958" and I don't think anybody's done any maintenance to the machines or lanes since then! Constantly having ball return problems and pins falling over and not being set right And the machines take forever to reset. just horrible maintenance overall with this dump!! Only gave it one star because I had to give it at least 1 otherwise I'd give it negative stars read more

Rating the Pizza: I tried the Cheese and BBQ Chicken pizzas from here and they were delicious. Good dough and not greasy at all. I am grateful that my parents like to pick up food from here occasionally. read more
