Round1 Bowling & Arcade – San Jose in San Jose, California

“Noisy, jarring and not particularly clean. Prices of machines are not great-think 4 (!?) dollars per claw machine play. Has an okay selection of rhythm games which seem decently maintained. Sold out of game cards in vending machines when I went, had to buy at front desk. Not much positive I can say about this round 1 in particular. I guess the water fountains are pretty nice? Security frisks you at both entrances, wh”

“We had a party of 12. We went bowling, played arcade games and rented a karaoke room. The bowling was fun, but trying to find the right sized ball was tough. Your choices were a very heavy ball or a lightweight ball with tiny finger holes. They just didn't have enough of the medium weight balls around 8 lbs. The arcade games are comparative in pricing to a lot of other places like Big Al's or Dave& Buster's. There ar”

“Not the greatest bowling alley, but we made the best of it. They have very limited balls with larger holes, so unless you have small fingers, you better bring your own bowling ball. Friendly staff, though.”

“As far as large chain arcades go, Round1 is my preferred chain due to their wide assortment of claw and gatcha type games. This place is about 40/60 split into claw machine type games and traditional arcade games. Pricing per play though on a lot of them are a tad high.”

“Fun place for the whole family to enjoy! New games have been added all around the center. Bowling and arcade is a perfect combination for a fun date. Bathrooms are clean and the whole center is clean. Tends to get hot near all the prize machines. Fresh near the entrance.”

“Overall experience was good. We celebrated my sonu2019s birthday here and all of us had a blast! We got a workout bowling! ud83cudfb3 I selected a party package for the group which included shoes, drinks and 2 slices of pizza ud83cudf55 per person and 2 hours of bowling. Plus they added party hats and 2 balloons. ud83dude42 They had optional food like wings and more pizza, but a reminder to all you need to pay for that separately if you wish to or”

“Honestly, this was my first time hard core doing claw machines. It was quite fun, but IMO, definitely pretty pricey. They do have some promos for credits, so definitely look into getting more, since it won't expire if you plan to come back. Staff was generally friendly. To management...it is a bit weird to sell custom cards...but if you're a member, it doesn't roll over...so less people will likely buy the cards...st”

“Great place to have some fun, eat some food, and spend quality time with family and friends. Brings people together. You earn tickets when you play those games on the 2nd floor. Some machines donu2019t work, but staff can refund you if you come across a machine that took your points and didnu2019t work. Restroom available. Thereu2019s also karaoke on the 2nd floor. Thereu2019s a seating area. Thereu2019s also bowling here too. Lots of t”
