I love Bel Mateo bowl. I have been to a kid's birthday party there as well as bowling as a group and enjoyed myself each time. They have great birthday parties. You get a couple of lanes and later have their party room where you can order hot dogs or pizza. They don't appear to supply cakes, however, which can add to the work you need to put into the party. One of the other parents also was not happy that they only had soda or water.
For my group event they had the alley lit nicely for nighttime and had rock music and was enjoyable for everyone. It's a great locally run shop.
