REVS Bowling & Entertainment Company

Fun place to visit with friends if you guys are wanting a chill spot to hang out for a couple of hours! It’s close to the Skytrain, parking is free (with a temporary pass, grabbed at the front desk) and it’s actually not that expensive to play either!
Food is greasy, but good. We got pizza and pop to keep things simple! They request that people don’t bring in any outdoor food or drinks, which is quite typical.
Do note: the screens flicker and blur from time to time. They installed new tv monitors for shows and stuff in between the old school screens so it kinda distracts you.
The parking lot looks semi-​sketch, but I would say give it a shot, considering its one of the few bowling alleys remaining and they’re one of the better ones.

We booked our staff party here and we were really disappointed. We had to ask repeatedly for someone to take our order, which wasn’t our servers fault, she seemed to be the only one in staff and was running around like mad. When she did stop by to take our order, she didn’t bring us any menus, so she had to leave to go grab them. She brought three menus, covered in pop, like soaking wet and sticky. One had a receipt stuck to it from a week earlier. We actually had to ask for a rag to wipe them off before anyone wanted to order. When our order came, she was balancing three pitchers of beer and cups of pop with one hand, pop went flying into all of our shoes that were on the ground by our table.
The actual bowling wasn’t much better, our lane kept resetting on its own mid bowl. We had to ask four times for them to come fix our lane.
Our three lanes had super dirty tables and chairs and the bathrooms were disgusting. I saw the women’s myself, and a guy in our group said there was piss all over the men’s.
The only positive thing I can say is that the people who worked there were really nice. They were all young people and were very apologetic about everything. Overall, I would not go back.

Though I absolutely LOVE Revs, I can’t give this place a perfect ⁵⁄₅.
Apparently this place is the biggest bowling alley in West Canada, which isn’t hard to believe with it’s many lanes to play in. Many inexperienced bowlers have the option to raise the gutter railings up, which is a nice addition.
Revs is a great place to go with friends, there are deals and specials at certain days and times, I went a few times in the summer to take advantage of that.
Not only do they have bowling, but also darts, billiards and various other arcade games … however you still have to pay for that.
Speaking of paying, you have to pay for parking as well unless you Skytain to Holdom station which it’s conveniently next to.
You can order food and drinks, there’s a pizza place and a kitchen right upstairs in the pub and the kind receptionists will bring those down for you.
The place where Revs really shines is the pub and the downstairs gym.
Many people are actually unaware there’s a bunch of racquetball courts, a boxing ring and a gym located just right of the bowling alley.
It’s one of the best places to go and I seriously recommend playing racquetball.

I literally live around the corner from this place. I used to hang out here all the time when I was young, immature teenager with a group of friends. It was our neighborhood hang out spot~! :P
This place tries to change from time to time, but really, it just reminds me of the old times I have had here, and the amazing memories created here. For sure this place tires to be hip, awesome, and with the times, but really I think they should just make it a place where you can drink and bowl at the same time.
I don’t recommend the food here, because it seems sketch, but maybe grab a drink and some beers. They have dart boards here too now. But the machines are crappy, and overly used, and dirty. Will not be coming here for darts anymore.
The bowling is cheap, and fun on a good night with friends. Passing time quickly, and do fun activities at the same time. The parking here is ALWAYS packed, and sometimes it is hard to find Princess spots, so just park a little bit farther, the parking lot is huge, use it!
I am here from time to time, so if you are in the area, come say hi and I’ll give you Dru hugs :)

Save your time and money go somewhere else
I came here with my little cousins, who have never been bowling before. I decided to take them to Revs since it’s close to my house… What a huge mistake that was.
Our bowling lane kept acting up on us every time, I kept having to call the attendance. Our game even shut down on us.
Half an hour into our game we were hungry. We decided to order some nachos with lots of cheese. It’s took 45 minutes for our nachos to arrive, and when It did we were all shocked. The cheese was burnt I mean burnt. Ahh hello how hard is it to make nachos… So I went back and asked them to make us another one they did, however it came 30min later not burnt. They said sorry and have us a pitcher of pop… Not to mention Lousy service too.
Save your time and money so somewhere else

In case you don’t know Town & Country Bowling has been closed for the last week or so cuz of water damage. I don’t know when it’s going to be open again. Anyways we ended up going to Revs in Burnaby to bowl instead.
It has been many years since I last went to Revs. It’s a large and very spacious bowling alley. I would say Revs has almost 50 bowling lanes. We showed up around 8 pm and it was pretty quiet. We ended up playing 2 games $ 4.00 per game. Not too bad. But they have a deal for week day after 9 pm bowling. $ 5.00 for the first game and $ 1.00 per game thereafter. That’s a pretty good deal.
The clientele is family orientated. Not too many low brow Neanderthals like you get at Town and Country. The only drawback is their low usage of air con! The bowling alley gets pretty piping hot in these summer months. I know the owners are trying to save on the air con bill but I hate sweating like a pig when I’m just bowling!
Outside of the air con issue I like Revs Bowling. I’ll probably come back!

not so new facility where you can enjoy bowling billiards and video games. full bar and open till late night. good pizza and a burger, theres lots of selection in the menu but everytime we were here for some unknown reason we ordered the same thing… funny but true… clean wash room but as i said trhe place is a bit old… even the rental bowling shoes are kinda old and some needs replacement… service is average. noise level is loud. free parking but you need to register your car by the reception… good place to chill-​out with friends have some drinks and a bite of food then sweat them out either by billiards or bowling…

I came to Revs on Friday February 20 for the first time ever and was very disappointed. I was with two other friends and there were some issues with our lane. The lane was jamming up and not working properly with the computer so it was staggering our turns. I would bowl once but then the computer would switch players without resetting the pins.
We had to go to the front desk for help over 6 times. We asked them to restart our game since we’d had so many problems and the score wasn’t accurate but they refused. The customer service was terrible. The attendant agreed with us that the lane wasn’t working properly but did not offer to fix our game or move us to a different lane. He said he couldn’t give free games. He wouldn’t give us a refund either. In the end, the computer malfunctioned and we didn’t even get to finish our game.
We went to the desk on our way out and complained again but once again no help at all. Very disappointed with the level of service and will not be returning.

Came here yesterday with my family and had to wait 2 hours for 2 lanes. There were about 9 lanes open that weren’t being while we had to wait. Finally after being told to just wait, we had to argue our way to receive just 2 lanes. Very poor management and this place does not even deserve a star.

Great place for the family and very kid-​friendly. Staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable and the place seems well-​kept (most of the time). Unfortunately we had to wipe down spilt beer stains at our table on our own before we sat down today.

At night the lights turn low and the house/​clubbing vibe break out with drinks and UV glow in the dark attire shines bright. This is one joint you can be proud to strike out in because you are one balling 10 pin super star.
Floors and equipment are clean, drinks and food available at your fingertips. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lots of lanes available for your friends.
They have electronic darts for entertainment but the arcade is small.
parking a abundant.
This place is a bit louder compared to The Zone in Richmond (silver city) but that’s not a fault whatsoever.

I have passed by this place many times on the skytrain. Came here for the first time the other day.
There is a lot of parking. If you are coming from Coquitlam, it is best to enter via the back by turning left on Holdom.
They have a lot of bowling lanes, several dart machines, food and other games.
It was interesting to have finally have come here, and I’d come back again if I couldn’t think of a better place to go to.

I’ve been here several times, and I’d have to say it’s my favourite bowling alley so far. Good prices $ 4 per game (which usually goes for about 45 minutes) and $ 4 for shoe rentals. Lots of lanes, usually full, so quite lively atmosphere. They have junk food which isn’t the greatest, and their coffee was awful — so definitely not a place you come to dine at.

Well your average bowling place…
Lanes worked, although glitches once.
The «call server» button at the table didn’t work =\
Place was really gross… Garbage all over, a mountain of paper towels in the bathroom… Water all over, etc
Staff didn’t seem to care at all…
And the music kept playing the same 10 songs.
First time bowlin here in van… Company was good, but yeah… Disappointed. =|

Looks like there have been a few changes since the last time I was here.
They’ve finally made the main parking lot free. You do need to grab a pass off the front counter though.
On Mondays, highballs are only $ 2.25(!?). Not sure if it’s legal, but I think I just found my go-​to watering hole. Can you even mix your own highballs at home for this cheap?
Oh yeah, there’s bowling here too. Almost forgot.
The interesting thing about the bowling system here (maybe it’s a common feature but none of us had seen this anywhere) is that you can actually split the same game between 2 lanes. You enter the names into the same pool, and if there are 8 of you (for example), Player 1 starts in lane A, and Player 5 starts in Lane B. The kicker is that after each player moves to the adjacent lane after finishing each frame. It keeps everyone going at the same pace, and keeps everyone involved. Special mention for this nifty little system. Now if only they’d upgrade from those 1990s-​era CRTs.
Lastly, the bowling was quite cheap, at $ 9 for 4 games, including shoe rentals. Sure beats watching a movie.

It’s always a fun time at REVS Bowling. Since I was a kid, bowling has been one of those things you do to kill time and have fun. Doesn’t matter how well (or poorly) you bowl, you still do it regardless.
The bowling aspect of REVS is what it is. There are multiple lanes available, shoe rentals fit for all sizes, and bowling balls for all strengths. Food, however, is another story. Don’t expect the freshest salads or perfect pizzas. Cooking is not their forte!
Despite this, anyone can still have a great time at REVS without eating. Parking is available in a massive lot, and if you’re not driving, Holdom Station is a 5 – 10 minute walk away.

Not the best bowling lanes, but a very good value for money.
The lane we had the bowl kept spinning left, so I suspect there was something wrong with the lane. And occasionally a pins will roll into gutter and stay there until someone else gutters one. But 40 bucks for 1.5 hours for up to 6 people, with shoes included is not bad at all.

I came here for one of my friend’s birthday parties on a Friday night. REVS Bowling is located on Lougheed Highway. In order to easily access the parking lot, you are better off traveling down Douglas Road, then turning left onto Goring Street. You have to pay for parking if you park in their actual parking lot at either the front desk or at the machine outside the front entrance.
We arrived at 8 PM, and since we couldn’t get reservations we got on the wait list. They give you a pager so you can hit up the bar while you’re waiting for your lanes to open up. We had to wait about ~25 minutes, but that’s not too bad for a Friday night. Some reviews mention that you have to buy food to purchase alcohol, but that didn’t seem to be the case for us, since we ordered a few pitchers of beers and no food between the 12 of us.
It cost us $ 17/​person to play 2 games, but that cost just increased on December 1^st to $ 20/​person on a Friday night. I thought that was a bit expensive for 2 games of bowling — especially compared to other bowling alleys in the Lower Mainland. I guess you’re paying for the perks of being able to drink alcohol right at the lanes and having 10 pin bowling on a Friday night. The drinks actually weren’t overpriced, and I really enjoyed the lychee-​bacardi 151 shots for $ 3.35+tax.
A warning about the shoes: They are velcro bowling shoes that have split sizes (7/​8, 9/​10, etc.). I’m a size 7.5÷8 depending on the shoe brand, and the size ⁷⁄₈ shoes were HUGE. I wasn’t the only one who had this complaint in our group, so consider sizing down.
The bowling itself was pretty good. There is a good selection of bowling balls ranging from 8 to 15 pounds. I’m terrible at bowling, but I still had a great time. Both games ended prematurely, with the light turning off at our bowling lane while 2 people still had one turn left. The staff fixed it pretty quickly, but that’s definitely an error that should be fixed.
The music playlist is a bit crazy. Way too many ballads and rap music, and not nearly enough dance music. I did like that they show the music videos, but whoever is in control of the music has a really interesting opinion of what music is appropriate to bowl to. A few reviews mention that you can text a number to request songs, and I wish I would have known that because that would have been awesome!
I didn’t actually use the bathroom, but the girls in our group mentioned that most of the toilets were clogged, and what wasn’t clogged was dirty. You don’t expect bowling alley bathrooms to be super clean, but that’s just terrible.
Overall, bowling is a great group activity and this bowling alley does offer a lot of perks. I just don’t think it’s the best bowling alley out there in the Lower Mainland.

REVS did a good job keeping up with the times and updating the place.
They let you text in songs to a phone number free of charge to request songs. The songs are put into a queue and are played along with the video on multiple screens while you’re bowling. Not sure when this was set up, but I haven’t been here for a long time now. I loved this. My friends and I kept requesting the cheesiest songs and we laughed so hard while having our beers and of course bowling.
Drinks and food are reasonable, but I wish there was 1 more bartender during the weekends. The long was quite long and we had to wait a while. He was super cheerful and did a great job though.

This place is fantastic… you need to get on the REVS bandwagon people.
They have a ton of lanes and cosmic bowling on the weekends, while it’s not the cheapest place to get your bowl on, it’s worth it.
They have a wide selection of foodstuffs, with table service at each of the lanes (just press a button and your server will appear).
Don’t be fooled by the fact that it’s a bowling alley — the food is great, I’ve had flat bread (with a Peruvian pepper on it), pretzels, chicken fingers etc — it’s all been really good. They also have a BBQ joint, and a pizza joint which you can order from.
Other key points — a cool video karaōke system with bumpin’ tunes, and a friendly staff. Only a couple negatives — you must pay for parking (or hop the skytrain, it’s next to holdom station. also — when it’s busy, they ran out of the popular shoe sizes — so go early and you won’t be disappointed.
