Features
Scoring: Auto with cartoons
Bar: Full, snack bar, and excellent vending selection
Crowd: Too many kids, but the ones who were next to us kicked ass at bowling.
Balls: Limited selection, had to settle for burgundy, dinky finger holes.
Music: Top Gun soundtrack. Good lord.

Upscale retro atmosphere though it's way too new looking to be authentic. Nonetheless, it's pretty cool architecturally, even if it's fake retro. Vampire-types may want to stay out of the snack bar/banquet hall, however, since it does get quite sunny in there. One of the highlights of this establishment are the surreal cartoons that entertain you while the lane is being cleared. The plot of these brief, inspirational animated stories is a bowling ball's visit to various locales including an art museum, prison, and more. One thing that must be mentioned is the view, which is by far the best of any bowling alley I've ever seen: a clear, unobstructed view of the pacific and there is little that is more sinister than a dark undulating pit of sharks.
