REVIEWS OF Pali Lanes Bowling Center IN Hawaii

La Coleman

Love the small family centered vibe historic pali lanes gives. The snack bar is top notch, way more options than one would expect from a bowling alley

Kelsey Olson

Historic bowling alley, I loved the retro feel and everyone was laid back and nice. The lanes were well kept and we had no issues with any stuck pins, or the equipment not working. The place is cash only, but it was very cheap to bowl, you could even buy socks super cheap! The equipment is older but it’s well cared for and rocks the retro vibe for sure. I had a ton of fun and would definitely recommend! If more people bowled there they could definitely use the money to fix up the outside, don’t be intimidated by it.

Dennis Shewell

Had fun bowling with friends

Connor Carry

Lovelyn Rodrigues

There's a league and a fundraising event happening go inquirer looks like fun.!!!!

Jonathan Punohu

If you're looking for a place to have a good time with your family, pali lanes is the perfect place. If you're looming for a place to go, this isn't your place. Easily the worst lanes I've ever had the displeasure of bowling on. Poorly taken care of lanes and systems and extremely oily and not taken care of lanes

Josephine Kane-Royos

Great for family and friends! Best kind grindz, not bad prices and friendly environment. Country style ans awesomeeeee!

Thomas Stanley

Anne Davis

We are a friendly bunch that tips well and is respectful and the bartender here was pretty awful and rude. I would say.. do NOT go here and waste your money. Bad customer service!

Evan Knight

This place is totally ok. Staff was really nice. Its a little old.

James Panozzo

Nathan Weil

To be honest the prices are ridiculously high for a sub par scene, dated systems with old bowling equipment which ain’t labeled on top of that.

Ryan Yasuda

sonya baker

Staff is friendly and patient. Lanes are in okay condition, kept up well.

Cassidy Tabata

Just FYI, there are 4 bowling alleys on O'ahu. They are: Pali Lanes, Leeward Bowl, Aiea Bowl, and Barbers Point Bowling Center.

Andrew Ching

Haven't picked up a bowling ball in twenty years. Still remembered the fundamentals. Had a great time with the family.

Kawika DelRosario

Debra Naleieha

It's the only public lanes open in the area aside of Kaneohe Marine Base. The lanes are pretty good. The concession has good local food. The only downside is the parking lot. Not well kept. Anyway, for a lot of good memories here.

Bowling is fun. Costs about the same as a movie for the same amount of time spent.

yall need more selection at the food bar !

Tina Kimball

The people that work here seem nice and I get that it's a local classic, but this place is a dump. All the equipment is old, but mostly functional, but everything is really dirty. There is loose equipment everywhere. The arcade games don't work. My group mostly had fun by making fun of the place. It's not bad, but I won't bother going back.

KK2 KRAZY

It's a good family fun place for family night good food as well

Kapua Willing

Almost lost you. This is the only family recitation there is on that side. Good clean fun. Land mark. Just hope the prices don't go sky high.

Rufino Ridela

Bowling back in the day. That's what it makes you kinda feel like. A little bust up after all these years gone by. Crazy but it's still a great place for the family to play a few fun lanes of Bowling. Anyways my family enjoyed the fun we had together over at the PALI LANES.

Ashley Adams

Definitely needs an upgrade however, I love the music they play! Maybe I'm showing my age but heyyyy bumping some missy elliot, B2K, all the oldies yessss!! And the workers were so nice!

mary quartana

Keep the Pali Lanes! What a fun place and great for families and party get togethers. Yes , it is very old school, but that's the charm about it! I believe it's been around since 1981. Inexpensive, open daily, Karaoke bar, you can bring your own food for parties, free parking and a whole lot of fun! Definitely give it a try!

Reid Isaki

Cheap, clean and fun

Joe Hubbard

I'm going to miss this place. It's old, but such a unique place. They don't make em like this anymore

Justin Pires

I always have a good time here with my buddies. The people who work here are very friendly and the prices are fair.

Hannah T

fun place to go but call ahead because some times they have leagues at night and its full

Jay Lamping

Totally old school bowling alley with 1980's equipment. the place is a very cool low key atmosphere and the feeling of a small town hang out with out the clutter of new technology. We has a blast and celebrate family night.

Chris

Bowling was cheap but there weren't any numbers on most of the balls so you had no idea how heavy they were.

Travis Scarangello

Good bowling.

Coming from NZ where bowling is $15 per game, the prices were great! The facility itself is pretty run down - needs some money put into it asap.

Old very run down, very small and dirty food place

Tara Kosmosky

Adam Bien

Good ol' Pali Lanes! So ghetto that it's charming. Seriously, though, it's one of the four places left on the island to actually bowl. And two of the others are on military bases. Maaaany memories from little kid days coming here and playing video games.

Craig Abalos

The only public bowling alley on the whole Windward side don't take this historic landmark away from the kids,adults and the elderly that go there to excersize, relax and socialize

Kenton Bohenko

Old and dated but fun for the kids. Wouldnt recommend for serious bowlers.

Nanette Nishimura

Need to get the air conditioner working better it's hot.

Jamie Davidson

Craig Udy

Peter Vanosdall

Service was friendly and helpful, but it is an old place with old computers for running the games and not a great selection of bowling balls. The bar is small but nice.

Kenny Kimbel

Stopped by Pali Lanes after our hike got rained out one day and received by far the worst customer service I have ever had on the island. During our second game a staff member walked up to our lane and shut off our game on the seventh frame without warning and told us that we would need to manually keep our score without allowing us to write down our score first. After this I went to pay for the one full game I played and they refused to take off the second game that was restarted and tried to charge us for a third game which we never even played and called me a liar over seven dollars. This is a shady business and I will never go here again.

Victoria Gevara

it may not have been the most clean but it was fun

Tolai Faasaei

Worst bowling place ever in hawaii. Bad customer service. They won't care about their customers. Worst bowling experience I've ever had.

Trailrunning Dad

Run down place. Not a good experience.

Jen S

Thelma Remotap

Jeffrey Riehle

Its old but a classic spot. One of the only bowling alleys on the island (non-military) magical times inside and in the parking lot. Sweet spot to hang in Kailua.. the bar has some stiff drinks. Lots of night bowling

Kelly Strait

great place to wind down after a day at the beach. they also do bowling bonuses for some added fun!

TN Haole

Rick Watts

Had a great time there

KEALII HANOHANO

Awesome! And my daughters had fun, the staff was helpful & courteous, environment was very clean. If you live in the Kailua area you should definitely come and support Pali Lanes so that they can stay in business!

Very friendly people, you can bowl an have a beer and have great fun with family an friends

Elliott Leandro

For bowling it's fine, if your concerned with the facility then this place isn't for you. The facility needs much tlc. There is a food vendor inside but the food is overpriced for what you get but there's food. The workers are okay don't expect big smiles or much energy but they respond pretty well and its a no nonsense kind of place.

Damian Gonzalez

Bar smells terrible, bowling balls aren't labeled. Only women and children are allowed to use lighter balls. Definitely should turn this place into a parking lot.

Eljay Ferreira

Fun place, reasonable prices. Great for families and parties. Supports the community, youth bowling program, schools and the Special Olympics program. Beautiful murals on walls painted by the late Ron Artis.

Jaereen Johnson

Excellent family atmosphere

Fun place but very out of date, cash only.

Raymond Grillot

Great place. Why bother them? Let Pali Lanes live

Ostin Gagnon

Fun place to bowl and bar inside..

Christopher Kulwik

Feels...historic. Like it was the cool place to hang when my parents were in their teens.

Rochelle Chambers

Azzy McNazzy

Jannelle Alejo Calsada

It is pretty fun to bowl inside with people who compliment you that you are very good bowler since I only started a year ago.

Crystal Kaluhiokalani

Mark Stinton

Eric Trobeck

Chill spot to hang out and enjoy bowling with friends. Closes a little early, 11pm, 12 on Friday's...not the fanciest alley but a fun spot. Good grinds around the alley

Neto.portillo Alvarez

Best place to go with family especially on cosmic nights

(Translated by Google) A 5-year-old son who loves bowling jumped into the summer youth program. With enthusiastic guidance, the score was around 60 in the second class without a bumper. I went there almost every day for 3 weeks. It was a wonderful place to feel the real Hawaii. I didn't meet the Japanese once, whether it was unknown to the Japanese. If you ask us to lend 4 lightballs, it will come out from behind, so even small children can enjoy it. (Original) 5歳のボーリングが大好きな息子が、夏のユースプログラムに飛び入り参加させてもらいました。熱心な指導を受けて、2回のクラスでバンパー無しでスコアは60くらいになりました。3週間の滞在でほぼ毎日通いました。本当のハワイを感じられる、素晴らしい場所でした。日本人には知られていないのか、一度も日本人に会いませんでした。ライトボール4パウンドを貸して下さいと言うと、裏から出してくれるので、小さな子供も楽しめます。

So much potential...wish I could get an angel investor or two and we could really shine up this historical jewel of Kailua.

Anthony Nole

Fun spot

Pete Hansen

Really friendly staff and a bargain price for bowling.

Ishia Kaawa

Ghetto and over priced. The only reason we had a good time is because we laughed at the unbelievable ambiance of the building.

David Knight

One of the few bowling alleys that remain so I suppose choices are limited, especially on this side of the island. This place has been here a long time, and it looks it. Parking lot is beat up, inside is grungy looking. The Filipino man helping us at the front desk was very hard to understand and kinda rude. Some of the score monitors on the alleys are very dimly lit and hard to read, they're old and look like they were installed in the 1950's, which they probably were. When we told the staff about it they pretty much said "sorry, that's how it is." Food is good but overpriced. The actual game when played with your friends or family is fun. So there's that.

lloyd makaila

Relaxing get away when you just need to have fun!

Sherekahn Tiger

Great fun for the whole family= )

Oren Tavares

Kai Sanehira

Madison Eror Selfaison

One of the few places left to bowl. Gets crowded but is still super fun!

Joaquin Diaz

An old bowling alley with good food and fun for the family.

It’s a decent local bowling spot. My biggest qualm are their bowling balls. There is not a wide variety in sizes, some have extra holes in them and most don’t lost their weight.

Nathan Brewer

Emily Burnett

Fast friendly service. Not enough ball choices though.

Jake Tippy

D Akagi

This is the best place to go bowling. People are so friendly here. A great place for the leagues to play. This bowling alley is for all ages to play. The restaurant food is always cooked on the spot and fresh.

Angel

Nikki DeWitt

Awesome family fun. The staff are friendly, the facility is clean, and the bowling is FUN! I would rate it 5 stars if the facility were updated, but I understand it's good old fashioned fun on the cheap for a reason! I really hope it is able to stick around, as there are few options for families in Kailua for entertainment now a days.

Jordan Csigi

Kris M

Great bowling alley. Family friendly and inexpensive.

Jeremy Green

I got harassed and verbally assaulted by someone that works there, or claiming he works there. The man had no identification showing that he worked at this bowling alley. Came up to me said I could not use the 10 pound balls as they are for women and children , which they do have a sign saying so but I just didn't see it. Then he threatened me by saying he'd smash my head against the balls at which I replied I dare him and then he shut up. Absolutely horrible experience no customer service no professionalism. Later on during my bowling the same dude walks over to my Lane now, wearing a shirt that identifies him at the bowling alley and asked if we were good . I said no because he come up to me trying to bully me. I wasn't having it. words were exchanged between both sides overall just a horrible place, needs a update needs new faculty. Overall this is a ghetto place. I end my rant.

I think it is the greatest bowling alley in hawaii and did you
