Our Senior Grad Night at Hometown Bowl was a huge success! The venue was the perfect place for graduates to celebrate together in a safe, fun, and energetic environment. The atmosphere was upbeat and welcoming, making it a memorable way to celebrate the Class of 2026.

Michael and staff did a phenomenal job accommodating a large group and helping everything run smoothly. The DJ kept the vibe going and played all the student's choices. Thank you for helping make Senior Grad Night such a special event. We highly recommend this venue for school celebrations and group events!

They weren’t open until 12 on the Sunday we decided to go. So we only got to play for an hour.

How are they going to tell me I need a wristband to drink alcohol an hour after I already bought my drink? They already had my money...

To make matters worse, avoid the manager because she has a bad attitude and a Napoleon complex. The rest of the staff was cool and apologetic, but have no clue what power trip their manager was on saying she would get a felony if she let it go. Chill out!

Also, if you are visiting from out of the country (even Canada), your driver's license doesn't count as proof of your age here. They want to see you physical passport, which this dual citizen didn't think he needed to carry around in his hometown. This bowling alley is more secure than Fort Knox apparently. I am 43 years old (not a teeny bopper), and just wanted to finish my White Claw. Was not planning on getting crunk or acting a fool while visiting my family over the holiday weekend. What a rip off and never coming back.

Old but okay for an occasional game with my grandsons

Bowling is fun, plenty of games to play, and has gotten me addicted to Pokémon cards 5/5

Weekend prices are cool. But the place needs some TLC. A lot of the lanes were closed and dusty and they are already a limited amount of lanes. The bowling balls need to be replaced they looked like trash, theyre all chipped, some of the tv need to be replaced. Aesthetically it looks good, but they need to oil the lanes and fix all the broken ones. This would be a good spot to drink, but the bowling is only good for drunk bowling and that’s it. Also, they don’t have the option to bumper bowl per user it’s either up for everyone or down for everyone wow other bowling alleys have the bumpers up per person food for thought customer service excellent the bowling alley just needs some TLC. At this point it might as well just be a bar.

I came here for my birthday and was really disappointed with the service. The staff member who helped me was unaccommodating, dismissive, and had no personality at all. It felt like he didn’t want to be there and certainly didn’t care that it was a special occasion for me. Customer service makes all the difference, and unfortunately, this experience made me feel unwelcome on a day that should have been fun and memorable. I won’t be coming back.

Shoes are in awful condition (soles lifting from the rest of the shoe), they put us at a lane that said out of order and just told us to take the sign off (but the lane had at least 10 malfunctions during our 1.5 games), the balls and lanes are chipped, and the dj is way too loud.

Nice place, but the balls are a little beat up. The lanes could use a good waxing. The employees are very friendly and make the experience that much better.

Terrible service. Unfriendly staff. They kick you out long before closing time.

We had an amazing time at Hometown Bowling! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with excellent customer service. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. (Stephanie and Maxine)

The atmosphere was fun and family-friendly, and the lanes were well-maintained, making for a smooth and enjoyable game. On top of that, the food was delicious far better than what you’d expect at a bowling alley! The pricing was absolutely worth it for the quality of service, food, and overall experience.

If you’re looking for a great place to bowl, eat, and enjoy a fantastic time with friends or family, Hometown Bowling is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!

Fun atmosphere, friendly service, and nice to have the option of arcade games for those who tire of bowling. Very reasonable pricing compared to venues in San Francisco proper, particularly with their Thursday night deal.
