What is going on with your bartenders Bay View Bowl? Tried coming here three different times and the bartenders are always drunk. They drink right in front of the customers. The blond girl bartender was too drunk to open my beer and handed it to me closed. She was freaking out saying she can't handle her job. Rude man behind the bowling booth was drunk too. Do better. Ill stick to Falcon Bowl.

Once I got use to the lanes the house balls were tearing my thumb up. Although I've bowled for many years on different leagues I've never bowled at a place where the bar tender is drunk and the guy running the lane set up is drinking a beer. If that's your policy then more power to you guys but its unprofessional and sloppy. Lady at the bar with the brewers shirt couldn't even make a sentence. Ill still to AMF. A little drug spot after dark if that's your thing.

Original wood lanes pose a unique challenge every time you throw, which makes it great for practice and challenging friends as well as yourself. New owners already made noticeable improvements and looking forward to the great things coming soon! Staff is unparalleled! They bounce around between roles to keep everything moving as smoothly as possible given the currently available resources. They are truly the heart of this legendary house 🎳💪. 4 stars because the back of the house needs attention (balls coming back with gouges, damaged, black marks, and "lane boogers", some pins are noticeably delaminated, ceiling tile dust occasionally found on approach/gutters/lanes, random leaks causing lane damage/warpage). I have faith new owners will fix as business picks up. When it's fixed I'll definitely change to 5 ⭐️

We had a surprise birthday party for a friend at Bayview Bowl and it was a great experience. Logan was our party host and was so helpful and attentive to our group the entire night, while also working with other customers. The rest of the staff were also so friendly and welcoming. We had such a fantastic time. Can’t say enough good things, highly recommend this place.
