Pickwick Bowl

Pickwick Bowl is one of many entertainment offerings this place has to offer. This place is just okay. It has everything you need to go bowling, but the service is a bit inconsistent. I should have taken a picture of the price list, but we were in such a rush, I had forgot to snap a pic. We called the front desk and we were quoted different prices from what was actually charged once we arrived. Either way, I would say it was reasonably priced for what you get. For $10 we were given 1 hour of bowling and shoes were included. It was also cosmic bowling night, so it was pretty neat. It’s a very retro building, and everything in there felt very old. Would make for a cool 80s night. They also have a little bar with fun saloon doors. Overall I would recommend this spot if you’re in the area, looking for something fun to do. Especially when the bowling alley at round 1 is too crowded, this is a great backup plan!

Thanks to the pro shop operator for screwing up my thumb hole. Now I have to put up with blisters and gashes every league week. The rest of the place is just as rundown of an experience. My first time around I thought it could be worse, and boy was I right. This time the lanes were oily to the point where it was straight up gross. My balls felt so slick to the point where I went through an entire rosin sack. My towel looked like a mechanic's towel. The ball return tunnels seemed to be full of grease which explains why my ball always came back with black spots all over it and why my towel ended up all soiled. Won't EVER be coming back here to bowl under such deplorable lane and equipment conditons.

We love the Pickwick Bowling Center! Everyone here is great and the customer service is fantastic for bears like us! Great bowling prices and fun on Fridays and Saturdays after 9 for the "Cosmic Bowling"!!

Not the bowling alley I remember from my youth. The place is sadly sure going into decline. Our lane did not work properly and we had to keep resetting the pins so the score was not accurate. The prices are astronomical for the atmosphere provided. The bar was closed and water machine wouldn't accept cash or change so thankfully the attendant sold me a bottle of water from the bar (curiously marked $1 more than the machine itself. It was so hot I did not care, but i guess that's what they were aiming for). It is close to home which is the only reason we did not go to Glendale as their bowling alley is far superior, serving food to order and have a working bar.

Many, many good memories bowling here August 15th 2023. They're tearing the place down. History cannot save this place.

Not Safe & Rundown! Exposed electrical wires and a bathroom that looks and smells like a murder scene. No thank you! The owners should take care of this place. What a shame.

NNNOOOOOIIIIICCCCEEEE LANES (24, to be exact 😀)!!!! *Clean (facility👍), *Friendly faces (FRONT staff - restaurant cashier in the back, is always somebody rude or stupid😮), with a smile (ALWAYS), *Fun family environment 🤔(EXCEPT ,after 5p (for sure:fri&sat), when the lanes are lit up& so are the cholos,gang affiliates &stoner riff raff show up). Changes nothing for me&family, though. LOVE this place. Stay tuned, for our review of the Ice Skating Facility portion of the property. Coming, end of year!!

The best part about this place is that although many adults come here, it is still kid friendly. My 3 year old had a blast at the arcade. As for bowling, you can rent a dragon looking hill for $5 an hour which allows the little ones to have fun too. I don't normally bring her, but if I have to do it then I choose this place because she can totally enjoy it. The snacks are also pretty good, like the $3 pizza and the slushies. If I could give this place a higher rating I would. It is just one of those places you fall in love with and it never disappoints. The staff is a plus too ❤
