Black Oak Lanes

To access the bowling alley, you need to walk through the main casino floor and take the escalator down one floor. The bowling alley is medium size with 24 lanes. It is pretty clean and organized. There is a full bar/restaurant, bathrooms and a pro shop. If you are visiting on a weekend, I HIGHLY recommend booking a reservation. Walk-ins are a lot easier during the week. Although the website showed them to be closed on a Monday's, we were surprised to see they were open. We purchased one lane for two adults and two kids for a total of $26 for two games. That price included shoe rental, so I thought the rate was very reasonable. If you rent bowling shoes, you have to leave one of your personal shoes with the attendant. The houses balls were in really good condition compared to some other places I have visited and the ball return is pretty fast. You can also order/eat food in your lane. The seating area on the lanes are a bit tight. If the bowling alley is full, you can feel crowded and on top of each other. We had a good time here for a reasonable price and we will visit again.

A group of 5 of us bowled for an hour for $35 plus $4 for shoes per person. Shoes are $2 for kids that are 12 years old and under.Everything seems upgraded here which is nice, but the lanes are tight and seem very crowded when you're next to other people. Each lane does have their own table with chairs which is nice.You can order food and drinks from The Charlie and they will bring it to your lane. On the weekends, they charge $35 an hour plus shoes, but during the week it's $7 per person plus shoes.The balls seem to come back faster than most bowling alleys I've been to and the staff seems on top of everything. I definitely recommend this place if you're in the area and need something fun to do!

What a blast! My daughter and her friends had such a great time bowling, eating pizza and hanging out with her friends. I was an ease knowing they were safe and sound. The bowling alley has many different options and choices for graphics, bumpers; lights and so much more! This is not regular bowling folks! They have some really good employees too who were helpful, kind and efficient! They can get busy; but you will never wait in line for too long! They are good in there! This gentleman, who unfortunately I forgot his name, was exceptionally professional and a great representative of Black Oak. I cannot wait to bring the girls back again for another few rounds of bowling. There is plenty of free: safe and well lit parking as well as ADA options for inside and outside compliance. They even have these ball ramps to help with ADA and/or children. It's incredible and a great family fun time

I've been here a couple of times, and have never had a bad experience. The place has a good vibe (no thugs hanging out) and the wait is usually short. The equipment (balls, shoes, lanes) is in good condition. There's always spots available in the adjacent parking garage. My only complaint is that the drinks from the nearby restaurant are a little on the expensive side. Will definitely go back though!

Had my daughter's birthday here in June and had no issue bringing in pizza. Now today I take my kids here and now bringing in a pizza is against "policy" starting LAST YEAR but of course all the adults bringing in beer is ok.

I really want to like this place, my 3 year old daughter likes to go to the arcade & bowling, but the second hand cigarette smoke is overpowering and not at all healthy for the kids or anybody for that matter.... Was really hoping that they would fix this ventilation issue when they did this so-called "renovation" that took all summer.. But we just went back there again and nope... it still reeks of cigarette smoke, It looks like all they did is put new carpet in.. Everything else looks exactly the same... The kids games are not maintained properly and some of them don't work properly or at all, some games you get like 30 seconds of play time for $1.00..... pretty lame, May as well just go throw my money away in the slot machines... The website has very little information on anything.... Also we went to get lunch in the family area but apparently that restaurant doesn't open till 3:00.... Doesn't say that anywhere on the website either..... So pretty much just wasted a 50 minute drive to starve & throw money away on broken video games and suck down some secondhand smoke from a bunch of poor elderly people throwing their life savings & pensions away on slot machines... Very disappointing.. Hopefully this review will help you guys to use this as constructive criticism and you try to make this a better place for our local youth to have fun rather than line your pockets with gambling profits... Hopefully the new elevate place Will be better managed... Here's a checklist for you:-Fix ventilation issue..-hire more staff and pay them well.-set realistic restaurant hours... -maintain your equipment and games better.. -Put more information on your website...

Made a reservation for 3PM, but with rain and road conditions we arrived 10 minutes late. They gave our lane away. They then said they could get us in at 5PM so we waited two hours and when we didn't hear our name on the loud speaker, we got back in line. Two other families without reservations were given lanes while I waited. When I got to the counter they told our group that they had no more lanes available and the person helping us two hours back had listed our reservation at 6PM. They acknowledged that they just gave away two lanes in front of us, but offered no compensation to make up for this huge error. We left without bowling after we drove from the East Bay to bowl with my great nieces and nephews who live in the foothills. Total disappointment! Total lack of professionalism! Do not recommend at all.

Great staff and great facilities. We had a family outing and it was great. I recommend this place for family fun

A friend was having a birthday party for her kids here. I wasn't expecting much as the last time we were here (years ago) it felt dingy and the food was horrible. It was worse than gas station pizza and nachos. I actually called to see if we could bring our own food because I didn't want to eat there (which you can't). However, we were really surprised. The place was very clean, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful (above and beyond that of most businesses)...and the food was really good! Not just ok...but great pizza. We had a fun birthday party and I'd highly recommend it. Bravo to the management as it is so much better than it used to be. We will be back.Side Note: Yes, it did have an odor of smoke when we first walked in. Within minutes you didn't notice it anymore. Personally, I'm not worried and would be fine taking kid there but other people might have concerns. Not sure if anything can be done about it- better air filters or neutralizers? Idk.

Went downhill. We went to bowl and have a few drinks and long story short, there was major harrassment over nothing happening. Ego from a few staff members were ridiculous. The lanes (2 we paid for)were having major problems so we could only have a few turns so we asked for a refund. They wouldn't, which we couldn't believe so we packed up and said we would never return.. What a bummer.
