Viejas Bowl

Went to Viejas Bowl for the first time this morning and it is definitely my favorite bowling alley in San Diego. The seating area and food was great. Also, shout out to COSMO, one of the employees. He was awesome! He was literally running around doing everything. From giving us our shoes, getting our stuck bowling balls, helping us at the bar, and cleaning cleaning up the whole place. I was very impressed! He was super cool. I’ll definitely be coming back because of him!

Great place for a birthday party. Not as big and loud as the other alleys in town, and the seats are WAY more comfortable.

Stayed at the hotel with family saw a deal that included lunch, drink, shoes and a game. Cosmo Was very professional and showed pride in where he worked. I was impressed with the lunch selection
I ordered the turkey wrap and truly enjoyed the flavor and was suprise with the
was very clean and for less then $ 30.00 a family of 5 ate and enjoyed a fun game of bowling.

Looks good until they hit with an inflated price… Then…here’s the kicker… no bathrooms in the place… Low Budget

So Frustrating! I’ve gone there Two different times to bowl, both times they say there was a 30 minute wait. We’d wait for almost 2HRS! & still not get to bowl! Don’t waste your time

Had a great time with my family this morning! Our attendant was extremely helpful giving us a hand with our son. He got fussy after our first game and we needed to leave. Our attendant gave us a refund so Our son could go play in the game section. We will be coming back soon!

Best place in town to bowl. They keep the lanes oiled well. Better then most other Alleys I have bowled. Plus there
Friendly and helpful staff is always so inviting.

People with epilepsy beware. After settling in for our game and a pizza at 4:30 in the afternoon, strobe lights suddenly began. My Son has epilepsy and I was alarmed and asked them to turn them off. His worst seizures have been from flashing lights. They turned them off, however we were told that there was a Birthday party and they paid $ 40 for strobe lights and they must be turned back on. I was told that Birthday parties trump epilepsy. «After all, there are signs around the bowling alley warning about flashing lights.» I know they have strobe lights at night on the weekends so we avoid those times, but never realized they happen any time during the day if there’s a party They agreed to leave them off for a short time while we quickly finished our one game and scarfed down our pizza. It was MY son’s Birthday today too. Birhday party patrons will not die if they don’t have strobe lights. People with epilepsy can die from a bad seizure from strobe lights. The policy is backwards. Party patrons should be warned that strobe lights will not be possible if a person burdened with epilepsy is there. Instead people with epilepsy are told to leave if they can’t handle the lights. Seems like discrimination to me. Shame on Viejas Bowl.

Best bowling experience in San Diego County. Boutique bowling at it’s finest. Great beer selection. The food is pretty decent, too. This place has a really chic and quaint feel to it and the galaxy lighting on the weekends is awesome and fun. Music videos play on projected screens at the end of the lane during galaxy bowling, too. Staff is always friendly & helpful. The house balls are good quality. I do wish they would oil the lanes more often, but all in all, It’s a great place. Like I said, best in town. 2^nd best in SD is that bowling alley at the mall in Escondido, they both have a similar feel, to compare.

I was wanting to come over and I believe her name was brittany, not sure, answered the phone and told me there was no open bowling, and mid sentence she hung up on me? Definitely won’t be receiving my business.

Not your typical dingy bowling alley for sure! Everyone behind the counter is super friendly and helpful and it is pretty clean. Saw the crew wiping down couches and tables between each group even. Only reason not giving it a 5 was the food, I mean I wasn’t expecting fine dining but when you order a cheese quessadilla you expect a warm tortilla and the cheese fully melted. Stick to eating before or after your game and you will have a good time

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
How did I end up here? but not so bad… it is actually pretty rad…
Original plan was the ice– skating rink so I could bust out my Tara Lipinkski or Michelle Kwan, Yamaguchi or Nancy Kerrigan up in Here… you know… bust a crack in that Ice.
But… the damn wait was a mother truckin… hour and a half. .yes folks… an hour and a half to ice skate with half of San Diego and Mexico… soooo plan B… hit up the olé… King Pin himself, Mr. Glow in the dark, disco balls strobe light. bowling alley…
Hey… it wasn’t that crowded… and I just happened to have my polyester jacket and pants on. and my Rose Bowling Ball in the trunk… so throw in a few pitchers of the beer on tap at the bar… some you know… some good olé bowling alley food and you are in for a good time…
so PUSH IT… PUSH IT REAL GOOD… come on, when Salt-​n-​Peppa be playin while you be bowling. it is good to STRIKE OUT !

First time here, read the reviews and thought «there’s no way this place is that great». Well i was wrong. The staff behind the“bar” are a little slow, but very friendly. They bring your food right to your lane! The lanes were nice and the seating area was fantastic. I love the little couches that they have! So much better than the hard plastic chairs that seem standard at bowling alleys all over San Diego. They keep it clean and i like that. The only thing i can even think they might need to improve on is their beverage selection. I’m not a beer drinker so i love it when i find a place that has Angry Orchard. I think for those of us that don’t like beer, Angry Orchard would be a great addition! I will definitely be back Angry Orchard or no…

We have gone here on several occasions. Even had my daughters birthday party here one year. I love this place. Its very clean, and doesn’t smell like many other bowling alleys. The staff are great and very attentive.

Visited Viejas Bowl today for the first time with my two kids, had a BLAST! Absolutely love this place. Staff was very helpful, food was good, music was great, and the prices were cheap :) Smiles across all of our faces as we walked out the door. Such a fun place!

Great time with friends.

I’m not much of a gambler so I enjoy doing other activities at a casino. I was invited as part of an office party. Night bowling is great here. Good atmosphere and good selection of adult beverages. Friendly staff nice décor.

I don’t think many people realize just how awesome Viejas is. In addition to a great place to gamble or take a «staycation», they have a fantastic bowling alley! It isn’t a full size as far as lanes go, probably only about 20 lanes, but they are high class.
As a leisurely bowler, I can say the lanes are new, well maintained, and just awesome in my opinion. They also have nice couches that seat quite a few people, as opposed to plastic seats you find at other alleys. The screens are all new, plenty of action with music videos being played. It’s a real party/​fun atmosphere. This place is perfect for bowling parties, birthdays, etc. It was also great for my girlfriend and I on a Friday night. At 8pm, they turn the lights off and run colored blue/​purple lightning for that «night bowling» feel. Its super cool. Normally, alleys that have the nice seating and cool lighting charge a ton to bowl, but no Viejas. You get that experience for only $ 4/​game per person. $ 3/​game before 8pm. That’s a great deal! In addition, they have pool tables and kick ass food for cheap. The burgers and quesadillas are all delicious, and reasonably priced from $ 4-​$ 7. Also they have cheap/​good beer. Everything about Viejas bowl is top-​notch, and you’d expect to pay so much more for the experience.
Overall, if you can make the drive out (and it’s not far; about 15 minutes east of El Cajon and less than a mile from the freeway), you won’t be disappointed. Head out for a day of shopping at the outlet stores, and you’ll find the alley tucked in the northern most part of the mall. It’s an absolute gem out in Alpine. I’m super excited I found this place, and I can’t wait to return.

Nicest bowling alley I have been to! Great ounce seating very comfortable definitely worth the drive from El Cajon

Cheap, clean, and little waiting time bowling alley. My friends and I make the drive, pretty chill atmosphere.
