9 reviews for Brunswick Covina Bowl
I'm not a fan of bowling...but
Sundays after 9pm: $1 for a game and $1 for shoes!!
I came here with my coworkers after work recently around 4:00pm on a Thursday. Lanes were pretty much all open. The 9 of us were able to bowl in two lanes for two games in two hours. About $9 head was decent. Service was a bit slow. Nobody was manning the counter when I went to get some shoes. The bar service was pretty slow too. Shamefully, they sag their heads and confess that they don't serve pitchers here. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
The bright side is that the lanes were pretty nice and even. It was nice to see them slicking up the lanes, even though they pretty much barged into our game to do it. Haha. I actually bowled a 179 with just one of the house plastic balls. The equipment was pretty out-dated, but it was reliable. This place has the standard bumper rails if you wish and something else that I've never seen before... It's this metal ramp contraption which allows you to bowl by setting the ball on the ramp, aiming, and just rolling it down the ramp. My guess is it's for handicap purposes...or for kids? --Shrugs--
why do bowling alleys always seem to have the best french fries ever? it's like they sprinkle a little bit of crack up in that mug so you just have to keep coming back for more!
my high game was at 138 today. i need more practice. i should bowl more often. i found a flyer for a special on wednesday afternoons from 3 - 5. $5.49 per person for 2 hours of bowling and free rental! i have my own shoes anyway. :) guess where i'll be wednesday afternoons?

my little one has been subconsciously begging me to go bowling. he's been setting up his own… Read more »
Ended up here late one night with a bunch of friends and had a wondertul time. The area itself doesn't look too inviting and could be quite intimidating, but all of that aside, it's not a really bad place to go bowling.
The night I came here, they were playing hip hop and it was really cool to see that the monitors/tvs were actually playing the videos to each song. Most places just pump the music, but this place had that "MTV" type vibe because of the monitors/tvs.
The equipment and lanes were some what dated, but it wasn't too bad either. This is one of those places that you wouldn't mind taking a bunch of friends and just bowl the night away. If you're trying to impress a date with a bowling alley, this isn't the place to do it.
OK. Let's start out by saying I DO NOT BOWL.
We ended up here late one night since we could not figure out what else to do in the area.
Funny counter guy. Kind of a flirt.
They play hip hop music AND show hip hop videos! WTF!???????? WOW! I liked that the most out of anything else about this place.
The outside looks kind of creepy, especially with the barred entrance. LOL.
Typical bowling alley to me (not that I've been to many). I love that they play hip hop music and videos.
:)
I don't think I've ever seen this place in the day time. The outside at night looks kinda scary, especially if you see a group of people hanging around outside. My last few visits have been to play pool/billiards. It's $10/hour and you have to keep track of your own time. So what if I tell them I was only there 1 hour, even though I was actually there 2 hours? You would think they could come up with a time tracking system for the pool tables like they have for the bowling lanes.
Cosmic bowling is cool. wear shirts that glow under black lights.
Played pool there a couple of times, average everything, the pool table area is fluorescent lighting and shabby warehouse style. Tables were filthy and most needed new felt, this is an area of this place that gets ignored. Lots of senior citizens, the people who work there are pleasant and efficient but nothing more, what do you expect it is an old bowling alley in Covina? The food service is extra lousy, more than once it took much too long to get a simple order, the only reason we went there is it is open all day when the other pool halls are closed.
Not too shabby..I like it so far that I've been here! Fukk..on Sunday is the BEST!! $1 for a game plus $1 for shoes!! Cant get better than that plus cute counter boys!! Oh and very high tech..music played with music video! Its great that they played hip hop videos but they also play rock music! Super awesome-ness! Totally my new Sunday night hangouts!! It gets pretty pack so i suggest getting there early like before 9pm..I think it closes at 2am! Note outside is pretty creepy but inside is huge!
See some of you Yelpers on Sunday maybe!! Im the one that jumps up & down when i throw a strike! haha
Not the nicest alley and not the worst I've seen either. Because it's more than just bowling. I want good selection of fast food, and good drink, clean atmosphere, and updated equipment.
First off, I didn't see the bar anywhere. That bar needs to be welcoming me with open arms. Fine, I ordered a cocktail from a little old lady in the Snack bar. Very amusing, they have her ina little corner with a small selection of spirts and mixers. The snack bar choices were limited also. No onion rings? No salad? How about zucchini sticks? Okay, I'll have the veggie wrap, fries, and personal pizza. DON"T buy the veggie wrap. All it had was ice berg lettuce, a few tomatoes and cut up pieces of American cheese (aka bad fake cheese) in a flour tortilla. Fries were decent.
The music was good with a mix of current alternative, 80's pop and rock, etc. Tv monitors at each lane section let you watch the videos to the musck. It took us forever to punch in our names since the computer screen was not working properly. Our lane messed up a few times. Unfortunately always on my turn. I like to think that is why I lost every game.
Unless you like a big movie screen that lowers itself right above your lane almost to the point of blocking your pins, then DON"T GET LANE 45!!!
$3.99 game
$3.97 shoe rental
Cosmic bowling started at 9pm
