Napa Bowling Center — Local services in Napa

Just moved back to Napa after over 30 years. WHAT HAPPENED!? Wine,vine, what a crime! I was born here, Napa wasn't known for wine, that was up the valley. Napa was known for the state hospital, Kaiser steel, Basalt even Mare island. Ripped the whole town up and replaced it with a bunch of cheap phony buildings(half of which are empty). Overpriced restaurants and silly shops...jeez. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a wine tasting shop... tourists gawking up and down the streets... half of which look like...they're wondering what the attraction is? Anyway I was glad to see the Napa Bowl was still here...never bowled much but we used to hang out at the pool room on weekends. It's a bowling alley, it's cheesey and its great. Thank God something is left where you can go and not have to hold a snob rag to your nose to go in. I understand things change but c'mon, enough...

A friend and I went to have a burger at Napa bowl. They've always had really good burgers so we thought we'd give it a try since they recently opened up with the new owner.

It was not a good lunch and I did not get treated well by the girl that works there. I went back to talk to the owner. He was cordial polite and very understanding. After talking to him he seemed embarrassed about what happened. I'm sure that he will take action upon what happened. And I will give it one more try. Just because you have one bad experience does not mean they're all going to be bad experiences. The friend that was with me said she probably will not be back at all. I wish the new owner good luck and good luck with hiring the...

I really enjoyed the bowling alley, the young man at the counter was very welcoming. The woman in the diner provided exceptional service and my daughter loved that they served garlic fries. The only drawback for me are the bowling pins. I was not a fan of the way they have their pins on strings, seems to highly interfere with the natural motion of the pins. I am by no means an exceptional bowler, but this was the first time I have never picked up a spare and did not break 100. My husband is a far better bowler having played in leagues and he was far more thrown off by this. I'll say it was funny to see him bowl and get my average score. We still had a blast since we don't take our scores seriously. If you do take score seriously this may not be the bowling...
