What People Are Saying About Hollywood Bowl

In Short – Monte Carlo gives bowlers a chance knock down colored pins for money, while Rock'it bowling on Saturday nights throws off a black-lit neon atmosphere. Bowlers can enjoy burgers, hot dogs and sandwiches, or a chicken Caesar salad. And for the late riser, breakfasts are served until 4pm daily. The Player's Club is one of only two full-service bowling bars in town, plus Keno, pool, video games and karaoke every Friday and Saturday night.

Awesome Time, Great Lanes, and good service

by blacklab08

I had a great time, and so did my friends. We might be back for a league as well. A great place to find for my first time on Citysearch.

Check out their burgers and fries, better than you might expect.

  • Pros: Nice service, clean hanging out area, good rates
  • Cons: Too bad their not open later!

I love this place!

by Jules2U

I am a league bowler and spend a large amount of time here year round. In the past year year, I have seen an unprecidented amount of managerial changes throughout the building, and it's becoming very disheartening. I truely enjoy being able to walk into an establishment that I frequent, and see familiar faces. On any given night, it's awesome to be able to walk into the bar and be happily greeted by FAMILIAR bartenders (Kate, Amber, and Sara), and to be waited on by FAMILIAR cocktailers (Liberty). What I don't like seeing is a new manager in there every 3-6 months who, in turn, ruins the morale of the employees. I continue to bowl there in part because of the staff (David, Judy, Terri, etc), and truely feel that new management has made some very disappointing decisions when letting regular, long term staff members go.

  • Pros: Friendly REGULAR staff
  • Cons: Constantly changing management

Great place to bowl

by Mister300

Hollywood is a great place to bowl. With 48 available, it's rare that you have trouble getting on a lane. The staff is very friendly. I've had great experiences with Ricky, David and Liberty. And the pro shop is run by perhaps the nicest guy in the world, Rohn - a PBA Senior Tour bowler who really knows his stuff.

I have a hard time believing the previous review that mentioned slow service and attitude from Liberty. I've always gotten great service from her. In fact, I look forward to seeing her when I go to Hollywood to bowl in my league on Tuesday nights.

It's true that the central bathrooms are pretty gross. But there are some nice, freshly remodeled ones over by the new lounge.

  • Pros: Friendly staff, ample lanes, swanky lounge, pro shop
  • Cons: One set of bathrooms is gross
