Bowling in a University District bar

Calgary's University District, along University Avenue NW, is home to one of two Banquet bars in the city; the other is in Mahogany, in the southeast. The format pairs bowling with arcade games, cocktails, wine and beer, food served at the bar or at tables, and a private dining room that can be booked for a birthday or a work party. Google's listing also mentions dancing and happy-hour food.

The hours are easy to remember: 11 AM every day, with closing at 1 AM from Sunday to Thursday and at 2 AM on Friday and Saturday, although the bar notes that closing time may vary. Children are welcome until 9 PM. Booking a lane works through the reservation page used for tables, and group events have their own enquiry form. Seating, entrance, parking and restroom are all listed as wheelchair accessible, and the bar holds a 4.5 Google rating from roughly 1,850 reviews.
