Eastside Bowl is a fun, mid-century themed bowling alley in East Nashville!

Eastside Bowl is a new bowling alley in East Nashville that is a nod to the vintage alleys of the past. Its mid-century vibe creates a fun atmosphere, perfect for the whole family. It’s also home to a restaurant, arcade, and music venue. 

Bowling is first come, first bowl, and six bowlers are allowed per lane. There are 16 lanes, and they fill up quickly on weekends. To avoid a wait time, try arriving right when it opens. Lanes are $18 per hour during the day and $22 per hour at night. Time cannot be added after play begins. They also offer HyperBowling which combines bowling and gaming using a blend of software, mechanical design, electronics, lights, and sensors. This is $10 extra. Shoe rentals are included in all prices, and they offer toddler sizes starting around size nine. For the younger bowlers, there are bumpers that can be added through the computer system when you input each bowler’s information. Unlike the old school bumpers, these come on and off automatically for each bowler’s need. They also have lighter balls and a bowling ramp. 

The restaurant, Clark’s Laneside, serves classic American food, including an East Nashville throwback to restaurant The Wash’s “Shepard’s Pie.” Food must be eaten at the restaurant and cannot be taken back to the lanes. Near the restaurant is the aracde, with dozens of pinball machines and vintage games.

The Wash is an entertainment complex in the back of the building, featuring two stages, state-of-the-art production, and the ability to host everything from intimate showcases, larger national acts, and special events of all sizes. A full concert calendar will be available starting in early 2022.
