Ordered the Philly cheese steak fries. Aka. Steak ums with onions and nacho cheese on fries. 13 bucks??? Awful just awful.

Didn't advertise my shows, kept my singers separate from the rest of the bowling alley. Kept the area karaoke was in, without heat so my singers were cold. canceled me right when I drove up instead of calling or messaging. didn't even let me do my last show.
This place is a joke. They had karaoke on Mondays and Tuesdays and they just got rid of both recently. All because they want people to use their karaoke room.

Very poor service, we had my daughters party there on the 20th our server kept spilling drinks on our party decorations, and was very rude towards the end. Told us she lost out on an hour of tips because of us when she had already made 300 off of our party alone even after we tried to add on more time to our event they told us no and our server told us we had to leave in the middle of my daughter opening gifts. This place is beautiful but would be better with better service. Will not be back!!!

I had a great time bowling with my pals unfortunately that over showed by the doom of bad service. They say 7 people per lane the couch seats 5 small people with two people left to stand or sit on the floor. They have a large array of food but the only table is a small coffee table you have to share with the lane next you! The food was fine everything was overpriced for us being crammed together. For luxury prices you think everyone would have a place to sit. But it took about 30 minutes to get water! We could not find our waitress Sarah the whole time we were there for two hours and I saw her twice. Then we had to ask someone to track her down so we could leave! It took them 15 minutes to even find her. We still had great time despite the conditions but it did cause some tension.

We came here for an event and there are tons of people here for the event. Office staff was spot on and addressed everybody's knees regarding food and drink. 90% of the staff were super cool. The other 10% we're just overwhelmed because there is so many people here, and that's understandable. The drinks and the food was spot on! We had an excellent time bowling in the establishment itself is clean and super cool! This is the second time that I've attended this event at this place, and they do not disappoint! If you're looking for a good time, just to get out and hit a bar, this is the place to go! If you're also looking to go, bowling, it was just fun with a very good vibe! I don't go bowling that often, but if I go again before next year, this is the place I want to go to! Check it out, and you won't be disappointed.

Been coming here almost every week for 5 years because it's close to work and used to be inexpensive. We have a whole crew that comes & spends a lot of $. I've been thinking my bills have been quite high, but last week I saw that they charged me $9 for the beers & shot I ordered for myself & friends at 4:23. When I asked about it, the manager/owner told me Happy Hour is from 4:30-7pm, and he hasn't changed his prices since January. $9 for ONE drink? Seriously? It's a bowling alley! Then I saw outside that the flashing electronic sign says Happy Hour is from 4-7. My friends & I won't be returning. What a scam! And $7 is a typical price, NOT a happy hour price! Bye! I can go ANYWHERE else for better food/drinks/service!

We really enjoyed hanging out in the restaurant and listening to The Disclaimers. It's a good place to drink, eat and listen to music. We had a burger and fries and it was delicious. The nachos and tacos were enjoyed by others at our table also. Someone else had the Hawaiian pizza but was not impressed by it. The salads looked really good also. Marcus was our server and did a great job waiting on us. They had good local beer on tap, a good selection of red wine and a full bar. Check it out; it's not just a bowling alley!

We've been here 4 times now, each time we have a very hard time getting a wait staff to notice us, we're here now as I'm writing this, we've been waiting for some kind of acknowledgement, and haven't received any. I ordered our drinks at the bar myself, the table next to us just left, new customers were seated, waitress went right over to them, oh wait, because it's a table of six, the manager is standing at the bar, also oblivious to us.. I'm sure, the waitress is ignoring all tables less than 4-5 people. Money talks lol, I am a great tipper, not tonight.

So we get there at 5:20pm! Order beer and wine. Then we want nacho platter--oops they are out of all chips, Mexican food and all appetizers.So we order a plain cheese pizza-- I remind our waitress 5 times where is the pizza. She says we are slammed. (also ordered 10 jelloshots at 630 pm and she said sold out)So at 830pm that is 3 hours I cancel the pizza and close the ticket.How pathetic is a place that advertises specials on food and runs out of virtually all by 6pm.So my ticket was $20. You lost $30-$40 of food!Don't go for food and have one drink then water!!!!
Great place for music, drinks and food. The staff and servers are awesome. The oven baked pizza was good, as was the fish n chips. The reason I bring this review down to 3 stars is the pulled pork chimichanga. They used BBQ pulled pork inside the chimichanga. Obviously this is very bad idea. It was terrible and way too sweet.

Holiday bowl is a bowling alley in Albuquerque. There are bars in the bowling alley to purchase drinks and food while you bowl. There's also an arcade area. My work had the staff party here and there was a nice sunny area ( window doors that can open up when it's nice weather outside) in front of the bowling alley for private events.

Was pleasantly surprised. First time in the service was great. Had the fish and chips and they were very good. Menu had a good selection. Bar food fare. Great full bar. Noisy as like most bowling establishments. I sat in the patio area and the noise level was almost unnoticeable. Great job I will be back.

Good side: nice lanes, good bar, decent foodDown side:1. Sitting area around lanes is cramped with no room for equipment and bowlers. 2. Price structure is out of control. Two friends and I went to bowl. We got two lanes for an hour. Holiday charged $10/lane/hour/bowler!! Total bill was $60 for ONE HOUR!I bowled league at Holiday for many years. A remodel brought in new furniture around the lanes. It's almost unusable, everyone tripping on each other, stepping on each other. My team left for another house. I miss Holiday, but the combo of crappy furniture and ridiculous prices for open bowling keeps me away.

My office loves having our team bonding events at Holiday Bowl. We come every year, and we always have a great time. We get large orders of food for our party, though the only complaint is sometimes the sliders are way undercooked and inedible, so go for the chicken quesadillas instead. Staff were great, and everything runs smoothly without issue.
