Due to the pandemic, Cloverleaf is officially closing shop permanently so I wanted to give my final goodbyes here. You were a huge part of my childhood and adulthood and I'm sure that is the same for most Fremont residents alike. I had my first ever bowling game here in elementary school, drank and bowled here when I became an adult in college, and came here with my colleagues when I got a full-time job. I will never forget any of the memories I've created. THANK YOU CLOVERLEAF FAMILY!

My friends talked me into bowling, a sport I was lousy at. Hadn't bowled since college and I was awful then. My teammate even broke a pencil cuz I was so bad. Anyway I joined just as a social get together and now I love it. I'm still a poor bowl out this place is full of supportive folk all the way. This place is generous to seniors and special needs folks. They have a program for young bowlers. From public schools to private lessons. I can't say enough about the warmth of this place. And. If you are that competitive bowler they have plenty of options. Just happy they embrace us all. This place is a treasure.

I wouldn't go to the extent of saying this is the best of the bay area (a review here says that) but it's a pretty good place to go with your family or friends or even alone to bowl. It's clean and well-organized with a nice scoring system (you can put your pic on your player chart as well as a group pic as the background pic, which is pretty cool) as well. Projection screens drop down so you can watch stuff on it while you're waiting for your turn. Drinks were well made (we had Bacardi, Red Wine, and Malibu cocktail). Can't comment too much on the food because we just ordered Onion Rings and they were delicious but greasy. A good day for me...scored a 144 with 3 strikes on the last round. Also was the Glow Bowling night! :-) All in all, a great place to go if you want some family entertainment. They seem to have large screen TVs for sports, pool tables and a nice bar...but I personally didn't use those facilities...so I can't comment on it.

It is a great late night family friendly bowling place. My husband and I just went in for a quick game before our dinner reservation.

Great family fun experience. A lot of food options from the snack bar but the chicken sandwich left much to be desired. Good fries. Nice computerized scorecard with good options such as choosing which player can use the bumper.

Great place, there is pool table, darts, and bowling. Drink prices are reasonable and staff are friendly

What a great time! I haven't been here in YEARS! The food was great, friendly staff, nice bar with ice cold glasses for your beer on tap. Huge selection of food, pizza, chicken wings, fries, mini tacos, cauliflower poppers, onion rings, egg rolls, and much more! The place was full and everyone having a great time. Definitely will go back for a nice cold beer and try to practice my game! Definitely reccomend this place if you like to bowl.

Nice cozy setup.. I would have loved if the balls were in better shape but overall good experience!

Had kids bday party there. Guest list 15+, adults & kids playing. Good service. Party helpers were on point, manager checked in. Pizza and snacks were typical-- yummy kids fare -- but that's the charm! This place is your classic, mom & pop bowling alley. Retro-classic fam fun.
TLDR: Great place to go bowling in the East Bay. -- This bowling alley seems well maintained and offers a good place for league bowlers as well as people bowling casually. I came here on a Monday afternoon and they weren't too crowded. However, be aware that they do hold several bowling leagues here and may take up the whole bowling alley. If you want to ensure you'll be able to get a lane, I'd recommend calling beforehand. I like that they have a pretty good special on certain days/times ($3.50 per game). It's hard to find good bowling alleys that provide decent prices nowadays. Shoe rentals are $5, but I always recommend to people to buy their own. Not only will you save money, but you also avoid the nasty feet fungus. They have a shop within the bowling alley and you might be able to find great deals on shoes, bowling balls, or anything else. Overall, I would definitely return to this bowling alley if I was in the area. However, it is a bit far from San Francisco to make this my main go-to place.

Family atmosphere when it comes to bowling and adult stuff in the bar if you want to. Friendly employees.

Quite honestly one of the cleanest bowling alleys I’ve ever been in. We went on a weekday, so it was pretty quite with a bunch of open lanes and a little bit of league play going on.

Been coming here for over 20 years. Family friendly spot. Prices extremely reasonable. Great way to spend a quick time to get out of the house and get warm on a chilly day. Keep this place open!

There's a lot of lanes, so I've never had to wait to play. Prices are reasonable, especially if you're playing in a group. There's a bar there and the drinks are good. There's a snack bar with a good variety of options (pizza, sandwiches, fried foods). It's a fun place to go.
