Fun my sister was working there

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

A genuine family bowling venue for children of any age, with bumper lanes making it accessible for children as young as 3–4. The Presidio National Park setting and bay-view patio give it a distinctive backdrop unavailable at any other SF bowling alley. Birthday parties work well here with reservable multi-lane blocks.

β€œPerfect event for the family, attended a birthday party here where my friend rented 2 lanes which required a deposit. There’s also an arcade here which we added the game cards to the reservation, they also have a full bar and kitchen. We had it for about 3 hours and it was busy for a Sunday afternoon. They have TV screens there to watch the niners game or you can request to show which game. They have an eating area and an outdoor area too. The staff for super friendly and accommodating when we kept on asking for help In redeeming our arcade tickets. We ordered hot dogs, sandwiches, chicken tenders, tater tots, salads, alcohol and even churros for dessert! You can customize your bowling games and names and you can get the bumpers added for the kids. There are even lockers there to store your stuff. There is a paid parking lot along with paid street parking. If you want to save some money you can park further and walk. Overall the entire family had such a great time!”
