Remember Shakespear’s anyone? It was at 15th and platte. Tons of pool tables. They served me underage enough to the point they didnt card me anymore. Alas it was turned into a Natural Grocers as well.

The commercials are filled with the lanes that are all over here - Bowlero. Not a bad place at all, but not the bowling alley you’d pound 4 pitchers of Icehouse with a 7oz glass either.
My collegiate bowling experience, partially explained.Quote:

As a kid, a favorite birthday party was going to the bowling alley somewhere in North Simsbury followed by pizza.
In the, I've got my licence and sometimes I can borrow the car and go out with friends phase, cheap candlepin was where it was at. I'm pretty sure this was the place. https://www.ducksontheave.com/
In college, we had mandatory PE credits, I tested out of skiing to save the money, but yes...I took college bowling. Thursday afternoon in South Burlington. Those lanes were an underage drinking heaven. No fucks given pitchers all around. When was the last time you even saw a pitcher of beer?
I never bowled a lot. Where was the bowling in South Burlington? Shelburne Road somewhat across from the Sirloin Saloon? I think that was in Shelburne. In front of the old drive-in theater.Quote:

I too took bowling to satisfy the PE credit in undergrad. The university alley was indeed an underage drinking heaven. We'd show up to roll our few games for the week and report our scores and our buddy was working the bar - pitchers of High Life and Icehouse started flowing at noon every Wednesday that quarter. Life was good.Quote:

Right, Champlain Lanes. Looks like they closed in 2019. Rutvegas is a 2hr drive for me. Sparetime is too fancy. The few times I went as a kid it was usually out on North Ave. Ethan Allen Lanes I think. Next to where Hannaford is now.Quote:

I too took bowling for PE credit in college. It was the only PE "class" where you could smoke cigarettes and drink beer while "exercising".Quote:
