Bowling but make it trendy. I got you covered. BNA bowling is a located within the brewery that hosts one of Kelowna’s top chefs in a laid back setting. You don’t always need to dress up for the best of Kelowna! Definetly a good place if you want to bowl in a kiddo free environment and enjoy some top notch drinks. #Adulting.
What to Expect?
As BNA is located downtown parking fees will apply depending on when you go. The atmosphere has a retro feel fueled by the seating, decor, and arcade games alongside the bowling alley. To bowl you will need a reservation and lane rentals are $45-$55 an hour depending on what day of the week you go. Socks are available for purchase and bowling shoes are available for rent. Bowling with long nails? Don’t sweat it. BNA has bowling ramps to help prevent breakage! I’m sure that’s not their true purpose haha but it most certainly helps. Food and drinks are also available to enjoy while you bowl.
So Yo, How’d it go?
I had such a great time with my friends here! We had eaten at one of the tables before bowling and had drinks brought out to us while getting our bowl on. I would highly recommend one of their silly sodas, specifically the cream soda. It was so good! We also had the beef rendang and BBQ chicken wonton nachos. Definetly not your average pub food. The bowling shoes are as cute as can be, especially with everyone dressed up for dinner. Tres beau. We had started off playing just for fun, but by the third round of turns the competition was on and it there was no mercy to be found. As you can see, we are clearly expert bowlers. I can’t be the only one who thinks underhand throws are underrated right? In the end the birthday girl left us in the dust claiming her rightful place as bowling queen.
But What About the Food?
They have pizzas, burgers, nachos, and then some special menu items such as beef rendang and tom kha gai mussels and clams. Everything came with rave reviews from our table except the fish tacos, which were peruvian style and did not meet my peruvian partner’s expectations. But hey, to each their own! They serve gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options making this place pretty alternative diet friendly.
Final Thoughts
My final thoughts on BNA Bowlng is that they truly tried to be as inclusive as possible when it came to the menu and who can bowl. I have broken all my nails at other bowling centres and vowed to never bowl again, making BNA a GAME CHANGER. Not only that but bowling without the kikddos is a game changer. We will definetly be back for a rematch.
Now get out there and start Discovering Kelowna!
