They have about 8 lanes If I remember correctly. The staff was all nice. The new bar that they just put in is nice, although it looks a lot different than the rest of the building. It's not blocked off or In a separate room, its wide open so you can just walk right on up. They have a good amount of beers on tap and the pizza is actually pretty solid.





Typical bowling alley. Nice staff.





Dinner





Our first couple times ordering the pizza was absolutely delicious. The last handful of times we have ordered the pizza has been super greasy. Still a better option than the big chain pizza places in Oak Harbor.










Other





Could have been five stars if they had air conditioning and senior/military discounts. Very friendly clerk. Overall a very fun day.





Meal type





Have gone here for years, and love it. They have lots of things for kids, and several for adults besides bowling. They've put in an arcade and the kiddos just love it





my husband and I came here for the first time and right off the bat, we had many technical issues with the arcade games, bowling lane, and vending machine. I lost a dollar in the vending machine; a few arcade games were broken and wouldn’t register the card or turn on. Still had some fun though. The photo booth worked. We also ordered boneless wings which turned out really great. The biggest issue we had was the bowling lane. It would register the wrong pin count, not recycle the pins, pins would topple over after recycling, bowling balls not being returned until much later. And than on top of the malfunctions, we paid for the $20/hour, but that’s not even worth it after all the glitches we had. We were almost through our fourth game of bowling but our lane got shut down mid-bowl. wouldn’t even at least allow us to finish the game and pay extra. So stick with the $5/game; it’s not worth the $20/hr. Nonetheless, play at your own risk. We still enjoyed our time and had some fun. Just had to get past the issues.





Love this place, great for adults and kids!





Amazing food and good times

Great bowling, pretty good bar, arcade is a nice plus





Wow, Oak Bowl, you need to have nicer employees working your counter and working with children today. Pushy, rude women with kids, REALLY !!!!!! Thank goodness for the guy that is here working the counter because he knows how to deal with customers and the children, thank you to him. Where are the nice, patient ladies that are usually here ????? Done spending money here while they are here.

Good pizza to go with a fun bowling experience. Get there early for cosmic nights. The little arcade is great for kids.

Friendly staffing service. The barn Pizza are great. It is a bit expensive for pulling itself. The arcade is fun for the kids. Overall it's one of the best things to do in Oak Harbor with a family, if you have the money





The pizza is the best in town! Good beers too. Arcade for the kids! Nice new bar area too.










Service





Really had a great time, the unlimited option for the arcade was really awesome. Pizza wasn't terrible, and the bowling was fun. My kids and I enjoyed our time alot.. and almost came back a second night hahah. Here's a hint {I won't take a ????} leave the pizzas in a little longer... Get a few lighter balls for the kiddos... Other than that.. You rock!





I had a great time.










Not sure what happened but the pizza wasn't enjoyable this time. Friendly staff kept me from rating this lower.





Okay food but I always had fun bowling.










Didn't try the food, but the bowling alley and arcade was lots of fun! Prices are very reasonable.

Decently clean, decent staff. Food is nothing too write home about, but it's not bad, better then what you'd expect from a bowling alley.





Had fun.... Really busy and understaffed.





Great food fun times ! Love it

Nice local lane. Older equipment but in good repair. Food was the high point for me. The pizza and garlic knots are killer.

Price per person





It's a fun place to bowl, and the arcade is fun when it isn't too busy. The place is... clean-ish, and the prices on food are way to high for what you get. It's best to go on Sunday when games are $2 per person.

























Went there last night with my boys and had a good time. Boy did I pay a chunk of change for it! For an XL pizza with 2 toppings and 3 arcade cards with $18 each on it was about $75 and 3 games of bowling for 3 people was a little over $50. Dang! Having teenage boys is not for the faint of heart or cheapskates, ha Ha! The ladies behind the counter were great though and took good care of us. If you go there to bowl be sure to dress light because it gets really warm to the point you'll end up having to step outside for a while to cool off, and as I write this we're in winter! Thanks for reading this. ✌





Takeout: Yes





I held a birthday party here for my daughter. When we got there everything was set up and decorated. Several managers came to check on us throughout the party and we had no time limit. The hostess we had was extremely helpful and everyone had a good time.





The pizza is amazimg and the arcade is okay but the bowling is alot of fun.

The lanes there are good but the pin drop and stuff messes up some times





The Oak Bowl features an excellent bar poker room with round-table tournaments and cash games most evenings, including Omaha and Texas Hold'em. The bowling alley contains a large arcade and pizza restaurant, making it a full package for an evening of fun for a people of any age.




















All I can say is its the best pizza on the north end of the island Nothing fancy but great pizza










Oak Bowl recently got new management, and it's awesome! Super nice people who are willing to work with you!





The garlic knots and pizza were delicious! The staff was friendly and our kids enjoyed the arcade. It was fairly quiet for a bowling alley and arcade!




















Staff had always been very professional

Always fun, the kids enjoy the bowling and the arcade! Just one helpful hint, if you've got any food allergies make sure you eat before you go. We made sure to emphasize a dairy intolerance and STILL got a slice of cheese on my burger, returned and they gladly fixed it but it still made me sick. Lesson learned.















Great pizza an garlic dough knots!










Oak Bowl is definitely a try-hard bowling establishment. They offer a great bowling experience it's clean and we'll maintained. They also have an arcade, with console arcade options. Mario's Pizza is a great pizza option, one of the best in town. It's a great stop for the family.

I drank, I bowled, I kicked some ass on super smash brothers. This place did an excellent job of providing a venue for my activities, and the quality of the alcohol and lanes was awesome. The prices (not for the alcohol) were quite reasonable as well.

Kept having to move lanes, bad service. Not recommended





this is one of those places you drive by constantly and say to yourself ill check it out someday. well i finally checked it out after years of putting it off and honestly regret it! its great! definitely the most underrated place on the island





Horrible staff! My 2 year old daughter was struck in the face by the maintenance man while she was walking back to me. He pretty much walked into her causing her head to be pushed backwards by his hand. I was walking towards him when he disappeared into the back room. The manager was not engaged with his customers and hardly looked them in the face. Upon telling the manager he apologized but seemed distracted. After realizing I wasn't going to get help I simply told him we were leaving. We didn't even get a chance to get prizes for all the money we spent on tokens for the arcade games. The food was terrible and the booths were just hard wood booths which were very uncomfortable. I'm sorry that I wasted my money here! A horrible 5th birthday for my son.





Good fun for everyone..















Great arcade and great atmosphere





A bit more expensive than I'd like for food, but overall a good value for bowling. The video game area is nice. Appreciated being able to watch Seahawks and Mariners while bowling.










Dinner





Good bowling place.





Wonderful





Yassssssss queen.





Fun time and amazing pizza and cheesy bread knots





Good staff and pretty good pizza. Only thing is that two lanes kept creating complications. Balls weren’t returning back after we bowled.










Came here to watch exchange students bowl (I was a host family). They had a lot of fun here!





Not very clean or organized. But it is something to do with the family and the staff is nice





Pizza has crispy crust with plenty of toppings. Sauce is very good without it being esthetic. Cheese burgers are real good. Went there for a 5 year olds birthday party and kids had a ball. Staff was great with the kids.





Good pizzas. Not great. Crust was fluffy and garlicky. Toppings were fresh. Sauce needs more zing in my opinion.





Enjoyed having a party here!










Dinner





Best pizza on the island! Best garlic knots I've ever had! Fun environment, even better service.

Grandkids had lots of fun bowling and playing video games. Masks still required, but that is for our protection and appreciated.










Great environment pretty decent arcade just don't share an arcade card otherwise you'll have to wait 45 to 30 seconds every time other than that skee ball was 9 testic beat the beautiful woman I was playing against










Small town...small bowling alley. Not alot of options. Just not my cup of tea










Great place for family time










Great arcade for the kids. Friendly staff.

























I came in with my girlfriend and her 4 year old son, who's autistic; we tried bowling by the hour and immediately found out he wasn't a fan of bowling shoes. The staff was super friendly, and automatically credited the hour of bowling towards arcade points.










Great staff. They were very helpful. Great prices. Grandson loved the game area for kids. Will definitely be returning.





Bowling and pizza? What could be better?





The feel of the lanes are off. The music is too loud and the people here smell like nuts. My poor experience is deserving of this review but others might enjoy. Take care now.

Cross country team came here with free game tickets and we each payed like 2 bucks to play. They were patient and super cool. Great place!





My husband and I came in with the plan of playing pinball. We first went and asked if there were any drink specials and we were told to go to the bar and inquire further. When we went to the bar and asked about drink specials the bartender quickly interrupted his conversation with the one other person at the bar to tell us know there were no drink specials that day. Then he promptly returned back to his conversation before helping us any further. If he had told me about one drink special or perhaps even made one up on the spot I would have gladly bought it but instead he returned back to his friend so we left. We went to the game area and out of to pinball machines only one was in service. We bought a $5 unlimited play for 30 minutes so that we could play Pinball however when we went to the arcade area the pinball machine was one of few that did not work with the unlimited play option. Overall I left there with sort of a bad taste in my mouth because of lack of customer service lack of drink specials and lack of arcade games for adults. Overall it was a lacklustre experience. If I had kids and they wanted to have a birthday party I would probably choose this spot, but otherwise I don't think I'll be returning anytime soon.

Great fun and exercise for the whole family pleasant experience





The lady named Bonnie that was working was super nice! Was very sad to hear she was quitting.

Been my favorite bowling alley since I was a kid.










I am a longtime customer and friend to some ppl who play in a league Wednesday evenings. I find Oak Bowl to be a great place to be at. They have good food, drinks, and a play area especially for kids, that features pinball games and video games appropriate for children under 18; rechargeable cards to play the games with, with points and rewards. They have a quieter area set aside to simply watch the teams as they play. I'm giving them a 4 star review, only because they play such explicit and offensive music when children are present. As summer league, many ppl bring their children to play while they wait. Generally, the background music is great, playing classic rock, pop, alternative, etc. But around 9p.m., they start playing the explicit, crude, hip hop videos, that I personally find offensive and vulgar. Children are exposed to these music videos of butts and breasts, explicit lyrics discribing various sexual acts and body parts that I seriously think is inappropriate for a family oriented public entertainment location to promote. I just think it inappropriate for ANY family oriented business to play the suggestively sexual lyrics and videos, unless it is a private party.

Good food, fun entertainment. Loads of fun for families and get togethers. Had some really great birthday parties here.

arcade room offers lots of games ????????Pizza was good! and the staff is all nice and friendly










The Best Pizza ???????? in Oak Harbor... Hands Down!! Facility is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive! Love the vintage photos, music videos and the arcade! ????????????????????. One of the best family friendly places in Oak Harbor day or night!!















We love the Oak Bowl but it has gotten too pricey for us to play. Brought the grandkids and played 3 rounds and it costed us $82 for our night. It's way cheaper to just go to Mt. Vernon. The service was great though and I wish I could say the pizza was good but it was not. Sorry Oak Bowl I know we are friends but I believe in honesty.















Several lanes were out of order and lots of VERY young children made it difficult to concentrate. Still managed a 183 somehow!





I am pleasantly surprise that they have made good food over the years. Very family friendly and recently improved their menu items. Fries used to be separate, now they are part of the meal. But you can still order them as a single item. Burgers are juicy and made your way. Pizza is pretty good. Service can be prompt or a little slow depending on how busy the bowling ally is. Cleanliness is a 5 star. I noticed they have had some of the same employees for years. This place is great because while you wait for your food there is a arcade to keep children occupied. Or perhaps your there to bowl too ;)





Love the food. Probably my favorite pizza in town.





Curbside pickup: Yes





I have so much fun there

Prices were fair and a great atmosphere.

I've been coming to Oak Bowl since 2017 and its always been one of my favorite places to go to have a great time with family and friends. Andrew is a hard working employee and seems like he's always working when I visit! Good on him. Thanks for the fun times Oak Bowl!





Food took a long time to prepare. There was no clear indication as to where to pay for bowling, etc. Staff were lacking personality. Music during our session was the worst too.





Lunch















Outdoor seating: Yes





Nice alley with plenty games for kids...





It's a fun place in town to hang out with friends and family. Great food and drinks.





It's great for kids. I bring my kids here all the time. My kids love the arcade room and the food is a plus. We sometimes just come to play the arcade room. There is so much to do. They are even great for parties.

Absolutely a fantastic place to go play and have fun. Grandkids love it..Wife loves it, I love it:) Great Food





We had our Spring Classic Grand tournament there. We had a great time. Thanks Oak Bowl for hosting this year.










We always have a great time. family fun. Birthday parties. Pizza and beer and of course bowling winch can be even more fun when you don't know how lot of laughs and they have a great arcade PS the bars not too bad things are awesome no water there LOL















To the owner: On March 28th I went to oak bowl with a party of 4 adults and 3 kids for the first time. We requested two lanes for the open bowl on Sunday with the understanding first time bowlers receive a $10 voucher received from the oak bowl website. During our time there our lane was continuously breaking down and our balls were not being returned. We informed the staff members who were bowling on a near by lane. They replied “OK” and continued bowling and step outside. After approximately 20 minutes a number of employees retrieved our balls. The ball return issue continued and the service continued to be extremely slow. Our party also ordered food and drinks which required searching the ally for a staff member to assist us. Due to the poor service, the employee said he would compensate a couple games ($12) but proceeded to say we would not receive the first time discount ($10) because our games were compensated. In addition our group was over charged (hourly rate rather than per game when majority of our time was spent waiting for our balls to be returned) and the ally refused to acknowledge the military discount. Overall the service was awful and the 5 employees on staff at the time were inconsiderate, lazy, and hardly competent. The equipment was sorely lacking. I would not recommend ever attending this bowling ally.





Great Place to Take Family and Friends!!










If you just go for the arcade like we did, there aren't many options, but we had a good time. $5 for 30 min unlimited (except the halo game they have) is a good deal.





Go Saturday nights or whenever they have the cosmic bowling night. 15$ a person for three hours.





It's a fun place for both young and older...










Pretty solid pizza tbh, can't speak to the bowling





Excellent ????





You have to try the cheesey garlic knots from Mario's the best pizza were very good as well. The staff was very accommodating for girls daughters birthday party and made her feel like the princess she is. Clean well kept and there is a full service bar ????










Great place good food... sometimes it can be on the greasy side but the fries pickles are on point










The pizza is good and so is the service. The only bad thing was it was not up to date with everything. My group had to ask the people to fix our lane every 5 minutes. The song choice not so good. The arcade was fun but they had some games twice or Mabey even three times, they were just different names. Although there was quite a bit of negative's it was a good place!















The best in town

Clean, not too crowded and $10 for an hour of unlimited arcade play is a really great value.

Bowling is cheap fun? arcade is okay. Food is waaay too greasy for my taste. So eat before hand?





Fair pricing, could change the gaming cards a little diffrent but besides that great place.





This place is a great time, delicious fries, blacklight bowling, and a really cool bartender.





Fun





Very good pizza - we do pickup orders which are fast and always fresh ingredients/ready to go when you arrive. bowling alley is a flashback to the 50s and 60s but with modern equipment.





For a small town bowling alley it's pretty Top Notch good arcade for the kids decent prices for bowling and shoes and the food's pretty good like the idea of a game card all you can play for set prices and the prices aren't that bad





Great food as well as social place





First time at Oak Bowl, sure we enjoyed it. The staff were very helpful to my daughter in her first day. Thank you Dale.










We had a great time doing my sons birthday here. The arcade game are fun and there was a good selection for all ages. It is nice that the arcade room is separate from the bowling so the kids can run around and not bother anyone. The pizza was good and the staff was nice and helpful.

It was ok





This review is for Mario's pizza inside, as I was visiting a friend and wanted to pick up a pie to bring with us as a surprise. After seeing the other awesome reviews, I called in an order as we were driving from out of town. The manager was friendly and helped me with the order. He was cordial but professional. When we arrived, we saw that the bowl meant it was a bowling alley! I was dubious at first, but as I entered I could tell this was a throwback bowling alley. Old style everything and an awesome looking arcade. Being on Whidbey Island as the only bowling alley, they really do a great job serving military patrons as I saw ads for discounts everywhere for members of the armed forces. That aside, the pizza we ordered was baked fresh with a conveyor style pizza oven. It was a bit costly, but when we brought it in to our friend's house and opened up the box, a smell of italian spices mixed with seasoned breading made our senses perk. It was one of the best pizzas I ever tasted. Likely, just like the manager said, this is probably the best pizza on the island. Located just 3 minutes from base housing too. Awesome pizza, awesome bowling alley atmosphere. If you have $20 or $30 burning a hole in your pocket, come here and have a blast and a great pizza!!!!!!

Pizza is great and so is the bowling. You will constantly find yourself more amazed at how fun it is. The arcade is pricey, but worth it.





Grandson's 13th. Never been there B4. Pleasantly surprised. VERY helpful and attentive staff, good pizza, besides bowling there's a decent activity area and really set up nicely for group parties. Had a fun time and highly recommend checking it out if you're on the hunt for a kid party kind of place.
