Round1 Bowling & Arcade - Tucson

I bring my boys here to play racing games and shooting games, always have a great time. We pay to do the unlimited green games for an hour and it's worth. I don't care about tickets, I never liked spending 20 bucks to try and win a 5 dollar prize. If you're looking to kill time, not super expensive, and AIR CONDITIONED this is a great place. Also the ice cream is a REALLY good deal and a fun way to treat the kids.

I came here with a work group for karaoke a week ago and was disappointed with what round one had to offer for karaoke. For one, though they allow you to rent a room, You can only rent for one hour at a time and then have to potentially go to a waitlist for anyone waiting. This is an efficient process, as I feel like they should at least allow you to book for two hours. Another issue was that the karaoke room was as bright as a high school football stadium on a Friday night. Typically when you go to Friday night karaoke, the lights are dim or have some kind of fun flashing lights or anything like that but nothing of that sort, just a bright room. The next issue is the lack of choice in party packages when it comes to ordering food. There is only one option which is one large pizza, 12 wings and a side of fries or tater tots for $47. To me, this is overpriced...especially for just a large pizza and not to mention the side of fries or tater tots portion is incredibly small for a large group. It's more fitting for two people to share. As we were in the karaoke room, we asked if they would bring it to the room when it was ready and they would not. That also seemed like something they could easily do but whatever...they did say we would hear it over the speaker in the room when it was ready, which was a lie. When we went to go check on the order, we were told I had been sitting there for 10 minutes already. I don't understand why the karaoke room doesn't come with an attendant..you pay enough for it.The cod was okay. Pizza mediocre, but I was a little impressed by the wings, specifically the lemon pepper ones. They have a breading on them that gave some crisp but not too crunchy. The Buffalo wings were typical Buffalo wings, had that tangy flavor. Some felt they were very spicy, I did not at all. Some questioned of the food made them sick over the weekend, idk. The actual karaoke machine was cool as it seemed as it seems as though it had all of the songs our diverse group requested. It also was pretty loud and the microphone was pretty sensitive to pick up your voice. If they would just change the ambience and give you better service, the karaoke rooms could be greatly improved.

Round1 is a Japanese owned company. I heard about it from some friends of mine who visited and said they enjoy the Round1 location near where they live. So, based on their recommendation, my husband and I decided to give it a try for date night.The two stars are for the arcade part of Round1. They have a ton of arcade games ranging from DDR, 3D games, VR, and your typical games where you win tickets. The majority of their games are the claw grabber games where you can win stuffed animal prizes. They have the large stuffed animals down to little small ones. Unfortunately, a lot of their games (about 25%) were out of service when we went. We were able to make it work and spent about $100 in game credits. We ended up winning a large stuffed plush and a small one. We also got a medium-sized one from the ticket exchange prizes area, along with some candy necklaces.As for the food, I give zero stars. They have very limited food options even with both Japanese and American food on the menu. My husband and I both ordered Teriyaki chicken rice bowls, and he ordered a side of mozzarella sticks. The Teriyaki chicken bowls were topped with sliced ginger (which I absolutely hate the taste of), and therefore, it ruined most of the dish. My husband didn't even eat his Teriyaki bowl. The mozzarella sticks were bland and tasted mostly of frying oil. If we ever go back, we will only go back for the arcade and eat elsewhere either prior to or after.

Round 1 is pretty cool and I'm glad there's a location close to where I generally hang out. We go for an hour or so every couple of months to just play some games and unwind a bit, and it's a great place to do so. The prices for the credits are a little high, depending on what games you like to play. Luckily we love skee ball, which takes less credits, so we get a lot of fun out of our money.They keep the spaces pretty clean and kept up. The machines are almost always up and running. We had one problem once, and we went to customer service where they quickly and kindly rectified the issue.The staff is always helpful and friendly. The ice cream must be good because I see people walking around the mall with cones all the time, but I've yet to try any food for myself. It seems pretty basic -- burgers and fries kind of stuff.Their mobile app is kind of useless. You have to have your physical card to play regardless of if you have the app or not, which is kinda lame.

We had a nice evening here did a family get together. On a Friday night it wasn't super packed though it was busy which was nice. MWe mainly focused on bowling and the arcades and a few of us got food. The food was just ok. It's mostly bar/fried food which I guess is good for most of the kids and young people who go there. They do have .99 ice cream scoops which was nice. I got the strawberry cheesecake and it was delicious. Prices are fair though of course some of the games are expensive but that's to be expected. The only thing I really didn't like was that the ONLY bathroom was downstairs. Definitely not convenient when a little kid needs to go in the middle of a game. They check bags and use a metal detector when you first walk in. But I didn't experience any issues that made me feel unsafe.

Good bowling, fun games, above average prizes you can get with tickets, and a full bar!

I'll absolutely give Round1 another shot, but my first visit was a bit disappointing. Half the games were down for maintenance or replacement and the rules about where you could go with food and alcohol were pretty ambiguous. They also didn't have ingredients for a lot of the drinks on their menu, but it's off-season, so I'll try again. The upsides were that our large group won a lot of prizes collectively and the food and drinks that we were able to order were very good.

The Food was not good and games are now impossible to win so disappointing to spend so much and go home with nothing but an upset stomach

I rightfully won enough tickets for a prize. This manager would not let me get my prize until he conducted an audit of my entire account! Told me it would take 5 minutes, half an hour later still would not release my prize to me. It was a stuffed animal! He was acting like I won a car! I told him I only had 5 minutes I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He was being anal retentive. Told me to come back the next day for the prize. Wow winning a plushie has that much security! Why should it take a day to get a stuffed animals! WTF!If you win tickets - don't expect to get the prize you won at this location!

Place used to be super fun. Waited around 10 minutes to get help from one of the employees to get help with the prize. Asked one of them and they disappeared. Even the managers themselves saw us and did not attempt to help, tall dude with a ponytail. This other lady did notice finally after we walked around and was able to help us.Crazy for a Saturday experience literally not a single employee walking around
