Timberlanes History:
Timber Lanes originally opened in 1945 as a way to draw in more people to the building’s bar.
During the Prohibition era, it is said that the building was used to smuggle beer. Below the bowling alley’s wood floors, there is a dark ‘dungeon’ with a former cooler room and four chutes for empty bottles.
In the mid 20th century, there were 110-plus alleys across the city, while now Timberlanes is one of a few alleys on the northside. Join us in a fun day of bowling with a side of disco!
