North Bowl: Bowling and Beers With Retro Style

If you’re tired of visiting outdated, smoke-filled bowling alleys that haven’t been updated since the ‘80s, you’ll love the chic, retro style of Philadelphia’s North Bowl. This hip and upscale bowling alley is just as fun and relaxed as the older options, but it features 21,000 square feet of lounge spaces, bowling lanes, and dining areas that you just won’t find at your typical bowling alley.

In the downstairs level of the bi-level building, you’ll find the colorful bowling lanes, a dining area, and a sleek bar. If all of that bowling makes you hungry, you can grab gourmet food items like braised beef wonton tacos and crunchy Asian ramen noodle salads. You can even order food laneside! Upstairs, North Bowl has four more private bowling lanes, pool tables, arcade games, and a cocktail lounge.

If you’re really serious about bowling, North Bowl hosts bowling leagues for various skill levels where you can engage in a little friendly competition.
