Bryant-Lake Bowl, where a certain sort of perfect life has been achieved, a life where a love of the vine and a fascination with mastering the 7-10 split exist in beautiful harmony. Read more

Voted Top 10 Bloody Marys! Our favorite is Amanda's Rock n' Roller made with lots of garlic and mild green Tabasco but maybe the Bloody Caesar made with Clamato or the Bloody Beer is more your style.

Get a seat at the bar if you can and watch Casper work; singing, commentary, and all n all a positive person make the experience at the bar on Sunday an awesome brunch. Get the BLB hash.

Love the small theatre! It's an excellent place to catch local talent. They also have a great date night deal.

Amy's breakfast burrito is always a crowd pleaser, but if you're ever in the mood for something more wholesome, you can't go wrong with the steel cut oatmeal with brown sugar and banana!
Amy BrittMay 25, 2014
Delicious, spicy, salty Bloody Marys! The Eggsadilla is great too, and never had a bad brunch item there. Staff is always welcoming and great. Love this place!
Amy SullivanOctober 11, 2014
Unique menu! Delicious food, vintage bowling, fun crowd. Servers are a little full of themselves but that may be a result of serving too many hipsters.
Jake SmithMay 20, 2013
The BBQ Bowler is the best item on the breakfast menu. Pro Tip: You can substitute breakfast potatoes for the mixed greens. I recommend you do that.
Cole KennedyNovember 27, 2013
It's like Lucky Strike, except more hip and authentic and now that I think about it pretty much the only thing they have in common is bowling and booze.
Joe ZSeptember 4, 2013
They have a good beer selection, but if you've come to bowl then you need to know how the scoring works. There is no automated system - everything is pencil & paper. And lane #5 curves to the left.
Heavy TableJuly 21, 2014
Stop for brunch -- both the biscuits and mushroom gravy and the bison hash stand out as classic examples of Uptown comfort food. Read more

A vintage bowling alley, restaurant, and cabaret theater, serving up grass-fed beef, sustainably harvested seafood, and lots of micro brews.
eryn oFebruary 2, 2013
Gluten free bread and buns available. Omission Pale Ale and Lager in bottles. GF people can *eat a burger* and *drink a beer* in public at the same time. Luxury.
Sharifa SimonAugust 7, 2014
Rent out the theater for your next event! Super accommodating and the staff was incredibly nice!

Voted Best Bowling Alley by City Pages in 2011! Do-it-yourself scoring and $2 bowling most nights of the week make Bryant Lake Bowl the ideal bowling alley

Amanda's is my favorite of the Bloodies. Much respect for 4 of them on the menu. Tart, a little kick, nice thick mix.

Don't know how to manually keep bowling score? Well, then you're in toubs. Also, the girls bathroom smells like red licorice, which is a good th- NO, excellent thing.

Tonight's date night meal was sub par. This is my first date night meal and it didn't live up to the standards of the regular menu.

They got rid of the BBQ Bowler, the best thing on the breakfast menu. Ask nicely and maybe they’ll bring it back.
