Hometown Bowl

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.

Didn't take reservations over phone. They said they were all booked for a party even though all the lanes were open, and no sign of any people. (See pic.) Food was slow. Generally unfriendly. Would not come back.

$40 per hour was a little pricey but we split with friends so I guess it’s not too bad that way but not optimal for smaller parties. They have a full bar which was cool and they serve food but it closes pretty early around 9/9:30 can’t remember. At least they let you DoorDash food so that was cool. There’s music playing and it seems on Sunday brunch they’ll have football, wish I lived closer! lol we had a great time overall.

I was here on Sunday to watch football and drink beer. The Budweisers were $5, and I got a free one from Mark, who also readily kept my water filled and was congenial in our discussions. Other staff was also polite. Will definitely be back.

I attended a private party there. The fried chicken wings were great, as well as the French fries. Then we bowled in the noisy neon-lit alleys. It was very fun!

BEWARE!The bar will add fees and add more tip $ than you left.They charged me $4 more on top of what I was charged and when I left a $3 tip they charged me $25 for the tip.I called the manager (I didn’t get her name) but she was very rude and told me she would look into it. 2 days passed and she didn’t call me back or did anything about the situation.Something sketchy is happening in the bar so be sure to keep a receipt copy for these shady people!

I came on a rainy Sunday. It was pretty busy. I was kindly assisted with getting a lane by a very friendly and patient young lady.
Unfortunately, there aren't many lanes and I was told some are out of order. Despite the fact I was there a good 20 minutes and it appeared there was a lane or 2 available, the wait was approx 1 hour.
Bowling is by the hour only, which isn't a problem at all. I believe it was $40 for the hour and $5 for shoes, if needed and $1 for a ball.

Do not book/reservation. I made a reservation the on a Tuesday. When I submitting its said they will be contact with in 24-48hrs, NOTHING!! I called Thursday and some lady said that the person in charge of the reservations was pretty backed up and that I should receive an email that night or maybe the following morning. Still no call no email back from them. So I called them again Friday. The guy said make another reservation and he'll make sure to make a note so I can be on the top of list and to call back at 830 when the person incharge comes in. I called at 900 and got busy signal. I finally got someone.they out me on hold for 5 mins and hung up.uck that place.

Fun place, would go again

Good deal for Thursdays!!Good music and friendly stuff!!

Awesome place! Just wish the lanes were more oiled when I went with friends

It was a nice place, the food was amazing! They had toddler size shoes c7 which was rare to find at other places. Arcade and pool tables were a plus.

I don’t review places often but this place was horrible.My brother was racially profiled and accused of carrying beer but he didn’t have anything.We were not allowed to get bowling shoes because they were ‘out of shoes’. What bowling place runs out of shoes?Bathrooms were gross.Staff is unfriendly and rude.Don’t bring your family here, they don’t deserve your business.

Lanes were clearly not oiled or maintained properly because when you bowl straight down the middle, the ball goes all the way to the left. I had to bowl from the far right just to get the ball to go down to middle, which was ridiculous. If you want to go here and not really bowl, this is the place, but if you're actually a bowler like my husband, this isn't the place for you.
