Fun times!
$1 games Monday nights starting at 9pm.
There is a bar and a gaming area.
Food is pretty good too. Get the Nachos, it is large and tasty.
Expect a wait and have at least 1 person show up early to get your lane(s). -

I am not bowling anywhere else again! We went on a double date with some friends and we all had a blast.
There was a wait for a lane to bowl so we started off at the bar & grill while we waited. This is not no winky dink bootleg bar they have at other bowling joints. It was a legit sports bar. If you like fruity wheat beers, try the Sunny Moon. It tastes like a Blue Moon with extra, extra orange slices. It was awesome! We sipped on this all night! We had chicken nachos to share and they were surprisingly very good.
On to the bowling... love how there was waiter service at the lanes so we were able to continue drinking more Sunny Moons. We made it at the start of Cosmic Bowling so the bowling in glow in the dark and loud club music made it that much more fun for us!
We had a blast singing, dancing, bowling and drinking away. It is pricier than other bowling alleys but I think it is well worth the extra cost. It's been about a week and I am still thinking about the Sunny Moon! I'm not really a beer drinker but that beer, vodka and juice mix was perfect! -

Went here last night with some friends and had a great time! Pricing wasn't bad for what you get. Definitely better than other AZ bowling alleys.

This is not going to be one of my best reviews. Bowling is lame. BUT, if I am being forced to bowl, this is where it will be. The place is happening, has some good servers and bring me beer, a little bar to stop in when the game is over, and it is a nice place.
I'd say, more of a people who don't bowl bowling kind of place, as compared to a smokier dingier league bowling place. -

Most of us would never think of going to a bowling alley to dance, but this is definitely a new kind of bowling alley. The lounge is spacious and it has a stage area for the live bands and a decent wooden floor for dancing. I expected the wood floor to be well maintained and I wasn't disappointed.
So here are a few other good things about the place:
* No cover charge!
* 25 oz mugs of beer for only $6.80. They even have Bass Ale and Guinness. They pour the Guinness slowly so you don't get too bubbles instead of beer.
* Excellent live music on Friday nights. A new R&B band called "Glyde" was so good they had everyone on the floor dancing. Towards the end of the evening almost nobody was sitting down. Glyde was funky to the max and had a total fox singing vocals.
* Decent food.
* Pool tables
* Friendly staff
* Lots of fine looking ladies to dance with!
Of course there is ample bowling with black lights and hip hop music, and even arcade games to enjoy when the band is taking breaks.
One silly thing -- they ask adults for ID to verify age. Even if you are 80 years old be sure to have a picture ID if you want to buy drinks.
The lounge could use a raised stage for the band so that people in back can see the band play.
When the secret gets out about the Brunswick Zone lounge it's going to get real crowded. Watch out, Warren's Bistro! -

You can always find coupons to this place. I already bought groupons here twice this year. The atmosphere is super fun. The place is kept well. They have a fun arcade as well. In a town where everything closes at 9pm, this place is as good as it gets.

WOW! This is the nicest bowling alley that I have ever seen!!! I was attending a birthday party in the plush couch area. It was a blast! 80s music vidoes showing, food is flowing, and people are bowling. FUN! Clean, great service, and decent food for a bowling alley.
After bowling we headed to the game room. The interactive games are fun...Listed in: Good for Groups

Have you gone to Cosmic Bowling??? Flashing lights, great music, and competitive sport! You really need to arrive at about 8:30. You will be given a "beeper" for getting a lane at 10PM. If you get there much later you will be out of luck for Cosmic bowling. It fills up fast. While you wait, you can play pool, games, have a drink, and eat. I think this is best with a group of friends. is it possible to say you are getting exercise while you are drinking?? A good idea is to take a cab or have a designated driver. I did notice a police car sitting in the parking lot when the bowling ended. DUI can change your life... and not in a good way.
I would say the only downfall is how much you can spend. Two of us spent over $60 without eating and a pitcher of beer. It really is fun.Listed in: Active fun

I love this place. 44 lanes! Wow. I'm a novice when it comes to bowling, but I might start going more often.
They have $.99 game specials early on Saturday and Sunday. But you have to get there early in the Winter/Spring because the lanes fill up. Over the Summer, there were only about 10 other bowlers there.
The waitstaff is superb. Always checking to make sure your food is good, or your drinks are filled. When you are about to finish your last game, they ask if you'll be playing anymore, rather than you waiting for them to ask.
They have a giant bar which I've only been in a couple of times. Very clean and very nice staff in there as well. Too bad it's normally really slow in there. It's a nice looking bar. They have Direct TV for NFL games, so I may start hitting that up next season (if there's no strike....no pun intended...well, maybe pun intended).
The game room is fun too. Ha ha. Even as a middle aged adult, I was playing a lot of them. The sledgehammer, the gun game, a few games of skeeball....ahhh...took me back to my glory days at the Carnival.
Good times, and I highly recommend going. Cosmic bowling was a trip. -

This is our 2nd visit to XL with 5 kiddies ranging from 2 1/2 to 14 yrs old. I like coming here b/c the toddlers don't bowl for long & like to run around the huge arcade center after a few throws. Brunswick Zone XL differs than a regular Brunswick Zone with cosmic bowling (glow in the dark / dance club atmosphere) , giant arcade, and bar & grill. The waitress was super nice & attentive. Yes, this place is expensive but you can find deals on their website, daily specials & other coupons online.
The good -
kids bumper come up & down automatically for the player you want
The bad - $$$ -

Go bowling here with caution. Before I talk about the caution, I will say this: Previous times I've bowled here it's been awesome. But....tonight when i gave my two hour 29.99 coupon at 12:00am (i know...it was late) my lane was shut off early (1:55am). I totally understood but when I asked the question to the manager, "We didn't get the FULL value of our coupon?" he said (and i quote) "Better luck next time". Hmmmmm. Never going back.

I have been meaning to write a review for this bowling Alley. My husband, myself, and his friend went and it was 30.00 bucks for 2 hours for the three of us, I was not sure if that was a good price? Anyways I plan on signing up to get coupons for future visits.
The Pros: The place is nice, and clean inside and FUN.. They have a lounge area with pool table for the Adults.
The Cons: They have cosmic bowling fills up so quickly that I am not too sure if I will get a chance to try it ( the waitress said you should come 1 hour prior.. UGH.).
Overall a good experience. -

Gilbert's Brunswick Zone XL bowling center is unlike any bowling alley in Arizona and is too cool for G-Town. The new 58,000-square-foot venue features 44 bowling lanes -- one side, with chairs and tables, for league bowlers and the other, with plush couches, for open bowlers -- along with an interactive game room and a lounge and restaurant. The wait staff will even bring cocktails to your lane!
There's also a Gameworks-style arcade with 88 interactive video games such as Deal or No Deal, air hockey, Skee-Ball and Doc's Interactive Shootout. And the cafe offers a variety of food from three kids of soup to pastas to even a Philly cheesesteak. -

I am now a HUGE fan of this facility. This place is GIANT. It's like the Disneyland of bowling. Probably because it's in the middle-of-nowhere suburbs of Phoenix! Expansive lanes and a GREAT arcade area filled with awesome ticketed games. They had a great deal for $10 a person with an hour of bowling, shoes, and $5 of video game play. It was so much fun!
The one thing that's weird is the service. You pay your server at the lane, but our server was often nowhere to be found. If they had better service, I'd give them a 5 star! -

My friends and I had a coupon - 2 hours of bowling, shoe rental, pizza and drinks for less than $10 each (split 6 ways). We really had a good time. It was clean, doesn't appear to have ever been smoked in, and the equipment was in good shape. Only complaint is that it gets really crowded, and this was on a Monday night.

This place is horrible. Wait times are bad and the staff is pretty lazy. I gave it 2 stars because there was one older gentleman that was very polite and helpful, other than that, it was a pretty bad experience for my trip to AZ. I guess service can be lowered if you're one of the few points of interest in the area.

Great place for family to bowl and hang out. Games for the kids and bowling for everyone...cool place, but at the end of the day...choose your battles for savings and adult time because it is just a glorified bowling alley ;-)

OK 4 Starers, you missed. This is a great Bowling Alley. Hey Mesa! Forget about the 3 or 4 Mesa Lanes. Take the trip down Gilbert Road or 202 and go to this place. It is the best. Just walking in the door will have you ask, why you ever went to any of the alleys in Mesa. This is a 5 Star Alley and in a really nice area of Gilbert.
There is also a 5 Star arcade here to keep the kiddies busy. Oh yea, 5 Star pool hall and lounge to keep the adults happy. -

This is the nicest bowling alley I've ever seen. It's a whole other experience. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the price to bowl is insane. For a family of 4 it's $75-100. Wow!

As others have said it is a nice bowling alley. We came around 5 on a Friday evening and the wait was an hour so that was a bummer. We decided to wait and played in the arcade and it had nice equipment but was outrageously expensive. If you don't mind spending a little money it isn't a bad place, but maybe next time we'll try stopping by at a less busy time.
