Mesa East Bowl is what a bowling alley should be. You shouldn't expect excellent service or great food. Bowling is a vintage sport that should take place in a vintage style bowling alley. This is exactly what East Mesa Bowl serves. Prices for bowling are something like $2.50 before 5PM and 3.50 after 5 pm. If you are renting shoes, it will set you back an additional 3.25. The wait was not unpleasant. We went on a saturday night at 7:00 and waited 25 minutes. There is a bar with pool tables, a juke box and a dart board to keep you entertained so long as you don't have youngsters with you.. If so, there are some arcade games and a snack bar that may keep you entertained long enough before you lane opens up. Bathrooms could be cleaner, but don't forget, you ARE at a bowling alley.. Appreciate it for what it is!
