AMF Bowling Square Lanes (CLOSED)

We'll be honest—this alley's biggest selling point is the fact that it's Din Tai Fung adjacent. And since there's always a substantial wait at the famed dumpling house, a round at Bowling Square is the perfect way to kill time. Speaking of time, walking in here feels like you've really stepped back in it—and stepped way out of LA, to boot. The folks here care nothing for seeing and being seen, but they do take their bowling seriously. Also, their cocktails. You can get a bowl-sized margarita in the lounge (we recommend this to make the dumpling wait fly by), or a giant-sized beer, if you prefer. Take advantage of the deals here, such as Unlimited Pizza Bowl (all-you-can-eat pizza and unlimited bowling for $15 or $20, depending on when you go), Two Dollar Night ($2 games, shoes and PBRs) and College Night (student discounts on Thursdays). Also, gumball machines!
