Posted: May 30 2005, 04:50 PM
Reviewed: Cambrian Bowl
Street: 14900 Camden Ave. · City: San Jose · Phone: 408.377.2354 ·
Description: Family owned and operated bowling alley in the Cambrian neighborhood of San Jose featuring 32 lanes, a cocktail
lounge, video games, coffee shop, oddyssey bowling, and leagues for all ages.
Review Title: Pleasant & Fun Staff, Nice Bowling, Lanes in Good Condition · Overall Score: 8
(Overall Rating: 8, Value: 10, Fun: 8, )
My Opinion:
I'm not exactly the bowling extraordinaire. In fact, my main claim to bowling fame was my development of a dive to the ground move that I had to make after releasing the ball for a few months when I had to protect a back injury from any twisting.
Still, I've been in enough bowling alleys and have bowled enough bad games there to know a good alley. I've only bowled at Cambrian Bowl a few times, but it was a good experience each time and notably, the staff was part of the experience. Usually the staff is what makes you want to never go back again. We did a Social Wave event there once and the manager snuck up behind us and start sweeping her hand from side to side quickly at us while making a funny face. She baffled us, but she was trying to wave at us in a social manner, get it? That caught us all by surprise, next time we'll be ready for offbeat humor and a staff that's not just waiting to get off work.
Although the building is old and there's nothing fancy at all about the interiors, it was pretty clean each time I was there and stuff that needs to be well maintained was in good condition. Cambrian Bowl advertises that they're family owned and operated since 1958. Indeed, you really get the "throwback" sort of feel when you walk into this place, but that's part of the charm. Be sure to see the displays of antique appliances set up near the oversized front entrance.
Other pluses: Special bowling deals, cheap bowling during low-demand hours, special contests held regularly, special events, birthday parties.

Review Title: Last Great Deal for bowling
My Rating: Thumbs Up!
My Opinion:
For the summer, they are offering $2.75/games, almost half everyone else for open play. It is applicable before and after leagues. Take advantage of this summer special. For example, Oakridge charges minimum of $5/game before five and six after. We just went and can't wait to go again.
