I got a birthday package at Bowlero. Everything went smooth, food was tasty, and service was top notch. It was a wonderful time to celebrate my birthday at Bowlero. Would definitely come back again

I wouldn't say that bowling is my first thought when it comes to having fun on a Friday night. However, last night my 17-year-old son and a friend of his took me bowling. I was shocked to see all of the families and friends gathered at the bowling alley having such a great time. This place is pretty clean and there's lots to do. I was also surprised at the quality of the food they serve. Though, most of it is fried and bar type food. It's better than most fast food restaurants, for sure! The staff who were somewhat overwhelmed, were alos very friendly. I will be planning another trip soon.

Went bowling with my friends! The environment was very clean and had the perfect vibe and atmosphere for bowling. Made us feel like we were sent into a movie. The employees were very kind and interactive. They were always there to help us as soon as we needed! The female manager was very kind and professional she shared the information on many events and ticket options. Overall it was a very fun experience and we are already planning our next visit!

They have 40 lanes, so chances are you don’t have to reserve a lane. The only thing I didn’t like about this experience was the food which was not good at all

This is the place to go bowling in town

The location and environment are fantastic, but the front desk staff/management is ALWAYS problematic. Rude and hateful every time im there. The servers however are lovely. Too bad this is the only bowling alley in town.

Google User3 months ago

The staff is doing the best they can with about 1/3 the amount of people they need. I feel bad for them because it looks like every employee is doing the work of AT LEAST THREE people! Otherwise a genuinely good time, and a great place for a birthday party.

Very friendly staff and a great place to bowl and have fun. Some open bowling times are "in the dark" for those who prefer that.

Went bowling for the first time in years! We had a great time! Reserved and paid in advance online. Bowling alley has a fun atmosphere. Big screens to watch while you bowl. Food and drinks were good! Only downfall is that it was a bit hot inside. Overall was a nice experience.

Absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the phenomenal customer service at Bowlero Gulf Gate! We had a party of 9 so I reserved two lanes ahead of time. When we arrived, we were welcomed with a personalized sign, our own dedicated server, and even a handwritten note! Roxanne was our server and she was such a sweetheart, and the perfect amount of attentive. The food and drinks were great and we had such a blast bowling. The managers were also very kind and made sure we were able to finish our game when we ran a little over our reservation. I would highly recommend reserving lanes ahead of time... you'll be treated like royalty. And be sure to request Roxanne!

Marty and the team do a great job striving to make bowling great again. Really enjoy coming here. To make this 5 out of 5, please have the mechanics do a better job keeping ball return equipment clean as some of the lanes really make the balls dirty which greatly effect reaction and performance. Great place to work on your game and the staff is really joyful, accomodating and pleasant. Also please consider running more tournaments for higher caliber bowlers.

Only place to bowl in Sarasota now, also the best place to bowl. Check the website for deals and promos and also Groupon. Food and drink prices give this one star less but it's a good place to go!

Marty and her Team are incredible.I recently brought a group of individuals living with Alzhiemers to bowl and have lunch. Wanted to bring back some memories for some of them who once were involved in Bowling Leagues. Marty and her Team were so caring patient and accomiidating with our needs.It was so nice to feel the acceptance that we don't always recieve when taking individuals with this disease out in the community. The environment was so clean. Marty made this outing a incredible experience and very therapuetic for the individuals I work with everyday. Thank you Marty and your Team You are truly a amazing Team and Business. The Food was also incredible. We truly experienced a amazing sensory stimulating and brought back some amazing reminisce moments for the residents.

Clean and the food was good, and the employees were very nice. But looks like may need some help with more employees. Since there was quite a few customers pizza took a little while to get to us... I'd still go back.

It’s always enjoyable to come to the alley. While the experience with all employees is generally fantastic, I will say that Craig in the bar is quite the standout. His customer service skills are really on point and he’s always very attentive. Thank you, Craig!
