We had a blast here! The front desk lady was kind and helpful! We went bowling as a party of three and were able to play 2 rounds for the hour!

We are on an out of state field trip with about 90 junior high kids and 30 chaperones. We had a blast! Kids fed, games played and nothing but fun. The staff was helpful and attentive. Special thanks to the manager Michelle. She was the best hostess and really went way above my expectations. 💕

We did not have a good experience here. We were told it would be about a 40 minute wait for a lane. We were there an hour and a half and was told there was still one person ahead of us. Then they asked which number buzzer we had because there was a mix up so I’m wondering if other people were served before us. They didn’t seem incredibly busy. I could look past that, maybe people were just taking their time on the lanes. What I cannot look past is the disappointing food. I ordered nachos, and these were $14 nachos. They were awful. It was like gas station nachos with black beans, low quality pico, and not even half a condiment cup of sour cream. It was the cheap yellow corn, super salty chips and liquid cheese as well. Don’t be fooled by the online pictures of their food. They also add 20% gratuity to all of their orders. FOR WHAT I had to stand in line to order my food, I had no server, no drink refill. I wouldn’t mind paying 20% if I actually received a service for it, but I did not. We came with expectations of having a good time with our kids but all we left with was mediocre, overpriced food and three sad little boys who never got to bowl. I would really suggest you look elsewhere and spend your money in a place where customers are appreciated.

We had my son’s 6th birthday party at The Alley and it was perfect! The manager (I think her name was Michelle) was super friendly and accommodating. The service, food, drinks, bowling, arcade games, and lounge space was all great! Adults and kids had a fun time!

Terrible management. Joey, the owner, was playing pool supposedly “not on the clock.” I noticed that he kept pointing fingers at customers and I couldn’t understand why. A waitress then came up to my table and said that dogs are not allowed in the establishment but because he was in his carrier it was okay that he stayed. I don’t understand why Joey could not come talk to me directly about my dog. I totally understand that my dog wasn’t allowed and I respect that. I was told that Joey was having a couple of drinks, so that’s why I could not talk to him about this incident. I believe that if you’re the owner, whether you’re on the clock or not, you should respect anybody who walks inside your establishment. I was very disappointed with the way my family and I were treated. I have been to the Alley multiple times with no issues. This is the first time I was unhappy with the way this place was managed. Joey needs to work on his customer service skills because he is representing this company and that is not fair to the customers whatsoever.

Such a fun place to bowl and more! My son loves coming to the Alley in Santa Fe for bowling and video games. They also have a lot of pool tables and darts. They serve food and have a full bar. This is also a great place for a date! Every time we come to the Alley we have a blast!

Our family came here for the first time to celebrate a birthday. The person with a bday is free, there is a senior discount and kids are pretty cheap too. It is a very nice, modern and clean place. The bowling alley is ligit unlike some previous alleys in SF which had a big slant. There is good beer, good food and lots of other entertainment. We were impressed by friendly service.
