The Branch

The Branch is a full-service restaurant and bar with boutique bowling lanes and an arcade under one roof. American fare built on locally sourced meat, produce and beverages is the main draw, along with a brunch menu on weekends and a bar serving cocktails, beer and wine. Bowling and arcade games are a big part of the experience, with an upscale feel rather than a typical snack-bar alley.

Guests can order food and drinks straight to their bowling lane, so the game doesn't have to stop for a meal, and there are no separate food minimums or time limits. The venue hosts gift cards, bowling parties, leagues, private events, live music and trivia nights. Earlier hours and weekend daytimes lean family-friendly, while Friday and Saturday evenings get livelier. The Branch is at 49 Catoctin Circle SE in Leesburg, Virginia.
