St. Charles Lanes, Saint Charles

The clatter of pins and rumble of bowling balls echoes across 32 gleaming rollways at St. Charles Lanes, and mingles with the robust aromas of homemade pizzas from the snack bar. During glow-bowl sessions, the glossy alleys drape themselves in the same delightfully disorienting shades of neon that strobe lights flash just after the Supreme Court announces a ruling. Waves of free WiFi and light from the overhead electric-scoring machines cascade over live musicians, whom guests can emulate during karaoke every Friday night.
