Southport Lanes & Billiards

Bowling alley · Lakeview

"In Chicago, the historic Southport Lanes & Billiards closed in September 2020 after a 98-year run. At the time, owner Steve Soble told Eater Chicago that 'Southport Lanes is really about the community getting together, and when you take away these communal spaces and you’re not able to do that safely, it’s really hard to make it work.'" - Emma Orlow
