Presidio Bowl offers old school fun with modern amenities, including automatic scoring, pop-up bumpers for children, a grill, and a full bar.

Lanes fill up quickly, so plan to make a reservation in advance. There is also very limited walk-in availability. Or skip the bowling and grab a beer or cocktail to enjoy with a burger on their patio overlooking the Main Parade Lawn and San Francisco Bay.

And if you’ve got kids, they are known for fabulous bowling parties.

Why We Love Presidio Bowl

Presidio Bowl is the last true old school bowling alley in San Francisco, with all the charm and nostalgia you can imagine. The excellent food and wide drink selection is icing on the cake at this classic but updated institution.

Accessibility at Presidio Bowl

There is a wheelchair-accessible parking spot directly in front of the entrance to Presidio Bowl. There is a ramp from the parking lot to the entrance.

Insider Tip

This place is popular so make a reservation in advance on the Presidio Bowl website. If the system says “sold out,” try another time as they don’t hold lanes for walk-ins. Reservations include unlimited bowling and shoe rental for up to six people per lane during the reserved time period.

Outdoor Patio and Fire Pit

The outdoor patio has incredible views of San Francisco Bay and the Main Parade Lawn. And you don’t have to bowl to enjoy the food and drink. Everyone can pull up a chair around the fire pit.
