Bowlero Lakeside

Place is unfathomably bad. Everything costs 2-3x what other places do. $5-7 games daily is laughable. Automatic 18% gratuity added to every tab. The lanes are horrible, no pop to the pins or lanes. Paint is still not done after 2 years. Blue tape and unfinished walls all around. Stay away from this place. Others in the area are much better.

I love the league I play at Lakeside near Valley Park, MO. There is no money or trophies involved. However, there is the competition of trying to beat the other teams! Lousy Bowlers!

Just visited for the first time, and I want to say upfront that if you come here ONLY to bowl, then it’s maybe worth a 3 star rating. However, if, like my husband and I, you saw the website and thought you’d be walking into an upscale, well-cared for bowling alley and arcade for your second date night away from home since your baby was born, well, you’d be wrong. This place is NOTHING like the website, so much so that it made us laugh when we walked in, and I actually thought we made a mistake thinking the Bowlero online was this one, but I’ve checked 3 times now, and this actually is the bowling alley listed on bowlero.com (out of paranoia before posting this review, I checked my receipts because I’m still in a bit of disbelief…they say Bowlero and Brunswick Zone). It’s mostly an old, rundown bowling alley with a new bar (the bar literally looks like it was pulled from somewhere else). I should have taken more photos, but I didn’t want to have my phone out while my hubby and I were ha
