I've been going to Windsor bowl for years. I have been turned away from one of the "manager s" for no reason. My husband and I bring friends, family, and many others into the alley on a regular basis.the staff is rude and inconsistent. They decide if they want you to bowl or hang whenever it's convenient for them at the time. I have been over charged on my bar tap several times. Management is terrible. It's a shame. It's so disappointing because this is the place I bring my family and friends. No longer.... So much for supporting LOCAL. I guess I have to go to Rohnert Park. Too bad ;( The owner or some manager commented on my review stating that we were rude to their staff... The staff at Windsor bowl are terribly rude. They are inconsistent, unfriendly, change their rules everyday, they act like they're high and mighty and are all horrible people. The only one person that I've met there that is even nice at all is Greg. Everyone else is so mean. They're even rude to my 12 year old son. The manager/owner (James P.) also said in his comment on my review that I was destructive to their property. That's not true. Businesses like this should not have the opportunities to lie about patrons on Yelp. I emailed him asking what he meant by "destructive" and of course he ignored me email. I don't know how they stay in business. The bathrooms are always awful and gross, half of the sinks and toilets don't work, they're always going through some construction. It's far from what the business was like over 5 years ago. I am not sure if this guy James P. purchased the businesses in the last several years, but it used to be a great spot and used to be clean, and the staff used to be nice. This business is about customer service and these people have no clue.... It's disappointing to have such a business in a small town. read more

This place was an absolute nightmare. The staff is extremely rude and unprofessional. read more

Great time bowling with our girls basketball team. Food was a plus and delivered to us. They really wanted to take care of us. All was great until we went upstairs and the employee setting up a birthday party told our girls to quit cheering In the arcade! Seriously? One of the girls beat a high score and won 1000 tickets. 10 girls cheering is loud but... it's a friggin' arcade for crying out loud. Please re-train your employees. Thanks! read more

What a horrible experience. First off the kids running the front desk were pricks. Very unprofessional. Second thing is why the hell dont they have kid prices? They charged me the same rate for my 1.5 year old as they did me. Lastly the place is way too expensive. I bowl a lot in Auburn ca and the cost there is less than half and they are more professional there. All in all a really bad experience. read more

Went here with my nephews at noon. Half an hour in the oldest said he was hungry. Turns out that they don't start selling food until 2. I can understand that time during the school year. However during the summer it should be open at a reasonable lunch hour since there were 6 different families with multiple children complaining that they were hungry. When I asked the lady if I could go get food to bring back she said that they don't allow food from outside to be brought in, no exceptions. It's a good bowling ally just a little rough in their customer service read more

I've been bowling here for years! I love what they have done to the place. New paint, re-furbished lanes, flat screens. It needed an update and it is so much better, but it still has that old timey bowling alley feel to it. I especially like that they play classic rock most days I'm there. The bar is hasn't changed, but I like that too. If we can't get a lane we can always watch the game and play some pool. Way to go Windsor Bowl. read more

I like this place but there is an issue I want to mention. I get that if you kick out the people who have no Bowling etiquette, they may stop coming and make it harder to keep the bowling alley open. However, allowing the people with no Bowling Etiquette to negatively impact the experience of the other bowlers is going to make the people who like to bowl not want to come back. Last week was great, this week was not. I would like to suggest a program to at least inform bowlers of what Bowling Etiquette is. read more

If you don't go with expectations of a 5 star resort, Windsor Bowl is a fun place to go for a Friday night. Yes, it's divey, but isn't that part of the bowling experience? The bar is a must see - it's extremely divey and makes you feel like you've stepped out of a time machine. The snack bar makes good fries, and it's overall a fun environment. Also, the teeny boppers who go on their first dates are pretty precious to watch. read more

I have been here a total of 4 times now. The first time I went there I thought it was nice enough for a bowling alley but a little dated. The second time I went I found out they were going to be remodeling so that took care of my last impression. The last 2 times I have been I can see the results of the remodel which looks nice and They have also started doing the Rock & Bowl on Monday nights which I think is great cause there's never much to do on a Monday night read more

Nice little place. Seems like a great place for kids. I don't know for sure, but the lanes appear shorter than at Double Decker. And the lanes seem tighter than regular. Seems like the the pins are rubbery, too. read more

Not child friendly. The downstairs staff is amazing, but the upstairs employees are not good with kids at all. I would not suggest letting them go up there unless you are with them. I will be choosing a place where my children can play and have fun in the future. read more

Fun, loud dance music and laser lights energize you while tossing balls down shiny, lighted lanes. Monday nights are bargain night making this time honored past time family budget friendly. Didn't eat here so can't speak to food but service was friendly and fast at desk. Bathroom decently clean too. read more

This is a nice place to bowl and the staff has always been friendly and helpful. It can be difficult to get a lane if you go on a league night, but that is the same everywhere. The food is decent for a bowling alley, I like the chicken Ceasar salad and the fries, Pizza is pretty good too. read more

Fat guy with the beard behind the counter is a dick. Rude and unprofessional. Double Decker in RP is better but this one's closer. Food court guys are really nice and courteous and not on their phones the whole time like the counter read more

As far as I am concerned, Windsor Bowl is the best bowling alley in Sonoma County. Jaime, the owner was over the top helpful in purchasing, drilling and providing time supporting me in learning how to use my new ball. Patience and expertise describe Jaime. Theresa and staff are all GREAT and add to the bowling experience. You can't beat the small town, old school feel. Prices are great- alley is always clean. They also support students with disabilities (yay!) and senior bowlers during weekdays. Kudos to Windsor Bowl. read more

Enter at your own risk. If you are from out of town go away. Very rude bartender that clearly does not like non regulars. The customers though were friendly. read more

10/10 the nice workers gave us our money back after our friends made us leave because of their religion

Escape rooms were the most fun I've had in a long time. Challenging, engaging, and exciting enough that adults cheered at the end of the hour! Great way to spend an hour with friends or family! read more

Windsor Bowl - Bowling Near Me - Windsor, California

Waiting 45 minutes for overpriced, substandard food is ridiculous. Do not go here and order anything to eat. The 7 dollar nachos had stale chips... come on. If you can't get nachos right just give up already. read more

I must respond to this Tracy A. person. IT'S A BOWLING ALLEY, HELLO!!! Windsor Lanes is just fine if you are looking to go bowling while you are in the north bay. The couple times that I've been there it was a younger crowd (early 20's to late 30's) and it was a fun night. Not everything is geared toward the winery tourism here in "wine country". Boy that's too much!! Staying at the Holiday Inn Express and then knocking a perfectly good Bowling Alley for being what it's supposed to be. GET A CLUE, ORDER A COLD BEER, AND BOWL!! read more

We come here often with our family and every single time we are told there are no lanes because someone has reservations yet when we call to make reservations we are told they don't make reservations! When we question them they always have a different answer about how you can reserve lanes. We wait 1.5 hours for lanes with kids just to get told " oh sorry someone else reserved 4 lanes it's going to be 2 more hours!!!!! It's very disappointing to have a fun place with such horrible service! Go to Double Decker in rp. Farther drive but worth it for the service! read more

I took my Girl Scout Troop here and they had a great time. They were not able to complete the room, but they had fun trying. This is a great business with a variety of activities for all ages to enjoy. The only party we didn't love was the "locker room" smell that overtook is as we entered the building...maybe they need to rethink their ventilation system? read more

Boy does this place suck!! Talk about a poor excuse for a bowling alley. Too small, too old and the lanes are crappy.

It's a small town bowling alley. It serves it's purpose and it certainly isn't pretty but they play Boston's 'more than a feeling'........

We are staying right next door to this place at the Holiday Inn Express. I was totally tempted to check this place out because on the outside it says BAR, BOWL, CAFE. How can I resist? After taking a tour of the place, I realized it totally sucked. Maybe if I wasn't in beautiful wine country but in some po-dunk outter skirts town, a place like this would seem appealing but not here, not now. read more

Friday afternoon teen bowling bday party yesterday. Kids had fun, folks had fun. There is a real watering hole for those interested. Pizza was hot and tasty. It seemed safe and there was plenty of parking. The lanes were clean and serviced. So yeah, four stars, bowling alley scale. I just can't get persnickety about reviewing a bowling alley. They are inherently casual, goes with the territory. What I love about bowling is that anyone can have fun socializing and it is more active than the kids hanging out on their video games. We would definitely go back. read more

Its a bowling place. Not high tech or fancy. Bar staff is friendly and make some good drinks.

I didn't even make it into the door! I live in Windsor and love this town. Its very small, friendly and family oriented, so I figured our local bowling center would be the same. I called for information about booking an upcoming birthday party and ended up dealing with one rude person after another before getting hung up on. They lost my business before they even had it. read more

I really like bowling here! The staff is very friendly and the lanes are very nice! They just remodeled and added new lanes, carpets, and paint! The place looks brand new! The new lanes seem to be higher scoring too! They have lots of leagues for every kind of bowler! The snack bar is nice too! Quick service and the food was good! I really enjoy Mondays deal. 2 hours and shoes for only $9. That starts at 5pm and then around 6 or 7 they turn the black lights on and it's rock in glow time! I really enjoy bowling during rock in glow hours! It's a lot of fun! The balls glow in the dark too! And the kids love it! Good job windsor bowl on the remodel and I will be back! read more

This is a great place to hang out. They've totally remodeled, so it looks fantastic! They have an awesome cafe menu and fully stocked bar, pool tables, and of course bowling. It's a lot of fun when they have rock and glow, and the employees they have now are very helpful. read more

Fun for adults and kids. I like that there aren't giant TVs everywhere like at some bowling alleys. If I go in a group it's more fun to participate together than stare at screens which we could do from home. Staff is polite, there's a small cafe (I think chicken, fries, pizza...) on the first floor and mini golf upstairs. read more

Been bowling here in a league since 2006. It's a good bowling center just wish they would update there scoring computers there so outdated and confusing read more

Windsor bowl is a fun family friendly place! They recently remodeled & updated some stuff as well. Every time I have gone all the staff has been super nice & helpful with my kids & I. I also appreciate that they are part of the kidsbowlfree. At night they turn lights on, which my kids love & always have fun music playing. They also have alcohol for the adults. Definitely my favorite place to bowl. read more

Our company had a department outing at Windsor Bowl on 10/24/18. The staff was very helpful and we were warmly welcomed. We also played the miniature golf upstairs after bowling. It was a Halloween theme so I wore my 20+ year favorite "Ghost" earrings that have a special meaning to me. As it turned out, one of my earrings fell off and after looking for it I (we) did not find it. I left my name and number at the front desk feeling it probably was lost. To my delight, I received a phone call not once, but twice the following day to advise that my little "Ghost" earring had been found and was waiting for me at their front desk. Thank you to Theresa and all the staff at Windsor Bowl for their perseverance and kindness in locating and returning my simple but special earring. I (we) will return for more fun at the Windsor Bowl! read more

Another situation where people kinda get what you expect from a bowling alley. It's not superstar great like a Lucky Strike, but we're in Windsor & it's a good level bowling alley. The food is decent and/or what's to be expected in an "old school" ish bowling alley...things could be upgraded, improved, yadda yadda but then again it's still bowling. Part of the fun in many occasions is the fact that bowling is kinda dated & comes w/ the stigma of still being a hobby (not a sport) consisting of mostly guys rolling balls down a lane quickly so they can sit down & continue drinking beer. It's good fun all around, comes laded with beer, burgers, fries & sodas, and will probably make your feet stink...ok, that part sucks but it's still fun to bowl, damit! read more

One of the very few activities in Windsor, but always a good time. A good go to spot to hang out with friend or family. Has a well stocked bar and friendly staff. i have a couple family members who bowl league here and they love it, i might try summer league. read more

Our go-to bowling alley in Sonoma County. Low-key, easy going place. Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable prices.

Attended a Mother-Son event here over the weekend. We had a group of 50 people bowling. The event was so much fun! The staff was attentive, the food was yummy and the service was excellent. Going to plan my son's birthday party here. Will definitely be back and hope this event is an annual one! read more

I'm a local business owner myself and the fact that any business owner that has been able to stay open through these times is a feat in it self. What can I say, Windsor Bowl is clean, the staff is nice and food is good. Yes a bit outdated but has a nice homely feel to it. I'll go back. P.S. A I has to be a disgruntled employee! read more

Yeeeeeee this place is well littttttt. Slide through, Mondays are great because they offer a discount for unlimited bowling games after paying for one! It's all wood. read more
