| - I really enjoy Mountain View Bowl and have been coming here for years. Recently, my sisters and the rest of the family decided to spend an evening here for some bowling and fun for a birthday. I like that they offer 10 pin (5 pin is for wussies! Haha) and there is a little restaurant for food and drinks. I did find the prices to be pretty high, but maybe that's because there were 8 of us, I'm not sure.
I had emailed Mountain View ahead of time to book 2 lanes for the birthday, and it was handled in a pleasant and timely manner. Despite what Joel says about the bowling names, the staff really don't care what you use. They had us write down the names of our team members on a sheet of paper, but we used silly ones and they didn't mind. Sure, they didn't look amused, but I sure thought it was funny!
We had a lot of fun bowling a few rounds and decided it was time for some food. We did settle on the platter, but it was pretty small and hardly enough to feed all 8 of us. So we opted to order a pizza as well, which was really good and made pretty quickly. The drinks were really decent and the staff behind the counter/bar are really friendly. It's expensive, but it's bowling food, so it's to be expected. After we played a few rounds, we brought out a cake and the staff was very accommodating with the candles and disposable plates & cutlery. We were able to enjoy a really fun day spent with the family and Mountain View was awesome in helping us do so.
I'll definitely keep coming back here because it's always a great time. They advertise a "Date Night" during the week where it costs around $60 for both people to bowl, drink, and eat. I thought that was a really cute idea.
