F.A.Q.

How do I book an event at Westside Bowl?

Booking an event is easy. Please use our Booking Page to start a conversation about your next event.

Is your venue all ages?

Yes. Occasionally we host events that are 18 and 21 and over. Those events will be listed as such. If no age requirements are mentioned, it is an all ages event.

Do you offer ADA accommodations?

Yes. It is our intent to serve all patrons equally and to offer an accessible and barrier-free event experience. If you or a member of your party require ADA accommodations, we ask that you contact the venue box office reasonably in advance of the event you are attending, so we can make every effort to accommodate specific requests. Our Trophy Room (basement) is not wheelchair accessible and there is little seating available.

Do you allow cameras and recording devices?

Cameras, video cameras, and other sound recording devices are not permitted without prior permission from management. If an artist requests a “no-camera” policy, this includes cell phones. Our staff is required to politely enforce this on behalf of the artist. The venue reserves the right to make determinations in this area.

What is your bag policy?

Bags are permitted in the venue but are subject to search.

Can I have my tickets refunded?

All sales are final unless the show is cancelled by the artist or venue. Online ticket purchases will automatically be refunded to you. If you purchased tickets at the box office or over the phone, refunds will be given at point of purchase.

What does general admission mean?

General Admission means there are no assigned seats.

What time do doors open and what time does the event start?

Door and show time vary per event. Each event listing will have door time stated. The time on your ticket also states the door time. Shows typically start 30 – 60 minutes after doors open. Show times vary per show. We are typically open as a restaurant and bowling alley so patrons are welcome to arrive at any time. You will be required to purchase a ticket if an event is starting.

Do you serve food?

Can I re-enter the building?

We typically allow people to re-enter as long as they have a wrist band. Some events may vary. We do have a designated smoking area where you can have a cigarette and take your drink outside.

What if I loose an item?

If you left something behind, please call us 330-792-7675. When we find items or gear we place it in our lost and found.
