America's Coolest Bowling Alleys

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.

Ahh yes, the lanes that Emagine Movie Theaters own. Disgusting. Would never bowl there.

I would imagine anybody who hangs out in bowling forums isn't going to like most of these bowling centers.

You'd be surprised. For every hardcore traditionalist like me...there's a youngster that couldn't bowl at a place where you have to manually score.

I'm speaking about the bowling forums and regardless of age. If your spending time in bowling forums your probably really into bowling and would pass on the majority of the bowling centers listed in that article.

Fo sho.

Unless...they offer me free games....I'd suffer through the annoyance to save $20 because I'm cheap like that!!

My friends and I did just recently go to Arsenal Lanes http://www.arsenalbowl.com/ it's a pretty cool place, smaller and kind of old school but it was a fun place to go, they had all you can bowl for two hours on Sunday night 9-12 for $8 which was a good time. I don't know if I would want to bowl leagues there because there was virtually no oil on the lanes...but for a fun place to go out and have a couple of beers on a Sunday night it was damn fun.

I did bowl terrible there though, a combination of learning to throw a new ball on a hook and no oil wasn't good for me. but I still think the experience was a good one. And it helped me to get an idea of how to throw my ball on drier lanes.
