| - So, we went to a Yelp party at Mahall's...and I have to admit, I'd never heard of it before last night.
I love surprises:)
Mahall's is a bowling alley in the CLASSIC style...as in this place still has the original lanes and set-ups from about the 1950's. No overhead screens and tech here folks; this places is so retro even hipsters were stunned:)
We were in a set of lanes upstairs, and there was another set way downstairs in the basement, and it was really sort of cool to see the old-style way the place was set up. The staff was great, very kind and very helpful (hint; if your friends bowling balls get stuck in the return, DO NOT TRY TO HELP AND UNSTICK THEM! Let the staff do it!)
The other interesting thing about the place is the food and the bar. Everything is retro, and the place has a worn, comfortable feel. The food at the gathering last night was very unique, from barbequed peanuts, to fried chicken, cinnamon-sugar popcorn and pretzels whose shape I'm still trying to figure out.
In another section, they have a small stage set up for concerts by local bands. Very close and intimate, very cool.
Overall, a good experience and the party was fun.
However, one bit of advice...DO NOT DRINK AND BOWL...or mistakenly walk onto the lanes...cause you'll be fodder for a thousand YouTube videos later...
Anyway, try Mahall's; it just might set you up and knock you down:)
