This 1920s gem offers a night of bowling, boozing and burlesque.

Bask in the gleaming surroundings of the masterful restoration project that is Highland Park Bowl. It was established in 1927, when patrons would head to the doctor’s offices on the second floor to collect medicinal whiskey prescriptions, then head downstairs to get them filled. The lower-level recreational space slowly became a place to booze and bowl. Later, a music store within the premises acquired a live music license and a magnificent party palace was born.

Pics in article -- absolutely stunning.

So this was like the historical precursor to medical marijuana?

Beautiful bowling alley!
A lot of our modern architecture & interior design is too sterile and lacks the character & aesthetic appeal from the older, bygone days. We can learn so much more from the past.

In those days, men would put on a good suit, and ladies a fancy dress, simply to go bowling. We've lost a little something in our culture.

Love it. This is one of 11 locations refurbished by a company called the 1933 group. They all look amazing from the photos.
