Bowling, Blue Ribbon food and a packed live-music calendar on Wythe Avenue.

Bowling lanes, a concert stage and a full-service restaurant under one roof on Wythe Avenue. On any given week the calendar swings from hip-hop legends to Grateful Dead tribute nights to disco dance parties, plus family bowl sessions on some weekend days.

The food is by Blue Ribbon, and the drinks run to pitchers of local beer and frozen margaritas. Book a lane before a show, or rent one for the whole night with friends.

Editor’s tip

Pair a show with a lane add-on, or check the calendar for a family bowl with kids.
