Originally opened in 1927, Highland Park Bowl is Los Angeles' oldest operating bowling venue, meticulously restored to showcase its Prohibition-era roots. Guests can bowl on eight vintage lanes surrounded by original mechanical artifacts and exposed brickwork. Beyond bowling, the venue serves Neapolitan-style pizzas, craft cocktails, and hosts live music events.
History
The storied past of Highland Park Bowl dates back to the Prohibition era when it was established in 1927. Throughout the years, it transformed from a neighborhood bowling alley to a punk rock venue and eventually underwent a major restoration in 2016 to bring back its original charm.
