Chaparral Lanes

Lanes were clean, functioning fine.Pepperoni pizza not badShoes do not appear too wornPlenty of parking, appears safe

I appreciate the fact that this place really hasn't changed since I last went many years ago.The bowling was pretty reasonable and we were able to easily get a lane on a Thursday night. The bartender definitely didn't like us. She charged a different price everytime which I didn't like. We were ordering the same drinks each time so idk how that was possible. They closed at 10 I believe but didn't pressure us to leave or anything as we sat and finished our drinks until about 10:30.Overall cool spot, would def return.

I'm glad there's still smaller mom and pop bowling alleys around because Bowlero is waaay to expensive for a family outing. We typically come right when it opens on the weekend and have no issues getting a lane. Service is a bit slow since this is not a huge franchise with a ton of staff.3 of us bowled a game using 2 lanes. The total was like $16 because we had our own shoes.The only downside is that every time we have been, we had an issue where a lane attendant was needed for stuck balls and we had to walk all the front desk to get someone.Overall, bowling for a decent price.

Last weekend my Mustang club (San Gabriel Valley Mustang Club) had there annual Bowling Night at Chaparral Lanes in San Dimas. We have been coming here for about 15+ years now. The parking lot is big and about four or five handicap parking spaces. Parking lot could use more lighting but it's always clean. As you walk into the bowling alley the sounds of bowling is medium nose level. People are always having a great time there. Just inside the door is a place to shoot some pool and bar area. Large screen tv captures all the sports you can handle. That night was the Dodgers game so it was not to bad on the crowds. At the counter there is always a little lady collecting your one shoe for the bowling shoes rental and she takes your lane fees too. The counter is always busy so your best bet is to make reservations to guarantee your lanes. Birthday, Graduation, Retirement party are always going on. The choice of bowling balls are numerous for your selection. Kids have a bowl helper to help them roll the ball, so make sure to ask on of the friendly attendant. Two places to order food there. The Bar has access to food and the snack bad is at the far East of the alley. Sandwich, Pizza, Fries, Nachos and more all cooked to order. Something for everyone and the cooks are very friendly. I had picked up a large fries and a medium root beer all under $10.00. Very reasonable !! Vendor machine for soft drinks are available as well. A gaming section for the kids is available so they can busy while you bowl. The lanes were just waxed, they don't do that all the time. Tv in the lanes are always on sports of any kind and if there is something you really want to see ask the attendant. Lanes are very active and great action.. They have league play and twilight bowling so make sure you ask before you make the trip. Over all changes I would suggest. 1. More lighting in the parking lot.2. Bathrooms are ok but could be a bit cleaner.3. Spectator chairs could be upgraded for more support. So here's how Chaparral Lanes in San Dimas, in my humble opinion, stacks up. Appearance: 7 out of 10Food: 8 out of 10Staff: 9 out of 10Returning: 9 out of 10. Until Next Time,Stanley.

The place is very well kept. The vibes are a bit strange, but not too unsettling. I really loved the service, everyone was very kind and welcoming. The food was pretty good, but i've had better. The place doesn't have the best air conditioning though, and it got warm pretty quickly. The arcade games are all working, and they have some pretty good games. Overall, I really enjoyed my time and would definitely come again!

Being that this was my first time here I was a bit surprised that they still rented bowling shoes with holes in them. I did not buy any food but my sister ordered onion rings which were pretty good.The service was ok, our lane kept being interrupted with error messages and the front desk attendant appeared bothered by the 5th time we told her about our lane problem. She replaced out time lost but it was a bit frustrating to continue going to the front for the same problem.The location seems a bit out dated but alas, we enjoyed ourselves

I don't doubt this place is fun, but be careful when you come on Saturday. If you come at 10pm they do cosmic bowling, which means they play loud music from the DJ and the lights (lasers) are going nonstop. They are shinning in your eyes while you are trying to bowl and you can't see anything. I also asked, several times from the staff and the DJ to turn down the music, but they don't. In fact, I think that they're turning it up. If you do decide to come, don't get lane 40 as it's right in front of the speaker.

A great place on a hot day to practice bowling skills.Pizza and drinks were excellent for 40 plus adults. Good service and support from owner.

These are solid lines, they appear to be well taken care of. They do have a leak, so they tend to oil their lanes at least a couple times a week.The beer is a reasonable price and the staff is very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place if you wanted to do a couple of games. If I'm in the area and have a desirable, I will definitely visit this place again.

Lanes do not work, was not just our lane but the people to our left and right had the same problems and complaints. Asked for help and the woman manger said maintenance would fix it, they did not. Said she didn't care about a bad review. Bathrooms didn't work and were gross. Go to bowlero.
