Reviews of Gable House Bowl (Bowling Alley)

David Budde

I come here every Friday morning for an El Camino College bowling class (awesome btw), and I didn't think much of the place, just another bowling alley, BUT today WOW! Let's just say that Aaron at the concession stand is an awesome human being. I had a small problem and he hooked it up. Thanks Aaron! This world needs more people like you. See you next week. :)

Mishawnda Borthwell

It's fun the drinks are amazing the staff is great place all around

Olga Palacios

Nice place

Yazmin Valenzuela

Love the Quarter-mania Mondays at laser storm! it's a great deal, lines get a little long and it's quite a wait but its worth the prices! definitely will have more family game nights there!

Adriana Gibbs

It's a good place to go with friends, good drinks and food

Great place to enjoy some food and a good friendly bowling session

brandon wilburn

I really like this bowling house.

Ashley Nunez

Went to a birthday party and they were very friendly and helpful.

sandy garcia

Love this place. The little arcade area is nice. They have laser tag and bowling. Great place for family or friends getting together. There is a bar inside for those that like to drink. They have a small pizza Hut stand for food.

Markela Williams-Collins

Karaoke is super fun and the food is pretty good for bowling alley cuisine. Reasonable prices but the experience is great. Good people, fun crowd.

Nicole Lauro

Great for kids, just found out they had an amazing bar out of all these year's.

Allen Neil Pajarellano

Quite and amazing place. A bowling house for group of friends that would get along. Very accessible from place since its right down at hawthorne. There's even a laser tag area in the compound. Also, at night in can be really busy so there will be a wait time. Quite a lot of parking spaces so definitely would not be a problem.

Cristo Zavala

Recently renovated and open all week, a great place to bring the kids for some fun and even a bar for the adults to enjoy. Quarter mania, tuesday night when snacks and drinks are 25¢, is great but very crowded. Overall fun place.

CM Galaxy Jam

Reasonably priced with coupons, friendly staff, and awesome 80s playlist (not the songs played over and over on throwback stations). I would suggest updating their menu on Google Maps. The prices are a little higher and some items are no longer available.

Sheka

Cool bowling alley we went for my sister birthday and we all had a blast

Jeally Mitchell

Excellent location. Nice clean and fun establishment.

Angie Garcia

My family and I enjoyed our time here. The pizza was yummy, the staff was courteous. I can't wait to make it a family bowling knight.

John Frixione

It is a fun place to bowl and have fun.

Mary Youngblood

I am on a league. Love this place.

Trouva Dore

Great place to hang out have a few drinks and enjoy good friends company

October Holder

I love "Wingsdays",but haven't been in over a year. And needless to say quite a few things have changed! For example,the wings,although 50cent,are undercooked,and the seasoning,don't get me started. Let's not forget the $1 jello shots are NOW TWO FREAKIN DOLLARS,in the same size cups they've always been in,WTH!

Jeremy Ferrero

Good Family Fun and a nice bar

tlao coyani

Great spot for family fun. Groupon gives good deals (some times). wheelchair/mobility inparement accessable. Can get crowded inside as well as the parking lot. Food drinks available. Alcoholic beverages as well. Small arcade. Tables. Party area.

Kennedy Bell

Great food and service

Jaiden Arnold

So fun and not crowded good food fast service

T C

Lots of lanes. Fun arcade. Staff are super helpful and nice. Prices are very good, especially for the area. Our first time bowling since we had a little one and we all had more fun than we expected. We will definitely go back.

Raph Crawford

Fun for all friends and family!

Charles Frazier

Very nice place to bowl

Ben M

The staff is very friendly and the lanes there are perfect for my type of hook bowling and has many fun leagues for junior bowlers, adults, and senior players. All of the place is well organized and a friendly atmosphere.

Sport Montana

I’m lost my wallet here last year if anyone had seen a green wallet with a power ranger logo on it and chain please email me

Jason Bednorz

They need a better AC system. Other then that, it was a great bowling alley to enjoy a kids birthday party

Daisy Gonzalez

Very sad thing that happened here :(

MINI DELACERNA

THEY WERE ON THE NEWS. HAD A SHOOTING

David Lacroix

Great bowling alley. With a full bar, bowling shop, little arcade, and food.

Shontique Blanche

Really cool as far as bowling and the karaoke bar

Mikeal Adams

Clean, nice lanes, enjoyed the atmosphere.

Eric Wu

Gable House Bowl has been a staple in the community for year upon years. The recent renovations are nice. It's no Lucky Strike, but it's definitely a 5 star bowling alley if your a league player or just want a good time with the family.

Jessica De Haro

Security everywhere seems like we were in county jail. Visiting someone getting patted metal detecters

Pam's World

This place is really fun and has and arcade and other stuff too. Also, there is laser tag in that same plaza.

Vero Gutierrez

This was our first time and we loved it! Kids really had a great time and can't wait to come back. Very reasonable prices!!

O M

Great place to bring a group of friends and spend the night bowling and having lots of fun. And for the adults, there's a bar inside for any thirsty people. Plus a snack bar offering pizza, nachos, hot dogs, and deep fried goodness. Can't go wrong here

Jim Ludwig

waited for service waited more went to waited more. clocked past happy hour as we were waiting at bar. bartender said happy hour over and walked away. 1 star due to unable to give no stars.

Timothy Greenwood

Enjoyable place.

Josh Shriber

A nice good size bowling alley. Has a nice little bar inside with good food and drinks. We have a 5 year old and he really enjoys bowling here. We usually Bowl 2 games. In-between those games will head up to the arcade and play some of those games for a few minutes. It was pretty quiet an empty today around 3 p.m.

Jessica J

Have always loved bowling here, since a young and able-bodied child(I even had my 9th & 15th birthday parties here and bowled on a league with a cple girl friends from school @ the age of 13-had sum really gr8 times and made some excellent memories here) to being able to bowl @ 39-yrs-old now, being disabled and in a wheelchair since the age of 18. They have a ramp for us, "gimps" as well as an lil elevator and a wooden ramp, if u need!

Michael Ecle

Slick lanes. Good for practicing a long oil pattern

CATHY CLARK

We had the best birthday party ever here! Lalo and Chad were the best employee/ laser trainers one could hope for! We had 20 teenagers spend 7 hours locked in for laser tag and they had a blast!!! I suggest this place to every parent who is in search of a safe and fun way to celebrate their older teenagers birthday!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

Rocinante

Gable House Bowl is one of those places for nostalgia-seekers, the equipment is modern, but this place really hasn't changed much since I first visited in the early 90s, pizza hut for the kids, laser tag in the next building over, an arcade worth visiting for it's own sake, and a good alcohol selection to top it all off. Thank you Gable House, please never change.

Leilani Guzman

Fun place to hang out . Play. And drink. After the incident it has been struggling. However I still love this place

Timatia Cooper

Love this place.

Jessica Figueroa

Had a blast celebrating my friend from high school's birthday Jaime Diaz ( shout out to him) singing karaoke. I would definitely recommend & come back. I came from Yucaipa CA

Blossom Heart

These bowling alley has great deals and all the staff are friendly. The place is always clean. I had a blast with my boyfriend.

shane caldwell

It's a fun place. Not too modern but hey it's bowling!

Christian Cavallo

So I came to what I thought was a lovely establishment tonight and during my first game of bowling our lane shut down twice. So my friends and I decide to take a break and get a beer, and the “bartender” at Jacks Place denied our ids even though we are all 21+ which pissed us all off. We decide to go back and finish our game of second game of bowling and the machine breaks down again and at that point we were done and we got our money refunded and we left. Thanks for a great time though, what a lovely establishment :-)

Sarah Zamora

Great food snake bar. Pizza hut pizza and fries. Taste great.

XxhologirlxX 123

Had such a good time with my babies here.

Michael Cote

Lanes are always well-kept and staff is friendly. On tuesdays, saturdays and fridays they have Karaoke night, which can get pretty wild sometimes, super fun. On Mondays they have quartermania after 9pm, when hotdogs and nachos are a quarter. During the summer its all day. Very good arcade section too!! Pinball, driving, ticket games, and a prize counter with lots to choose from for the kids. Or adults, lol!

Kari Gaul

We had a great time. Expensive outing. Still looks the same from 20 years ago, it ought to be updated to match the price

Jaquesha Scott

Karaoke and bowling was solid but service of food throughout the place was very substandard. If you didn't have to chase a waitress down to correct your order, you at least had to go up to the bar to ask for silverware and napkins. The pizza hut was solid but the non pizza hut affiliated food was barely edible. So basically everything not related to food was great food/service related to food was terrible and only things holding back from 5 stars.

David

Legit place to bowl...may be the best alley in south bay.

Trey Woodring

Updated look so much nicer than before lanes are kept well and rarely does the machine not calculate it incorrect like some places amf for example and the staff is super nice

Joe Crawford

It is a great family outing. The lanes are great we were at a Birthday party. Great great great.

Tom Bowlby

It's a bowling alley with a full bar... what else do.you want? Yes, its 60+ years old and it shows.. the electronic control is easy to use.. I'll be back for sure.. wish it was upgraded a bit, but it makes money without the upgrades..

Magaly Sanchez

Clean place, they have a variety of things to do (mini arcade, bowling. laser tag), they have Pizza Hut inside and I believe they also have other snacks you can buy. They offer you free socks with your bowling shoes if you need them (and of course you can keep them after). Great service, very fun, family friendly. The prices are great too

Sung Hoon Chung

Reminds me of jopok

Yulonda Buntyn

Always love it hear. Friendly environment. They only have 2 bar tenders so the service is pretty slow

Steve hudson

I haven't been to this place in decades. It looks like it's been that long since it's been decorated? I understand it's a bowling alley and all, but my teenage daughters had to climb over a passed out girl in the bathroom that was covered in her own vomit. I guess they pour a strong drink here? Either that or they over serve. Either way, not a great thing. I couldn't figure out why there were a bunch of security guards outside and then I discovered there was a triple homicide shooting there not too long ago? I guess Torrance isn't what it used to be?

Monique Thomas

I went with my little ones to bowl and they absolutely loved it!!!! I like the automatic bumpers and the rail they provide for them. My daughter wants to have a party there now.

Daniel Romãn

Bar is where I spend most of my time on fridays and Saturdays for karaoke.. Steve is a fantastic karaoke DJ he takes he's job seriously and make sure your having a great time. Tip generously or buy him a drink you will have a good time...

Chris Graue

Best bowling alley around. Come hungry, because the bar actually makes really great, high quality food. Skip the pizza counter and order out of Jack's Place in the back

Ian Payne

Friend went to the bathroom and our game got canceled while she was peeing. We were kinda mad but decided to go play laser tag across the lot so we just were like "eh whatever". Thought that was lame though. The server with the reddish hair and glasses is super accommodating and nice.

Lvlyketomeeh Bradley

Always a good time. Bowling or if you just want a good inexpensive drink at the bar with Karaoke. Been coming here for years never had a bad experience.

Bernard Gordon Jr

Easy fun for the family! Especially their late night weekend 'Glow Bowl'

candy crowson

Been there 4ever. Bar in back. Dive bar feel but I've always had a good time their. Great for family as well.

Steven Palomino

My friend had the birthday party here. The place is clean and has a nice atmosphere. But they didn’t have my size of shoes available.

papi2real

My spot... Going there for years my Auntie is on a bowling team... I won the raffle

Kien Tsoi

Super cute and retro!!

Ely Schaffer

Went to a b-day party for a friends son and the experience was terrible. They party was to include one hour of bowling for 15 people on 3 lanes. One of the lanes was so damaged that the shoes would not slide properly and therefore was not useable for 55 minutes of the hour. They also paused the time for 10 minutes so that they could oil the lanes and then shut the lanes down 10 minuted early which made it to where many of the children couldn't even finish their games. When I expressed my frustrations to one of the party helpers he responded by telling me how he doesn't care about my opinion because I'm only one person and he probably maked more money than I do because he has other jobs. Do yourself a favor and have your next bowling party at Bowlero.

Rosa Camacho

Loved it

Fred Nicholson

Always have been the family friendly bowling alley with plenty of lanes. One of the original bowling houses with Cosmo Bowling started back in 1988

Mario Laflora

Great maintenance and service

Dan Urban

Fun place; about typical for a bowling alley. They obviously offer bowling, and they have a small arcade with video games and kids skill games. The alleys are nice and clean, and offer modern video screens and electronic score keeping. I don't really know how expensive bowling usually is, but this seemed a touch pricey to me. However, it was packed, so I am guessing the price is actually average. This was a fun way to kill an evening with the family.

L Miller

This is Truly one of my favorite Hangouts on Friday or Saturday night, the atmosphere is chill for group gatherings and the refreshments will do the job, until you leave at a fair price. That being said it can get crazy if too hype in the place at night on the weekends. Use your discretion. The staff is awesome and the locals tend to pretty cool.

Stay real

If I can give this place 100 negative stars I would in a quick second. Horrible customer service at the snack bar. They were talking away and not paying attention to me waiting 30 minutes to receive my food and I was on my lunch for work. The food is over price and nasty. Just horrible. NEVER going there again. Waste of my time and money!!!

Keyana Holloway

The security in the front is very rude and discriminative. I was there for my sisters birthday party and got there before her so I sat in the parking lot and waited. Our other friend got a ride from another friend and they pulled up next to my car, the people who dropped her off were NOT staying or going in. They were drinking outside their own car and no one was smoking. He asked him to put the drink away and leave and he did just that. However me and my friend who only got dropped off weren’t allowed inside after that. Why? Because according to the security we were all drinking and smoking.. where? Because we didn’t do anything. And he said since y’all together y’all gotta leave I stated I drove my own car, he didn’t care and when asked for a manager they told us none was available and they gave us a bullshit card to call that didn’t work, because we kept being put on hold. I recommend you don’t go here because security guards are rude and don’t care. Neither does the person who owns the place because there was no manager to talk to about the situation. I’m convinced no one could care less.

andrew lee

This place is lit. I asked the bartender to make me a custom maitai. I woke up on my kitchen floor with food still on the table.i guess I didn't make it lololol

Tien Ngo

It's a nice big bowling alley.

Anahit Mirza

Cool pickings, love this location, super fun and lots of space for parking and good staff

David Wyatt

Completely DISCRIMINATED from the door. Staff followed my party to the Lanes and Hovered over us the Entire time. We were questioned about CUPS we received from the snack Bar! And Later Asked to Leave Accused of "Smelling like Marijuana".....As we left I heard the Waitress say to security, "you forgot 2 MORE!! In the BATHROOM!!!"......FYI my ENTIRE PARTY HAD LEFT ALREADY I was TURNING in SHOES!.....The 2 guys were the same ETHNICITY as Myself But were NOT with my Party! #Discrimination

Vince Ray

Dorothy Elizabeth Clark

We go her Saturday mornings for family bowling. Nice helpful staff, good lanes.

Ronnie Cansler

Fun for kids to have a great time.

Jeff Edwards

They really need to get a new oiling machine or someone who knows how to oil lanes. Only left hander on pair, never got any oil and urethane broke 18 boards . Please oil the lanes

Ihab Ghobrial

Nice customer service

Kenneth Burt

This venue accommodates even the largest parties. They treated us with respect and with extreme courtesy.

pravin kumaar

Very good option for a team party. Quite cheap if you buy hours. Has good discounts for sunday morning. House serves delicious lemonade.

Bill Hartnett

It's the best lanes in the area. I don't think anyone would argue that. Clean, the people are nice, and Rick's in the bar actually has really good food.

Thomas Kruger

New add-ons are fun and make the experience more enjoyable. Great for league bowlers too!

Lucas Miller

Bowling AND laser tag wow! The Ghostbusters pinball machine is a nice touch.

Kopiolinia Daniels Jones

Love the ammenities..

D S H

Good family place but some lanes malfunctioned many times. Very good mozzarella sticks !

Jeffrey nakano

Always great service and do a wonderful job hosting my team parties for over a decade!!!

G'Sugga Jones

**MONDAY'S ARE THE BEST BARGAIN** DAYSGreat place for any type of outing alone or with family (kids included). *My only suggestion is just need a bigger restroom for the woman no space to have mirror time and some stalls are too small that you have to stand either straddled like s cowboy over the toilet or on either side of the toilet just to close the bathroom stall door.) --->My only complaintis that the arcade games cost a to much money to play so its hard for the kids to win "Big-Prizes" that they have to offer for their tickets;also shine games are a ticket rip off too<---

Nathand Carter

Gable House.... Used to be the spot. It was a place filled with fun and excitement as a kid. But as a young adult (21-35) it's a very different experience. The nostalgia factor only lasts so long before you realize, the place has not kept up with the times. Like not even a little bit. Unless the management gets on top of updating and even TRYING to change their face, especially in light of recent events, this place will fall apart, and I don't wanna see that happen. When you walk into the building, after being scanned by security (it's sad that they have to be there now but thankful they are there) you walk into a drab, although clean space, that seems to be a snapshot from the mid 90s post-tack , pre dotcom bubble era. Needless to say. It's burnt. It's an uncomfortable vibe. The management should suspend ops and reopen after reviatalizing the space with remodeling, upgrading facilities, and changing the way security and staff work with guests. It still has the potential. Y'all just gotta change face.

DR. TR!PPY

Family friendly drinks and good food

Jose Godinez

The service was great the attendant at the shoe rental had a great personality and was very easy to talk to.

Jessica Rand

Completely remodeled from when I used to have my birthday parties here back in the day. Very modernized

Kawaii anime girl

We had a Great Time!!!!! Wylde Bunch was Fantastic!!!!! Great Food!!!!! We Enjoyed Ourselves

LaVeL DeLone

Cool bowling alley. It isn't state of the art but clean and nice. Great staff including the friendly security. Karaoke is a winner. Good food, drinks, great atmosphere and crowd. The Karaoke host or KJ is the best. Great selection of music.

Todd Parker

Have not been bowling in 25 years. It was fun for the four of us. Wanted to play a video game but the machine does not take quarters, takes cards. Wow I need to catch up. Got our gutter balls on and knocked some pins into next week. Felt good

Tishi T

Great family or solo place togo something for everyone

Maoco Elkins

Felt like I was in the Twilight zone. Loud crowd in the bar during karaoke. Wouldn't go back. I didn't enjoy it at all but glad my friend did who was celebrating her bday!

Tony Khanou

It's very sad place.

Alex

Awesome place to bowl with friends

Abel Delagarza

Nichole Malea

I always have a blast here!

Zadom 1

Pretty decent bowling alley. Modern controls for scoring.

Jawann Bowie

I go during Nightwalker hours after 10p so I cannot comment on Gable House during day hours. Great lanes and good staff with security present when I go during those late nights.. Equipment is well managed and from my own personal experiences, rarely breaks down. Great place if you want to bowl on late nights for a very fair price.

ray rhone jr

Fun place good price

Cesar Morales

Love this place been bowling here for over 10 year's. They have great food, drinks and excellent service.

Sophias nailart

Laser tag was fun so was bowling

Michelle Buchanan

Laser Storm was utterly fantastic!! Kids had a blast

Dennis Collins

Great facelift w the night Glow effects and custom themed score frames. Food is C maybe less depending upon what you order. Beer selection below average w mostly pilsner tasting beer eventhoug tap handles insinuate better offerings.

Michael Midknight

Man it has been more than 4 years since I was last here and I have to say that it was a great nostalgic moment. They upgraded there scoring system along with their lanes and chairs. It is a great place to bring the family if you mostly want to bowl long and cheap. They was even connect to El Camino College Bowling class, which is a great way to properly learn bowling. It doesn't have much of an arcade but too if you are going to bowl, then arcades aren't fully needed. A must visit if in the South Bay area.

Shawn Mancera

3 good men were just killed there , and a woman was killed there last year.if you are trying to stay alive then do not visit this place. needs to get shut down

thomas cooper

Came here for the first time for a birthday party. Very nice.
