First look: Fancy Bowl & Barrel puts smelly bowling alleys to shame


Now, where do we find chic shoes to wear bowling?

— Upscale bowling? Fresh oysters? How very Dallas of us. Dallas' “boutique bowling, beer hall, and American tavern” called Bowl & Barrel is now open at The Shops at Park Lane.

The 15,000 square feet boasts state-of-the-art technology and an upscale design, with 15 lanes adjoined to an American tavern with a menu designed by Chef Sharon Hage, formerly of the sorely missed York Street. The eclectic menu features suped-up bowling alley favorites like baked pretzels, artisan hot dogs, and artisanal bologna from Rudolph’s Market in Deep Ellum, in addition to higher-brow fare like fresh oysters with malt vinegar mignonette, fresh salads, and artisan cheese and ham boards.

Here's a peek:

Bowl & Barrel will stay open until midnight on Sunday through Thursday and until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
