Where to go bowling in Metro Vancouver

Fall has arrived, and if the current weather patterns are any indication it’s going to be a wet one. Don’t let that get you down. Stay dry but spry with the King of Sports, and the Sport of Kings – bowling!

Don’t question it, just grab a ball and some ill-fitting shoes and head on down to one of these local lanes. Here’s where to go bowling in Metro Vancouver.

Commodore Bowling & Billiards

This Vancouver institution opened in 1930, and has remained a stalwart provider of good times in the decades since. On top of hosting parties, billiards, and a fully-licensed lounge, Commodore Bowling – as the name might suggest – has also got 5 pin bowling. Now it isn’t your classic Big Lebowski 10-pound ball sort of game, but it’s got balls and pins. Dig it.

First opened in 1961, North Shore Bowl has been owned and operated since 1983 by three-time Canadian Bowling Champion Richard Grubb. That’s bowling pedigree. If that doesn’t impress you, then maybe nothing will. They’ve got bowling of the glow and bumper variety, party-hosting rooms, and arcade, and more.
