Donelson Bowling Center, known to locals as "Donelson Bowl," is the oldest bowling alley in Nashville, Tennessee. It's known for its low-key fun and family-friendly environment!
The classic bowling alley is still decked out in a whole heap of elective, vintage charm, and has been providing great family entertainment since 1960.
The alley is quite proud of its history. Located right in the heart of Donelson, you'll pay a few bucks for a game and some bowling shoes just steps from some of the best suburban areas in the city.
Clean and not usually packed, Donelson Bowl has computerized scoring systems and bumpers for the kiddos. If your little ones are struggling, don't forget to ask for a ball ramp! There are even lightweight balls available upon request.
Come hungry! Donelson Bowl has a whole menu of indulgent snack bar favorites. Fries, beer, and burgers anyone? There are even Goo Goo Clusters on the menu if you want to go with the states of classic Nashville.
