The days of all bowling alleys being dark, dungy places are gone. Of course you can still find those, but you can also find some really fancy ones now too!

Two new upscale bowling alleys are opening this week in the Denver-area. Lucky Strike announced that Lucky Strike Southlands, debuted on Monday (Oct. 21) at 32901 E. Orchard Road in Aurora. The second, Lucky Strike Northfield, opens at 7950 Northfield Blvd. in Denver on Thursday.

According to The Denver Post, the Aurora location has 36 lanes plus an arcade with 60 games and in-house sports bars with TVs for gameday viewing. Food and beverage menus include bowling standards like chicken tenders and burgers, as well as some unexpected items like bao buns, champagne and espresso martinis.

Similarly, Denver’s newest Lucky Strike will have 30 lanes, an arcade with 65 games, and sports bars. Both locations also offer glow-in-the-dark bowling.

Both locations are hosting grand opening parties where guests receive a free game of bowling, a $5 arcade card, passed appetizers and champagne. Aurora’s happens on Nov. 9, and the Denver location on Nov. 16.
