Bowling Alley activities in New York City

  1. A

    Bowlmor Lanes

    Among retro-crazed New Yorkers, a night of bowling qualifies as quite a hoot. Maybe it’s the shoes, or all the pitchers of beer. Open since 1938, Bowlmor is Manhattan’s go-to-lanes for stars, bar mitzvah parties and beer-slugging NYU students. After 9pm Monday, it goes DJ-blasting glow-in-the-dark, with unlimited bowling for $24 including shoe rental (age 21 and up).

    Melody Lanes

    Among retro-crazed New Yorkers, a night of bowling qualifies as quite a hoot. Maybe it’s the shoes, or all the pitchers of beer. If a lane and a pitcher of beer’s all you need, Melody suits just fine. Frequent specials (like $20 per person ‘all-you-can-bowl’ nights) sweeten the deal.

    Gutter

    It’s hip, cheap and old school, with eight quickly filled vintage lanes.

    300 New York

    Among retro-crazed New Yorkers, a night of bowling qualifies as quite a hoot. Maybe it’s the shoes, or all the pitchers of beer. The 300 goes for martinis and disco nights Thursday through Sunday. A new video arcade allows further youthful regression.

    Leisure Time Bowling Center

    Among retro-crazed New Yorkers, a night of bowling qualifies as quite a hoot. Maybe it’s the shoes, or all the pitchers of beer. Amid Port Authority’s bus frenzy are 30 lanes for $50 to $75 per hour, depending on the time of day.

    Lucky Strike

    One of the world’s few bowling alleys with a dress code, Lucky Strike has pricey drinks, plush lounge fittings and an expensively dressed crowd – which makes the whole experience more akin to a nightclub than a bowling alley.
