The Oak Bowl features an excellent bar poker room with round-table tournaments and cash games most evenings, including Omaha and Texas Hold'em. The bowling alley contains a large arcade and pizza restaurant, making it a full package for an evening of fun for a people of any age.

Hali Brewer

Typical bowling alley. Nice staff.

Brandi Churan

It's great for kids. I bring my kids here all the time. My kids love the arcade room and the food is a plus. We sometimes just come to play the arcade room. There is so much to do. They are even great for parties.

For a small town bowling alley it's pretty Top Notch good arcade for the kids decent prices for bowling and shoes and the food's pretty good like the idea of a game card all you can play for set prices and the prices aren't that bad

Doug Slager

Fair prices. Decent service. Best fries I've had in years. Really! The hot sub sandwich was great too.

I am a longtime customer and friend to some ppl who play in a league Wednesday evenings. I find Oak Bowl to be a great place to be at. They have good food, drinks, and a play area especially for kids, that features pinball games and video games appropriate for children under 18; rechargeable cards to play the games with, with points and rewards. They have a quieter area set aside to simply watch the teams as they play. I'm giving them a 4 star review, only because they play such explicit and offensive music when children are present. As summer league, many ppl bring their children to play while they wait. Generally, the background music is great, playing classic rock, pop, alternative, etc. But around 9p.m., they start playing the explicit, crude, hip hop videos, that I personally find offensive and vulgar. Children are exposed to these music videos of butts and breasts, explicit lyrics discribing various sexual acts and body parts that I seriously think is inappropriate for a family oriented public entertainment location to promote. I just think it inappropriate for ANY family oriented business to play the suggestively sexual lyrics and videos, unless it is a private party.

steve larue

Always a great experience.

George Houchin

Great environment pretty decent arcade just don't share an arcade card otherwise you'll have to wait 45 to 30 seconds every time other than that skee ball was 9 testic beat the beautiful woman I was playing against

D. P.

Friendly and accommodating staff. Try the Tom and Kathy pizza. There's no other place for that hometown bowling feel.Andrew, is very accommodating. Dale, is an awesome coach for youth and adults. Kerrie and Megan are also very helpful and caring folks.

P Estes

Had fun.... Really busy and understaffed.

Tyler Hamric

They have about 8 lanes If I remember correctly. The staff was all nice. The new bar that they just put in is nice, although it looks a lot different than the rest of the building. It's not blocked off or In a separate room, its wide open so you can just walk right on up. They have a good amount of beers on tap and the pizza is actually pretty solid.

Kendall Slovak

Best pizza on the island! Best garlic knots I've ever had! Fun environment, even better service.

Debra Cooney

Enjoy watching everyone have a great time. Love there hot sandwiches

natasha estes

Lots of fun. Can't wait to go agin.

Kelley Bugg

Chuck Best

Great place good food... sometimes it can be on the greasy side but the fries pickles are on point

soccerstar2450

Cross country team came here with free game tickets and we each payed like 2 bucks to play. They were patient and super cool. Great place!

Erika Hoffmire

Love this place, great for adults and kids!

mykal sykes

Not quite as up to date as most lanes you would be used to and the lane I was in definitely had a nice dent or crack. But nice people and good prices

Chris Strader

Fun place to hang with friend

J Burke

Okay food but I always had fun bowling.

Jason Snow

Came here with a few friends this last weekend just to spend time together outside of work, and we all had such an amazing time. The girl handing out shoes was very polite, and the guy running the bar was super nice and funny. We are all planning on going back again in a week or two for another fun night. Prices were fair and a great atmosphere.

Ashley J

My husband and I came in with the plan of playing pinball. We first went and asked if there were any drink specials and we were told to go to the bar and inquire further. When we went to the bar and asked about drink specials the bartender quickly interrupted his conversation with the one other person at the bar to tell us know there were no drink specials that day. Then he promptly returned back to his conversation before helping us any further. If he had told me about one drink special or perhaps even made one up on the spot I would have gladly bought it but instead he returned back to his friend so we left. We went to the game area and out of to pinball machines only one was in service. We bought a $5 unlimited play for 30 minutes so that we could play Pinball however when we went to the arcade area the pinball machine was one of few that did not work with the unlimited play option. Overall I left there with sort of a bad taste in my mouth because of lack of customer service lack of drink specials and lack of arcade games for adults. Overall it was a lacklustre experience. If I had kids and they wanted to have a birthday party I would probably choose this spot, but otherwise I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.

Alexis Weeks

Kept having to move lanes, bad service. Not recommended

Jason Jackson

Great food fun times ! Love it

Mutt

Bowling is cheap fun? arcade is okay. Food is waaay too greasy for my taste. So eat before hand?

jj richardson

Good place for family fun if you like to bowl.

Linda Panattoni

The Best Pizza

Nola Butler

Bowling and pizza? What could be better?

Bud Mo

Pretty cool place. Very Friendly staff. Kids love the arcade and bowling.

Ken Fung

Bowling and pizza! Plus an arcade for the kids!

Krystal Richardson

The lanes there are good but the pin drop and stuff messes up some times

Bill Merrow

Very good pizza - we do pickup orders which are fast and always fresh ingredients/ready to go when you arrive. bowling alley is a flashback to the 50s and 60s but with modern equipment.

LittleBilly_169 games

I was there for a friends birthday, and I have so much fun.

Anissa Topete

Horrible staff! My 2 year old daughter was struck in the face by the maintenance man while she was walking back to me. He pretty much walked into her causing her head to be pushed backwards by his hand. I was walking towards him when he disappeared into the back room. The manager was not engaged with his customers and hardly looked them in the face. Upon telling the manager he apologized but seemed distracted. After realizing I wasn't going to get help I simply told him we were leaving. We didn't even get a chance to get prizes for all the money we spent on tokens for the arcade games. The food was terrible and the booths were just hard wood booths which were very uncomfortable. I'm sorry that I wasted my money here! A horrible 5th birthday for my son.

Neil Hansen

Great place for family time

Christina Hower

Great place for family fun.

colton

Our first couple times ordering the pizza was absolutely delicious. The last handful of times we have ordered the pizza has been super greasy. Still a better option than the big chain pizza places in Oak Harbor.

Ryan Carson

Helpful staff, great food the new management are doing a great job.

Marlana Wooster

Always fun, the kids enjoy the bowling and the arcade! Just one helpful hint, if you've got any food allergies make sure you eat before you go. We made sure to emphasize a dairy intolerance and STILL got a slice of cheese on my burger, returned and they gladly fixed it but it still made me sick. Lesson learned.

John Stich

Great arcade for the kids. Friendly staff.

Grant Thompson

Cosmic Bowling on a Friday night... Good times!

John Johnson

Several lanes were out of order and lots of VERY young children made it difficult to concentrate. Still managed a 183 somehow!

Daniel Dirig

Fun place with some solid deals. I just wished the place would get a facelift

Samantha Osburn

Food took a long time to prepare. There was no clear indication as to where to pay for bowling, etc. Staff were lacking personality. Music during our session was the worst too.

Bridget Thayer

Was a New Year's Blast

Scott Shea

Great lanes and the best pizza in Oak Harbor. There pizza is one of the big reasons we make this place a family game night over the base.

Karolina Zuchowski

Good staff and pretty good pizza. Only thing is that two lanes kept creating complications. Balls weren’t returning back after we bowled.

natalie rameriz

Delicious pizza and glow night is very fun.

Mrs. Len Williams

Small town...small bowling alley. Not alot of options. Just not my cup of tea

Kayla Sabin

The lady named Bonnie that was working was super nice! Was very sad to hear she was quitting.

Ron Andrew

Awesome Bowling spot right here,will def come back..

Arthur Childs

What a great time at the local bowling alley. Super value, veteran friendly, and a lot of fun ☺

Nick Merth

Really had a great time, the unlimited option for the arcade was really awesome. Pizza wasn't terrible, and the bowling was fun. My kids and I enjoyed our time alot.. and almost came back a second night hahah. Here's a hint {I won't take a

Mark Brito

Good pizza to go with a fun bowling experience. Get there early for cosmic nights. The little arcade is great for kids.

Christina Wertz

We had a great time doing my sons birthday here. The arcade game are fun and there was a good selection for all ages. It is nice that the arcade room is separate from the bowling so the kids can run around and not bother anyone. The pizza was good and the staff was nice and helpful.

Kenny Harris

Great place for kids

Adonai Salomon

If you just go for the arcade like we did, there aren't many options, but we had a good time. $5 for 30 min unlimited (except the halo game they have) is a good deal.

Terry Lucas

We always have a great time. family fun. Birthday parties. Pizza and beer and of course bowling winch can be even more fun when you don't know how lot of laughs and they have a great arcade PS the bars not too bad things are awesome no water there LOL

Garrett Machen

Great Place to Take Family and Friends!!

Timothy Mendoza

Go Saturday nights or whenever they have the cosmic bowling night. 15$ a person for three hours.

Jen MCustomer

I am pleasantly surprise that they have made good food over the years. Very family friendly and recently improved their menu items. Fries used to be separate, now they are part of the meal. But you can still order them as a single item. Burgers are juicy and made your way. Pizza is pretty good. Service can be prompt or a little slow depending on how busy the bowling ally is. Cleanliness is a 5 star. I noticed they have had some of the same employees for years. This place is great because while you wait for your food there is a arcade to keep children occupied. Or perhaps your there to bowl too ;)

Coffee with Milk

They got rid of the pool table but I mean pretty updated arcade system and good bowling

Victoria Cooncetefr6xcx4

Great customer service. Haf my nephews party there tonight

Nancy Dinwiddie

Pizza has crispy crust with plenty of toppings. Sauce is very good without it being esthetic. Cheese burgers are real good. Went there for a 5 year olds birthday party and kids had a ball. Staff was great with the kids.

April Pattie

Excellent!! Beer's and bowling! Fun, great staff. We will be back

Benjamin M

Definatley a great time has an awesome arcade!!!

Pineapple Savage

The pizza is good and so is the service. The only bad thing was it was not up to date with everything. My group had to ask the people to fix our lane every 5 minutes. The song choice not so good. The arcade was fun but they had some games twice or Mabey even three times, they were just different names. Although there was quite a bit of negative's it was a good place!

Jessica Malone

Friendly staffing service. The barn Pizza are great. It is a bit expensive for pulling itself. The arcade is fun for the kids. Overall it's one of the best things to do in Oak Harbor with a family, if you have the money

Terrance Canty

Great arcade and great atmosphere

Shannon Swank

Fun and family friendly!

Squishie FPV Collins

Went to a birthday party here. Was great. It's almost always a fun experience here whether in the arcade, bowling, eating or whatever.

Christie Hawkins

We love the Oak Bowl but it has gotten too pricey for us to play. Brought the grandkids and played 3 rounds and it costed us $82 for our night. It's way cheaper to just go to Mt. Vernon. The service was great though and I wish I could say the pizza was good but it was not. Sorry Oak Bowl I know we are friends but I believe in honesty.

TK

Extremely inviting environment and engaging management. The alley has really grown and it's got a great inviting feel. I look forward to coming back here when I visit the Harbor again.

Myles Dyble

Didn't try the food, but the bowling alley and arcade was lots of fun! Prices are very reasonable.

N

First time at Oak Bowl, sure we enjoyed it. The staff were very helpful to my daughter in her first day. Thank you Dale.

Merika Hinojosa

We had my daughters 11th birthday party at Oak Bowl an Mario's Pizza and the service and food were awesome. Karie and Megan did an awesome job of hosting our party. Our food and drinks were ordered as needed and our birthday cake was cut for us as well!! I highly recommend Oak Bowl and Mario's Pizza to anyone, especially to anyone planning a birthday party!

Cheyenne Jackson

arcade room offers lots of games

Nathan Simpson

Always a blast here. Best pizza in town!

George Place

Good time

Morgan Hamilton

Have gone here for years, and love it. They have lots of things for kids, and several for adults besides bowling. They've put in an arcade and the kiddos just love it

Rebekah Newman

Love the food. Probably my favorite pizza in town.

Jennifer Petanovich

Great for families

Christopher Curtiss

Good pizzas. Not great. Crust was fluffy and garlicky. Toppings were fresh. Sauce needs more zing in my opinion.

Alex T-J

Decently clean, decent staff. Food is nothing too write home about, but it's not bad, better then what you'd expect from a bowling alley.

Gerald Eby

Good pizza and friendly people. Great place to have a party for the kids.

Byron MacDonald

Fun place, nice people

Aron VanDeWater

Came here to watch exchange students bowl (I was a host family). They had a lot of fun here!

Isaac Bozeman

Oak Bowl recently got new management, and it's awesome! Super nice people who are willing to work with you!

Kitty Castillo

Oak Bowl is a great place to bowl and the food is excellent.

Roselle Barraquio

Food is great and friendly staff. We'll definitely come back.

Chris Garden

Fun, clean atmosphere with a bar at the back for adults.

Emi T

It's a fun place to bowl, and the arcade is fun when it isn't too busy. The place is... clean-ish, and the prices on food are way to high for what you get. It's best to go on Sunday when games are $2 per person.

Vincent Davidson

Good friendly workers

KIARA CUPIT

It was amazing. We went there about 6pm and it was doing those laser lights and stuff

Katherine Martin

Family friendly good food very helpful staff

Brandon Edwards

Itthiphon Naksunthorn

roscoe davenport

Great place great pizza great staff!

Donnavin Brown

Enjoyed having a party here!

Rashonda Jordan

I held a birthday party here for my daughter. When we got there everything was set up and decorated. Several managers came to check on us throughout the party and we had no time limit. The hostess we had was extremely helpful and everyone had a good time.

Laura Williams

Grandson's 13th. Never been there B4. Pleasantly surprised. VERY helpful and attentive staff, good pizza, besides bowling there's a decent activity area and really set up nicely for group parties. Had a fun time and highly recommend checking it out if you're on the hunt for a kid party kind of place.

Kyler Henning

I drank, I bowled, I kicked some ass on super smash brothers. This place did an excellent job of providing a venue for my activities, and the quality of the alcohol and lanes was awesome. The prices (not for the alcohol) were quite reasonable as well.

Amanda Edwards

Bowling is good lanes are nice. Love the new bar. The pizza is nasty and dry sorry not sorry

David Rickard

Clean, not too crowded and $10 for an hour of unlimited arcade play is a really great value.

deadhead gaming

Fun

Christine Hall

We had our Spring Classic Grand tournament there. We had a great time. Thanks Oak Bowl for hosting this year.

Kevin Mullins

Good bowling place.

Jasmine Flores

Basic bowling place

Mary Morris

Wow, Oak Bowl, you need to have nicer employees working your counter and working with children today. Pushy, rude women with kids, REALLY !!!!!! Thank goodness for the guy that is here working the counter because he knows how to deal with customers and the children, thank you to him. Where are the nice, patient ladies that are usually here ????? Done spending money here while they are here.

Amber Roe

Fun basic game collection for all skill levels. Family atmosphere, laid back and fun. Can't wait to go back.

Rachal Ryan

Good time little cost

Richard Chartier

This review is for Mario's pizza inside, as I was visiting a friend and wanted to pick up a pie to bring with us as a surprise. After seeing the other awesome reviews, I called in an order as we were driving from out of town. The manager was friendly and helped me with the order. He was cordial but professional. When we arrived, we saw that the bowl meant it was a bowling alley! I was dubious at first, but as I entered I could tell this was a throwback bowling alley. Old style everything and an awesome looking arcade. Being on Whidbey Island as the only bowling alley, they really do a great job serving military patrons as I saw ads for discounts everywhere for members of the armed forces. That aside, the pizza we ordered was baked fresh with a conveyor style pizza oven. It was a bit costly, but when we brought it in to our friend's house and opened up the box, a smell of italian spices mixed with seasoned breading made our senses perk. It was one of the best pizzas I ever tasted. Likely, just like the manager said, this is probably the best pizza on the island. Located just 3 minutes from base housing too. Awesome pizza, awesome bowling alley atmosphere. If you have $20 or $30 burning a hole in your pocket, come here and have a blast and a great pizza!!!!!!

Sheila Lentz

Awesome customer service!!!!

Randall Weers

It's as if they knew I was coming.. the music and videos were exactly what I would have requested. Nice environment. Great options for food and drinks. Planning to go again soon.

Angela Bell

The garlic knots and pizza were delicious! The staff was friendly and our kids enjoyed the arcade. It was fairly quiet for a bowling alley and arcade!

Cameron Dean

It was ok

James Jameson

Not a great experience. We came for the drink specials and to play a few arcade games. The staff was more interested in socializing amongst themselves and playing on their phones than helping customers, and the arcade room consists of a couple of fun games only. Also, outside of happy hour there are no drink specials on the weekends?!

Mercedes Fulwiler

Best pizza in town.......arcade is great fun for kids of all ages.......and the bowling ain't bad either!
