AMF Pinole Valley Lanes

Just getting back into bowling. I have no complaints at all thye have the best specials 7days a week with there "all you can bowl". There staff is friendly. You can't beat it. .

"Meh, I've experienced better" is right.  Down the highway a bit, at the bowling alley in Albany.  I've tried AMF Pinole twice, and if I have any say in it, there won't be a third time.

The management (or corporation) has structured the pricing to be ridiculous.  You can pay a whole lot for unlimited bowling (might be handy if you need to dump kids/relatives/visiting friends somewhere for oh, say 9-10 hours) or you can just pay a lot for one game/lane/shoes.

And the staff attitudes need improvement.  Seriously.  Don't cut your eyes at me little lady like I don't have a right to be alive, and I haven't even said a peep to you.  And the young guy behind the counter, you aren't fabulous so stop trying.

Two stars because one and a half isn't an option.

came here mostly on a tuesday/thrusday or weekends.
For the weekdays: the services are slightly better ...still I experience better
For the weekends: bad services and extremely longggggg waiting time

The last time I crashed with my friends. We waited for about 2 rounds of billards. Since our group are quite crowded we stole two tables. Me and my other friends were hoppers from video to dancing then went to buy chips from the vending machine.
The food are alright ! I am always hungry and craving junkie at night so it somewhat satisfy me and my friends needs :))

They have a variety of weights yet not many that fits my strength. I had to yield to others :*( which sucks since it seems like forever for the ball to get back to me.

Overall
decent food
decent drinks
same old same old video games
has 2 pool tables

it is $10 after 9pm so it is quite reasonable pricing :)
shoe rental included I think
Idr since I barely rent their shoes
