Salon de Quilles Greber, Gatineau

Sixteen five-pin lanes on Boulevard Gréber

Yves Leblanc heads the Salon de Quilles Gréber on Boulevard Gréber in Gatineau, a five-pin house with 16 lanes that the centre describes as modern and well maintained, all with automatic scoring. Next to the lanes, a bar and snack counter serves drinks and quick meals, and a hall can be rented for parties, receptions and other celebrations.

The building opens at 10 AM every day, but open play does not always start then. On weekdays, public bowling lasts the whole day until 10 PM; on Saturday it begins at 1 PM and runs to midnight, and on Sunday it is limited to 4 PM to 8 PM, when the house closes. Leagues for adults, youth, seniors and players with special needs, fundraisers, birthdays and company parties fill the rest of the calendar, and Rock n Bowl nights, a pro shop and video lottery terminals appear among its amenities.
