What People Are Saying About Fireside Bowl

The Music – The all-ages bowling alley transforms some nights from fun afternoon activity to banging rock club. Once the host to triple and quadruple bills of underground punk, ska, metal and hardcore acts, the roster now plays more like an indie festival. Underground bands on their first tours often hit the DIY-friendly Fireside.

This place use to be great
by LumbardRocks at Citysearch
This place use to book all the great indi punk, ska, metal and hiphop acts the first time they would roll through town. Now it's just a dirty, smelly bowling alley with a cheap bar.
I wish they would change it back to the way it use to be.....Don't know what you've got till it's gone.
- Pros: Its was once a famous punk rock venue
- Cons: Now its just a bowling alley

RUDE!

These bartenders are extremely rude, I will not be going back. Its gross as well, pretty run down. Its a shame too because Anti-Flag played there back in the day.
