The Gutter

Brought to us by the boys behind game-crazy hang Barcade, you’re not going to find any disco bowling here: no flashing laser lights, no house music, definitely no modern flatscreens showing scores. No, if anything this looks more like disco-era bowling, meaning it appears to have risen straight out of 1973. The décor—strictly rec room—is pretty bare-bones: think old brick walls, mismatched lamps, a couple of vintage TV sets, and equipment brought back from some old alley in the Midwest. Don't expect to be getting your game on in a cavernous complex: there are only eight lanes (and reserving is out of the question for now), but a full bar overlooks them so the actual bowling may very well become an afterthought.
