You no longer have to commute to Rosemont for Kings' signature vintage-chic bowling, and you might not even have to pay to play. Be one of the first 250 visitors at Kings Bowl’s opening night in Lincoln Park to win one free year of bowling (well, two free games per month for a year but hey, we’ll take it!), this Monday, November 2. The 24,000-square-foot space offers more than 16 lanes with a retro-glam interior (think Jetsons meets Mad Men), cocktail-focused bar, pizza and wings from Boston’s Max & Leo’s, and a game room with shuffleboard, billiards and foosball.
In addition to King Bowl, the eight-acre NewCity development includes a new ArcLight movie theater, Dicks’ Sporting Goods and the second-largest Mariano's, as well as a 200-unit residential tower. Explore NewCity yourself at the “neighborhood within a neighborhood’s” opening this weekend, and swing back Monday at 5pm for King Bowl’s opening night giveaway.
