Bowlski's Lakewood Theater

Interesting alley, but a complete mess. Came to play some casual games and brought my own shoes and ball. My girlfriend used the rental shoes and got a nasty pair of worn down shoes. Told myself I probably shouldn’t be throwing my personal ball into the shotty ball return, but I did it anyway. It took one game for my ball to get stuck and eventually return with tons of chips/scratches (see photos). Overall extremely disappointing. Do not come here with your own personal gear - maybe this would be fun if you just came to drink and chuck house balls.

I had a blast here last night. I went with two friends and we had a ball, the staff were super nice, and very accommodating, the music was bumping to the 80s and I was in heaven. I will say that the balls were hella dirty coming out of the return, but there are super clean bathrooms to wash your hands in. lol I will definitely be going back, the vibe was so great, and the atmosphere was electric. Highly recommend this place if you want to have fun, chill night with friends.

I have lived close to Bowlski's for almost 3 days and just gave it a try last night and have to leave a raving review. This place is a retro time capsule, it is an old theater converted into a bowling alley - I will be coming back for the atmosphere alone. They had 80s music videos playing and the staff was super attentive. I think a lot of negative reviews are coming from a place of having extremely high expectations, this place is divey and rough around the edges so if you are expecting a perfect experience this is probably not for you. I can't wait to come back!

absolutely loved the vibes of this place! the sweet man working was so helpful, our lane had broken down & he got us to a new one so quick. if you’re looking for a good sunday afternoon bowl, definitely recommend bowlski’s!

0 stars. I visited this location with a group on 12/30/25 and had a very poor experience. The white male cashier at the front appeared completely lost and unprofessional. According to both Google and another employee, the location closes at 12:00 a.m. While playing, our lane had ongoing issues with the machine not properly setting up the cones—not a huge problem on its own. However, at 11:15 p.m., our screen clearly showed we still had 20 minutes of play time remaining, but the machine got stuck. We asked for assistance, and the cashier was extremely rude and unhelpful. He claimed our time had ended despite the screen clearly stating otherwise. What made the situation worse was that the cashier smelled strongly of marijuana, acted aggressively, and refused to help or allow us to pay for additional time. He seemed more focused on smoking and talking with his friend—both appeared visibly stoned—than assisting customers. Overall, this was a very unprofessional and unpleasant experience. Not recommended. Will like a talk with manager. Thank you

Always having lane issues and have maybe 5 lanes out of 10 working. Food is delicious bar prices are decent. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Bowlski's is so cute - I love how the Lakewood Theater has been restored! There's ample parking available; however, I went on a weekday, so not sure how the parking situation is in the evenings or on weekends. If you go there during 3 to 6 pm on weekdays, you can get the happy hour bowling rate. The staff is very friendly and accommodating! If you get hungry, you can always munch on the delicious pizza and if you're thirsty, there is a full bar available. Very fun place to go bowling!
