Check Out These Popular Bowling Alleys in Philadelphia

Whether you’re a part of a league or you just do it for fun, bowling is an all-American pastime beloved by people of all ages. Lace up your bowling shoes, pack up your ball and get ready for some old-fashioned fun at these two great alleys in the City of Brotherly Love.

PEP Bowl
South Philadelphia’s PEP Bowl is located just minutes away from Center City, making it a convenient bowling alley for residents all over the city. The vintage-style alley dates back to the 1950s, but it’s been updated over the years to create a state-of-the-art experience. It’s also very popular for large parties. Best of all, PEP Bowl donates its proceeds to help people with developmental disabilities find employment and necessary services in the Philadelphia area.

North Bowl
North Bowl is an upscale, stylish bowling alley with a food menu that would rival most hip restaurants. Each dish is made with local meats and produce, and the bar serves 12 rotating draft beer selections, handcrafted cocktails, and an impressive wine list. North Bowl also offers vintage arcade games, pool tables, and a lounge area if you want to hang out after your game is over. Service industry professionals love North Bowl’s Monday night Industry Night, and the bowling alley also has daily happy hours on weekdays from 5 to 7 p.m.
