Harvest Park Bowl

Really like this place for a local spot to meet up with friends and hang out. We went there for the Rock and Bowl (starts at 10:30pm) on Saturday night. I made reservations beforehand for 2 lanes. You could probably walk up but I wanted to be sure since we had a little crowd coming to meet us.

Bar area was packed with locals and the karaoke started. After listening to someone whale on the mic we decided to get a few pitchers and wait for our Rock and Bowl to start.

They are really strict on the over 21 rules. To order the pitcher each person in our group had to show IDs. I was probably older than the entire bar but okay! Still flattered nonetheless.

We finally get to check in to R&B and then our IDs are check again and license run through a machine, then an Over 21 wrist band comes on. Wow, I think I am at a club again! lol! It is $15 for all you can bowl for 3 hours (10:30pm-1:30am), shoe rental included.

It is a fun place, although they don't let you bring pitchers to the lanes. What we had to do was go to the bar each time and order separate glasses of beer. It became difficult ordering for our group of 10, we needed those starbucks drink holders! lol!

The lights go down and the music videos come out. Some old videos and some new ones. I am not a video watching person so fun to see that stuff.  Fun to watch everyone starting out a "league" bowler but after a few drinks bowling into the gutter.  

Will definitely go back although I am not ever getting the pizza there again. I had major food poisoning the next day. I thought it was the alcohol but I only had 2 beers total. I drink more at a baseball game. Really weird. There were two of us that had the pizza and got sick the next day.

Otherwise, a fun place.

Brentwood (Harvest Park Bowling) Rocks! It begins at 10:30pm on Saturday nights. They turn down the regular lights, bring down the big screens and turn on the light/music show. For $15 a person, you get shoes and can bowl as many games as you want for 3 hours.

We showed up without reservations. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and explained how it worked. He assigned us a lane and we were able to check in smoothly.

We found out that they do not allow pitchers of beer if you are on a lane, due to the lights being low and so many minors being around.  I think that's a classy, responsible move. The bar is just a few steps away, so it's pretty easy to go back and get another round.  There was a steady stream of karaoke tunes and pool games in the bar. It feels like one of those happy little dives where everyone knows your name.

There was a good variety of music, which fit the eclectic crowd in attendance perfectly.  As the night went on and peoples games seemed to be getting worse, the party atmosphere kicked in.  Some of the lanes just kept to themselves. Either way, we were all having a good time.

So, if bowling like a dork in the dark with a ton of friendly strangers sounds like fun - check out Brentwood Rocks!

best place to get a 5 star kamikaze!! - right roz??!!
