Del Rio Lanes

I usually go bowling at KEYSTONE lanes, I heard the owner is the same person! Anyhow, we had a team builder on Sunday night for our company! Let me start that we had 2 groups of about 15 people each so a total of 30+ people. We all met up at the bar and hung out there. Our boss then proceeded to rent the lanes for about 2 – 3 hours and rent shoes for a majority of or group! I’m sure we spent a good amount of money there. We were having an AWESOME time. Towards the end of the night a few of then team members stated that they were hungry. We sent a person to kitchen to order some food only to find out the kitchen was closed! We were really enjoying ourselves so I decided to order some pizzas from DOMINOES! The delivery man brought them in to the bowling alley and our team was excited! As soon as we paid and set them on the table the «shoe boy» on duty walked over and said «you guys can’t have the pizza here, you need to take it out now!» We asked why and he said it want allowed. Our party was somewhat scattered around the bowling alley so we were a bit shocked. A few of us grabbed a slice and began to gather our belongings and team other team members! The «shoe boy» then cam back about 5 minutes later w the security guard and said if we didn’t take it out immediately he would call the police!!! We all went to get our shoes and once we did we took the pizza out side and began to eat it on the bench located in the front of the bowling alley! Some of the team was still at the bar so a majority of us ate pizza threw the boxes in the trunk of a car and went back inside! The «shoe boy» and security guard then continued to kick everyone in our party out of the bowling alley! As we were leaving the police arrived! Are you kidding me, over some pizza we ordered they Called the police! I will never go back to Del rio lanes much less recommend a team builder there for our future occasions! I love to bowl so I may go back to keystone lanes because I enjoy that place! It’s just sad that employees like that are working there and providing horrible experiences! I understand there are rules to follow however sometimes exceptions can be made or an effort to call the owner and explain the situation in regards to a large party spending a lot of money and the kitchen being closed! I still would like to address this situation w the owner! Just to see what actions he would’ve taken! IF YOU HAVE A TEAM BUILDER MAKE SURE U MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR FOOD APPROVED BY THE OWNER OR MANAGER NOT THE ARROGANT LITTLE SHOE BOY AT THE DESK! It wasn’t cool eating our pizza in the freezing cold either!

Horrible fucken place. Save your money and time. We got there with the intention of bowling and having a good time; we got the opposite. When we went to pay the guy told us it will be 45 to 1 hour wait. We didn’t mind so much because they have a bar area (for the record it sucks and it’s ghetto) so we thought we could wait and have some drinks. The counter in the bar was sticky as fuck and the drinks weren’t all that great. We also had ordered pizza, a large pizza and that thing was so small it was a huge ripoff. After waiting for over an hour we went to check and the idiot in the cashier says it’s still another 45 minutes. We were so pissed we had just wasted all that time sitting there doing shit. We walked out. Never again going back to this ghetto ass place.

This place is ran by a bunch of kids and there management is a joke. Take your business else where. This is the last time I bring my team.

Came here on a Friday with a couple of friends we had a great time. Prices aren’t so bad I guess and I love the fact that they have alcoholic beverages and their music gets popping at times

Biwling is always fun riggt? Thats what i always thouggt but by the time we left i never wanted to bowl again. Here is the list. 1. The staff was not pkeasanr. 2. Had to waut for a pair of shoes. 3. There were only 20 balls available. None with riggt size holes. 4. The food was bad. 5. Tbe service was worse. Yuck

I came here on 11÷25÷15 for a friend’s bday on their «Quarter Mania» night and like many of these nights the bar area is a complete disaster. They only have 1 bartender (some grumpy old lady) who is beyond slow and continuously skips people because her system allows for people to cut constantly. She goes up and down the bar one by one and then returns back down one by one. People are constantly just jumping the line to the section where she’s currently serving.
My advise;
Get MORE bartenders on your busy nights. It’s not rocket science!

Floors are somehow super sticky and super slippery at the same time, and made it impossible to bowl without either falling over or getting stuck and dropping the ball. I didn’t feel like any of the staff I interacted with cared about their job.
Absolutely not worth $ 20 per person. Might be worth it on their super discounted nights.

My boyfriend and I come here every time we go bowling but last night was such a horrible experience with our food and service! They were so rude and our food took more than 40 min even thought it seemed like more since I was starving! So I went to the food area after that time and they kept of saying 5 more min. It was just horrible! The bowling alley it self wasn’t bad but the girls working at the food place. I was uncomfortable that I was so worried if they had spat on my food. I wish they knew how to handle the situation as oppose to making me feel bad.

After 9pm bowling is cheap on some days! Always have a good time… But the staff is not always in a good mood. Food is good, but takes a while to be ready! Overall good spot to hang out.

i wanna say that this place is amazing i love it here, came here like a long time ago but i came here with people who didnt appreciate the place they said they were bored and we skipped the place and went to the mall but i loved it here …

Clean and friendly staff. Weekday specials include 50% off at the snack bar. I get a large pizza n pitcher of sprite for $ 12!

For Father’s Day this year (2014) I asked a couple of friends if they wanted to join my hubby, our baby girl, and me to some bowling at Del Rio Lanes in Downey.
If you need to rent shoes, they take one of your shoes as ransom. But their bowling shoes are clean and seem kind of newer — unlike other places I have frequented. They have a sock machine if you forget socks… I didn’t see any pairs available in this vending machine, but I’m sure if you asked, they could help.
We never had issues with the game, pins, or bowling ball machine.
Check out their times & special events for even cheaper bowling dates. It means going earlier, but it’s less crowded and not many birthday parties from 10 am to noon. We paid for 2 $ 3 games on that Sunday, then when a birthday group came in, the employees asked us if we wanted a free game if we moved lanes. Heck yea… We moved in the midst of a game & enjoyed our free 3^rd game like easy breezy.
Squeezy’s Pizza is inside toward the front entrance. There’s a full bar in the middle, but if you want non-​alcoholic beverages and some pretty decent pizza, they hook it up… They also have burgers, sandwiches, and other finger foods like nachos, wings, popcorn chicken, chicken strips, etc.
Our group had a couple pitchers of Shock Top ($ 9.50 each) from the bar. My medium Sprite was under $ 3 and our large 2-​topping pizza from Squeezy’s we all shared was like $ 18. The pizza was ready for us to walk back and pick up within like 12 minutes, though, it wasn’t busy at that time (11:30-ish).
All of the employees here are real nice including the bar & Squeezy’s.
There is a designated smoking room. A few video games. Decent parking lot, but I imagine it can fill up at certain times. Great atmosphere. Family-​oriented. Yes, the woman’s handicapped stall has a baby changing station! And yes, there is a lane, maybe even more, that accommodates wheelchairs. This latter part is what made me push my rating up to 5 stars, no joke.
It’s fun to bowl here every once in a while. Something different to do and laugh at yourself. Of course, leagues & tournaments play here too, though. Mostly decent, safe area of Downey.

Love this place on Tuesdays!
$ 2 games can’t beat that on a weekday!
Plus they have a pretty cool small bar inside. their selection I not so grand but hey it’s a freakin bowling alley.
Love love love to have a not so pricey bowling night every so often.

What can you say its a bowling joint! my niece has had her Bday here 4 yrs in a row
Staff is great

This review is just for the bar… and 4 stars to the bartender, who is awesome!
She did a great job. Stiff drinks, fair price.
The pizza at the little place inside is super cheeeeesy, too! Yum.

Fun with friends on Thursday! This place is awesome. Especially on Thursdays. You can rent your shoes and get 3 games for $ 10. Also, pizza is .75 a slice and $ 1 hot dogs. The pitcher of light beer is only $ 4.50. Can’t beat those prices.

ZERO STARS.
It was a ripp off. Told 4 different prices over the course of 2 days. Called ahead and asked for cosmic bowling for Saturday. One person said 16 including shoes. Awesome! Online shows 16. Awesome just double checking. Went in and was told 80 all together for 4. 20 per person so 16 plus tax. Huh? Then don’t take card atm is 2 dollar charge. Just strike strike strike. We ended up going to Golf N Stuff down the road and saved sooo much money. Would recommend that place instead for fun!

Got to the alley around 11:30 PM for a friend’s birthday. Didn’t even let us finish the game we PAID for. Shut down the lane/​kicked out at 12:30 AM.
I’m sorry, but if your sign out front says you are open until 1:00 AM I expect to be able to continue until that point. Had they done the same at 1:00 AM this would all be okay. Very rude and I won’t be coming back here.

Been during lunchbreak twice now. Cheap games (2.50), cheap beer (2.50 for draft domestic), no crowds at all. There’s a pizza place attached that has ½ off pizzas. The pizza is decent, just be sure to get that discount (the girl tried to charge full price). The lanes themselves are fine.
$ 10 minimum on credit cards.

Near bowling spot in Downey, CA. They have specials Monday and Tuesday nights, bowling for 99 cents and happy hour is a must. If your a smoker and can’t wait to go outside in the cold and your soo into they game well you can smoke inside! Not literally inside, but they provide a smoking room just for smokers. Its pretty cool because it has clear windows so you can see everybody and everybody can see you. Its a bit stuffy because of all the smoke but its cool.
No cosmo nights during the week only on the weekends. They sale food here too, pizza, burgers, and nachos. Pitcher of beer 11 dollars, great for unwinding and have fun with friends. :)
