    I'd give North Bowl 5 stars if it wasn't for some of their employees.  Our waitress was fantastic, and so were some of the servers/bussers, but the guy behind the counter was so terrible that I almost left, even though we had more than ten people with us.    Honestly, I'm just not into feeling bad about myself for not knowing exactly how things work.  If it's cash only, and I hand you my credit card, don't say, "First of all, we only take cash" in the snottiest voice you can muster.  If I ask how much it is a person, don't say, "I don't know." I mean, come on. Also, after asking if some of our friends could pay separately, don't say no but then let the people behind us do it.  We are there to use your service, and buy food and drinks (which we got a TON of of).  Sorry if that puts you out.  This was all after I had called a few days before and I was told that I couldn't make a reservation, and then people there obviously had them.  

    It's just a shame, because it's a cool spot with great food and half the staff or more is totally lovely.  I just happened to have a few crappy experiences which put a damper on what should have been a good night.   I wouldn't go there again with more than one or two other people.

    I really, really love this place. Great bowling, great drinks, great tater tots, great mac & cheese, great games upstairs, great everything! Sometimes the service can be itchingly slow, but I'm usually having too much fun to care.

    I had high expectations for North Bowl, and found it to be lacking, especially on the food front. One of the reasons we went was for the tater tots, which were completely underwhelming. I am from Minneapolis, a city that delights in crispy, delicious, fried potato fare, and found the tots at North Bowl to be undercooked, lacking exterior crispiness, and just plain disappointing. If you want good tots in this city, go to Tattooed Mom. The bar is nice for hanging out, but the bowling lane seating is a bit cramped and it is difficult to locate/get the attention of your server. There are loads of other fun things to do and tasty food to eat in the city, thus we won't be going back.

    North Bowl seems like a fun spot but I've been disappointed. The music system was apparently broken and the music kept cutting in and out, startling everyone each time it came blasting back on for a few seconds before it went out again. Annoying. The pool table was broken and by the time it was fixed it was our turn to bowl so we just paid $2 to watch a guy struggle with the pockets and then the pinball machine ate our remaining quarters. I stood at the bar for 15 minutes being ignored by the bartender and the waitress that came to our lane didn't know what kind of beer any of the seasonal special beers were and I ended up with an IPA, which I hate. Our lane broke so many times and when we asked about it we just got yelled at because apparently the mechanic was already working on it. Should have saved the $50 we spent TRYING to drink, bowl and play games.

    Had our son's college grad party at NB last night and it was an unqualified success. We had about 45 family/friends and had the top floor back area (4 private lanes) reserved. The staff was prepared, attentive and friendly. We opted for the valet parking and that was a real bonus for our guests, especially on a Friday night. The food was plentiful, and delicious. Great beer and drink selection and the bar staff was top notch. And, the bowling (and arcade games, pinball, billiards, & air hockey) was obviously a blast with everyone having a super time. The price we paid was very fair and our expectations were exceeded. I would HIGHLY recommend NB for any party you're planning to have. It will definitely be a hit.

    My sister, nephew, and I came here thanks to Amazon Local, and boy did we have fun! It wasn't at all crowded when we got there, so we had no problem getting a lane. According to the reviews, they have some really good tater tots, and they did not disappoint. We also had the chicken cutlets, the sliders (with pizza tots), and dessert. Let me tell you something, the food was AWESOME! Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious! Afterward, we went upstairs and played a game of pool. Like before, the space was nearly empty, so we had no problem playing anything. My sister was up here to visit, and today was her last day. I'm so glad I was able to bring her out here for one last night of fun. Thanks, North Bowl! She may not be visiting again for a while, but I'll definitely be back!

    Our lane was problematic all night with several malfunctions in the equipment.  We order 3 pitchers of yards pale ale and they did not tell us this was $8 dollars more than there other beers!  So they charged us $20 a pitcher instead of $12 and when we confront the waitress she said, "Oh I didn't think price matter to you".  What are we made of money?  It would have been nice to know.  We just paid our ridiculous bill and left.

    I had a wonderful evening out at a friends birthday party last night. The bartender named Katelyn is the truth ! she made the best drinks I had tasted in a long while . she created some of the drinks on the awesome menu. They had so many delicious items on the menu, I tried a few and will be back for more. The  Rabbit flautas Special was  Absolutely  amazing .A  Salmon burger on an English muffin with  red cabbage slaw and a spiced mayo a keeper. Funnel cake French fries 2 orders  so much fun .I will be back very soon to try more of the well balance taste of the North bowl which give 5 star restaurants something to think about!!!! I didn't bowl  but my friends did and had a blast the games where fun and it was so much space to talk and have a great time with friends. highly recommend with reservations

    Had an amazing time here with some friends.  Bowling is awesome.  Why would you not go here?  They have great lanes and great balls!

    All I know of their menu is delicious tater tots, but I'm sure they have other non-tot food.

    The staff is super friendly and a lot of fun.  They make the place better, and it didn't even need to be better.  The only one whose name I remember was Victoria, and she was super.  The guy at the door was really chill, too.

    Go to North Bowl already!

    I've been here twice now and still haven't gotten to actually bowl.  The fact that I still gave them 4 stars should really say a lot about the experience.  The solution is obviously to make reservations, but I hear even then the waiting is a bit out of control.

    Both times we had a blast just drinking, hanging out and playing games.  The food is awesome.  Great atmosphere and a great place to people watch.  Maybe one of these days I'll actually bowl.

    North bowl is the perfect place to go if you have friends come and visit.  Who doesn't like bowling and who doesn't especially like drinking while bowling.  It's a cool spot with good service.  I live down the street and it's not a place I frequent, but when I do go I always have a good time.  They also usually have some good drink specials, and fattening food that will soak up any alcohol.

    One of my favorite places to hang out in philly. The atmosphere is really cool, the music is good, the bowling is awesome, the food is really really good, and there is plenty to do while you wait to bowl.

    PROS:
    -good atmosphere
    - great service
    - good food (typical bar finger foods)

    CONS:
    -it is always crowded here. But that's because it's so awesome
    - for some reason the bathrooms here are consistently smelly, no matter when I go, it's always super stinky
    -they only take cash, but there is an ATM on premises

    TIPS:
    -put in for a lane as soon as you get there. This place packs out fast, there arent a lot of lanes, and unless you want to wait all night to bowl, you should reserve a lane immediately.
    - there is a game floor, a photo booth, a lounge area and a bar, so while you are waiting for a lane there are plenty of fun things to do
    - if you or anyone in your party is under the age of 21, its best to go BEFORE 9pm. They do card and you won't be allowed in.
    - this isnt a place you want to do solo. This a a great spot to bring your pals or your boo.
    - get...the...tater tots. That is all.

    They fixed the air hockey table. Hurray. And it's a pretty good one at that. Aside from that, the bartenders are pretty friendly and accommodating, and it's one of few places where the customers come in a nice variety of shades.

    What a great place to meet up for food, drink, and some fun filled competition.  Even though you may wait for a drink at times, or its crowded(not always), and your waiting for a lane, the reason is simply because it is one of the coolest spots in Northern Liberties.  Our company reserved the lounge upstairs for our private Christmas party where everyone could enjoy a drink together at the bar, along with a buffet of food, 4 bowling lanes, arcade games, pool table, and a few other options.  So, if you are looking for a casual place that you can chill on a couch with an ice cold beer, or even take your first date, then North Bowl would be a great choice.  Remember, it's a bowling alley, not a private club or restaurant bar, but a place that you can expect to unwind, and even play a game with a friend.  Tina'sTwoSense.

    Best bowling option in the city, if you don't mind getting up to Northern Liberties.  While I wouldn't go for the food, I do love their tater tots (even though they probably make a killing on them). They've got two good bars with decent drink options at relatively low prices. The loungey area upstairs is nice for when you're waiting on your lane, and it comes complete with air hockey, bubble hockey and some good video game options (Big buck hunter!).

    My only complaint is probably the crowds, hopefully they keep up the good work with the upcoming South Philly location.

    North Bowl is just straight up fun. It's got a retro feel to it and it is definitely a great place to kick back with some friends.  I've bowled here many times and never had to wait for a lane. The lanes are pretty top notch compared to some of the shady bowling alleys I've been to. There is plenty of space to sit down and eat/drink while bowling and this place is great for large groups as it is very open and never seems crowded.   While I typically come here to bowl they also have plenty of games (pool, air hockey, etc...) upstairs with more lounge and bar seating. I've also come here  to grab some wings and TOTS and watch a Phillies game. Their food, especially their TOTS, is delicious. I recommend the Crabby TOTS if you're a fan of the Chickie-N-Pete's Crab fries. I've tried the others but the Crabby TOTS are definitely my favorite and what sometimes brings me to North Bowl. They have a great selection of beers as well and their prices are reasonable. There is a bar downstairs and upstairs making the drink service very fast.  The staff is friendly and attentive.  I highly recommend this place over Lucky Strikes. It's less pretentious and more my speed for sure. I'll be back soon for my TOTS and bowling fix.
    Note- Sundays and Wednesdays they run a special on bowling and TOTS.

    We had a great time here!  We grabbed a Living Social coupon for two games and tater tots... we didn't make a reservation early enough and ended up waiting FOREVER for a lane.  HOWEVER- we passed the time drinking surprisingly delicious cocktails in both the nifty bars, and then ordered vegetarian buffalo wings (they had vegetarian buffalo wings!!!).  We ended up getting the lane before the wings came, and the waitress found us and brought them to us.  Tipsy bowling is a great idea, and I can't wait to do it again, especially on one of their discount nights!

    Fun,exciting & out going atmosphere!

    Celebrated my husbands 35th B-day party here had a group of about 20- 22 family & friends.  We had a buffet style layout and unlimited call bar drinks for 2hrs.  The Baja fish tacos were excellent among other things.  I reserved 3 lanes and in my opinion space was reasonable,  Everyone had lots of fun & I was happy this place allowed me to bring in an adult themed cake, that BTW everyone LOVED!!! It was definitely a party to remember.

    But.........There is a but, My waitress was nice & pleasant but extremely slow, all night it was like where is she???  And not to mention we had someone try and crash our party, thanks Phil!
    Overall we had a great time!!! Definitely recommend and we'll be back.

    One word: Expensive

    I've been to North Bowl four or five times during my two years in Philly and I've always had a good time. The beer and food are decent and the bowling is fun. It's always got a good crowd - reservations are strongly recommended. In short, you'll have a fun night.

    However, the price to bowl is pretty steep. If you're here for a few hours, be prepared to pay $30-40 a person. Plus, the staff at the front desk aren't too friendly.

    Funky, cool and you feel right at home no matter what your style. Lan

    Why I love this place:

    -DJ with funky music mixes, and its cranked up

    -Although it's "family friendly" at most hours, there are no kids running around.  i.e. you could bring your nephews and niece and they'll tend to behave without you getting looks from everyone else next to you

    -cheap pitchers of beer

    -the staff are young, tattooed and friendly. You know you're not at the corporate Lucky Strike made for corporate parties, rhis is a one off place

    -the local leagues are fun...i was here watching a guy bowl a perfect game (the first one here to do so)...only he left 1 pin standing on the last frame.  The whole place stopped playing to watch him and cheer on with shots. Its that kind of vibe.

    -3 strikes in a row=free shot of wildnturkey!

    Foodwise, they've become known for their tatertots. They're good, but not a gourmet interpretation of what you might expect.  They're exactly what you remember mom's tasting like right out of the toaster, but with a slew lf topping options.  Pulled pork sandwich has just the right tang and something you want to regularly order

    Beer specials are always running and its relatively vheap to apend the night here with friends without breaking the bank

    The cons:
    Tends to get crowded and when the weather is bad (esp snow days), the wait can run into the hours
    -the upstairs lanes tend to "bounce"?, so if you've mastered the art of throwing down a spinner, the ball is going to react differently

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!

    You've basically got a hip bowling alley, arcade, and bar/lounge (with food) all in one place.  What more could you ask for?

    Two words: Tater.  Tots.  Went here for the first time last night, and their garlic tater tots were amazing!  They have good beer on tap, too.  Wish I could have had a sampler tots plate or something (not that they do that...but it would be great if they did...hint hint).  We also had the duck sliders, which were ok...nothing special, but decent.  Wish they hadn't put salt on the salad that came w/ it, though...

    Ok, aside from the food, the ambiance is good.  Definitely lively, and gets louder as the night goes on.  Fair warning, if you're there on a weekend, get there early!  I got there at 6:30pm and they said it would be about 2-2 1/2 hours before we could get a lane.  Sure enough, about two hours later, we got our lane.  In the meantime, we got to shoot a game of pool (though there can be a bit of a line for those as well), and play on the pinball machines.  One round of bowling went by fast (for two people), and I wish we could have had another round...but it is a little pricey.  About $20 for a round plus shoe rentals.  Still a good night, nonetheless.  I'd be interested to see what the place is like during the day.

    Oh, and the pictures on the wall from The Big Lebowski are a definite plus.  :)

    I have been hitting up this spot ever since it opened a little over 5 years ago.  A bowling alley may seem like a corny spot to go and grab some food & drinks however this place breaks the mold.  The best way to describe it, an upscale loungy bowling alley with plenty of activities to keep you busy if you happen to have to have to wait for a lane.  With 2 full bars (upstairs is large & rounded, my personal preference bc you can overlook 8 of the 16 downstairs lanes, great for people watching) there are pool tables, fooseball, air hockey, dome hockey, as well as several other arcade games.  The music is almost always on point, frequent live DJs which result in the occasional dance party (or attractive servers hoola hooping (Vicki)).
     The staff has always been super friendly as well as great eye candy!  Not only is there a great liquor and beer selection, the food is better than one would expect.  A Smörgåsbord of tater tots (The "Wake 'n' Bake") are to die for.  Great snack food to fill one's liquored up stomach!  Sliders...thumbs up, fish tacos...delicious (i prefer the fish fried, of course I'm American)!  
     Whenever I have friends in from out of town they always ask me to take them there...it's a great spot to start your night off, and odds are your night will also end here.

    Love it! This is such a good time in No Libs. BUT. Get there early on the weekends or prepare to wait forevs!!!

    First, the tots are fun. Get some, any of them and share them while bowling. Also, a pitcher of lager couldn't hurt.

    Tip- If you forget your socks, they sell them for like 2 bucks. And. They are fun little ankle socks that make you look like you are wearing shoes.

    Went here a couple weekends ago for my birthday.  Got there at 6:30, was told the wait would be 2 1/2 hours.  9:00 on the dot, the buzzer rang.  They don't lie about the wait times which is great, but still, a 2 1/2 hour wait?  It was a Saturday night, though, so I guess I should have known what to expect.

    Luckily I was waiting for about 5 or 6 people to filter in so we grabbed a table and ordered tater tot apps to munch on and some booze.  By the time everyone got there, had a couple rounds of drinks, and ate, it was nearly time to start bowling so the wait time does go by quick.    Unfortunately, the upstairs private lanes with the arcade was closed for a catered party (which, by the way, looks like a lot of fun and totally worth it).  But I'm assuming that any other day, you'd be able to play games in the arcade while you wait.

    As far as the food, it was good, nothing spectacular.  I ordered a burger for the entree I think.  The wide variety of tater tots and mac 'n' cheese is a nice touch and they had some interesting things for a bowling alley on the menu like hummus and quesadillas.

    As far as the bowling lanes go, I like that you can keep your server and she'll bring you drinks while you bowl so you don't have to keep getting up and going to the bar.  It does seem a little cramped (there's not that many lanes), but the vibe is still really chill.  The man at the front desk was nice because we originally ordered 1 game of bowling but realized we wanted to play more so I asked him if we could just do another game and he said that was fine.  Pretty expensive (I think like $60 for the first game and $30 or $40 for the second?) but the bar tab was surprisingly low for 7 people all drinking liquor.  The one mixed drink was really delicious and had Malibu, tequila, and Redbull in it and I'd definitely order it again.

    A little pricey for bowling but you pay for the atmosphere and the service.  I would suggest getting a catered party for a large group of people cause it seems like they hook you up pretty nice.

    I came here for some bowling and appetizers with friends recently. Very cool vibe with a large lounge area upstairs that would be great to rent out for an event.

    Apparently on weekends it gets extremely packed, but around eight on a Wednesday night it wasn't bad at all.

    The food was epic. The South Philly Mac N Cheese, well, let's just say I have thought about it probably every day for the past week.  Steak, sautéed onions and a whole lotta American cheese over macaroni. Food coma.

    Drinks are a little pricey, but it's a fun place. After you're done bowling, head upstairs to the lounge area for some pool and favorite pastimes (who doesn't appreciate Air Hockey?!). Good stuff.

    Two words: Tater Tots.  Anyplace that serves tots and beer is a winner in my book.

    North Bowl has an awesome vibe, and is a great place for private parties (the upstairs is a perfect party space).

    Depending on when you go, the wait can get outrageous... we waited 2 hours for a lane.  But, tis the season.  And we used our LivingSocial deal... so we didn't really mind (especially since the buzzer works next door at Standard Tap).  Apparently its less crowded in the summertime.

    We had several issues with our ball return, which was suuuper annoying (especially when your lucky ball gets stuck!) but the staff was very quick to fix this each time it happened, and the manager came over and offered us a free pitcher of beer for our inconvenience.  High five!

    Definitely worth a visit, but maybe avoid weekends and holiday times.

    North Bowl has great appeal at the entrance but there is room to improve the service. There was easy access to the downstairs bar as you walk in and open space to gather with friends - very helpful for our group who all came separate.  There was also a waitress walking around asking for drink orders, and she was great!  Then, as we moved upstairs to bowl the service started going down hill.

    I went with a group of 12 friends, so it  was a bit confusing as to why we were not given a waitress at our 2 lanes that we rented.  Honestly though, this was not a problem... That is until I realized the bar waits exceeding 20 minutes - it was to the point where we had to leave the bar so we could bowl our turn.  So at some point I decided that it would be easier and less stressful for me to walk down stairs for a drink.  And THANK GOD I did this.  Down stairs bar tenders and servers were great - responsive and fast.  However, this resulted in a slow bowling experience and our 2nd game was cut short.  

    I should also add - the tater-tots are a total throw back to the ones we would get with a grade school lunch.  So if you were into tater-tots in grade school you will like them at North bowl - most people I know loved tater-tot days in grade school :).

    Since I didn't try the tater tots I'll have to resort to just reviewing the bowling alley.

    A group of 12 of us were searching for a place to bowl on Friday night, and with Lucky Strike's insane price to reserve lanes ($170 each?!) and the fear that it would be too crowded we headed to North Bowl.

    The interior is very nice and we had no problem getting two lanes after work on a Friday night (though 12 on two lanes is a bit tight seating-wise). I'd categorize the mojito I had somewhere between nothing to write home about and just plain bad, but the lemonade-vodka drink and the pomegranate cosmo my friends got looked mighty tasty. Food-wise the "baker" tots (cheddar, bacon, sour cream, and scallions) and asian chicken wings smelled and looked delicious, but again I can't vouch. Mazel tots! Funny.

    Games are $5.95 plus $4 for shoes, which is pretty reasonable. I play on a sanctioned league in Wynnewood, and bowling on lane #1 made me glad I didn't do league bowling here because a) it's definitely on a slight slant to the right, so compensate! and b) the sweep bar knocked down pins periodically through two games on both lanes #1 and #2, which is nice if you suck but kind of annoying for rule followers like myself.

    The staff as a whole weren't very friendly or helpful, but I will say that our server was continually clearing our plates and getting us new drinks at the lane, which was pretty nice. Overall the fact that the prices are good and the layout is cool makes me enjoy North Bowl, and I'm sure I'll be back.

    Came here with my sons Aunts and three kids under 10 as well as my 4 year old on a Saturday night.

    45 min wait. CASH ONLY for the lanes, which i found very ODD. They do take cards upstairs at the bar and for food. (*shrug* whatever...)

    We ordered the Spanish tots, The Pretzel Bites, the Funnel Cakes and the Brocolli and Cheddar Mac. Very Very good!! :)

    They say that the place is kid friendly, but we had a bit of a hard time with the wait staff and other patrons being understanding of the fact that it does take us a while to round up 4 kids under 10 who are also very cranky.

    I would definitely come back again, earlier in the day with the kids, but i would love to have some adult friends all get together so that I can actually experience the bar which seemed to have some good drinks!

    Yay North Bowl! Two best parts: margaritas and tater tots. Yum. Bowling's not bad either. If you plan on bowling, definitely bring cash. You can use cards for food & drink, but not for bowling which is a little annoying. They get REALLY crowded on weekends, and there's usually a wait, but there's a decent amount of room at the bar if you just want to hang out. They have a photo booth and a vending machine that sells games and moustaches. It's a little hipster-y at times, but every time I've been here I've had a lot of fun. Just be prepared to deal with crowds and definitely bring cash.

    And seriously: MARGARITAS AND TATER TOTS. What more can you ask for?

    I've always wanted to try this place out.  I love bowling but hate the high prices and tacky crowds that these new fancy bowling alleys usually come with.  So last night while the BF and I were stumbling home, he suggested that we head here tonight to play a few games.  It was a terrific idea.

    We had no idea when we got there but on Sundays (and Wednesdays) after 9pm, all games are $3 per person per game, along with $3 cans of Sly Fox or Blue Moon.  Combined with the funky decor and the low key crowd, North Bowl makes for a perfectly enjoyable Sunday night.  In addition, the service is laid back and pleasant, and overall I had a great time here.  

    All that said, this seems like the place I would avoid at all costs on a weekend, but during the week or on Sunday nights, this is a great place to swing by to blow off some steam with your friends or a date with a few games of bowling over cheap, delicious beer.

    Went here for my date's birthday and this is the nicest/hippest bowling alley I have ever been to.  I've never been to one as awesome as this in NY and with a reasonable price.  

    Drink specials, bowling specials, clean lanes.  I loved it.

    They had a good variety of beers and pitchers for cheap.

    There were a variety of tater tots and the pretzel bites were good (anything is good with a cup of cheese)

    There was this smell in the corner where it just smelled like toilets and yes we were close to the bathroom but the bathroom itself didn't smell it was just a stench coming from the last couple seats. It was kind of gross and we made a joke out of it. -1 star.

    But then this guy next to us playing with his girlfriend ended up ripping his pants and thank god he was wearing boxers because I didn't want to see his goodies. +1 star.

    Oh and the lanes kept running really slow so we had to switch lanes, it would take forever to just get the new pins up. -1 star.

    Also a friend got a turkey, so they gave a free shot of wild turkey for it...totally awesome.

    And I scored a 151. that's one of my highest scores everrrrrr. -=proud=-

    North Bowl is funky and it's fun.  You feel cool when you're in there.  It's like the coolness gets into your vertebrae.

    Maybe it's the drinks?  They have a small draft list that features some craft and of course, Hi Life.  They have a short but nicely priced bourbon list.  Try the Bulleit, neat of course.

    I highly recommend checking out the tots.  It won't be difficult.  At some point during your game, the overwhelming smell of wafting garlic will take over your senses.  At that point, resistance is futile.

    You can always stow away upstairs for a variety of other fun games like pool, air hockey and foozball.  Don't worry, there is a bar up there too.

    Finally, the ambiance created between the music and the pixelated movie stills on the wall just seals the deal on this establishment.

    Who doesn't love North Bowl?
    They have everything you love and hate to admit that you love: Bowling of course, air hockey, a bar, yummy food (tots!), and a classic photo booth.

    Their Super Yummy Tots far surpass your average grade school cafeteria food. I love the Crabby Tots (old bay and cheese!) and the Spanish Tots although sometimes the Traditional Tots are all you need. They often have draft specials and they have TVs around the bar area if you want to watch some sports in between games of bowling. The air hockey and lounge area overlooks the lanes and gives you something to do while you are waiting for a lane to open up (which happens often during peak times).

    If you are on a budget they offer several discounted nights too so check out their website for specials!

    North Bowl is retro styley, nice n clean, and yeah, pretty crowded on a Friday night. What's handy about having hobbies that pair well with booze is that there's booze... for the waiting. For real, the wait was not too bad at all on this recent visit. It just flew by, glug glug.

    Our blue haired server was a doll and kept mama from ever experiencing a moment of bowling-induced thirst. In addition, I should add, for the non-beer drinkers of the land, that my sister in law kept remarking about how good her white wine was, happily surprised. So there's that for you fancy pantses who like to roll with a crisp glass of white wine.

    See here- so, according to my research, I'm ready to announce that being supplied with drinks and tater tots, dished up every whicha way, while bowling up a storm with some pals, is the stuff of fun. For that groundbreaking analysis, to you I say, "You're welcome," in advance, even if what you actually yelled was, "No duh!"

    I'm a freelancing, self-employed fancy pants gal, but I moonlight as an arts and crafts teacher because my martha outlet just needs a dose of mod podge now and then. My boss at the arts and crafts ranch is swell. So swell she invited us to a holiday party at the north bowl.

    I used to bowl when I worked in pharma on a league. I loved it. I kinda grew up in a bowling alley. My mother played on a ladies league and they had a babysitter room where I could peek out and hear the crashing of pins and the triumphant peals of joy from my mother. Then one of my friends from the babysitting room used to always have bowling parties. Which imho were always better than rollerskating. I suck at rollerskating something horrid. Which is tragic because I would love to be a roller girl in my spare time.

    SO back to the bowl. It was fun. A great place for coworkers to further make fun of each other. Especially our boss. We had a ton of the varieties of tots. Oh these tots make sonics tots look like...well sonics tots. So delicious. Try the breakfast ones with the fried egg on top....soooo yum.

    Then after a good hearty scrubbing of the hands we had our staff meeting and dinner. For a group of ten or so where several were vegetarians and or picky the menu suited everyone. B, M and I shared the buffalo mac and cheese which had us all trying to poke the other with a fork to share.

    It was a fun time and I look forward to going back. What was even more fun was the walk back to the El, with my quasi-coworkers. It was really just a great night!
