Pros: cool vibes, good music, nice staff, always lanes available. Cons: insanely expensive ($85 two games for two people and one shoe rental) - this will make us not want to come back unfortunately, lightest ball was 8lbs so not great for us smaller people. read more

Used to come here all the time and wanted to do something fun for my birthday! First flag, it was $235 to reserve a lane and there was a mandatory $35 online booking fee, but you can ONLY book online. Plus an extra $36 for shoes. We ordered food and drinks, which totaled $200, and it took a long time to get it because all the servers went into a meeting at the same time. There was also a 12.5% service charge on top of tax and tip. Okay fine... the prices went way up! Whatever it's my bday! The real kicker was my friend baked me a cake and they said it was gonna be a $65 additional fee to bring it into the building. After MUCH debate we decided to just do it, because what other choice did we have? But when they came over to charge us it was $75 because of a 12.5% service charge and the server asked for gratuity... on a cake that WE brought. When we talked to the manager Ray about it, he was super condescending initially telling us that there was nothing he could do about it. Eventually he DID refund the fee for the cake, but by then the experience was ruined. I will never go back to Pinz and I'm super disappointed about it. What a sour taste in my mouth, $475 down the drain, and a crappy end to my 40th bday! read more

The guy working at this place his name is Cross, was extremely creepy and rude. Came up to my friend and I super aggressive giving us uncalled for advice about bowling. Made my friend super uncomfortable with his Paul Walker crashing joke and he ruined our experience completely. And to top it off he felt the need to touch her back as he was passing her AND stayed there to watch her bowl which made her extremely uncomfortable. Wouldnt recommend this place to anyone unless you're ready to deal with an employee watching you 24/7. read more

This woman was SO rude. She came and yelled at my kids for not having bowling shoes on! She crept up behind them and yelled at the top of her lungs "STOP" and it left my children terrified. I understand they should've had their bowling shoes on but she could've asked nicely. She came up behind them like a monster! Don't work somewhere if you don't know how to communicate with young children.

Imagine the charm of a Dave & Busters, mixed with a nightclub, set in a bowling alley. That's what Pinz Bowling Center is. Not saying it's bad, but I can't exactly say it's good either. At its core, it's just a bowling alley. There's balls, shoes to rent that were pretty much clean, and the lanes were pretty well maintained and working fine. You bowl, you drink/eat snacks, and you have fun so in that regard, this place achieves that. Parking is a crap shoot...there's a sizable lot, but it can fill up quickly when there's a large crowd. There's parking on the street that's metered and it's not that hard to find open spots here and there. I came here for a company holiday party and I didn't have to pay for anything, so I don't really know how my experience would change if there was an added cost. Overall though, the service was nice and the people were very accommodating and friendly. Let me making one thing abundantly clear, I had a good time. Our company rented out half of the building and there were snacks and food dispersed throughout the place. The pizza had gone cold 30 minutes into the night and nothing was served in warming trays surprisingly. The menu was filled with your usuals...pretzels, pizzas, chips and salsa, chicken fingers, and fries. All decent and good, especially the pretzels, but it's the type of snack food that leaves you wanting better. The service at the bar was relatively quick and excellent. They made sure to use a full jigger in every cup. They didn't feel like "cheap" well drinks. The only downside of the night was when they stopped our game mid round...the place was open until 10 and at 9:55, the lane went dark and the scoreboard said to return shoes at the front desk. I haven't been here since maybe middle school? Funny enough, the music they chose for the evening was straight from a late 90s/early 2000s bar-mitzvah playlist that I probably heard back then. I can't see myself coming back unless I really want to go bowling. read more

Worst experience I've ever had at bowling alley. Waited 3 hours on the waitlist checking in. They told you an hour and half would be the original wait time. Instead of going based off who was there and check in they made reservations priority even though reservations could be made after we already checked in. So basically reservations just skip the line even though we checked in before they made the reservation. They even called us to get a lane on text after 2 hours and half of waiting but instead apologized and said it was a mistake and gave our lane to a reservation. After 3hours someone came up to us and told us it would be another 40mins. There was also multiple lanes that were available but looked to be closed because they didn't want to do more work 6 in total. Also food is mid the carne asada fries tasted like Wiener schnitzel chili mixed with little pieces of carne asada read more

Service is also poor, I wouldn't recommend bowling here or anywhere else, just too much money wasted!!! UPDATE: I'm changing my current review from 1 to 4 .....because of Jen !

I want to start by saying, I have been coming here for a very long time. It's has been a fun local place to come with friends and family but I have to say the customer service has declined dramatically. We visited here today with my family and we were greeted by a very friendly gentlemen. We wanted to have a fun Father's Day weekend with the kids and he was so nice greating us and the kids. When we got assigned to our lane(lane 21), we realized it was not working so the guy assigned us to another lane. All in all, he noticed that the kids and the extended time to get us started was of inconviene and told us we can ask for an extra 10-15min if we needed it after our hour was over. Very sweet of him as he understood the inconvenience of the lane not working and having to switch us 2x with 2 little kids. He showed great customer service. As the hour past we went to ask for the extra 10-15 min and we were greeted by a manager named Nina and she was the total opposite of the First Gentleman. She was rude and not accommodating. She basically wanted to keep charging us and did not want to hear what had happened and what we were saying. She definilty seemed very inexperienced and not in the proper position for her behavior. We had planned on staying there long and ordering food and enjoying the arcade but after our encounter with this manager we just wanted to leave! She basically did not care for the customer and was way over her head with her role and attitude. We don't think we will ever return knowing this is the management behavior and do not recommend anyone going there especially with family. I would have given 0 stars but the gentlemen that greated us was awesome! Perhaps, he deserves the position of a manager more then this lady. I would love to hear from higher management to discuss this incident and to hopefully help rectify for better experiences in the future. read more

Server at this bowling place dropped my non alcoholic drinks that me and my friends ordered all over me and one of the bottles lended on my phone and cracked my screen.

Not only I and all my stuff that was on the table got wet, but also they refused to cover the cost of the damages! It's expensive to fix a phone screen, and all they offered was to remove the drinks and charges from that night and a one hour complementary line and first round or drinks/food on them.

The staff was friendly and overall I think the grounds are pretty well kept. Also the clientele here is a bit more polite than you will deal with in other parts of LA County.

You may have played bocce or boules at some time in your life, but many folks don't know about lawn bowling (or bowls). The game mechanics are similar, but lawn bowling is more fun and requires more skill, in my opinion. I won't get into the rules of the game since there is Google for that, but it's one of those games that is fast and easy to learn but takes years to master. That said, it's not remotely as frustrating or expensive as golf. And full disclosure, I am a member of the Club. I joined in July of 2024. :-) VIBES & SURROUNDINGS Holmby Park is a gorgeous location, and the bowling club, I believe, is the only private Club within an L.A. city park. Surrounded by trees with beautiful but not oppressive sunlight in a quiet neighborhood nestled inside the southeast end of the park. Plenty of free street parking. The members of HPLBC are a friendly group ranging from PhD students in their 20s to retired doctors in their 90s, with plenty of people (like me!) in the middle. The Club has been going since 1927, so there is a lot of history to learn if you're interested. And there's always a conversation to be had with someone new. THE CLUB You can take FREE lessons, and afterward, if you like the Club, you can join. But there is no hard sell or pressure to join like an old-school gym membership. Whoever gives you a lesson (mostly likely John) will only present joining as something you can choose to do. My dues for 2025 were $105, and that is if you join within the first quarter of the year. It gets prorated the deeper it gets into the year. For example, I only paid $50 when I joined in July of 2024. They have all the equipment there, and you can use club bowls or "loaner bowls" (aka the things you roll across the grass) until you decide to buy your own set. i.e. You can just show up and play without spending thousands of dollars on clubs or other gear. SNACKS! Did I mention there are snacks? There is a clubhouse that usually has stuff to munch on or soft drinks in the fridge. And there is usually a more organized picnic-type meal when someone decides to throw a birthday party, holiday-themed bowl, or when we have tournaments with another club. Or if we just feel like eating. And on Saturdays there is usually a taco truck about a block and a half away for post-game tacos. We play Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 10 am And in the warmer and lighter months, we play on Wednesdays at 5 pm. But we do have lights for when it gets dark. I could go on, but the short of it is -- If you're looking to put down your phone and enjoy the outdoors while playing a low-stakes sport with a great group of people, please come check out Holmby Park. And the only other tips I'll give you if you decide to come by are to wear sunscreen, shoes with barely any treads to protect the green, and be ready to have fun!

It's a fun outdoor game that provides some needed exercise. The instructor is more than helpful and…read moreclub members very friendly. They also provided me with all the equipment necessary.

I bowl pretty frequently with my family and have lived in Studio City for a year now. Driven by this place numerous times and finally decided to give it a try. I'll just list off all the problems. 1 - It's overly expensive and pretends to be a trendy bowling alley like Lucky Strike. Even claiming that "A-listers" frequent there. That's joke enough but the real problem starts with it being more expensive to book online than to walk in. That doesn't make sense. When asked about it the staff just gave an attitude. They won't adjust the price, or really adjust anything when it comes to their clients. 2 - The equipment is as old as the building it seems. Our lane kept breaking and we couldn't even bowl half of our game. 3 - HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! We didn't even get through half our game because of problems, our time was running out and the rude staff said that "all they can do is extend 10 minutes". They said this quickly before scurrying off because even they knew that was ridiculous. When it broke again I just asked for a refund and they said that there is nothing they can do, they don't give refunds ever. Even when we wouldn't have been able to finish our game. Perhaps the best example of how they treat customers though is their responses to me on social media. Making false claims about how I acted, how big the problems on their side was and even taking low-blows at me as a person and at my career. I've attached pictures of that. That alone should tell you to steer clear of this place. They should honestly not be in business if they treat people like this. The place seems like it's run by pretentious LA "transplants" who really embrace the stereotype that true Angelenos like myself try to stay away from. Support LA by not supporting this place. read more

I really like Pinz, but after what happened last night was nothing but ridiculous. We were bowling with a group of 6 and one of the ppl at the front desk told us while we were putting out names down to reserve a lane it would be an hour wait, and I was lookin at the list and we were the fourth ppl on it right, and I go back to the front desk and ask another employee how much longer and he told me another 30 min and as I leave the same douche bag employee that told me it was gonna be an hour wait tells a group of other ppl laughing "that there's no wait" idk if they were his friends or he was just bribed and he ranged up 4 other ppl and still we got no text to Come to the front, finally asking someone at the front desk what the hell was going on and they finally put me on a lane, I wasn't gonna let this ruin my mood, but then as we were leaving i see the douche bag employee outside smoking weed in the parking lot with a group of sketchy ass ppl, I think it's really unprofessional to see how Pinz would hire this guy, keep in mind this kid told me he's a manger and he has a really goofy face and his hair is orange like a clown, and he has a really condescending attitude and while on the clock gets high, you ppl really need to look into who you hire at your establishment. I'm still gonna go to Pinz but I don't wanna be ranged up by some junkie. read more

THE WORST BOWLING EXPERIENCE EVER! Eight of us went to Pinz to celebrate our friends birthday and from the very beginning felt unwelcome. We asked for two lanes since we had eight people, the lady at the counter stated we needed nine if we wanted two lanes...The place was not very busy and we could see that this person had a horrible attitude so we went with the one lane. She put us in the middle of two other big parties and most of us had nowhere to sit or even stand. After the first game we had a friend join us and he paid for eight people before realizing that four people were sitting the next one out. When we asked for a refund the same woman told us that it was not her problem and they don't give refunds. In a very condescending tone said "how about a birthday announcement instead! So we asked for a manager to see if maybe we could get a refund or at least play two games since we just paid for it, the manager sided with his employee but reluctantly let us played two games. Ten minutes later he came over to us (we thought to say sorry) and began to tell us off about "the way we talked to his employee".I've never seen such poor customer service or even people skills for that matter. All the while it's the most expensive place i've ever bowled at. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!! read more

I recently visited PInz and had an absolutely fantastic time! The facility is top-notch, offering a perfect blend of modern amenities with a classic bowling atmosphere. The lanes are well-maintained, making every game smooth and enjoyable. Whether you're a seasoned bowler or a newbie, the staff is incredibly friendly and ready to help with any needs. The atmosphere is lively, with great music and lighting that adds to the fun without being overwhelming. I was also impressed by the variety of food and drinks available--much better than your typical bowling alley fare. The menu had something for everyone, from delicious burgers to healthier options, and the bar had a great selection of craft beers and cocktails. What really stood out to me was the cleanliness of the entire facility, including the restrooms. It's clear that the management takes pride in maintaining a welcoming and safe environment for all visitors. There's even an arcade area and party rooms, making it a great spot for family outings, birthday parties, or just a night out with Feel free to customize the review with the name of the bowling alley and any specific details that stood out to you. read more

Studio City should send Pinz Bowling Center a thank you note every day they are open! My family and I have been bowling here for 10 years! Wanna talk about local businesses doing it right? These guys take the cake! Like every business they have had their ups and downs but in the last year or so they have really got a grip on things, they listen to their customers and they are all about "better service". I am NOT biased, I bowl all around the county. These guys do it right! Usually wherever you see celebs hangout is a good spot, celebs are like cops and fireman, they don't have to go there, they go because its a great place. Pros: Cool spot with video games and air hockey. Can join a league (If you like that type of thing) Almost always see a celeb bowling. Plenty of parking Cons: Gets packed and there's a wait. Need more specials during prime time, it's a bit pricey. Pinz is a hub, Studio City lacks a Hub for all demographics to cross paths. I am happy they are there and will continue to bowl and support them. Like it or not that's where the cool kids are at! read more

I recently went to Pinz for their unlimited bowling special and had one of the WORST experiences I've ever had at a bowling alley. Usually when I go there's an African American gentleman or a young lady that helps me and makes sure I'm squared away when I bowl. Unfortunately this time they were busy so some goth kid with a lip ring helped me. I think his name was Cody banks or something like that, I'm not sure. He had a bad attitude and didn't seem to experienced with customers but apparently he's a manager. I brushed it off because I just wanted to hurry up and get to my lane. Later I even over heard him yelling at a woman about wearing bowling shoes. Who does that? To top off the night I was told that I didn't need as many bowling balls as I had on my rack and the same kid started putting my balls back in the middle of my game. I'm not sure who runs the place but as long as he's there you can DEFINITELY count me out. I refuse to attend an bowing with a kid who doesn't know how to treat customers and let them bowl in peace. read more

Came here on a busy Friday nite with some friends. the place was nice and well kept. I order us a lane very quickly. they seemed to have a lot of birthday parties and functions going on that nite but they did have some lanes left open. to bowl on a Friday nite its $9 a game. kinda expensive. I know Friday is one of there big nites but damn. plus its more if u need shoes. the truly need to get some new bowling shoes. the ones they gave me look like Fred Flintstone wore them. u can order your food & drinks while u bowl. u push a button and the waitress comes to u which was kool. they have popular music playing in the background. they get the food from Jerry's Deli which is connected to them. they also have a little arcade area with an air hockey game to which I can never resist playing. all in all it was an enjoyable nite. kinda expensive but enjoyable. they are cheaper during the day/afternoons and on off week nites. read more

We had such a fun afternoon bowling here! From the moment we walked in, the experience was incredible. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and so helpful throughout our entire visit. We started our game, and someone came right over to our lane to take our drink orders. Our group tried the Mint Mojito, Basil Smash, and Espresso Martini--and they were all delicious! We also ordered the mozzarella sticks, and OH MY GOSH...the house-made ranch was AMAZING! I seriously wish I could have taken some home. The staff continued to be attentive and friendly the entire time. After our game, we checked out the restaurant and arcade, and I couldn't believe how clean everything was. Even the ladies' restroom was adorable and spotless--which is always a huge plus! This is officially my new favorite bowling alley. Great atmosphere, great food and drinks, amazing staff, and an incredibly clean facility. We will absolutely be back! read more

There are two ways to look at Pinz - from the perspective of a casual bowler looking to have fun and from the perspective of a league bowler. My review will provide you with both perspectives... Casual Bowler: Pinz is a fun place to bowl. With music blasting, disco lights flashing, and beautiful people all around (very rare at a bowling alley), what's not to love? While the Pinz environment is a lot of fun, the prices make it hard for many people to afford. If you're just looking to bowl (and don't really care about seeing or being seen), I'd recommend Pickwick. League Bowler: Run. No, seriously...run away. While the environment is great and the people cannot be beat, the lanes themselves, well, suck. The lanes are dry (sometimes I wonder if they've ever been oiled), the machines are from the stone age, and there is no pro shop. If you're looking for serious league play, Pickwick is the place. read more

I am writing a response in regards to the verbal attack I witnessed tonight at Pinz. I am a long time customer of Pinz and it just so happens that I was there tonight for a separate event and while I was smoking a cigarette outside, the user Ben B is falsely accusing an employee of drug use, they were also harassing the manager and were becoming verbally violent and were eventually asked to leave by security. I've been coming here for years with my kids and family and have had nothing but, a great experience and as a parent it is upsetting to see young adults like these individuals trying to tarnish one of the few family establishments here in LA. Thank you Pinz for yet another great experience, you may have lost the money from a couple of punks but, I can assure you that you will gain more customers from the people I tell to come here for bowling! read more

I am deeply disappointed by the lack of professionalism exhibited by the management at this bowling alley. From the moment I stepped foot inside, it was clear that customer service was not a priority. The staff seemed disinterested and untrained, and it took an absurd amount of time just to get a lane assigned. Furthermore, the equipment was in dismal condition, with many of the bowling balls showing signs of wear and tear. When I tried to address these concerns with the management, I was met with indifference and excuses. It's evident that maintenance and upkeep are not a priority for this establishment. Overall, I would not recommend this bowling alley to anyone looking for a fun and enjoyable experience. The lack of professionalism from the management has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future. read more

On Sunday, October 6th, my friends and I went bowling, excited for a great time together. Unfortunately, things went downhill when our waitress accidentally dropped bottles from her tray, shattering my friend's brand-new iPhone screen. While the manager was friendly and tried to make amends, my friend still had to pay over $350 to get the screen replaced. The manager assured us the situation would be resolved within 24-72 hours, but after 10 days of waiting, they finally told us they wouldn't be taking responsibility for the damage caused by their employee. We were shocked and disheartened by their response. Accidents happen, but businesses should stand behind their customers when things go wrong. We left highly disappointed with the outcome of what could have been a simple fix. Would not recommend based on this experience! read more

I love the location of this bowling ally. Studio city has so much good stuff around. The lanes were nice and they had a fun little arcade. Servers we nice and the food was good. They have a jerry's deli attached to the ally and they have a full bar in there as well. The music was a little loud for my taste but they played cool 90's music while I was there so i enjoyed that. I was there on a Friday night so I'm not sure What prices are like other night's, but they are quite expensive in comparison to other places. $9 per game on top of a fee per person just to get the lane. I thought it was pretty standard to pay by the hour now but I guess I was wrong. I went with 5 people and played 2 games and the total was well over $100. I may be crazy but that seems pretty steep for bowling. Otherwise it was a fun time. read more

I grew up going here like many others. My friends and I have so many great memories of this place. It's such a shame that this place has turned into such a dump. A bunch of entitled little kids working here that have no idea what they're doing, crummy food, terrible management, and a trashy crowd. Our group had the unfortunate opportunity to meet a man that calls himself the Vice President of the company (Peter). A vp that walks around in shorts, an t-shirt that is too small for him (his stomach was hanging out), a bandana for a mask and some of the worst breath I've ever smelled on a human being in my almost 50 years of being on this planet. There are other bowling alleys in the valley and all throughout LA. If you live in the area, take the time and drive somewhere else. TRUST ME!! read more

The atmosphere at Pinz is lively and fun, and the lanes were perfect for our party. The staff's positive energy really made the experience special, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate my birthday. If you're looking for a great place to bowl and have fun with friends or family, I highly recommend Pinz. Thanks again to Jen and the team for making my birthday so memorable! read more

Don't ever bring your kids here. Ever. It was my daughter's birthday, they advertised "free bowling for kids" and the manager Peter was beyond awful. False advertising to say the least, and he stood and watched a group of kids crying their eyes out because he wouldn't honor the public advertisement of "kids bowl for free" as long as we paid for their shoes. We even offered to pay part of the bowling fee even though the advertisement clearly stated "free bowling for kids". Peter was mean, dishonest and downright cruel. Who looks a kid in the face on their birthday and smiles and is so mean?He should be fired for misleading advertising, being a terrible human being, and someone should contact the Better Business Bureau about their dishonest business practices. read more

I visited Pinz for the first time this past weekend and had a wonderful experience! As soon i entered the doors i was greeted and felt welcomed immediately. I then went to the counter where i was helped by a young man named Julian who had outstanding customer service from being friendly, answering all of my questions, to setting up my game. The bowling alley itself is wonderful, very clean and lively environment. I will definitely be returning to Pinz, not only for the bowling but for the outstanding customer service!

A friend, and I, and another girl were in the bathroom, peeing, looking at ourselves in the mirror, when this pervert walks in the bathroom claiming to be the "owner of the establishment" like if that's some type of excuse as to walk into the FEMALE BATHROOM BEING A MALE with authority saying "clean up check" when you clearly have FEMALE EMPLOYEES to go into the FEMALES BATHROOM. AFTER I expressed this concern to "the owner of the establishment" he proceeded to call Security and 911 on us, when all he could have done was apologize and move on with his night, and didn't let us finish our game.

Music was kinda loud that it was kinda hard to converse with friends. Bartenders we're nice, although it took awhile for our orders to be served. Quesadilla and garlic fries we're not bad choices. I Just can't say the same to the chicken tenders. Parking is residential so a little walk shouldn't be a problem. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to visit this bar again.

Huge pros and cons…read more Games here are pricey. We're talking about 80 tokens for 20 bucks, where each game is about 8 to 13 tokens, where all the popular ones are on the higher end. They offer a time-play card for cheap, about 10 dollars for 60 minutes, but you can only play about 18 games, and usually the less popular ones. So yes, pricey, but they offer food for cheaper than most places, even than the mall itself. You can get your kid ice cream here for 1 dollar, yes, 1 freaking dollar! That's what sold me. Food is also cheap; we got a large pepperoni pizza, fries, and an unlimited refill drink for 10 bucks. They got alcoholic drinks at a decent price too. And they currently have a collab with anime shows so you can get special drinks and cups, like from the One Piece collectors edition that keeps selling out quick. You can also get specialty food. They also offer bowling and pool so you can spend a whole day here. My son and I spent 2 hours here, and we had a blast. Expensive, yes, but fun nonetheless.

I'm a dad who reviews restaurants solely based on the baby changing stations available to dads…read more I'm not sure how it's possible, but Round 1 has one of the best baby changing setups I've seen, short of Carter's. The flip down changing table is by the sinks, with its own partition for privacy. No changing your baby in the accessible stall next to some dude taking a dump. Clean, private, and great to use. I will note that the changing table is currently out of order, but i have used it several times before and it's a very baby and dad-friendly setup.

The Happy Hour is buy 3 drinks and get the cheapest drink for 1 cent. Got the Chicken Quesadilla for $12. It wasn't bad for bar food. Also, got the Jack Tripper for $13. The drink wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Great place to hang out for cheap food and drinks.

It's not a dealbreaker, but it's noticeable--especially if you're familiar with their usual pours. We also ordered a basket of fries, which were decent and came out hot. Nothing particularly standout, but they definitely hit the spot as a bar snack and paired well with the drinks. That said, I personally prefer the Beverly Grove location. The setup there feels more comfortable and versatile with both bar and table seating, making it easier to settle in whether you're just grabbing a drink or staying for a while. I've also found the drinks there to be more consistent in strength. This spot is still a solid choice if you're in the area, but if you have the option, the Beverly Grove location offers a better overall experience in my opinion.
