Reviews for Bowlero Riverview in Birmingham, AL
Nice lanes, heavier oil than oak mountain. I definitely got more drift on my ball. Took me a while to adjust to it, but I like... the extra oiliness over all as I feel like I can get more curve, once I adjust to it. Nice people and I look forward to goingback. Unlike Oak Mountain, they hadn't turned their lanes over to schools, so there were plenty of lanes for normal people toplay. Read more
BE AWARE OF YOUR PRICE BEFORE YOUR HAND OVER YOU CREDIT CARD Last night I visited this location to bowl. I arrived around... 7:40pm I spoke to the girl at the desk and explained that I wanted the Monday Special 8pm-11pm unlimited bowling for $14.49. Itold her that I would wait to 8pm for that. She said you needed my credit card to assign me me lane. She assigned me a lane. Iwaited at the lane until 8pm. I started then. I finished around 10pm and went back to the counter. She then told be my chargewas for 52 bucks. I told her I was doing the special. She said I didn't tell her that. I explained yes I did she wouldn't changethe charge. I revisited the site thinking I may have misread the posting on their website. I called her back after I left toask her why she would charge me that much knowing that the special started at 8pm. I asked her for the manager. She told me Ishould have told her that I wanted the special. I argued that it doesn't make since , Why would I want to pay $52.00 instead ofthe special @ $14.49. She told me sorry that there was nothing she could do and cut me off. Be aware of this. This is a typicalbait and switch tactic and shady business practices. I find this very disappointing considering I have bowled here for severalyears and have always given good referrals to my fellow league bowlers to visit this location. My opinion obviously has changed. Read more
We had fun the 2 hours we were here. The prices of bowling have gone up a lot since the last time I bowled. It was over $60 for... 3 of us to bowl 2 games, in addition to cost of shoe rentals. I also highly recommend that you eat before you go. We paid OVER$5 for a small fountain drink. Other than the price, the facilities were nice and clean. We had no issues while we were there. Ihighly recommend this place just be prepared for the cost. Read more
It was my first time in this place and the first time in a long time since I'd bowled. The line was long and kind of slow to... get shoes and our lane assignment. Once that was handled, though, all else was good. It was Labor Day so the place was prettyfull as many off work and out of school had the same idea. I was there on a date and we had a great time though that had moreto do with him and I enjoying each other's company. This bowling place was a decent backdrop and I'd be okay returning. We didnot experience any issues and were able to have some semblance of privacy though both lanes on either side of us wereoccupied. It's tucked away beside a shopping center but near a major road and lots of other places to shop. Read more
It was really nice inside. The guy at the bar was awesome and the price special they had the night I went was nice. My only... complaint is not being able to pick less than 2 hours Read more
Fun place to bond with family, have a birthday party, or just blow off some steam. The food was very good although the wait time... was pretty long ???? ???? I recommend the hot pretzels! The price is average and the Wednesday night specials are good. Read more
It's okay not bad at all. Plenty of parking they also have a snack menu didn't order anything seem to be reasonable and look... pretty good on the menu. Had a pretty nice crowd there that night.. all seem to very much be enjoying themselves . Prices arereasonable. My only con a couple of times.. there was a glitch in the calculations of our play / scores. Clean restroomsavailable handicap parking workers appeared to be very nice. Only interacted with one and that was the cashier. Go ahead giveit a try. Read more
Half the lanes were open and they ran out of shoes; however the food is good for a bowling alley. More of a loud party bowling... alley. Bartender was the saving grace of the night super friendly and telling us on how to save money. Read more
