Beverly Bowl

Just called today, 11÷3÷2014. They are not closed. They do have limited hours.

Ok, we just stated bowling after a 15 year layoff; kids were just getting into sports. So the wife and I decided we need to take this up again. The lanes are just ok, but the STAFF is super nice and the bar is awesome too. My only real problem is the Pro-​Shop, the business hours make no sense. It is closed in the evening when most leagues are taking place. So we waited until Saturday, the gentleman the runs the shop was too busy talking to his friends and ignored us for about 15 mins. (didn’t even acknowledge we were there.) when another group people walked in and told them he be with them in a minute. I believe in supporting local business (we bowl here 2 – 3 times a week) but I also believe you need to have good customer service. So we bought our bags, balls, and shoes elsewhere. So that is a big reason for only 3 stars. So for now I drive to Arcadia to the Pro Shop out there.

had a good time at this bowling alley.
It has an old feel to it.
The strawberry malts are delicious!

This is a great place for kids and the family. The food is not all that great but it is a bowling alley not a restaurant. As for the bowling I came on a week night after 9 pm and got shoes and unlimited bowling till midnight for only ten dollars a person, sweet. They do serve alcohol and they run like club prices so drink before you come. They do have a happy hour from 3 – 6 pm but the ten dollar special is Sun– Thursday 9 to close so that won’t work. So this is a good spot for family and friends and pretty affordable.

nice place, but i don’t know why they don’t gave us two lines, I spent half day for 5 games each. we arrived early .it should be first come firs serve

Came here on a Friday night around 10PM since it was close to my ex’s house, and it was incredibly packed. The parking lot was a little rocky and seeing as how my car is lowered, I had a difficult time navigating through the uneven pavement. Be careful and just drive slowly because it’s dark as well and there may be people walking around the bigger cars.
When we stepped in, we were greeted by unfriendly stares and people standing everywhere in the little area that led to where the cashier was. The first thing he said without hesitation when we were about to ask the price was «Get that (our Starbucks cup) out of here.» Excuse me? Where are your manners? I understand you sell your own drinks including alcohol, but who in their right mind would drive all the way to Starbucks at 10PM (& leave their game) instead of just picking up a drink at your place? Whatever. More rude stares from the group next to us. We left immediately after.
We took our business elsewhere to Action Lanes in El Monte where it was cleaner, friendlier, and had a bigger/​nicer lot.

Love this place specially after 8pm its like happy hour! great times and very clean! Needs more special though :)

This my house. Bowl here twice a week with all my bowling friends. Nice people working here. Come by and bowl a game or two. You’ll have a great time and maybe meet and make friends.

Being that I don’t bowl on the Shabbos, and my Little Lebowski Urban Achievers wanted their end-​of-​the-​year banquet to be something «fun,» I spoke to the manager at the Beverly Bowl and she hooked me up with an amazing deal for a Friday night.
So, many of you know that I am a teacher and I coordinate a club. Well, when it comes to the banquet my students have these ideas of grandeur. By grandeur I mean they want to have our banquet in some really cool, REALLY FAR places that is not conducive for parents to be picking up and dropping off. (Side note: I tell them parents are invited, but being HSers, they don’t relay the message.)
Beverly Bowl is located very closely to us and is on the main street so public transportation is easily accessible. It is old. It is dingy. But the staff is really nice. And they were very nice, and patient, with me and my crowd.
There were 22 of us. They gave us 5 lanes. For the first two hours we had AYCE pizza. Don’t get too excited, it was generic processed pizza. But whatever, we’re talking HS kids. They’ll eat ANYTHING! We had two hours of regular bowling and one hour of cosmic bowling. Shoes were included. I walked out paying less than $ 400 for 22 of us to eat and bowl for 3 hours. Can you say bargain?! The other cool thing was that it was interactive and some of the kids opened up a little more and I think there were new friendships forged.

Just went yesterday and it is a whole lot different a few years ago. They replaced or refurbished the pool tables. Now they have air hockey, more modern arcade games etc. Also now there is a pool table in the bar area for $ 10 an hour I believe but I’m not sure because I have one at home. Did not try the food, but people next to us did and it looked o.k. Over all a good place to pass some time

I used to frequent this place when I didn’t know anyone with a billiards table. The one pool table with adequately priced pitchers of blue moon were worth the 10 an hour price. You get great music, from Zeppelin to sublime, great table and great beer.
As for bowling,.not my thing, but it’s always packed so I guess it’s a good place to bowl

As a bowling alley, Beverly Bowl should rate only three stars. It’s just plain A-​OK. They have some pool tables, and they used to have some arcade games (they still might), but nothing is wow-​worthy.
I’m giving Beverly Bowl four stars, though, because it’s a random thing my mom and I have in common. No, we’ve never bowled here together. In fact, I don’t think she and I have ever been in the building at the same time. But we both spent time as teenagers at Beverly Bowl, and that’s pretty random. Especially when you consider the fact that I didn’t live in Montebello when I was a teenager.
I don’t know what you did in high school, but when I was hanging out with Dan, Emi (RIP), Carlos, and other members of the carpool, we often played miniature golf for money or just bowled. Beverly Bowl was a bowling alley of choice because it was closer to Emi and Carlos and because you could also play pool here. Whenever we did play pool, I used to get slightly annoyed because there was always this crew of older Armenian men playing at the next table. I have nothing against Armenians (I am one), but one of them used to make racist comments about my friends. These comments were made in Armenian, and since I didn’t exactly know how to respond in Armenian, I didn’t say anything. One of the older men (not the racist comment-​maker) was really short. He was literally 4’9″ or so. Anyway, I came to find out that he was a family friend’s father. At weddings, he would always ask my mom to dance, as she was the only woman anywhere near his height. (My mom is five feet even.)
So not only did I spend time hanging out in a place where my mom had hung out twenty-​five years earlier, but I also spent time around the same short old Armenian dude who used to ask her to dance at every wedding. And we’re Armenians, so we go to a lot of weddings.

I went last week on a thursday night and had a good time. I have been to a few bowling places, but never this clean. Now could that be, that I go to cheap bowling places, or is it that I have tried to go to nice bowling places and they disappoint me? Nonetheless, it was a nice place to hang out and have some fun. The only thing that I disliked was the price, $ 9 dollars for two rental shoes. To me, I think that is too much for a pair of rental shoes. Don’t you think?

I wanted to find a place for daughter’s bday, besides the usual going to dinner. i suggested bowling, because a friend had come for her sister’s bday and she said they had a good time.
it was like 20 bucks per person, and that included shoes and bowling for 2 hours. We ordered from the café, and the girl there was very nice and brought our pizza to us. The guy at the counter was really nice too, because i haven’t been bowling in a billion years and had lots of questions.
we had a good time, bowling, eating pizza and drinking beer (not for the kids) and soda for the teens! they have a bar that looks out of that old Twilight Zone episode, but it’s nice and clean, and i would totally come back!

learned how to bowl here… technically, I don’t think its called Beverly Bowl like it used to be since its now owned by AMF, but whatevs. Still Beverly Bowl to everyone living in the bello anyways, right?
Haven’t bee there in some time, but I went tonight, and dayammmm… it was PACKED. The joint was crazy busy and we had to WAIT AN HOUR to get a lane! Absurd no? But hey, good for them and the ‘hood. bowling is a good pasttime.
We had crazy fun with unlimited bowling for two hours, shoes included, Saturdays after 9pm, for $ 19.50 per person. The cheap bud light pitchers and rocking music helped. Oh, so did my friends. :)
