Gateway Entertainment Centre

Nice atmosphere. Lady working the bar and shoe desk was not all that pleasant but other workers were friendly. Not much to do there for kids younger than 5 I had a hard time keeping my 4 year old busy but other than that it was a fun time. Cost of games and bowling and later tag was fine. Drinks were steep.

Love this bowling centre! The staff is very friendly and extremely helpful. I lost my wallet here while playing a game and one of the staff named Stephanie took the time to come and help me look for it until I had it. Definately my favourite bowling alley in the edmonton area!

Really good place to bowl. The staff was nice and friendly. Would definitely be going back. We got to experience a bit of neon bowling on a Sunday which was really cool.

Wonderful staff. Resolve all your bowling and dining problems swiftly. The lanes are good. The decoration is retro and everyone has his own style and preference. Great music. Will go again.

Friends and I go to Gateway to bowl, weekly. Customer service kinda sucks, but I would guess that’s more to do with working conditions rather than the workers themselves. Unless gateway is *that* bad at hiring.

The food is pretty decent if you can hunt down a server to order from.

There’s often a wait for a lane (we go on cheap Tuesdays), but there’s plenty of stuff to keep you entertained while you wait for a lane. They have a wait list system where they will text you when a lane becomes available which is nice!

The equipment is what it is. I don’t have a reference for comparison. Some of the lanes are a bit wonky (35/36!) and almost every week we have a problem with pins not registering properly, but we get it taken care of pretty quickly. No big deal.

We consider the bad and the good as all a part of the experience. And obviously it’s not that bad, because we keep going back! But if you’re expecting to be floored with great customer service and state of the art facilities, this ain’t the place. If you’re expecting some fun, chill bowling with friends and some decent snacks, you’ll be happy.
