Looking for a fun bowling alley in DC proper to host a birthday. Outside of Pinstripes in Georgetown, does anyone have any recommendations? TIA!
Edit: Damn guys…it was just a question from a fellow resident. Not sure why I’m getting downvotes. Of course I’ll Google it…but just figured I’d ask here too.
Looks like our lack of bowling alleys are likely to be cited by congress as a reason not to have statehood
What about Lucky Strike in Gallery Place.
I haven't been in a long time so I don't know if they want outta business or not. I would def check them out. Yes it's got a bar/club vibe, but it's a legit bowling alley
It went out of business.
Someone mentioned the only one here - but I'd def check out Swingers for mini golf...seems like a similar vibe if its a birthday thing. Top Golf in National Harbor is fun too but not super convenient.
However Puttery downtown is expensive even by DC standards. $22 for 9 holes of mini golf that takes 15 min
Agree, Puttery sucks. Swingers is also expensive but better.
The Eleanor in NoMa has a couple lanes of mini bowling, plus a decent arcade and good beer selection.
DUCKPIN!!!! White Oak!
That alley closed about a year ago due to flooding and it’s still listed as closed
NOOOOOO! I didn't know that! I love that place!
Childhood memories y'know
Check out Suitland Bowl for all your duckpin needs!

Am I going to be invited?
Bowling alleys in or near DC are shitty. The lanes are dried up as fuck. Don’t waste your $$ on these unless you really do not give a shit about the quality. There’s a Bowlero nearby.
If you dont mind a 20-30 min drive out of DC, I’d recommend Odenton or Crofton— its Greenway Bowl or Crofton Bowling Centre (theres a Crofton Classic Pro Shop next door)
Is Google broken?

Pinstripes in the only bowling alley in DC proper. There is also a bar or two with a couple mini lanes. And the White House.
