Fireside Bowl

Rock is up its alley

2646 West Fullerton Avenue
Chicago, IL 60647
+1 773 486 2700

This place is rarely used as a bowling alley these days. Now it is more of a punk-rock castle that showcases such acts as Star Vehicle, a local celebrity noise band. It has not lost its edge over the years, and there are still crowds averaging around 300, although capacity is 800. The lounge bar is fully stocked, offering domestic and imported beers. Take heart, though - you can still bowl if you really want to.
