Highland Park Bowl

Few places manage to nail the combination of drinking and bowling quite like Highland Park Bowl. Nestled in a historic building on Figueroa Street that dates back to the 1920s, this spot has been transformed into something truly special—a retro steampunk wonderland that feels like stepping into another era while still being unmistakably cool.

The drinks here are crafted with care, with Old Fashioneds that hit all the right notes. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, entertaining visitors from out of town, or just looking for something different to do with a big group of friends, the atmosphere makes every occasion feel a bit more special. The vintage lanes and moody lighting create an ambiance you won’t find at your typical bowling alley.

One thing to keep in mind: if bowling is on your agenda, make sure to reserve a lane ahead of time. These lanes book up fast, especially on weekends. Once you’ve worked up an appetite knocking down pins, head upstairs where wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas await. It’s the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time, bouncing between rolls, cocktails, and slices.

Highland Park Bowl proves that some combinations are just meant to be. It’s perfect for anyone looking to add a little flair to their night out—whether that means competitive bowling, leisurely drinking, or both.
