The Scene – Originally a Schlitz house built in 1922, Southport Lanes is a bar and grill with four bowling alleys (where pin boys still do the setting) and a billiard room with six sleek, regulation-size tables.

Great pool room with super high ceilings, large windows, and funky old chandeliers.
by innachka2000
We had to come here because our usual pool joint was booked and what a pleasant surprise. The tables are well maintained. The cues are good enough. The pool room is AMAZING with super high ceilings, large windows that open up for a great breeze on a warm night, and funky old chandeliers. Lots of people but not crowned and the price was right on the money. We will definitely start coming here more often.
- Pros: Fantastic space for shooting pool
- Cons: None that I noticed

Have a few beers and shoot pool on a full size table not a coin operated mini table.
After than bowl on the same alley your dad did (if he went to Lane)
