The Garden Bowl has been around for nearly 100 years and is still going strong. From the dankly lit bar to the glow of the neon over the lanes, this is the perfect spot to tip a few beers and throw a few balls. The vibe is edgy, yet laid back. A light wallet will get you a lot here. On weeknights, it's an easy three games and three beers PLUS a slice of pizza for about $25! And that includes a nice tip for the friendly and fun bar staff.

The alley is extremely clean and the wood is very nice. It looks like they get their wood from IKEA it's so pristine (sans allen wrenches). The scoring screens are all touch screen and easy to use. Plus, the animations between frames are hi-larious. The lanes are in fine working order, the pins rarely need a reset.
