Grand Central Bowl, Arcade & Sports Bar in Portland, Oregon

“You feel like youu2019re taking a step back in time when you visit this bowling alley in Portland. Large bar with fun cocktails, beverages, great pizza and other food options. The service was amazing. Great space for large group. Twelve bowling lanes. Service at lane. A whole floor of arcade games. Plenty to do for the whole family!”

“Fun ambiance. Clever idea, putting a bowling alley in the middle of an old building.It feels like a fun hidden place. I've only been once for my granddaughter's birthday. And although she and her friends are only 8 years old, they all loved it. See her Cade upstairs is clean and charming. The bowling felt like an intimate and fun experience. The food was fantastic for the price. I think this would be a sweet location”

“Great place to stop by before a Blazer game. Convenient location close to the Moda Center. Plenty of parking in the garage, and it was only $4 for 2 hours. We also ordered the chicken wings and cheese pizza. They have good non-alcoholic options. I wished I took pics of the bowling area. Itu2019s really clean, nice, and classy. Service was great and friendly. Would definitely come back. I need to try their bowling!”

“Can not stress how great Jessica was from the get-go. She met me at the bar and immediately had drinks and menus ready to go Her service was seamless and allowed us time to figure out what we wanted and get us the food fast! She suggested the dessert menu tiramisu and omgsh this thing was amazing. Never would've had it if there wasn't an amazing suggestion”
