We have a new bowling alley to hit over the weekend! The now open Kuwait Bowling Sports Club in Salmiya is huge, with an extra glassy entrance if we might add, and includes endless lanes for all the bowling lovers out there. It’s definitely the new spot to be for both amateur and professional players in Kuwait. For this bazaar team, it’s a classic past time, and the perfect way to end the work week!
Situated on the ground floor, the bowling alley contains 48 lanes in total (they really did look endless to us) including a separate VIP room with ten lanes. You’ll also find Aspro on the same floor serving savory foods and specialty coffee to get that much-needed energy hit for an invincible and powerful strike!
Once we came in, we gave the registry our names and geared up by just exchanging our daily sneaks to bowling shoes, which are easily picked up by size in the rows of shelves right in front of us. And just in case you needed to store and keep your belongings safe and sound, placed on the side, you will find lockers for that purpose.
When we started bowling (let’s be honest, it was more like warming up since it’s been a while), we saw a really cool feature on the screen that also included our current scores. Beyond the scorekeeping, it actually provides us with extremely detailed instructions on how to hit the leftover bowling pins. The screen suddenly turned into our guide, essentially helping us even more. Also on the same scoring screen, just on the bottom, there’s a total score for all of the above players. This is beneficial if you came with a big group, as you’ll get to compete with other lanes based on the totality of these points. Knowing us, we can never say no to a challenging competition. And, it’s not considered bragging if you can back it up!
The Kuwait Bowling Sports Club also offers several bowling related services, such as training, which is perfect for ambitious amateurs looking to take their bowling game to the next level! When we took a look inside the VIP room, complete with its beautifully lit neon lanes and comfortable seating areas, all we kept thinking of is, “When’s the party going to start?”. The manager also told us that the room is up for a private booking, and you can bring anything with you, even party stations.
Another extra point for the bowling spot lies in their prices, it only cost us 1.5 Kuwaiti Dinars off-peak per person to play one round, and if you’re looking to bowl in the VIP room, it’ll only cost four Kuwaiti Dinars, excluding the prices for private bookings. In general, we had a lovely and exciting experience bowling there. It was a very much needed chill spot to relax and bowl with my fellow colleagues, and I personally loved the hype-up whenever any of us hit a strike!
Just one last tip, if you weren’t lucky with strikes, keep persisting that the next one will be a strike, put it out there in the universe, and trust me, you WILL get it in there one way or another. If not, pull up the easy bars and take a go at it!
