Join Us
December 31st 2026
Bowl in the NewYear with us on our favorite night. Your ticket for dinner, movie screening, costume contest, midnight toast with sparklers, and bowling all night long. More Details below.
Big Lebowski Extravaganza
Join us for our 5th annual event. Bowling is on until 2 am. The entire staff will be in costume, and you may dress as your favorite character for the costume contest, or not? Remember there is a cowboy narrator... Your ticket includes dinner, (one individual Neopolitan style pizza with salad), raffle, midnight toast with party favors, sparklers and unlimited bowling until 2 am. Tickets may be available at the door unless we sell out, but will cost more. Of course we plan to serve the Caucasian all night long with our other offerings, and plenty of NA options as well. Try the Siberian desert invented by our favorite customer , which I am sure the Dude approves. Re-entry is permitted so you may pub crawl from Red Dog to Pappys, but this evening is a ticketed event for us, no general admission to the public. Please note any dietary restrictions or allergies in notes, and how many in your group to bowl, and if you want to be in the costume contest. We have had Bunny, Maude. Dude and many more characters attend over the past 5 years. ( vegetarian/vegan option available but please let us know)
We have reached 100% of our goal for purchase!

Pioneer Bowl is a livin', workin' museum. Every fixture and Brunswick masking unit remains as it was installed 66 years ago. While alleys across the US are changing to strings which do not require a mechanic- we are paying to maintain our original pinsetters. The cost to bowl? : 25/person. Retro unique experience with friends & fami
Pioneer Bowl is a livin', workin' museum. Every fixture and Brunswick masking unit remains as it was installed 66 years ago. While alleys across the US are changing to strings which do not require a mechanic- we are paying to maintain our original pinsetters. The cost to bowl? : 25/person. Retro unique experience with friends & family? : priceless! One of the few wood houses left, and probably the only alley in CA with hand scoring. Our murals were painted in 1946.
Proud of our mid century original decor

Our Guests
We are a great social gathering place for families, stag, or hen parties, birthdays and reunions. Unfortunately we can not accommodate youngsters under 15 for bowling. We recommend Yucca Bowl, another old school alley, just down the road from us for kids and birthday parties. They have the right equipment for children.
