When most people think about food offerings inside of bowling alleys, chances are they are not thinking about things like poke bowls and pork belly ramen from a James Beard award-winning chef. And while Bowl Incline has this offering in Sam Choy’s Ohana Diner, their new offering, Lane 17 Lounge, doubles down on the elevated food and beverage options to offer up yet another unique dining experience.
Born from an idea to extend their summertime patio in the winter months, the slightly remodeled second floor space now includes completely different menu and drink offerings to go along with a secluded dining experience that drowns out the sounds and goings-on from the rest of the bowling alley action.
“In the winter, it’s kind of our solution for the people that really love to come in the summer and enjoy the patio and the food, but not have the loud noise,” said Director of Fun (a.k.a. General Manager) Alison Hollman. “We didn’t want to just be serving the same food up here. We serve the same food outside in the summer, but we kind of feel like this space deserves its own.”
