| - I discovered a hidden gem in Scottsdale and am pinching myself for not finding it sooner. For some reason, I also used to go south when I wanted to go bowling, but I now realize I should have gone north instead! After a day of spring training, we decided to make a stop by Brunswich Via Linda lanes for a couple hours of bowling fun and fun it was!
I don't know what it is, but bowling alleys always strike me as shady but right off the bat, I was completely impressed with how "non-shady" this bowling alley was. I could tell that this is a family-fun spot and one that is frequented often by locals. The bowling alley itself has several lanes, a fully loaded arcade room, a bar, food and even a "gift shop" with bowling essentials! Sadly we didn't have any socks, but luckily for us, they had a vending machine that also sold socks. Yes they were a little overpriced at $2.50 but that's what we get for forgetting our own socks at home! The venue itself was clean and I didn't feel icky using the community shoes and bowling balls. In addition, they have hand santizer so I was able to get a swift cleaning to my hands after turn of bowling and before digging into the tasty popcorn.
Now let's move on to the reason people come here: the bowling. It ended up being cheaper to purchase two hours of unlimited bowling so we went for that. While I won't be joining a pro bowling league anytime soon, it was a lot of fun and the bowling game went along seamlessly and without any issues! However, since we went for the two hours of unlimited bowling, it shut off right at two hours which didn't let us finish our game, so if you go that route remember to keep an eye on the clock!
I have definitely found my new neighborhood bowling alley and can't wait to come back again. I might even join a bowling league. Any takers?
