    Retro well Maintained Lanes
    Matthew L.

    New bowler here. Decided to drop by and try the place out because I just dropped off my friend at the Bart and wanted to make the bridge toll worthwhile. At first glance Paddock doesn't look like much but the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The lanes are the best maintained near Vallejo that aren't string pins. I've tried Bowlero Rohnert Park, Bowlero Vacaville, Delta Bowl and their lanes are always pretty dry. I tried bowling league in Bowlero and they tried to oil the lanes but didn't seem to do a good job. The balls came back soaked in oil and I didn't seem to notice any difference from how it normally was. I talked to Dotty the mechanic at Paddock and she said a lot of other factors like the temperature and humidity affect the oil. I also noticed when someone finishes bowling staff comes up and cleans the area pretty quickly. The attached Korean Restaurant was pretty good as well. They serve regular American diner food or have a full Korean menu. It's real food and they don't charge you 6 dollars for a soda. I think I'm gonna switch from Vacaville to here. I'm worried I'm going to develop bad habits and I'm tired of bowlero's high prices and overpriced food/drinks.

    Must be a Saturday morning shot from lane 18 looking toward the patking lot and lane 1.

    This is a bowling alley for league bowlers. The lanes are oiled for leagues, and it is possible to have your lanes oiled on a non-league day (ordered ahead of time and for a charge.) Paddock is putting in new machines right now, and that should be easier on our equipment and their mechanics. If you take your bowling even somewhat seriously, this is a solid house for you. That said, there are usually open lanes for open bowling, except Friday days when senior league takes all 20 lanes. Many people do book lanes for parties, especially on the weekend. There is a children's league with an exceptional coach on Saturday mornings.

    Paddock bowl I appreciate you! In a world full of nothing is the same anymore, you are! We don't bowl very often but it is a fun way to spend some time. Currently Sunday is $3 dollar day. 3 bucks for shoes and 3 per game. We met up with my brothers this morning to spend some quality time. It was busy and there were parties booked but I was told this was unusually busy. We had 1 hour before a party was booked so she let us play a quick game as long as we were done by then. I bowled badly and had a blast! Started my Sunday off very nicely. Last note- the bowling shoes- surprisingly comfortable.

    Pro shop- small but looks like he can get most items needed. Not many pro shops around

    Location easy off freeway Small facility Looks like family owned, seemed like alot of regulars Monday, school holiday- Leagues at 10:30 and 1200 so either early morning or mid afternoon would be best.Hour wait and cafe opened at noon. No arcade Bar looked fine but since we didn't stay long didn't check out Prices reasonable $27 for 3 shoes and 5 games played total not for all three. I kid played twice. Pro shop looked nice

    Yes, this place is a bit grimy and run down, but that really adds to the charm. A good amount of lanes to bowl on, with pretty cheap prices. My spouse and I played three games and it was about $25. The bar was nice, with good cocktails and variety on the draft beer. There's also a cafe/restaurant that we did not try. Pretty standard bowling alley, but it's charming to see a place thriving that has a very vintage feel. Definitely a fun time.

    I did not bowl. However, my family come here to bowl and the kids play in a league. They love it here. I did enjoy hanging out here with my cousins while they bowl. They have a full bar. The drinks were good. The server at the bar was super friendly (she was welcoming). Thought it's my first time here, the bowling alley looks like it's been here awhile. It's kinda small maybe 12 lanes (I could be wrong). We came on a Sunday and it wasn't too crowded which was nice. They have a Korean restaurant connected to them which is a plus. They serve Korean food and bowling alley food! Awesome right?!? It's a cool hangout for a Sunday funday :).

It's loud and chaotic, exactly what you'd expect from an arcade. I'd mainly come for the games and karaoke, though. If bowling is your priority, I'd head to Clayton Valley instead because the lanes here are on Ozempic, they're hella small. Also, AC desperately needs fixing. It's like a boiler room on one side and less hot in other places. I can't imagine working in that heat tbh.

I started bowling where I used to have to keep score by hand, so any place that has screens up there and does it for you doesn't seem "older" to me. Anyways, they had plenty of balls to choose from, and everything worked fine, it didn't have a strange smell, so what more can you ask from a bowling alley?

    I am absolutely disgusted by the way we were treated by one of the employees at this bowling alley…read more Our group spent a lot of money there, only to be treated with disrespect and arrogance. The employee referred to a child as "handicapped." That comment was completely inappropriate, offensive, and unacceptable. No employee has any business speaking about a child that way. When I explained that I was using a lighter bowling ball because I have an injured finger, instead of showing even the slightest bit of understanding, he repeatedly spoke to me in a condescending, demeaning tone. It was humiliating and completely unnecessary. There is never an excuse to mock or belittle a paying customer who is simply explaining a medical limitation. Someone who treats customers this way has no place working in customer service. Basic respect, empathy, and professionalism should be the minimum expectation. This experience completely ruined our visit, and I sincerely hope management addresses this employee's behavior so no other family has to go through the same treatment.

Service issues happen from time to time, but what truly keeps customers coming back is the people. We wanted to recognize three team members who have consistently made our family's experience exceptional. **First, Kaydy, the Kids Club Coordinator.** For the past two years, our family has attended countless Kids Club events, and Kaydy has been the heart and soul behind so many of those memories. She greeted every family with a genuine smile and brought so much energy, warmth, and passion to every event. You could tell she truly loved what she did. It wasn't just another job--it showed in every interaction. When we recently learned she would be leaving, we were honestly heartbroken. Before the recent changes to the Kids Club program, events were consistently packed and often fully booked, and we have no doubt Kaydy's dedication played a huge role in building that loyal following. Pinstripes is losing an incredible employee, and any organization would be fortunate to have her. **Next is Ray, the upstairs manager.** Ironically, our first few visits to Pinstripes years ago could have been our last. We experienced recurring issues with our bowling lane and service that left us frustrated. Fortunately, Ray stepped in each time with professionalism, urgency, and genuine care. He resolved every situation quickly and made us feel heard rather than dismissed. The biggest testament to his leadership? After those early visits, we never encountered problems of that magnitude again. We truly believe his attentiveness and commitment to the guest experience played a major role in that. **And finally, Monica, the hostess with the mostest.** If you've been to Pinstripes, you've probably seen Monica constantly helping guests with a smile. She's hardworking, attentive, organized, and always makes us feel welcome. No matter how busy it gets, she takes the time to acknowledge people and make sure they're taken care of. As long-time customers, we can confidently say that while food, bowling, and bocce bring people through the doors, it's employees like Kaydy, Ray, and Monica who keep families coming back. Thank you for making our family's visits so memorable over the years. Your hard work and dedication have never gone unnoticed.

This was his first "real" bowling experience outside of using small, kiddie bowling sets or paper cups. They had 3 (out of 5 or 6?) working lanes and we go there right at opening so we could pick our lane. We made a reservation on Tock and when we arrived they said they were still "setting up". Not sure what that meant, but we waited about 15 minutes while 4-5 people stood behind the bar. They finally let us downstairs to the alleys where we were able to get our bowling shoes and put in a food order. The food selection was not bad, but after leaving, I realized I ordered two kid menu items which come with a drink, entree, and ice cream...but they gave us the entrees and not the drinks or ice cream. When the orders came out, they had also forgotten on of the entrees as well. Good thing I noticed the missing burger, but wompwomp on missing the additional kid meal items. Make sure you check your orders!! The spicy chicken sandwich and the buffalo wings were super slathered in sauce and very salty. The kids burger was burnt and my toddler didn't touch it. The fries and quesadilla were really good though! The kids had a fun time with the bowling experience - they had kid friendly items like a ramp for the ball and bumpers..plus some 7 lbs balls that my 3-year old was able to manage lol.

This time when visiting back home in Alameda we decided to play mini golf! The pricing is as follows (as of August 2026): - $16 - Adults (age 18-64) - $13 - Youth (age 0-17) (Age 0-4 is free when playing with a paid adult) - $13 - Seniors (age 65+) You pay at the front and then there's a ball machine near the entrance where you pull the handle of the color ball you want and it comes down the cool metal wire runway. The lady at the front wasn't super helpful and we kinda wandered around looking for where to get the balls, but once we asked she pointed out where we could get them. There are a standard 19 holes on this course and each one is a cool little tidbit about the Bay Area! It was cool seeing local landmarks and the different challenges for each hole. I was terrible was had a fantastic time playing. My boyfriend on the very last hole, got a hole-in-one which triggers an alarm and you get a free round a mini golf voucher that expires 3 months afterwards!
