The Ball Room

Bowling gets a chic makeover at The Ballroom, a quirky playground at the corner of John and Richmond where a smorgasbord of pleasures awaits. An adults-oriented take on the bowling alley scenes that populated your childhood, this interactive entertainment centre has something for everyone in its 20,000 square feet of fun-filled space. From its 52 big-screen TVs and seven 12-by-six-foot projection screens, two ping-pong tables and laneside booze delivery, to its nine rocking lanes of 10-pin fun, this downtown pleasure palace delivers playful relief to the torrent of see-and-be-seen dance clubs that spill across this part of town. And the nosh here is fantastic, with a frisky menu that embraces comfort-food staples with enthusiasm. Twinkletoes Flintstone would be here every night, if Wilma would let him.
