Had the worst experience of an establishment in my life. The ID person was very rude and ignorant. i believe him to he very racist. this was the 1st time coming there and the last. i was asked for my ID, so i had to put my purse on the table next to him because my wallet was tight . he was rude and saying I need to step in front of him. They are very racist!!! i now have seen various complaints. throw this entire company away!!! I will never come back here. This has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I’m pissed and I’m gonna Follow up with a letter to the corporate Because this is unacceptable, this is 2025 and we should not be dealing with racist People at a establishment.

I went in with my friends Saturday night, 13 December 2025. The person taking the ID is very rude very ignorant. I didn’t have my ID, which wasn’t a problem because everyone else I was with had a ID I just had to go up the street and grab my ID because I forgot it; we are grown and he treated us like we were children. He seems to be racist like he didn’t want us there. He didn’t have any valid reason not to want us there. We were just coming for a good time. It was my first experience there in my last horrible experience. I am truly traumatized.

Flamingo Bowl has a special place in my heart! After eloping, my husband and I decided to throw a "Happily Ever After Party" here, and it was a blast! We rented out the Palm Room and had about 65 guests. Alex and his staff were communicative and hospitable throughout the whole process. There was plenty of room for everyone to bowl, mingle, and eat. We even had room to set up our photo booth. We did open bar and the Italian buffet, and we had guests go up for seconds because the food was that good! The lanes are also handicap accessible which is appreciated.

The place in great. We had lots of fun there. It's reasonably priced to play and rent shoes. The food is good and they also serve alcohol so bring your ID. After 8 pm you have to be 21 and older to stay there. You can also book them for parties or anything so check out the website for info on that. Definitely will go again 10-10 highly recommend. Also if you were to have a fake ID and you are with a group of people who have real ones all of you will get kicked out after 8pm
