In the mood for bowling ? Check out Plank in Oakland. Equal parts beer garden , bowling alley , and arcade , this new spot also offers a full food menu and a draft beer list that is 42 taps strong. Read more

Tons of outdoor seating , great beer garden , short happy hour . Love playing the bocce ball courts!

Justin Sullivan

On a sunny afternoon in Oakland there's no finer place to have a drink than out in back of Plank. Play corn hole . It's free.

Jason Baxter

Bocce and bowling . Nice outdoor patio . Go for a team building event or party during a weekday if you can and you'll have the place mostly to yourselves.

Brian Strauss

Super fun for adults and kids alike. Finally a place of amusement that doesn't treat the food as after thought. Good burger !!

Ms Helene

Go for waterside dining and games. Skip tuna poké and raw roasted brussel sprouts

Duane Mowrer

Just know that it's going to be noisier than you expect. As long as you're good with that, it's a great place to go.

Yaron S

Patio is great on Sundays. Bocce , football , beer , and the farmers market just outside. You've been warned, service is slow.

Channelle M.I A Brown

Atmosphere nice since it's new. Food is pricy for a bowling alley the drinks were not mixed well and 45 bucks for a lane on the weekends..

Thomas L.

Still working out kinks, but the food and games were great. Third time here in ten days

Shina

Definitely get the chicken wings ! Great spot for large groups.

Nick Collins

First time here, old by our server that drinks take 20 min, and food takes 45 min. What a first great impression

Amanda Moreland

Fun atmosphere , not the best gin and tonic I have ever had.

Keith Smith

Reasonable priced drinks but they need more bartenders during busy times. Wait 15 minutes for a coke

Jay-ar B.

so-so place but the food i got was pretty good. security is quick to boot everyone out 5 mins before closing time.

Tone Mosley

Bartenders are slow. Ordered wings & they tasted like old wings that were frozen in a bag and then deep fried to an extra toughness. Didn't bowl. But it looked fun I guess

Jenn Caballero

Insanely crowded on weekend nights. Expect to wait literally hours for a bowling lane .

Allison H

Service is ridiculously slow. They also don't regularly bus tables and you'll often find yourself surrounded by your own empty plates and other peoples dirty plates at empty tables next to you.

Vic B

Nice Beer Garden Area, order at the bar because service is SUPEEEEEEEEERRR SLOW.

Nic Neinken

This place is huge. It's an amusement park .

Stephanie Lockner

Anything here is amazing

Ryan Block

Good place to let kids run around like crazy.

Jen Correia

Beer , bocce , bowling , games

Joseph Leung

Crap food and service. I hope the bowling is good.

Volker Neumann

Bowling pay by the game!

Keith Smith

Service at lanes in intolerable....90 minute wait for food. AND the seating area at the lanes is too cramped!!

Ryan Rix

Loud , the food was gross and cold. Took fifteen minutes for drinks to be made and it was still somehow more expensive than anywhere else

Collin Straka

Severely understaffed, order was wrong... Just felt more like a transaction than a customer

Rocky

Shitty place to watch a game

Kevin Harper

Overpriced: $8 drafts , $9 for fries .

Kelsey Kotzebue

poor service outside and the nachos were dry

Yvan Du Rêve

Very slow service. ☹️

Tina D

Very poor service and unprofessional employees.
