Vernon Lanes

Vernon Lanes is a bowling alley and bar known for its eight vintage wooden lanes, which the site describes as the oldest bowling alley in Kentucky. Two full-service bars pour more than 40 beers, craft cocktails and mocktails, and coffee drinks, and the kitchen serves burgers, pizza, wings, salads and dessert skillets. Weekly trivia nights, a Jeopardy-style Bar League on Thursdays, and weekend brunch with bowling add to the lineup.

Lane reservations are priced per bowler or per lane for an hour, with shoes included, and the site suggests arriving an hour early to eat since there is nowhere to set food down while bowling. Dining tables are first come, first served. Parties of six or more have gratuity added. The lower-level event space has pool tables, pinball, darts, arcade games and a stage, and it hosts private events and parties. Patrons must be 21 or older after 9:30 pm. The address is 1575 Story Avenue in Louisville.
