Dear gamers....if you have not made it to the palace social you must visit. It's got it all, but at the same time it doesn't feel so big, and overwhelming. You can bowl (put your name on the list, can get busy on weekends), play games, eat, or even plan an ice cream social....it's a really fun place for adults and kids! read more

We love palace social to hang out and take our kids to play. It's the perfect spot in West U/ Bellaire to escape the summer heat and have a cocktail while the kids play in the arcade. They have about 6 bowling lanes also with service and all the food we have had has been super tasty! Very friendly and helpful staff and they have done a great job of keep the arcade clean as opposed to most which just look gross and sticky after too much use. read more

The food and ambiance was incredible. We celebrated my adult daughter's birthday with family and really enjoyed the service and fun. If I lived closer I would definitely go more often. read more

Ambiance and service are great here. The kids love it here and it's close to their school so they run into friends a lot. The food is just ok. I was expecting better than bowling alley food taste but it's about that level to me. read more

Great place to take the kids. They have food, bowling, arcade and VR gaming. The kids love it here. Definitely will be back.

A little pricey to bowl, but overall, we had a fun time. The atmosphere and service is great.. However, the food is average - would suggest eating a nice dinner elsewhere before going to bowl. read more

This has been one of the worst experiences I ever had. After about 3 different waiters/waitresses, wrong orders, and rude customer service... our server told our table of 20 that we could only have 1 check. The frustration came from the manager saying that it was our responsibility to read it on the menu BEFORE we ordered. If you look at the picture attached, that rule is in blue at the bottom of the menu. The manager took no accountability and put all of the responsibility back on us. read more

Aw jeez; it saddens me to even write this review. I really had high expectations for this place from the way it looked in person to photos in yelp. Nothing really went right for my entire group last night and I guess it's time for the ban hammer to fall. Story time? Let's go. Walking into this illuminated place filled with bright neon lights, a nice dining room, and a possible event filled place was tears of anguish, disappointment, and bitter with a smidge of regret. My group of friends and I were celebrating one of my girl's birthday and we were all so excited to be here. We met with them in the dining room and other people slowly filled up our table. The restaurant was semi busy, you know like April 25th? The perfect date where it's not too hot nor is it too cold... you just need a light jacket. There was one server on the floor, or the ghost of one. She came probably every like 20-30 minutes, rarely checked in on us, and talked to us. It's super disappointing because a lot of us are industry folk and we get it. We understand the hustle but we were literally left stranded to fend for ourselves 85% of the time. When everyone ordered everything for food, we never got checked on or maybe once we did. I kept going to the bar to get refills on cola and my party just started ordering from the bar because she disappeared, or was talking to the rest of the staff behind the walls. Food appeared and my chicken fried steak was borderline Luke warm. My boyfriends chicken was as hard as a rock. Everyone else just ate because they were starving And didn't want to say anything. To put it bluntly; it sucked. Our hopes and dreams fleeted the moment we sat down. Now my boyfriend and I have $40 of credit on cards for games that we're never going to use. Tldr; service sucked. Food was cold, bland, and inedible. Can't be bothered to come back. read more

Cool place to Bowl and have drinks draw back is long wait time on drinks and food after you place your order its 30plus minutes on drinks even longer on food this was my 3rd time here and the exact same experience read more

This place is HUGE. We had such a great time here. We had a party of 8 and spent 6 hours here on a Saturday. It was crazy. The time passed by so fast because we were having such a great time. There are lots of things to do. Something for everyone. We bowled, did the Omni Arena, arcade games, VR room for an hour, had lunch, and still didn't do everything!! Bring your wallet, you are gonna need it! read more

Hadn't been here since it was only Palace Lanes. What a great spot now. We enjoyed our charcuterie board and bowling. The guys were able to watch the basketball game too. I'm ready to go back. read more

The vibe is not bad and the place is cute! HOWEVER, if you want to go bowling you can't book a lane before you go. I tried going twice. One time we called ahead and they said that there were no private events so we should be okay to bowl, my group of friends showed up and a whole birthday party was happening! I also came another time w my sister and we showed up to bowl 2 hours before closing and there was a waitlist. Very inconvenient and they need to change bowling to booking a lane ahead of time. read more

The place is nice and new, has a great arcade and bowling section is small but suitable. I always give places a second chance so I came back after my first visit to bowl. I hoped things would have changed with the service and hospitality. You walk in to either a empty front area or a grumpy looking person. They act like there being bothered and regrettably point you in the right direction. To another person unhappy and hates their job. I had to ask 4 times for them to put bumpers in and then sarcastically told there doing it right now. This place needs new management, one thing that was good was our server, Christian who greeted us with a warm smile and happy to be at work attitude. I had to ask multiple people if someone could wait on us. Please fix this place up. read more

My son wanted to come here to celebrate his birthday with bowling at the Bellaire location. We arrived at 11:30am on a Saturday morning and there was 1 birthday party going on and another family bowling. We were able to get a lane for a party of 9 with no wait time. There were 2 servers who immediately brought us waters and answered any questions we had. We ordered the wings (Buffalo, garlic Parmesan, and lemon pepper), French fries, pepperoni flatbread and supreme flatbread. The food was excellent!!! I forgot to take pictures as we were just enjoying the moment. The one thing that really stood out to me was how clean everything was. I took my 10 month old to the restroom to change her diaper and the bathroom was so clean and I could smell the bleach. By the time we were leaving at 2pm it was definitely starting to get crowded as more parties were starting, so I would def suggest coming early. This is a great family friendly establishment and I will definitely be back. read more

Why aren't prices posted yet or menu . Extra words so I can post . I like good prices and are all gaming inclusive with bowling or we pay individual for things. read more

Super cute space and just the right size for entertaining small or bigger groups. The food and service were excellent. Great beer selection too! read more

I went with my husband and had a blast. I hope they do well. The only negative was the food. The menu is ambitious but the Mac we got tasted like it had freezer burn. read more

Celebrated my nieces bday here and Love the vibe here! Food is also great! Will definitely be back.

We had a really good time. Service was wonderful. Ca' nya and Asia took great care of our bigger party with kids and older grandparents. The kids enjoyed bowling and the arcade room and just the fun of running around. We did go early because around 7 or 7:39 it turned into a young adult scene which seemed fun as well! read more

This place was so fun! My husband and I bowled, did the XD experience and ate in the restaurant. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS SPOT - food is so good! Bowling was fun! XD was fun and included some game points for the arcade - definitely recommend this place! Spent 4 hours here and had a blast! read more

Family friendly place with great customer service. Arcade was a great size and all the games worked . Kids really enjoyed the VR games the most. Bowling was also a hit. We didn't play the golf simulator but it looked really cool. Definitely recommend and will return. read more

I took my niece and nephew here a week ago on a Saturday evening and we all loved it. It was great to enjoy the sports on the bar TV while the kids enjoyed themselves. read more

My son loves to come to this place. He's 5 and it's perfect for his age! It's not overwhelmingly crowded like a Dave and busters or Chuck E. Cheese, which I love!! I can load his game card, set up at a table in front of the arcade and let him play until his hearts content. And when he wants me to join, it's fun for me too! They have a substantial menu and full bar. They have bowling and some other things but I haven't done it to comment on it. Perfect family night date! read more

You know, people never cease to amaze me. I'm here celebrating a birthday for a Friend of my son and hear a bunch of people at a table near me getting upset because they chose not to read the menu and were taken back by the fact that they tried not to follow the policy of the establishment and wanted to do whatever they wanted. Did you have more than one waitress? Yes because this place works as a team and a darn good one at that Did the manager explain to you that you had the policy on your hand the entire time and chose to ignore it? Yes Did you act entitled and try to push off any responsibility you had for your own actions? ABSOLUTELY! Come on now, it's easy to blame everyone except the person in the mirror isn't it? It's really too bad you are upset because of the consequences of your own actions. The place did their job and posted it on the menu, that is what was required and you chose to act out. Stop being petty and act like adults or perhaps go through a drive through next time read more

We come here at least once a month, however our experience yesterday was disappointing. My husband tried to order drinks at the bar. Bartenders were deliberately ignoring him, tossed a menu and rudely placed his drink down. No ounce of customer service. We decided to sit down & dine because my husband had to be on call at 7pm. It was around 6pm at this point. The hostess in yellow was polite, but nobody came to check on us for 20 mins. We left. read more

Great place to come bring the family for some fun. Small bowling ally but large restaurant, arcade, and virtual games. We didn't try the food but planning on coming back. read more

This is a fun date night spot! I went on a saturday afternoon and it was packed with kids. Not a bad thing- just an FYI. I had a few drinks at the bar and I loved the selection. The bowling is fun but I think it's a bit expensive for the time that you get but It's still worth checking out for sure!! read more

Just went for a quick date night in a Sunday to play arcade games and have a cocktail before a long week. I think the decide and environment is chic laid paid something fun for the entire family member or crew. I had the pineapple daiquiri with Malibu delicious fresh and large glass. read more

First and foremost, amazing. This place has everything a parent and adult could need! Arcade, bowling and drinks??? Umm, yes please. The concept is amazing, the interactions are amazing as well! To elaborate on why this place is amazing, I'll chalk it down to four things: 1. FOOD 2. ENTERTAINMENT 3. SERVICE 4. DRINKS (all caps are definitely necessary) 1. Ok, let's talk about the food. For one, to die for. For two, to literally die for. Idk who the chef is but please, keep it coming. I've eaten here on multiple occasions and I've had everything from the taquitos and quesadillas, to the chicken fried steak (with two sides, thank you very much) and the NY Steak and EVERYTHING was up to par. Kudos to the kitchen crew. You guys are amazing! 2. Moving along, we have the entertainment. My daughter had an absolute blast in the dark ride and the virtual reality and my son LOVED the ring toss game. The game selection was awesome and cheap, and the guys and girls running everything were a whole vibe in themselves, especially the ladies that ran the prize booth and the guys in the VR. The hosts said the arcade had over 50 games and they did NOT lie. We had a blast! 3. As for the service, I've been to this establishment many of plenty of times and I absolutely love the girl squad! These women are just delightful! Marissa, Jeyla, Kimberly and Ashley, y'all are outstanding at your jobs! I've watched each one of these women, SEPARATELY, handle their own and I remembered their names just for this review. Ladies, do the damn thing! And to anyone that says they didn't get great service, it couldn't have been one of these ladies! If you go and want to have a great time and get taken care of, just request one of them! 4. Let take a moment to thank the girl with the Mohawk and BJ. These bartenders are wizards, because the drinks are popping! I got the Frozy today and yes ma'am!!!! Hit. The. Spot. Thank y'all, because that's exactly what I needed in my life. To wrap everything up, this place is definitely a go to spot whether your with the kids or your friends. I would definitely recommend (I already am)! read more

Had a quick stop and enjoy this fun vibrant family establishment.. we got a chance to partake the 4D experience which was so much fun but not long enough but had fun with it.. great spot to spend the day wit. The entire family. Food, games and drinks read more

Cool place to chill with a variety of things to do! They had a nice game room, arcade, nice dining and drinks, a VR, a golf stimulator, and bowling. The place was great. The only reason I took a star away from being 5 was the bowling lanes were a little cramped and had a strange setup. I was in a group of four and we barely had a spot to sit and we were facing their backs. Other than that the place is great. read more

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! Taking the charm of the old bowling alley and added all the modern attractions and dining. The restaurant has a HUGE menu of not just elevated pub food but gorgeous and healthy salads and main courses. PLUS a full dessert bar. My nieces and I were there for four hours and had an amazing time. Follow their social media for ongoing promotions and specials, too! read more

About a month ago I was trying to think of a place to have a birthday party for my now 17-year-old granddaughter. Someone asked on FB where was a good place to take a few HS students The majority of you recommended Palace Social in Bellaire. It was the BEST recommendations. After reading the recommendations we went to Palace Social after she got out of her last day of school. Erin showed us around, and made us comfortable. The place has only been opened a year. Great family place and adult place. the food was delicious and plentiful. Only complaint was the adult beverage very light hand on the alcohol I had to order doubles. The staff was so attentive and made sure our every need was met. I had one happy teenager and I'm sure y'all know that can be impossible. Again thank you!!!!! read more

Looks small from the outside but there are plenty of room and activities there. The bowling alley is shorter than regulate size. The main purpose is just to have fun. Plenty of arcade games. The workers there are young but pretty professional. read more
