If bowling alleys make you think of sallow plastic seating and greasy old men, head over to North Bowl, a “strikingly different” twist on the traditional facility. Billing itself as a combination of lounge and lanes, the 21,000-square-foot converted mechanics garage boasts nightlife highlights and entertainment options in a lush, welcoming setting. From retro décor (think, benches from ‘50s-era bowling alleys) to arcade games and an overlooking lounge that peeks out onto the lanes, North Bowl combines sophistication with atmospheric fun. Menu items feature familiar fried favorites (eggplant parmesan bites, six varieties of tater-tots, cheesesteak skins), lighter options (blackened tofu sandwich, tomato soup), and all-American classics like corn dogs, sliders, and mac ’n’ cheese, while any drink of your choice is available at the sculptural, fully stocked bar. Come by with friends or a date for a classy take on a classic experience.
