If life is just a bowl of cherries, then bowling is a life of launching 12-pound cherry-flavored gumballs. Experience life's sweetest pastime with today's Groupon: for $20, you get two hours of bowling for up to six people, six pairs of shoes, and a pitcher of soda on one lane (up to a $50 value) at Diamond Strike Lanes & Sports Bar in Pompano Beach. The usual rate for this package changes throughout the week, so plan your outing appropriately to get the most from your Groupon.

With a newly renovated interior, Diamond Strike Lanes & Sports Bar offers a pristine bowling experience for customers looking for the latest ways to stylishly topple pins. For two hours, up to six bowlers can rack up the pins and smash personal strike records on one of the alley’s 32 slick-sliding lanes. Black lights illuminate the venue, and a video jukebox features more than 10,000 choices that can be displayed on one of eight huge screens above the lanes, or on other screens scattered throughout Diamond Strike. Shoes are included for all six bowlers, as is a pitcher of soda, which will infuse participants with the energy required to telekinetically guide the ball to its target without letting it fall into a bottomless gutter.

Hungry sportspeople can venture to the Sports Bar & Grill for a menu of delicious eats. Unlike Dorothy, who had an uninspiring yellow brick road to follow, guests at Diamond Strike Lanes can follow a psychedelically patterned carpet to a pro shop, arcade area, and pool tables. Gather up your five favorite friends or family members, pump up your ball, and fill a bowling alley with the thunderous last words of unfortunate pins.
