From the reviews
A Dive, but a well-run & functional bowling alley. Sure some lanes don’t operate well, but the staff gets right on it. Also, deals on Tues & Thurs PM. We bowled >3 hrs for $30 (2 bowlers). Fewer places are quintessential Oceanside. It’s hard not to love this place.
A good time was had by all. Haven't been bowling in years. Brought some pizza with us and drank the beer from the bar. Staff is friendly. In fact, everyone whonshows up isnprettybfriendly and we made new friends throughout our evening.
We had fun at the surf bowl. It's a great place for family fun It wasn't too crowded and I didn't have to wait for a lane. It's way more affordable than bowling at the same time in San Marcos. Bowling by the hour perry affordable. We went in the afternoon so the grill wasn't open.
Staff were friendly n helpful when we ran into a problem. My coworker n I decided to go here after our company Christmas party. Glad I went because it was a blast. Lots of options to pick from whether you go in pair or as a group together. Will go again
