Park Tavern

The official practice facility for the BSM Bowling team, Park Tavern features 20 lanes, a small game room, and delicious eats. The lanes are professionally-certified, making Park Tavern a choice for the pros, as well as an all around fantastic place for anyone to throw a couple of games. The location is great as it’s very close to BSM, and if you can get there before 4PM on weekdays, one game is just $3.

Brunswick Zone Eden Prairie

This colossal 32 lane alley is not only a place to bowl on nice, polished lanes but also the site of a sizeable game room and a newly built laser tag arena. Brunswick Zone is the place to go for serious bowlers, as the lanes are professionally-certified and has a pro shop for all your equipment needs.The single game prices are a little steep, as much as $4.99 on weekends and one round of lazer tag runs as high as $6.99 a person, but the money will definitely be worth it.

Town Hall Lanes

Attention serious bowlers: Skylane of Minneapolis has shut its doors for good, but a new, infused restaurant and ten lane bowling alley has opened in its place. Located near the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, Town Hall Lanes truly gives the feel of a 1950s-bowling-renaissance alley. When it’s time to eat, Town Hall Lanes’ menu will definitely satisfy, especially with their homemade root beer. One game is $4.25, seven days a week, and there’s even weekly bowling leagues that can be joined.

Bryant Lake Bowl

Simply put, Bryant-Lake Bowl is more than just a bowling alley; it’s a restaurant, music venue, and a theatre. Located in Uptown Minneapolis, this is probably as far away from a pro bowler’s haven as an alley can get, but anyone who’s looking for a good time will definitely enjoy this twelve lane party venue. And when a bowler needs to refuel there are some great food choices such as waffles in the morning and nachos late at night. One game of bowling is $4 Sunday through Thursday and only 50 cents more on the weekends.

Pinstripes

Located in the heart of Edina, Pinstripes, a 16 lane party spot, might have the greatest deal on this list: after 8PM Sunday-Thursday, it costs $3 for a game of bowling, as well as $5 for an oven-hot pizza. Each lane has its own three person couch, and there’s also a bar/restaurant area that churns out delicious food, so it’s no surprise that Pinstripes is packed all the time. Pinstripes is not a terrific place for the pros due to the lanes not being professionally-certified and no pro shop, but hey, they give away a free pair of socks with shoe rental.
