Coolest bowling spot in Detroit. Open since 1913! Old school style ,great music, superb staff and a well stocked bar. My son and stopped in for some Friday afternoon day drinking and had a good time talking and soaking in the atmosphere. Been here many times over the years and will continue to do so as long as they don't go changing things.

Old school vibes because they are real. Decent lanes, great staff and fairly modern scoring and entertainment systems. My first choice for bowling in Detroit. Great place to be on Thanksgiving for the Detroit parade. Warning: don't leave anything valuable in your vehicle regardless of where you park.
