T-Birds Food Fun Games, Brandon

Two pin games under one Brandon roof

The same family has owned and operated T-Birds Food Fun Games in Brandon since 1962, at 2140 Currie Boulevard. Of its 20 lanes, eight are set up for small-ball five-pin and twelve for large-ball ten-pin, so a group can split by preference. The centre pitches itself at bowlers from about age 3 to 93, and glow bowling has its own timetable. Leagues cover adults, youth, seniors and special-needs bowlers, alongside youth clubs and tournaments.

Food is a big part of the draw. The kitchen turns out homemade burgers, chicken fingers breaded on site and pizza from its Pizza Place, to eat on the main floor, take away or have delivered. The Grill & Bar adds a 138-inch screen, a pool table, darts and pinball, video lottery terminals sit on the main floor, and an arcade keeps younger players busy. Birthday and corporate parties, fundraisers and school field trips can all be booked.
