Editorial Review for Mid-City Lanes Rock 'N' Bowl – by Jason McCann
The Scene
This cavernous, unlikely music venue attracts all kinds, from Uptown professionals to cash-strapped students and music-loving couples. Locals of all ages come to Cajun two-step on the large wooden dance floor. Tourists generally stand back at the protruding half-circle bar eyeing the dancers.
The Draw
Of course, some patrons just come to bowl, and they're treated to great background music, not the usual repetitious drone heard in more traditional alleys. Rock 'N' Bowl focuses on regional roots styles, from Cajun and zydeco to swing and rockabilly. Don't expect high-tech bowling that keeps score for you--this is an old score sheet-and-pencil kind of alley. Multicolored bowling shoes cost a buck and each lane rents for $12 per hour on Saturdays and Sundays and $10 per hour on other days.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasA downstairs performance space, cheekily named "Bowl Me Under," occasionally hosts local acts. Patrons pony up a pay-one-price cover for unlimited back-and-forth access to both the alley and the hall below.
