I came here with a group of friends for my birthday and had such a great time. Nae and Anthony were so incredibly helpful and kind and made our experience what it was. The food was great and they had decorated the lanes for my birthday. Definitely planning on returning!

Service is always great here. Server Matt was precise and attentive. Food was great and they had drink specials. Even if the wait for bowling ends up. You have entertainment and good atmosphere. We didn’t mind the wait , we ate and had a couple drinks

I totally enjoyed my time at Bowlero! My company had a Holiday bowling event here and I handled the process with Victoria who was patient and knowledgeable. We were working with a specific budget and any changes or concerns I had Victoria answered them expeditiously. She was always pleasant during our conversations. Once we arrived at the bowling alley, everyone was very attentive. They assigned a team to us that handled putting out our food and tending to our drinks and such. The food flowed the drinks were drank and the bowling balls made a roar down the lanes. I havent seen the team this excited in a long time! We will definitely do another event here if the time comes.

A close friend and I went here this past Sunday for girls day. Originally I purchased two tickets on Groupon and disclaimer; Do not buy tickets from Groupon and go the same day because theres a 24 hour wait after purchase. So we ended up buying again to bowl and the shoe rental which were cheap. Anyways, we had so much fun! Our server was Ian, he was awesome, attentive, and made us comfortable. There is a really cool arcade too. Lots of places to take cute pictures. The drinks were 10/10 and the food was alright.

Came for a work event that had food and beverage included as well as a few hours worth of bowling.The service was top notch. Our server kept coming back to check in on us.The facilities were nice. Only comments were that the shoes should be better inspected for things like poor laces. The lanes we were at also didnt have a working air vent to cool off our hands.Otherwise the food and drink was all typical bar food, and what youd expect. Nothing gourmet, but it all hit the spot.

Bowling in the heart of Times Square.I believe the place is a fairly new location.The staff was nice and the place was clean, we ordered nachos and beer and the size was very large.Nothing stands out, but the place is more than adequate if you are in the mood to bowl near Times Square.

Shout out to Brandon and the Bowlero family! The Best Host! Last night the company I work for celebrated our Christmas party here at Bowlero. Brandon was nothing short of magnificent and held it down for 20 of us. There were no complaints at all. We really enjoyed your kindness and hard work. Joanna Director of Sales also made the process so easy getting this event together. Pleasure working with you as well! Happy holidays Brandon and Joanna! PSA: The food is amazing! The steak and scampi skewers did it for me!!

Very fun place, right in the middle of the city! Two floors of bowling + an arcade. Great spot for a birthday party or just a fun night out! Prices are reasonable and they serve drinks and food. Highly recommend!

I attended with my job. The place is very nice and clean. I enjoyed myself. The pizza was delicious. I would definitely go back again. The staff was professional and friendly. I noticed when leaving the establishment they had the scanning machine up for customers who attended later at night. Our bowing game started at 7pm and ended at 9pm.

We stopped in waiting on our dinner reservation, it said huge arcade. Unfortunately it wasnt exactly huge. The games cost quite a bit per play but 30$ did last us about 45 minutes. The ticket pay out isnt terrible. The prizes are actually decent and okay on ticket prices. The bowling alley is clearly the main attraction, as it should be, and it was amazing. They have a full bar in the arcade area which was really nice and clean.

I came in for Monday night unlimited bowling & the manager didn’t know what time it started which took 5 mins to figure out ! The manager NAE Tried to communicate w Caesar if lane 36 was closed out and ready for seating , however Caesar didn’t have his headset w him this shift which is suppose to be the standard before he even gets on the floor ! She called and asked the same question 4 times so I took it upon my self to lead by example and go upstairs and speak w Caesar directly ! After I found Caesar which took me 2 mins , I proceeded to communicate w Caesar that his manager is calling you about lane 36 and he replied thank u and he immediately radioed her back giving her the confirmation she needed ! When I came back down stairs NAE had a nasty attitude and asked me “DO YOU WORK HERE OR SOMETHING “ I replied no & said however I lead a building on W57th st Look cinemas dine in & I know how the business in this type of industry works ! Bottom line NAE your hospitality really sucked tonight & im sure your going to work on that as a leader and as a face for bowlero ! Caesar your service tonight was trash , it took you 25 mins to get me a simple honey mustard ! I had to come to ask about it on 3 occasions ! You gave me honey mustard when the fries where gone ! Great service DUDE !! It was a slow night for you guys and so there’s no excuse on why you couldn’t give us a 5 star service! I send you guys abundance prosperity & growth in all you endeavors! Thank you anyway for doing your best tonight ! I’ll be back :)

Review №17

This place has really gone down in customer service the past year…… they used to be very friendly, inviting and respectful. Now all you get is rude fake tough guy security (desperately needs a refresher course in manners) and the nonchalant or I don’t care attitude by the front desk. The all of a sudden attitude to patrons with Groupons (purposely making us wait for more than a few hours) the last few times is annoying and unnecessary. I was there last night with my family (as we are frequent regulars over the years) about 5 and had to wait (because of Groupon) for over 3 hours while we spend spend spend and they suck up to “non groupon users” even though the place looked lite for a Wednesday…… between that and the fake tough guy security downstairs (laughable) playing like a wanna be club bouncer in a “bowling place” (news flash they not paying you enough clown) My days here are more than likely over. 360 BOWL here we come!!!

Bowlero Times Square is a excellent destination to bowl while in Manhattan. They have a cheap arcade and friendly staff. They put my friend and me in a semi-private area and we were offered free soda. As with everything in New York $20 for a single game is expensive, but with all things considered it was worthwhile.

This was one of the best family bowling games we’ve had. They have different themed lanes and a good arcade. It’s reasonably priced and the food and drinks are great value. Definitely worth having the pizza deal. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a family activity in central NYC.

One of the best bowling alleys. Food is great, the pita with hummus is some of the best stuff Ive ever had. I would also recommend the Margherita pizza. Staff is exceptional, very willing to help and get information about ingredients in food for dietary restrictions and their service in general is really good. Great for office parties, or with friends/family. Had a lot of fun, they also have a pretty cool arcade. Definitely recommend this place for a great time.

I bought a Groupon for my kids and I and we decided to go on 06/27/2024. When we got there, we were told they were having a corporate event and the attendant said that it would take up to two hours for a wait and that if we wanted to, we could come back a later date and they would honor our Groupon even though it was expired. However, when we returned on 7/1/24, we were told that they dont accept Groupon anymore, so we were given the cash value of our groupon even though the cashier said they would honor our groupon so instead of getting unlimited games for 3 hours we only got 1 game. We were highly disappointed as we travelled over an hour to visit this venue.

A few days ago we were having a good time at the Times Square Bowling , where we enjoyed games and a variety of drinks and snacks. I loved the atmosphere and the good attention of the staff. Junior was our patron and we received very good attention and recommendations from him when it came to enjoying the food and drinks, always very attentive and courteous, I recommend that you look for him to make your stay the best. I am sure we will return here.

I just wanna start off by saying the customer service here was absolutely top tier ! My reservation was for 4pm and I was on my lane at 4pm sharp. My server was Cesar and he was amazing and so attentive! I was never with out a drink in hand ! I also want to point out my host and the operations manager! I am someone who comes from a hospitality background and I truly appreciated the fact that both party’s continued to ask me if I was doing okay. They were more than willing to make my experience amazing ! Which I appreciate greatly! Host irie & operations manager Nae were absolutely amazing ! I appreciate the hospitality greatly and I will definitely be back because of them! I don’t do reviews at all but I could not leave with out making this one because I absolutely enjoyed my experience! Thank you too everyone who assisted me !

This is a pretty fun place to bowl. The ambience is cool and I was pretty blown away by the staff – –Jamal and Nae were incredibly helpful and everybody was nice.It’s not perfect; Lane 15 is convex and my son wished the video games were more exciting.That said, it felt authentic in way much of time Square does not.

Went here for my very first date here with my boyfriend, so Im a little bit biased, but I really do enjoy coming here. Downstairs you go through security and they dont allow you to bring up any food, so they make sure they give you a tag to pick it up before you leave. Once you go upstairs you pick up some shoes and youre ready to start bowling! They have different New York teams around each little bowling area so the decor is very on point. We went recently on Sunday after 8 PM which was Sunday Funday and it was a little bit cheaper. We were in the Chinatown area and from there it just like any bowling alley.They have a decent menu options for snacks, though my favorite are the nachos. They also have an arcade as well so you can play some arcade games before or after bowling.Bowlero is a great spot. Its biggest con is how expensive it can be. My recommendation is to come on Sunday after 8 PM or on Wednesdays for half price Wednesdays.If it helps, two games of bowling for two people, including shoes, ended up being about $53, and that was after 8 PM on a Sunday where the prices are a little lower.

I enjoyed 1.5 hours of bowling, bottle of wine, sampler tray and free shoe rental. The staff was so attentive. The alley where I bowled was very intimate and cozy. Dim lights, cool music and Goonies playing on a big screen by the pins. I truly enjoyed myself and would definitely come back.

Good, but when the couple live the space next to me, they only clean the table (NOT THE CHAIRS, NOT THE BOWLING BALLS, NOT THE SEPARATION PLASTIC). In the another line next too us arrive a big group without masks, and without separation with plastic or other thing. I love the place, I love the guys that attended Us (receptionist, cashier, waiter). My order (food) come wrong, but this things happen something and its okay (they fixed it). $60 entrance for 3 and $60 fr food.

Such a cool and unique bowling alley. Prices are a little bit expensive and if two people fold two games you can charge for four games which is a little surprising but otherwise a great time

Review №88

I mean its a bowling alley in the middle of the city. Food is okay, its a bowling alley dont expect anything gourmet. But it was a fun time, admittedly a number of the balls seemed pretty jacked up but didnt seem much worse than your average run of the mill bowling lane. Overall if youre gonna bowl and happen to be around time square its a fine spot. Personally still prefer to bowl in like a queens middle of nowhere alley, but its fine.

Review №89

If I could give zero stars I would. First of all, when you call the phone number it does NOT go to the registration desk, it goes down to the bottom lobby and those people are the most unhelpful security officers I’ve ever met.My friends and I had a Groupon to go bowling and we wanted to know if there was lane availability since they don’t have reservations only walk-ins. When we call the phone number, the security guard picks up and tells us that he doesn’t know because he’s downstairs and he can’t check because he’s not allowed to leave. Now what is the purpose of giving him the main telephone line if he can’t answer any questions about the alley itself?When we got to the location, they were making an unfortunate family of four dump out All of their food. I imagine they were tourists or a family on a day trip but they were made to dump EVERYTHING out of their bags, and it was truly awful seeing all that food go to waste. But whatever, company policies are policies. The problem was the complete and utter lack of empathy these lobby people had for the group. And this extended to my friends and I as well. We went out for food right before bowling, and so we had leftover water and chicken-over-rice in our bags. At this point they gave me the nastiest look and told me I couldn’t enter without throwing out my water. No sympathy just a stone face, and so they threw out my (basically full) water bottles into the trash. I get they want you to buy alcohol and water from the bowling alley, but this is just a little too much greed for already pricey bowling tickets.At this point my friends and I contemplate if it’s even worth it to throw away their leftovers for a bowling alley that can’t even confirm if there’s lane availability. But we came all this way and have been trying to plan a bowling trip for a few months now. After some thinking we decide surely it cannot be that full on a Tuesday night, right? We were very wrong.We get to the alley and they tell us it’s an hour wait. Now if we knew this information before entering the bowling alley we would have either a) finished our food elsewhere before coming in or b) not have gone in at all and lost our stuff.I’ve never had such an awful experience bowling before. Do NOT waste your time here unless you have nothing on your person and time to kill. And even then, you’d probably only enjoy it if you’re a tourist.

Beware of their Groupon vouchers! Theres no guarantee youll be able to secure a lane since you cant make reservations with it. Youre literally placed at the bottom of the barrel and might have to wait 2-4 hours to bowl. There are definitely better options in the city, spend your money elsewhere!

Very crowded place, alcohol is served here and side dishes like pizza and chicken wings. Soft drinks are available. Metal detectors and security guards will check your belongings before entering the establishment but allow people to bring drugs inside I had a small bad experience I witness customers rolling Marijuana next to us and they were very drunk we move from that tables to another area which it was less crowded and more family friendly. The tickets for bowling are expensive per person. You have to pay for parking because it is inside Chelsea Piers very expensive parking. Plenty of parking available. They have games. You have to pay for a game card to be able to play. My special needs teenager had a great time. Due to high cost we might visit in a few years. I dont recommend this place for minor children. For teenagers and adults, it is great. They made accommodations for my disabled teenager after our request for no drugs less crowded table. They gave us another better option without no hesitation it worked out well. Otherwise, we had a good time.

Nice bowling place, balls were old and bumpy however. We were three persons, two on sightseeing pass and our daughter was extra. I think that what she had to pay extra is extraordinary expensive (21$ for one play and 8$ for the shoes!). If these are the normal rates... wow

Review №130

The bowling is fun and the space itself is great. However, the service is awful. The upstairs space is clearly understaffed, but we waited over an hour for drinks. Our waitress ignored us save for one time about 45 minutes into our wait for drinks. She was exceptionally rude, asked us why we didnt just wait at the bar for our drinks (probably because we waited 25 minutes to even order at the bar and didnt want to wait longer), and was incredibly rude to our friend. After being asked if they still had orange juice at the bar, the waitress rolled her eyes and stormed away. We werent even rude, we were polite and understanding of them being short staffed, so I dont understand the attitude. She then VERY loudly mocked us to the bartender, which we could all hear. After that, it was another 30 minutes until we got our drinks, all the while we could see her bringing drink after drink to other tables.Overall, really awful experience and we certainly wont be back.

Review №136

We were invited to a birthday party for my sons friend. I found out that this was a reboot of the old Bowlmor lanes. The place is cavernous with plenty of things to do besides bowl. There are restaurants, a bar, a lounge that plays old movies, and an arcade. The bowling lanes are private as you book parties within your group. It is more of a club/lounge atmosphere than a bowling alley, reminiscent of the old Bowlmor Lanes in the East Village.The food is ok. Nothing special. Standard bar food. I cannot comment on the price because I didnt pay for it. The same goes with the price to bowl. The price of the arcade games are a little pricey but not anything outrageous. The prizes are standard, similar to Dave and Busters, which is nearby.The one thing I loved there was the staff who work at the arcade, particularly Jesus. My son was having a full meltdown after dealing with some sensory overload, being tired, and having a difficult time choosing what prize he wanted with the minimal points he had. Jesus was so understanding with my son, and I was so impressed with this that we returned, not to bowl, but to go back to the arcade, and I personally found him to thank him. If the management is reading this, please make sure you acknowledge the staff at the arcade.The one negative I have about this place is the decor. I get it. It is supposed to be kitschy. Remember that cheesy, pan-Asian restaurant in the Upper West Side/Midtown West that was supposed to pay homage to Boston restauranteur, Ruby Foo? That is what you get but even worse. Then, there is the massage parlor sign I saw that really annoyed me. It played into every fetishizing stereotype of East and Southeast Asian women. Please do better and dont give in to these tropes just to make a quick buck.​

Super organisation! A nice place to celebrate birthdays. The food is awesome, you should try the cheese pizza. For my daughters birthday, they suggest a cake from an outside bakery that prepare birthday cakes for them. We just chose the design and flavor. Everything was there on time. The place clean, the food and brinks started to be served once the guests were there. The service is very good.you have someone dedicated for the party.

I took my daughter a short while ago just because we had some free time, and I’m so glad we did. We had a great time, and our server, Nyashia, was an absolute delight. She was very friendly, attentive, and efficient. She carries herself well and my daughter found her hilarious. She’s easily one of the best servers I’ve had at any establishment in a good while. I hope to return soon, and when I do I hope my server is just as good as Nyashia if not Nyashia herself. 10/10 service.

Nice facility. The bowling was fun because our family dynamic, but the service at our lane was beyond not existent, it was insulting. We had Lane 42 for two hours & 90 mins into our time, we had not been visited once by the server in our section (despite us asking Kaleef & another staff/manager-looking person about why we hadnt been served). So we had to leave our lane to repeatedly visit the bar to get our own drinks & food. To add insult to injury, the non-serving server barreled through Our lane to serve the brand new people who showed up to Lane 40 & took their order within the first 10 seconds of them being there & he didnt even glance in our direction to ask if we needed anything. He walked through our lane with his head down 3 more times after that. I dont know why we were deliberately mistreated this way, but definitely not going back.

The place is nice but had a horrible experience in the beginning.

If you dont make reservations to play consider your chances of playing slim to none. We had 60 people ahead of us and we werent there late. We couldnt wait anymore, so we left.

We reserved 4 - 6 but arrived a bit late around 4:10. We waited around 10 mins to be checked in. So I asked when will our lane be closed? 6 or 6:20? Because we didn’t start until 4:20. They said 6:20 but the lane closed at 6. Also a mechanic issue happened during our time so we waited around 10 -15 mins for it to be fixed. We payed for 2 hours but played only 1.5 tops. But overall pretty good. Will be better if we can be checked in faster and play the full time. We also enjoyed the arcade, a lot of game choices. Really cool.

For the price that was asked, the experience did not meet expectations. Service was slow to serve and the actual lane had a malfunction causing us to be late for dinner reservations. The website allows for 10 people (we were six) to a lane and the expectations was that the lane would be bigger with more room to accommodate a larger group.We paid in total around $380 for 2 hours of bowling. I dont think ill be coming back any time soon. I think New York, especially Times Square could do better with the space this place take up.

Review №195

The waitress/bartender & staff are very accommodating however if you dont have a reservation dont think your going to bowl. They have a waiting list however, we ate, drank, played arcade games & was back at the hotel when we received the text 2.5 hours later that our lanes were ready lol obviously we didnt go back. Food was affordable if you book online they automatically charge you $30pp for food whether you use it or not. It remains a credit but it should be my choice if I want to eat or not, we spent $42 on our meal at the bar which means we would have had a credit that went unused as we have no intention on going back in the near future.
