Bowlero is more than just a bowling alley! This spot is perfect for a date night or family time! Our kids love the arcade! They've also got a sports bar, delicious food and a kids menu! We can't wait to go back again

We were visiting Santa Barbara with family and looking for a bowling alley for the kids. This place was packed during the holidays. They were able to fit us in, and we got a lane before the rush and a waitlist. They also had a small arcade for kids. It was a bit of a drive, as it doesn't look like there were many other bowling options in SB. Kids had a lot of fun and would here again if we're ever back in SB and looking for bowling.

The food and customer service has gone downhill since the transition from Zodos to Bowlero. The food takes forever to come if you are not bowling and often the order is wrong and incomplete. Today our pizza was burned, the fries tasted like old, dirty oil. They never brought our drinks. Don't eat here.

Went there for drinks and food and it was great! Angie was the server and she was so kind and great. The reason I'm writing this review is that she was so awesome and is an asset to your team. I don't even bowl but I will go back for delicious snacks and bevs and will hope to be server by Angie again soon!!! Thank you so much

Had the best night! Chidie helped us at the front desk to our lane 1! We had a hard time deciding on the the tasty drinks so we went up to Dani and asked what her favorite is. She told us the boarding pass and it was a hit! Thank you to Nicole for taking care of us for food and drinks! We will be back very soon!

Visiting from Los Angeles. Stopped by last night. This place is brand new. Staff was great. Prices for a Wednesday night were great. Bar area is spacious and has over 20 beers on tap and plenty of good liquor. Arcade area great for kids and every game was working. Televisions everywhere for adults to watch games and have beers. I tried the flat bread cheese pizza. It was good. The cheesy garlic breads we loved. Staff was great all around. The best part was the music.

Over priced. Terrible frozen food or it least that's what it tasted like. I miss Zodos and their amazing pizza .

Expensive. Food was horrible. How do you ruin 'bowling' food???? The place is completely rundown. I suggest you keep the lighting as dim as possible. Zodo's should have sold to a private owner and not a corporation. They have the monopoly in this area. Total bummer

Is this Buffalo or Goleta? Great wings, prompt lane service, bowling alleys in good condition. Couldn’t find a house ball over 14 pounds though.
This place sucks! The only reason I go there is to bowl and it's the only bowling center here in Santa Barbara. Good God, ten bucks for a bottle of beer and really crappy food. Bring back good food and well priced beer, please?

Absolutely destroyed by corporate juggernaught Bowlero. Used to be a reliable place to get some pretty good food, beers, and entertain the kids with a simple arcade and maybe a game of bowling or two. You'll now spend approximately as much here as you would taking a family of four to six flags, and you'll be served garbage food after waiting for 45 minutes. If this is the result of capitalism I'd prefer Stalin instead.

Took my boys for a midweek bowling outing and had a great time. A perfect break from summer heat. The place has been spruced up since we last visited. Looks new, clean, sleek, & ready for a busy summer season.

Our 16th Wedding Anniversary featured a surprise stop at the local Arcade at Bowlero! I wanted to make the day special for my hubs that enjoys arcades. My partner and I especially share an affinity for skeeball. A game if the ancients. So I called the venue in advance of purchasing some expensive Groupons for their "cards" that carry credits. (No nostalgic quarters or tokens or tickets these days!) The woman I talked to over the phone was "pretty sure" they had skeeball, but she said she would go check to confirm. When she returned to the phone she assured me they did indeed have skeeball. On the day of our anniversary, we walked in and we're pretty disappointed. NO skeeball as far as the eyes could see. No wooden ball. No ramp with various cylinders determining one's worth in the expanse of universe. But there was a basketball shooting game. I wanted to inform staff that not all balls are created equal. We still made the best of it-played classic air hockey, space invaders, and got down with the clowns.

The bar inside this bowling alley has been redone in the last year or so and has too many beers to list on tap. The bartenders are always friendly and love to talk, my only real complaint is that the drinks they make could be a little stronger. But, if you're in the area and want to sit back watch a game while drinking a local craft beer.......go and check it out. It's surprisingly un-bowling alley like.
