Super good and such friendly service.... All the kids had a blast too.... We showed up just before closing but everyone was patient and did not make our party of 18 feel rushed.

Such a great venue! Theres lots of space for bowling, shooting pool, playing video games, eating, and drinking. Theres also a few private rooms as well. Staff was friendly and place was clean. I look forward to hanging out here again soon!

Brewcade is cool, I went a few times and had a decent time. A lot of the games just arent that interesting, its a bit like stepping back in time but to the 80s, when games werent quite that well developed. If you love retro gaming youll have fun.

Today was my first time here and my family and I loved it ! It has everything in one spot. It has pool tables, darts, and an arcade! The food and service is quick and tasty. The manager is such a great guy and the staff was friendly. Definitely returning for more fun and games!

Needed a minor repair on my Mercedes. Joseph Ng is the manager and he did the work on the same day...to my total satisfaction.Cant recommend this auto body shop more highly than excellent!

Worst experience ever. Paid for a birthday party and cant get my money back for a party that I never got to have here. Due to Covid 19. $800. DAMN SHAME! Down the dawn drain very heartbreaking.

Loved it... Give five stars for service... However bowling prices need to go downI would spend twice the money and go twice as often if it was more affordable... 50 an hour is too much

Drinks are expensive but its expected to be with the location of lovely downtown Los Angeles as X-Lanes home. Ive enjoyed many weekend nights here having fun with friends at their pool tables. Pitchers of beer are delicious, waitresses/hostesses are friendly and fast to pick up old or discarded items. Its nice to have fun in this atmosphere without an overbearing crush of people. I recommend playing some pool here.

Bowling is okay here but it has a huge arcade which is surprising. Lots of game and some are as cheap as 25 cents. The food here is okay, not the best. A little pricey for what u get.

Review №14

I super enjoy the 4 hour parking validation that they give and how you can stack validations. It is also located in an asian mall. Its not the nicest or cleanest looking mall but there are a lot of good places to eat if you dont want to eat at xlanes. However you cannot bring outside food or drinks into xlanes.

I absolutely love this place. I come to play pool, drink, and occasionally play some of the games. The food is amazing. The employees are friendly and place is always clean.

Nice cheap bowling alley, the arcade is fun to hang out with friends and they do include food services.

Review №18

I Definitely enjoyed spending my money on game cards to play in the Arcade with a group of friends, although the best part is the wide variety of out of service games and on top of that, I wasnt able to spend any money at all due to the unavailable out of service games. On top of that this place has a no refund policy, so in other words I got screwed. If you want to have fun with friends and share a couple drinks, go to Dave & Busters the selection is bigger and have the latest, dont get robbed here.

My Birthday celebration with my cousin, friends & coworkers. WE HAD A BLAST!!!!!!! I Dont sing but forced to karaoke. LMAO. Bowling took too long. So we shut down the place with Jump Jump kris Kross & Scooby Snacks. Loved them all. Prior to that the arcade was amazing. Everyone should check it out. VEGGIE pizza was good & Calamari etc. I just enjoyed it all. Fun place.

We get here. You have to buy a game card for $1 and then you can add amount of money and you slide card to play. My only problem is most of the damn games are OUT OF ORDER!! Waste of time. They need to service these games or put an out of order sign on the screen. Welp I dont think we will be back any time soon.

Review №22

Lanes were open, but we were told they were already paid for. Same lanes were still open an hour after we got there. We were waiting in the arcade area where half of the machines were out of order, and the VR games are a special extra paid item for some reason. You dont just pay the fee for the game; you have to buy a special wrist band even just to be about to pay for each game. We ended up leaving because we still didnt get a lane after waiting over an hour.

XLanes is a fun place to play pool, bowl, and video games. The bartenders are really cool, too, and they make watching sports on the multiple big screen TVs a very enjoyable experience.

Be careful of this establishment. They allowed someone to steal my credit card information and charged close to $500 worth of unauthorized transactions. Several transacions in one day. I live in Ohio so I dont know how were able to put it through.

Review №26

Good parmesan fries and the lanes were nice.They force you to pay for raggedy bowling shoes. Seems as if they went and purchased old shoes from some junk yard. I just refuse to believe this happened over time by just bowling and if so they need to realize when to cut their losses. You pay all this money to bowl and in return they dont have the decency to have presentable shoes.

Wish it had a bigger arcade section but the VR experience and the vibe itself made up for it.

Went on a Tuesday at 9pm. The games are better than most barcades however there where many that where shut down and u fortunately the air hockey is still out of order. (Has been for over a month) There is a really bad smell around the bar area. (They should work on that)

Review №36

Very annoying and restrictive entrance ID policy. The policy is as complicated and irritating as it is random. Lost all my friends and my business FOREVER and no doubt many others.One of the bouncers was kind and respectful but the others were extremely rude and aggressive.ID is required at a certain time regardless of age.Then an hour later ID and 18+ can only get in. But they dont remove any kids under 18. I can not imagine why they would turn away potential customers.Then another hour later its ID and 21+ yet they still dont remover anyone so its not like theres a reason people under 21 arent allowed.And on top of all this, its an arcade bowling alley. I cannot FATHOM what idiot came up with that policy. It is almost as if they want to lose money and business.

The video games and bowling are awesome here! Just talk to the clerk and give them some cash so you can get a credits card. The lanes are dope and the atmosphere is pretty dank for an arcade feel. Worth a trip with friends and family.

Rude staff. They aren’t as attentive as they should be. We waited at the redemption booth for an hour before someone came up to us... and when they did, they were really rude. I’m really disappointed in this experience. The food is good, it’s just the horrible staff that ruin everything.

Great place, cool vibe. On the 3rd floor of shopping center, has bar with cool amount of tables and booths, bowling alley, food bar, and arcade. Arcade are is cool but very small, so not worth more than 20 bucks, you use a card to play games.

Waiters tend to you while you bowl. $50 an hour for up to 6 people. Decent arcade games. Good looking pool tables and dart boards. Beer expensive though, $6 - $8 a pint...

Review №53

This bowling alley was ok. I mean it’s kind of hard to leave a 5 star review at a bowling alley because they all kind of suck, but this one didn’t suck as much. The price was average. they don’t have many alleys so there was a wait. I would recommend just because their drinks were strong.

I didnt bowl. I shot pool and ate pizza. My friends were enjoying themselves bowling though. The entire atmosphere was great and the pizza was deliciously superb! They have NFL Sunday Ticket and open at 10:00am on Sundays. Ill definitely be going back! And if you havent...You should!

Its tough to find a good sports bar in DTLA. In that regard xLanes is a bit of a hidden gem in Little Tokyo, Arts District adjacent. Lots of TVs. 3 big projector TVs are front & center. They play almost everything except boxing & UFC main events. Great place to catch Lakers, Dodgers & NFL games. Game audio is played. Add a food menu, a full bar, a fun bartending staff & its going to be a good time.

Booked a karaoke room for cinco de mayo. I was not disappointed. Sound system were great and they had a huge selection. They also have bowling alleys, billiards, and arcades. Remember to grab a bite at their bar and restaurant. Perfect hidden gem in Little Tokyo.Edit: Also, forgot to mention they have parking validations!

I like Xlanes LA. Honestly its a really pumped Friday nights so the way to Sunday nights. The food there is from 0-10, 10 being the best its an 8 1/2. The nachos are great if you have a lot of people with you. The cheese sticks delicious. If your lactose intolerant then dont even go there. Pretty pricey if I may add.

Review №82

I am very conflicted about this bowling alley. If you are looking for a nice arcade, they dont really have much of a selection. If you are looking for a bowling alley, there are nicer looking and cheaper alternatives. For what it is though, I must say that this place isnt bad. If you are in Little Tokyo and really found the urge to bowl, then this option isnt bad, but if you are willing to travel further I really think there are better options.

Review №83

It has a nice variety of things to do. There is a bar with TVs to watch sporting games. Pool tables and bowling, but the lanes are usually busy, I was told you can call the day ahead and reserve your lane. There is an arcade , but many of the games were broke. ID is required to get in even if you are not drinking so dont forget it at home. The bar servers are friendly and fast. If you didnt want to eat at one of the local spots near by they do have a restaurant, and you can order from the bar as well. It is very outdated with its look and kept environment. It was very much of a high school hang out feel, I was waiting for hall monitors to break out any second. Overall I would go again to chill and watch a game or bowl with some friends. One very nice feature is the parking structure next door and they validate parking! Win win for DTLA.

Great customer service. Employees are friendly, patient and very helpful. The price is fair for the food quality. Its a great place to hang out till L.A. traffic cools down. Its the closest thing to a Dave n Busters youre gonna get to unless you want to drive to Hollywood or Arcadia.Pool, darts, Arcades, sports bar, bowling and more.

Been here a couple times, not too shabby. Above average bowling lanes, fun arcades, and good lounge. The music is a tad bit too loud, and the lanes and games are a little bit broken. But not to the point where I wouldnt go again. Had a good time with friends.

This place is fun for adults or the whole family. The best way to describe this place is fun, fun, fun.

One of the best place to hand out and play in the surrounding area, when there is no event going on. They have pool tables, bowling, arcade games and pitchers with a great atmosphere. The space is a little small but still a great spot. What more do you need. A really chill spot, where you can take anyone from young to old.
