The Escape Bowling Center

Casual place to relax, a pool table, six bowling alleys, area for karaoke, and xbox games. It's like having an exclusive club for family, friends, or company event. This place is located in a remote base at the top of Whitmore village. I have lived in Hawaii my entire life, and never stepped foot close to this base. The Escape Bowling Center building is about 200 yards away from the Pacific Communications headquarter, featuring massive satellite dishes. Don't bother with using your GPS to get here, my device took me to the wrong gate. Once you get to the gate, the Federal police officers will check your pass and driver's license and will kindly let you through (reservations in advance active, retired, or DOD). The center is cozy, Karaoke area (flat screen TV with singing machine set up), X box gaming area, six bowling lanes with computer scoring, and an billiards table in the back. Everything looks less then 3 years old, much newer than any bowling alley in Hawaii.No food or drinks served in the facility, but they allow food and alcoholic beverages! Excellent place for a family gathering, company function. We were celebrating my son's soccer club, Holiday party.

The fact that this is on a Naval base is already a negative because they want a full background check on everyone at the party. The people running the bowling alley are very condescending and are very cocky! Not sure if they are local people or from mainland but they act like they owe you nothing! Not very helpful when asking questions about getting passes and have different instructions vs. what the pass and ID office tells you. It is a waste of time to try and get all paperwork just to get passes on base. I would not recommend this place for a party

First of all, you have be military to reserve this place. Second of all, this place is in the boonies!We came here before so we were familiar with this place.My brother-in-law had his surprise 40th birthday here and they sell no food here. It is BYOB/BYOF. His spousal unit reserved the whole place and his friends and family had a ball. Other amenities:Karaoke area with tables and chairs to eat your grindzPool table at an outdoor covered area
