We were in our fourth frame of the first game, when suddenly the lights went out and the bowling pins began to glow with a light blue haze. Dance lights came on and scanned across the lanes. Welcome to rock and bowl. This place has a full bar with various taps and plenty of room for sitting after you play. The lanes are very sleek, with stools, rather than the typical plastic seats. The display screen is high-tech and has cool stats, like the speed of your last roll. Before you get a lane, you have to put a coin in a machine and put your names in and indicate whether or not you need shoes. Lanes are paid by the hour ($20), not the game. It's a slightly steep price, but well worth it for the quality of the lanes.

Otherwise known as "Rock 'N' Bowl," this Logan Square alley offers the added spin of music, light shows and more.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

When to Go

Weekly leagues and huge crowds on weekend nights keep this spot packed (though that's part of its high-energy charm); try a late weeknight for less company.
