Hop off the Bar Stool and Check Out The Best Minneapolis/St. Paul Bowling Alleys Pt. 3

January 8, 2010 Posted by admin

Who doesn’t love bowling? This retro sport has had a resurgence in recent years with televised bowling championships and updated, modern bowling alleys with technologically advanced sound and lighting systems to make the experience fresh and new. If you’re looking for something to do with your friend beyond the usual night at the bar think about going bowling next weekend for a fun, involved activity that you can play with a drink in your hand or you can just chill and watch from the bar stool.

Flahertys Arden Bowl

Flahertys bills itself as a family friendly, down home Irish bowling alley and bar that has been serving the community for over 70 years. Family owned and operated since 1938, Flahertys is located in the Arden Hills community situated nicely between both towns and not far from 694. Also in close proximity to Bethel and Northwestern College, Flahertys is popular with the college crowd on my nights but they are Christian colleges so they are well behaved. Flahertys has a number of great deals like $6 beer pitchers and free party bus rides to Wild games on specific days. For a down home, family bowling atmosphere, check out Flahertys.

Medina Entertainment Center

If you find yourself in Medina, Minnesota for some god forsaken reason, your options for bowling are pretty limited so check out the Medina bowling alley which often hosts a number of great deals for parties and catering. Besides bowling they have a reception area for parties and even weddings, as well as hosting Robert’s Restaurant and Bar and bar and a concert venue. Medina Entertainment Center is obviously more than just bowling; it’s your all-in-one entertainment center for all your Medina fun

Elsie’s Bowling Center

Located in Northeast Minneapolis just across the river from the downtown Warehouse district, Elsie’s Bowling is one of the most popular bowling destinations for those in the close metro area, with 16 modern bowling lanes and the latest scoring and lighting technology.

With great food, drinks and late hours, Elsie’s is the place to go if you are in around downtown Minneapolis looking to get your bowl on.

Memory Lanes Bowl Inc

Owned by the same company as Elsie’s, expect nothing but the highest quality bowling experience from this south Minneapolis bowling destination. Catering to a younger, hipper crowd, Memory Lanes sets itself apart with its nightly sound and light shows that feature live music in the middle of the bowling action—the band’s play in the middle of the lanes in a elevated set. They have their nights broken into categories, from cosmic to flashback to indie rock and to punk bowling nights so you are sure to find the night that caters to your favorite sound. For south Minneapolis bowling with a spin, you can’t go wrong with Memory Lanes.

Skylanes Bowling

Reviewers have also singled out Skylanes for having some great, homemade bar food like the BBQ sandwich and sloppy joe. If you are in the crosstown area than Skylanes might be your best bet for a retro bowling experience.

Park Tavern Bowling

With a motto like “Eat. Drink. Bowl. Party” you know Park Tavern has got to be a great time. Billing itself not only as a bowling alley but an “entertainment center” Park Tavern is a great place for a party in St. Louis Park. Just west of downtown and Uptown, Park Tavern is close enough to the suburbs and the cities that it is a popular destination for all types—families, big groups, couples, you get the deal. With a great selection of other games, from pool, darks, sports and video games, park Tavern has a great selection of entertainment options for the whole family.

Bryant-Lake Bowl

Located in the heart of Uptown, Bryant-Lake Bowl is the unique venue that hosts not only bowling, but a theater and a restaurant bar. What makes Bryant-Lake Bowl special is that they don’t just serve the usual bar food, but take great pride in their unique and popular breakfasts and entrees, with most of their menu items built around locally sourced products. They have oneo f the most popular cheap date night specials on Monday night from 6 to 12am with two entrees, a bottle of wine and one round of bowling for $28 per couple. That is pretty unbeatable considering their entrees are usually $10 or more apiece and a game is around there as well. If you want a new bowling experience check out Bryant-Lake Bowl the next time you are in the Lake Street area.
