Jillian's Hi-Life Lanes

This retro bowling alley combines good, clean fun with swanky cocktail culture. Vintage bowling posters and kidney bean-shaped, leopard-print rug inlays set the mood. Slide into perky blue and red curved booths at one of the half dozen lanes and rock out to music videos on multiple screens as you get ready to roll your neon pink, electric blue, or cow print ball down the lane. The adjacent bar, where spirits share shelf space with bowling pins, morphs into a full-fledged dance club on Friday and Saturday nights. Downstairs, tweens play Skee Ball for stuffed Simpsons dolls in the arcade while mom and dad down Cadillac martinis in the billiards lounge. Throughout, Jillian’s menu of bar food and American favorites keeps the blood sugar up. Order the 9-Ball Combo of buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks, and the like, and you may just be greased up enough to get that lucky strike.
