"All Star Bowling Center, Eagle Rock. When your friend’s mailman’s metal band has a show at the bowling alley (true story), well, the mailman gets automatic bonus points, but All Star Bowling Center really scores. A live show at the bowling alley might seem kitsch, but it’s real. The decor is more or less frozen in time in every shade of green and ’retro feel’ here might just mean rough around the edges. What might lack in luster (broken A/C, chipped balls, dull lanes) makes up for it with inexpensive prices and a surplus of fun at your disposal - perfect for parties. Karaoke, pool tables, a video arcade, a “cozy and romantic” cocktail lounge pretty much spell out a big night of glitz. So don’t say we didn’t offer the hot tip."
