San Antonio: Bowlero strikes retro in 47,000 SF

SAN ANTONIO – The 47,000-sf Bowlero bowling alley, formerly AMF Country Lanes, has opened at 13307 San Pedro Ave. near the intersection of US Hwy. 281 and Bitters Rd.

The alley boasts a "retro-modern" style, which involves using reclaimed wood and metal among other materials and repurposing vintage items — such as an Airstream trailer converted to a snack bar at the alley chain’s location in The Woodlands.

The new alley will feature a 1966 Mustang Convertible, said Colie Edison, vice president of marketing for Bowlmor AMF. The bar and shoe desks are built with raw metal and panels of reclaimed cargo containers.

The location will also have a full-service kitchen headed up by Edward Porter, the company’s executive chef who won Food Network’s "Guy’s Grocery Games" cooking competition.

On the bowling side, there will be blacklight bowling and floor-to-ceiling video screens at the end of each lane. In addition, the space will include a gravity ropes course, billiards, shuffleboard and vintage arcade games among other attractions.
