Playful mainstay combining a tavern & casual bar fare with bowling & arcade games.
"If you’ve never been mini bowling, stop reading and head to The Eleanor in NoMa right now. The American bar and grill has two lanes that you can reserve for $10 a person for an hour, and you’ll be giggling at how tough it is to bowl tiny pins. This is where your big group of friends can come and hang out and play pinball during the half-priced Happy Hour while you wait for your lane to open up. Sharing food is ideal here, so get the General Tso’s wings, which are crunchy and have a subtle kick, and the corn ribs, which are a fun spin on elote. " - Tristiana Hinton
