They are very nice, willing to answer your questions with a smile. Food is fantastic and well made, i personally love their sweet chili sauce. Lanes are well maintained (and oiled) and fun to bowl on.

We tried out our new bowling shoes & had a nice time doing so. They do really need to wax their lanes though. Couldnt get any arch in on any of our throws.

Subway next door lied and told me their bathrooms were ordered closed by the health department. I came here just to use the restroom. Looks like a really great place I would definitely bring my family here. They let me use the restroom no problem! Thanks!

My wife and I joined a bowling league with our friends. I have never played in a bowling league before, however I live being in a sports league. Its wonderful to hanging with my friends and also getting to spend time with my wife.Now I still like to do well and I always want to win.. you know competition is real. I live this place and look forward to our Wednesday night bowling leagueat Bowlero Via Linda, in Scottsdale.

The lanes and equipment are in great shape, and the service was very friendly. The ball returns are at a great height for people lower to the ground. Taller folks should remember to lift with their legs.I wasnt terribly happy with being put on a lane with the lights out such that I couldnt see the marks, but they were kind enough to move me down to a lighted lane, since there were only about four in use in the entire center. Ill probably bowl there again sometime, as long as they let me keep the lights on.

I was blown away at how attentive, caring and courteous the staff at Via Linda Bowlero was for my daughter’s 17th b-day. The food was great for this type of establishment. I don’t expect much in customer service nowadays. so I was pleasantly surprised. The party was not cheap but I have to say it was very memorable and worth the $ for me.

Fun , fun ,fun . For entire family . After remodel , looks very nice. I come here with my kids , they love it. I feel like its a little higher price than it should be , but in the end of the day its worth it.

Loved this bowling alley! So many lanes and a nice arcade! The TVs on the walls playing a bunch of different things was cool.

Review №16

If you are a amateur bowler or better I would suggest staying away from these lanes. Not only are the gutters deep (so expect a lot of 10 and 7 pins), but the lanes are in poor condition. Racks that need to be reset or tracked often, returns that maul your ball and leave it ragged, and poor oil quality that is inconsistent.However, if you are going for cosmic bowling or just some recreation bowling you can have a great time.They just do not care about their league bowlers at all, which is sad in my opinion.

The facility is newly remodeled and looks very nice. I was there for a tournament on this occasion and unfortunately found the approaches to be very sticky. Place an order with the snack bar and they screwed it up 2x not very pleased . All the personnel that I had interaction with seem very pleasant . Overall a mediocre visit this time around.

I would love to share my details of this place but I cannot get ahold of anyone to answer any questions. I have tried calling or reserving at 4 different alleys in Scottsdale. They all have the same website, same recorded answering service, same voice. When I try to book online I am asked to order 76.00 worth of food. That cant be right. When I call to find out what is going on I am only given the option of speaking to the event center? What the heck is going on? Terrible customer service.

Super fun place to bowl and usually not too many kids or parties during the off hours. Dont order the pizza though. Also expect to pay a lot for beer.

They have great deals here. The only issue was it seemed like there was almost no oil on the lane. Still a fun experience though.Edit: I have been back multiple times since my initial review. The oil on the lanes has been great every time since.

Lots of pretty girls to look at. I drank a piter with my coworkers after the guy setting up our event messed up and couldnt get a spot at the golf range we met up at the casino, looked up saw this bowling alley was close. We bowled as a group and had lots of fun. Ok pizza needs a little more salt. Shoes didnt stink

Review №35

First off, I’d like to give a shout-out to Keon, the nice young gentleman at the check in desk. He was more than welcoming when I walked in the door. He was also very informative on a lot of questions we had including the new and various specials that are available for the facility. When seated at my lane, my server, Nadia was quite nice and referenced what the most popular items on the menu were. We had the pretzel dippers— very tasty!! The setup of the new bowling alley is clean and spot on with the “old fashioned retro” decorations. Yes, it is very modernized but they took into accountability that bowling was a popular activity to partake in, a while back. The arcade is on the smaller side but it’s jam packed with awesome games to play. I would definitely recommend this Bowlero location to all of my friends not only for the space itself, but mostly for the incredible customer service they provided to us.

Review №37

Since the new manager, this place has gone from bad to worse. Service is horrible! You can never get anyone to come get your orders, then when you go to the bar to ask for drinks they get upset. You literally just need to bring in your own food and drink, otherwise you won’t get any.

Al
Review №38

The bowling is fun obviously because that’s where the staff doesn’t come in. It took about an hour us to finally say we should go to the front desk to get someone to take our order. Then they did and we ordered the cookie skillet. We waited about 30 minutes for an almost totally raw cookie with completely melted ice cream on it. This is a Monday night as well so there aren’t many people here. Really poor service but at least the place is clean.

Review №41

The guy behind the counter was great and the games werefun. It wasnt cosmic bowling but it wasnt regular bowling as it was hard to see the marks they had $2.50 bowling starting at 5 and the front desk got a little overwhelmed. Surprise the manager didnt help out. Also they had the snack bar closed and I didnt find out until later that you could go to the bar and order food or I would have.I will probably go back and give them another shot at as the place is clean and well-kept

Actually a very clean place (except bathrooms)and good atmosphere. However, the prices are really high and the equipment was in bad repair. About every 4th frame had to get the desk to fix something. Very frustrating especially for the money.

Since changing ownership, there has been a lessening of interest in maintaining the league base. Food service has declined and lane maintenance is lax at best.

Review №47

I truly wish I could give this place 0 stars because it’s exactly what it deserves. A group of friends getting together some of us military veterans, one a current Scottsdale PD officer for this holiday weekend decided to come to this place bowl, eat and have drinks. After spending over $200 we go to pay the tab and while trying to split it up, one of the members in our group said to the cashier “do you guys have a student discount” , I state “or military discount”, the cashier then decides to respond to my friend “no, we have a disability/special needs discount, and you look like you fit the part”. I immediately say “why did you just say that to him?!” The cashier goes “I’m sorry I shouldn’t have said that” , but this statement was from left field, my mouth literally dropped because I couldn’t even believe those words came out of his mouth. This event happened Saturday evening, and here it is Monday and I just can’t get over such a disrespectful and ignorant statement. That cashier needs to be fired we spoke to the manager and she said she’d handle it, but the only way to handle it is by firing such an ignorant individual.

Nice alley with friendly staff. Food is good except the pizza. Its a contemporary set up with regular tables and chairs instead of the old uncomfortable built ins. Bowling is super cheap on Sunday mornings. Their phone line is almost useless, use the website instead. They have a bar and a video arcade.

Review №56

Went to this place on a Saturday, opens at 11am. Very clean inside and out, the staff is friendly, but as with most centers food service is slow. The reason for 4 stars is that this is the only center that doesnt give a discount for people with disabilitys on weekends. If I could give 3.5 stars I would.

Review №58

Awful! Slow service. They dont turn the AC on that much. Cant rent a lane. Have to pay per player per game.No heavy pours at the bar. The food is gross. Not to mention if you want a mega mule... its only for 3 people - 2 people cant order it. The lady will point out at the bar that it serves 3. But they will pour you two single shots instead.Worst places ever. Will never go back!

Bowling can still be a great time. The lanes arent fancy. The food isnt amazing. Yet the bar offers a wide variety of drinks and the atmosphere is quite good. the equipment is in good shape and prices are reasonable. Actually, the drinks at the bar were literally half the cost you would pay at a restaurant or bar!I would recommit and check it out

Review №61

Checkout person was a bit snotty when he said 3 games for 2 people is 6 all together. I was confused and he said in a rather sarcastic tone. Yeah, 3 + 3 is 6, so 6 gamesAnyways. For 2 people to bowl together on one lane for 3 games was $50. Pretty expensive.

Review №62

Sure it has a fun name, but that doesnt really help make it feel any better than an AMF when you walk in the doors. I prefer the location in North Scottsdale, which has a great game area.The associates all seem friendly, and the lanes are nice. A soda will run you around $4, and they have a menu of apps, entrees and libations

This is our favorite bowling alley to come to, it is always a great time. The staff is so friendly and their customer service is top class. The food and drinks are pretty good as well.

Thanks for the great friendly service and awesome times!

Got sold on some summer bowling pass for my son. Used it twice. Came in today to use it again and was sternly told that it expired 4 days ago. Wouldnt even honor it a last time. Poor value and bad communication. Ill find some where else to spend my money. Funny how eager and friendly they were when they sold it to me. Jerks when they cut you off.

Review №68

We had a fun time here. There were some issues with the scoring and it took about 30 minutes each time it broke down, but otherwise it was fine. Not the fanciest bowling facility in town, but you pay for what you get. Staff are friendly and helpful too.

Review №69

Just to be clear, I have nothing against the place and the other staff, except the cashier, ALEX. My family went there today so my son can practice bowling for his birthday which we book in the same center. Alex is just odd. He speaks as if he’s only talking to himself in a place filled with loud music. I had to stretch my neck so my ears can catch what he’s saying. It was our first time in the said center so we dont know how we get charged. When we got our shoes, he already swiped the card so I thought they’ll just charge it upon check out. When we check out we got to the counter and I asked him, “Are we good?” He then spoke something impossible to hear and moved his hand as if saying “go” so we left the line. I asked my husband, “Is that it? are we just gonna be charged?” Feeling something was wrong, we went back to the counter with another customer in front. I waved at him and asked “Are we gonna get a receipt?” He just told me, “I have a line and another customer” in a loud (thank God!) voice. I told him yeah but we were here before them and I’m not sure if we’re done. He then told me, again in a loud voice “Yeah, but you left!” That’s when my inner alarm came off. This guy is just impossible! I wonder why he’s there in front of customers when he clearly has no customer service skills. When we left the line thinking we were already charged and was not, he could have called us back to let us know that we’re not yet. And when we came back to ask him again, he just brushed us off and tell us he has a line and another customer. He kept speaking to himself at this time it was again impossible to hear. I asked him what he was saying. He just told me, “If you want to speak to my manager, you can.” I told him with a loud voice to just get it done and over with. With a simple transaction as checking out, Alex can send a customer’s blood pressure soaring high. This Alex shouldn’t be in front of customers, coz he clearly has no customer service skills. I just hope my son’s birthday won’t have the same experience.

Came here with a friend on a Saturday night. It wasn’t too busy, probably because of a dusty, wet storm that was going through town. $18 to bowl all night with unlimited games. Got in a good 6 games before getting tired. Front desk staff was real nice but I was disappointed with the service at the lanes. The waitress available made herself very unavailable to us. It was comical at times. The lanes next to us filled with young 20 year olds got served very promptly. But when we made eye contact with her she quickly looked the other way. We ended up going to the bar. Bartender claimed that the staff can’t always get to every lane when it’s busy. It wasn’t busy enough as we saw our waitress walk around aimlessly most of the night. Even after our drinks were empty she refused to come over to us. Got a really weird vibe from both her and the bartender. I’ll be back on a Monday when it’s cheaper and there’s even less people in hopes the service improves. Her loss on the tip I guess.

Atmosphere is great! The lanes are hit and miss. Sometimes the oil is fresh, sometimes not which makes for inconsistent bowling. We were in a league and the last day of league play we were told when we showed that we were being bumped off our lanes because they overbooked. We werent even offered a refund for the day. I will not be joining a league there in the future.

I play in a bowling league every Friday here. its a great place to bring your family or friends to have lots of fun. The food is also pretty good here.

Bowling lanes 25 & 26 were Broken off and on. We had balls come out of the lane like crazy one fell off the machine and hit my ankle. I told a worker he said nothing much. Later I moved the chair and it made a hole in the floor almost fell over. Told them again. The girl said oh, ok. I went in afternoon time on a Sunday. Wasn’t really good service or help.

We came to gang out and visit with our young adult children. The shoes were like new and after a false start on one lane that seemed to have to many people around we restarted at a new location and had a grand time! We had come from a large breakfast so we didnt order any food but was politely provided ice water. Since we spent $50 for four of us they sent us a $5 off coupon for next time!

Old and run down bowling alley. Nothing special, but it is at least available. Prices are too high for what is offered. Food and drink is comparable to an old theater. The hours are limited. Usually it is filled with retirees.The only reason we go here is because bowling spots are so limited.
