01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Garden Bowl opened on August 1, 1913. On 'Rock-N-Bowl' nights the lights go off for glow-in-the-dark lanes, mirror balls, smoke and a live DJ, and the bar stays open until 2am Tuesday through Saturday. It shares the building with the Majestic Theatre, Magic Stick and Sgt. Pepperoni's pizzeria, and offers adult party packages.
