I loved bowling when I was younger, but living in downtown Toronto I seldom get much of a chance anymore. Though rather far east on the Danforth this is a great option for those not willing to make a hike to find a bowling spot -- and it's right on the Bloor subway line!
I was expecting a much larger venue, but Danforth Bowl is quite tiny -- maybe about 6 lanes, and 5-pins only. The spot definitely has a retro vibe and I was told it's been around for 65 years, and with the same family for the majority of that time. I really like how intimate the spot is. You walk down the stairs and feel like you've stumbled upon someone's rec room, complete with bar and snacks!
We had the place to ourselves for a special event, so not entirely sure on the price of bowling, but I'm certain it's inexpensive. I barely put a dent in my wallet buying a few Heinekens. The staff was super friendly and nice! Highly recommend this spot.
Most definitely will be coming back to work on my game!
