    I found them all revolting....except page 2, 3, and 13. It should be renamed from "America's Coolest Bowling Alleys" to "25 'Bowling Alleys' Where People Can Go to Not Bowl".

    The best bowling alley ever is in Reno...so they should have an article "The Only Great Bowling Alley" and just list it. Ironically you aren't allowed to bowl there unless you're in some tournament or something...which sucks...but, someday...someday...

    Not real impressed. they have 1 such place in michigan that I know of and it is not very popular with bowlers. The yuppies like it because it has neo-modern deco. The food is some obscure yuppie cuisine (insert $50 for tofu nachos) and like $10 a game for bowling. They have couches, etc. instead of chairs. About 10-12 lanes. It is really pathetic. I expected to see it on this list.

    We finally agree on something. And I knew it was in Novi...I figured either Novi or Royal Oak...but Royal Oak doesn't have enough room near downtown for an alley...so if it wasn't on the west coast, it had to be Novi. Yuppie mecca.

I mean it's only 4 amf 4 Brunswick lanes but they will lay down and shot you ask for it's got the biggest pro shop ever and BYOB and food can't beat bringing in a cooler of Fat tire or dog fish head IPA and get lit and bowl. Ha ha ha

    I was talking about the National Bowling Stadium.

    From what I "read"...you can't go there and pay to roll a few games. It can be reserved for corporate parties...for probably mucho bucks...but otherwise you have to be in some kind of big time tournament to bowl there.

    It was disgusting. More than half of the alleys on that list...they were "great" because of the food they served. Here's an idea...go to a *%&^ing restaurant!!

    Jsesus...bowling alleys don't need to be sports bars, arcades, pool halls, gourmet restaurants, or brewerys....they just need to be BOWLING ALLEYS!! I don't rate my restaurants on how good their bowling alleys are....idiots.

    I'm turing into such a curmudgeon...that life is nearly unbearable. I swear I'm like 3 degrees away from Michael Douglas in Falling Down.
