Amazing Experience!!!!

by TanyaB91205 at Citysearch

My boyfriend and I went here on a Friday with a few friends and we had a wonderful time! There is a live DJ who played a few songs we requested and we had food brought to our lanes. The drinks are not only delicious, but they are priced good too! This place is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for an evening of fun with friends. Also, we bought the first hour of bowling at the regular rate ($34) and we received the second hour for only $17! What a deal! Thanks for making our experience a great one, Jewel City Bowl!

Expensive

by Bear75 at Citysearch

One word - expensive. Won't go back. Don't recommend anyone else go here, unless they are prepared to spend a lot of cash.

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Expensive rates

Bowl here if you are a millionaire

by Carl1254 at Citysearch

Apparently the local millionaires drop their teenagers off here to bowl with a pile of cash. I can not afford to bowl here, but the place was crawling with Glendale teenagers. Yuck! Go bowling at the place on Eagle Rock if you want a nice crowd and good prices..

  • Cons: Too expensive

Pricey

by Loland at Citysearch

Took a date here once and felt ripped off. They milk you on everything, including drinks and food. Go to Pickwick! Or one of the many other bowling alleys nearby.

  • Cons: Pricey

Too expensive!

by JulietViolet at Citysearch

A group of friends and I went there and the dirty old place was so expensive! And it was overrun with local pre-teens. Not a fun time.

We ended up going to Pickwick just a few miles a way which was cheaper and much more fun. Also, try Sports Center Bowl in Studio City on Ventura Blvd or All Star Lanes on Eagle Rock. They're both much cheaper and the crowds are hipper, in mid-twenties range.

Over all, Jewel City should not be considered a jewel. It's more like a pricey piece of coal.

  • Cons: Expensive, bad crowd
