Pioneer Bowl turned 80 this year... & is proud to be part of American history.
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.

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.
