Came here because the Bowling Alley on base was full of retirees and the manager warned us that they were gonna be there all night. So I hopped on Groupon and found one for this place. It is tucked away out of sight from any major streets. It seems to be a favorite of the locals and was very busy on a Monday night, but there were a few lanes available. This place has full amenities including a bar, cafe, and small arcade, all of which is showing signs of age and could be refreshed/updated. Sodas were a little flat. Not a lot of bowling balls available compared to other places I have been to (wishing i hadn't lost my personal one) and some were in bad shape. If you pay attention, the lanes will glitch every once in awhile and reset the pins not accordingly. I still had fun, but this place needs to freshen up soon. Bathrooms were unusually and exceptionally nice/clean. read more

Only go if there is a woman in a pink shirt at the front if there is a guy with a ponytail he's going to half ass do everything. Also don't do the 1 hour bowling there because they don't have timers at the top of the screen. read more

Two stars because Ruthie behind the snack bar was rude on more than one occasion. I get you're busy, but no need to snap when I check in on my 20 minute pretzel. Otherwise, the kids had a blast bowling and I would have given more stars! read more

I play here in a league. Place needs a major renovation. Chairs and tables are hard and wobble. Not much good food at the snack bar. Free wifi would be nice and probably attract more customers. Only reason I come here is its closest to my house. Lucky strike is much better IMO read more

Came here a few months ago for a company party, so when my husband wanted to go bowling for date night decided this would be a fun place. Cyber bowl was fun, not overly crowded (family friendly, so if you want to bring the kids out you can) and the price was beyond fair. Food is typical bowling alley food so no high expectations. Drinks were well made, nothing fancy and reasonably priced. My only issue was it was hot inside, we left earlier than we would've because of it (still stayed about an hour though). read more

Called at 9pm and asked what time they were open until tonight and the man told us midnight. We drive a half hour to get here and they are closed and dark at 10:30. read more

Typical bowling alley. It doesn't smell like smoke, which is nice. Friendly service. My main complaint is that it's HOT. I'm not sure if the a/c works. read more

This spot is definitely not covid safe. Half of the costumers don't wear masks and the maintenance man, Larry, wears his below his nose. Our first rude encourager was with Ruthie, the snack counter lady. One of the other staff at the snack bar asked if we wanted him to take our pitchers to our lane and before responding, Ruthie said "they can do it theirselves!" That was our intention but completely out of line for her to say. Larry absolutely ruined our experience at Tucson Bowl. As someone who is NOT the owner or manager, he was completely out of line during our visit. He came up to one of our guest who was underaged to scold him about throwing the ball too hard. This guest was fourteen when other people in our party were 18+. After being yelled at, he stayed behind our lane watching us for an entire hour. He also was talking with the man who gave us our bowling bowls, pointing at us and using large gestures. We were disgusted by this behavior considered half of our group was underage and the other half was barely legal and women. When confronted about this behavior, he completely denied it and said we were staring at him! I have videos of him staring straight at us. If you have a choice of where to bowl, do not go here. As young adults, it's very hard to have a good time with a man that looks like a pedophile staring down your group. Absolutely disgusted by our experience. read more

This is by far the worst bowling alley I've ever been to. To start, the website says that there is open bowling available until 6 pm but when we arrived at 4:20 to use two lanes for one hour, we were greeted rudely and told that we would have to be gone by 5 because they were booked full. After we were told we they could squeeze us in we were given the most stretched out pair of Velcro shoes I've seen. Then as I went to select a ball I was curious I had to take a double check at the lanes to see if the bowling pins were actually hammers. That is to say every single ball is covered in scars as if an angsty 14 year old smashed his step dads prized bowling ball with a hammer for a couple of hours. I really don't understand what at a bowling alley could have made those marks, as the floor and pins would just leave flat spots, but these balls were really covered in gashes. After navigating the pre- y2k computer system to put the names in I took my first shot. Now this next issue doesn't apply to everyone so take it with a grain of salt, but I prefer to put a spin on my ball to hit the pins at an angle giving me a higher chance of knocking down more pins. I threw the ball down the lane and there was more oil on it than the Middle East. No matter the amount of spin put on the ball it wouldn't curve an inch. The floor before the lanes is also dangerously slippery and the markings do not seem to be the same distance from the start of the lane as any other bowling alley I've been to. We also came with our younger cousins who needed the bumpers to help them bowl. The staff was very slow to attend to us and put the bumpers up despite there only being 5 lanes occupied at the time, two of them being ours. As he went to put the gutters up multiple of the metal arms that hold the rubber bumper up failed to go up with the system, the employee manually put them up but as soon as a ball hit them they fell again, leaving the bumper sagging and close to unoperational. Then further into the game the computer system became so messed up that at the beginning of a frame there would only be a few pins, then after throwing it would give you a full rack but you only had the second half of a frame left. The only thing that has been replaced in this place since 1980 is the monitors that display the score and the 10,000 gallons of lane oil they must sprinkle from the ceiling every night. If you are looking to bowl in the Tucson area, opt for any other bowling alley than Tucson Bowl. read more

Exactly what I want a bowling alley to look like--I hope they never update the multicolor pins outside, the weird bowling-through-history mural, or the plastic Brunswick furniture. I love the $6 bowling weekday evenings--I've been going once or twice a week lately. There's almost always a lane available and the environment is welcoming without being out of control; I never end up next to a group of people throwing the ball behind their backs, or doing the Risky Business slide out over the foul line, or otherwise forcing themselves to be the center of attention. The equipment is part of that early-90s-bowling-alley vibe, too, but it could use a little more TLC than the decor. A couple of times a night I knock a pin out into the gutter where the rake can't get to it, or nick one so that it slides just out of true and the pinsetter freezes trying to pick it up. One of the lanes put a dime-sized gash into my ball in the course of freezing up, but the staff was friendly and offered to patch it up. If the equipment were more reliable this place would be perfect. As it is, it's plenty good. read more

Good bowling for the price. Wait staff is a little rude. Large snack food menu.

Everything was great at first. We had a coupon for $10 that you can get for signing up online with your email. It wasn't too crowded. Went for cosmic bowling. Everything was great up until the last two games. Both our lane and the lane next to us had scoring problems. No matter what we bowled, our lane got a strike and the lane next to us was getting gutter balls on the scoreboard. They could also update their TV screens but that's not a huge problem. Hopefully they can figure out the scoreboards soon. read more

This bowling alley kind of looks sketchy on the outside but on the inside it is hopping with people of all ages. They had a great little snack bar and lounge. The lounge had a full bar which was pretty cool since a lot of bowling alleys I have been too only have beer and crappy malt liquor drinks. read more

Bowling was good lanes worked fine pizza is great !! the bar staff is horrible we where on lane 22 the waitress/bartender came down took our order I opened a tab with her . we where there for about 2 hours she never came back to see if we needed anything and she had my debit card you would think she would want to make money and sales . And when I went to get my card and close out my tab I asked the young lady why she did not come to check on us she said she was busy . There was no one in the bar and the bowling alley only had about 8 people you call that busy NOT !! so I told her she lost out on a lot of money for the bar and herself. to bad they better bar staff !! read more

Had a cosmic bowl birthday party here for my son, they were great. It's older and very retro, but the pizza is good and service was awesome. read more

So this one lady took my money then when another friend came she literally yelled "we don't accept your kind here" she was so offended then when i gave her money to pay for her the lady said "i called the cops we don't accept money from you people" I couldn't believe what happened and we left. Terrible place. read more

In the middle of our 2nd game of bowling, the machines kept resetting and ruining the scores of the game. The fist worker we talked to failed to inform his superior that there was an issue and then we got the superior involved because the issue continued. The superior was beyond rude and condescending and could not be taken seriously due to his hand on the hip, a superior doesn't do that btw. We had to pay almost $90 even tho the second game we played kept being reset and ruining our scores. This is the first time that my mother, a immigrant from Montenegro who has never bowled before, bowled and his rudeness and lack of education on how to run a business ruined this experience. Shame on him. Then while me and my siblings were explaining to our mother what was happening in serbo-Croatian he kept giving us dirty looks and was disgusted by the fact that we weren't speaking English so I am accusing this establishment of racism and xenophobia. Never again coming here and shame on you. read more
