    I recently had my daughters 8th birthday party at Bowlocity , on 4/29. with about 21 people who attended but had 8 kids who bowled, we did the Birthday package "Big Blast" and Honestly it was such a success the kids were never bored , they were constantly able to be busy , the arcade was busy but the kids were able to spend a good amount of time playing, The over all staff were amazing and so helpful. We live out of town so we really were not aware of what to expect when we got there but the staff were very helpful , Special shout of to miss Allie who works in the Bar side she took the time to help us with ordering the pizzas and really took time explaining what the process was. over all staff was amazing though I wish I would have Gotten the name of the gentleman who originally checked us in , he was very knowledgeable and helpful as well. Thank you Bowlocity for making my daughters Birthday experience extra special! We drove over 2 hours and it was well worth it! Also , The cake was amazing too!

    Bowling, Laser Tag, an arcade for the kids and a laid back cheers like sports bar will having you bringing your kids, friends and family here time and time again. Food is great and the restaurant manager Nick, who helps us every time goes above and beyond to make sure we are always happy, full and have the best experiences every time. The staff in the restaurant is very well trained and stays very busy and the front desk staff is always kind and does a good job. We highly recommend Bowlocity Entertainment Center!

    This is definitely a family fun spot. It’s called an entertainment center, and it truly is. From bowling to video games, pizza to laser tag you will be kept busy. Priced affordable depending on the activities you select. They do offer free bowling in the summer for youth. This is huge, especially when it’s a rainy day and the kids are crawling the walls at home. We have had birthday parties and they knock it out of the park. Not only is it easy- simply show up, the pizza and other foods are delicious. Not some death disk that is covered in cheese. The prizes are small for the ticket amounts but the kids love them anyway. Some of the staff seem like they are less than thrilled to be working there……so use caution or go with your children. I found they were much more courteous to my kids when I was there vs watching them across the arcade. As for bowling- I recommend you reserve lane in advance if possible. We did the suites- main difference is less crazy kids and screaming. It’s further from grabbing food & drinks, but they will deliver the food to your lane. We reserved in advance, but our names weren’t loaded in as supposed to be. It’s a fairly user friendly system and we quickly added them. Can reserve by the game or by the hour. Add bumpers or skip, even have a metal ball holder to line up. All and simply let it go. In short, everyone can be successful regardless of prior experience and have fun.

    Awesome alley with lots of fun arcade games and nice, modern lanes! Pizza & food is yummy! Staff is great with nice recommendations, if you ask! They close at 10pm everyday, which is so weird. They’ll def let you know too. Lights came on at 9:20pm Music turned down at 9:50pm. They’ve been cleaning for 45 minutes on a Saturday night. It’s just a weird vibe. I guess that’s what you get for Rochester, MN on a Saturday lol Edit: had to decrease my stars from 5 to 2. This place is so run by a bunch of children. VIP section is not worth the money. 8pm & the bartender was leaving, the music was off, house lights were on so no glow bowling. Just a joke, really. Why are we paying extra $20 for VIP lanes?? This place has no sense of what it means to be a bowling alley on a Friday and Saturday night. Find somewhere else to spend your evening.

    We had our son's 2nd birthday party here. We had a backroom for ourselves. The food was great and our server Lizz was amazing. She checked in often and had was very kind to our guest and the children.

    Between company holiday parties, elementary age field trips, and contributions to fundraisers, Bowlocity is positively impacting all their customers! We love sending summer field trips that way because they can bowl AND spend a little time at the arcade. As teachers we have made full use of the private lanes with dinner, drinks, and laser tag on top of it. Additionally, they never hesitate to donate when we fundraise for local charitable organizations. Not a negative thing to say!

    I LOVE BOWLOCITY! It’s my favorite place to have some drinks and relax. LIZZ is super attentive and takes care of me every time I am in! I come here often just to see her! She’s awesome and you won’t be disappointed!

    When we first arrive noone was in the resteraunt bsr part to take our order. My daughter had to go to the bowling counter to let them know. The employee looked around for the one who was supposed to help us . One employee stated that she might be in the bathroom. After 10 minutes longer, she came out , tossed her phone on the table, and finally took our order. Even thpugh she didn't seem to happy about it. The lane was acting up while bowling. Clearing pins by itself The employee tried to fix it twice but didn't help I was told that the game was set up for league games as an F kept showing up on the screen. Which we have never seen before. The F meant we were going over the line while bowling. Kinda hard not to when you are bowling with three small children and using the bowling helper I did talk to manager and he reimbursed but it was kinda sad as we were celebrating my grandson birthday but I still gave a 4 star

    Worst experience ever. Bar manager refused to refund my 8$ meal after an hour waiting on chicken strips. I checked on them after about 45 mins and I thought he said they were just put in but apparently he said they were on the lane. So they sat there for another 20 minutes. When i inquired about them again. He called me a liar and refused to give me his name so I could call the owner. I am not a consumer to complain but I will be sure to let anyone know about my treatment. They have always been great in the past. I did swear when he refused to tell me his name and he promptly threatened me with trespassing and escorted me out. I will never spend another dollar there and I will tell everyone of my treatment.

    We had my son's 6th birthday party here in Sept. 2023. We had kids ages 5 thru 7 play a few rounds of laser tag and received a private party room with the bulk laser tag purchase. I also ordered a cake a drinks through Bowlocity (no outside food/drink allowed). Everything went SO SMOOTHLY. I was so impressed. The room was clean. The arcade games were clean and majority were in working fashion. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. We will certainly be having future parties here and would refer others looking for a party venue in the Rochester area.

    We went into the sports bar just to grab a bite to eat. The service was terrible even though they weren’t busy. Our waitress was to busy being on her phone and going outside to refill our beverages or to even see how things were. They lost out on money as I would have normally had another drink or two but was so mad we just got our bill and left. We won’t be going back again.

    Yummy drinks and pizza! Great specials follow on instagram for deals! Free bowling in the summer for kids through KBF definitely take advantage. $20 for about 30 mins of arcade fun! Great place to have a Birthday party.

    We rented out the Bowling Suite for a staff event and it was wonderful! The process for reserving the space was very quick and easy. Jacie was very helpful and made sure everything was squared away for us. The food we had planned was out promptly at the time I had asked for. We ended up needing to order more (my fault, I underestimated!) and they were able to whip out another pizza for us within 15 minutes. We also had our own bartender, Danielle, who was great! The team had such a fun time and everything was absolutely seamless. Thanks Bowlocity!!

    Bowling lanes did not seem even. Kids ball always went left gutter if rolled to slow. Lane 6. Other than that. Clean, and friendly service. Good place to take your kids to bowl and get put of the house once in awhile.

  • 4/5 Dwight K. 6 months ago on Google
    Bowling review only. Fun place and have been there multiple times. The last time was bad. I have always been in the Suites to make it easier for us. We had 2 lanes that seemed to breakdown every other ball. So eventually we had to be moved to another pair of lanes.
