First look: Fancy Bowl & Barrel puts smelly bowling alleys to shame
Now, where do we find chic shoes to wear bowling?
Stan Olszewski
Bowl & Barrel uses string machines to make up the 15-lane bowling alley in Dallas, photographed on December 5, 2012. The new machines require less maintenance and are less expensive to operate.
DALLAS 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.
