Brooksville Lanes

1691 E. Jefferson St., Brooksville, FL, 34601

Brooksville Lanes is a bowling center at 1691 E. Jefferson St. in Brooksville, east of downtown. It describes itself as a retro alley, with real wood lanes and approaches rather than modern synthetic surfaces, and an atmosphere that is closer to a neighborhood hangout than an entertainment complex. An attached bar and food service make it a place to stay for more than a game or two. Patrons have described a Saturday karaoke night, an occasional live band and a Wednesday special of one-dollar games, along with birthday parties and group outings for families, churches and companies. The business invites visitors to stop in or call about current specials. Google lists the alley as closed on Mondays and opening at noon on other days, but the business has not published a schedule that could be verified, and league nights, lane rates and shoe rental prices were not available. Readers should call (352) 799-1987 or check the alley's Facebook page before visiting.
