The loud clack of pins dominate the soundscape at Manatee Lanes, punctuating the revelrous sounds of league players, birthday party attendees, and couples on dates. And thanks to each lane’s Brunswick IQ system and TV screens, nobody in the group has to break up the fun by keeping score or pretending to be a computer-generated turkey any time a player scores three strikes in a row.

But bowling is just one part of the equation here. There’s also a video arcade with multiple billiards tables and an air hockey machine, as well as a sports bar and grill that regularly churns out golden-brown wings and ice cold beer.
