Beech Grove Bowl is the kind of place where "everybody knows your name." You want the Cheers of bowling alleys, start going to Beech Grove Bowl. This place is unassuming. It's an older building and there's not a lot of flair like you see in some places that try to be trendy. But Beech Grove Bowl has heart. More than that, they have everything you need--12 lanes, plenty of good food and drinks, music, and arcade games. And they're open (normally) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week... which blows my mind. You could literally go bowl whenever you want to! You want claw machines? They've got claw machines.You want to play some 90s pop while you bowl? You can select on the touchscreen "jukebox."You want to play the world's largest PAC-Man? That's here, too.Wanna bowl with your toddler? They have shoes that will fit their tiny feet, bumpers, and "slides" they can push the ball down. Looking for an adult league or youth bowling program? They've got you covered!It's an older building, but they've done some renovating. My only complaint is there's a bit of a (musty?) smell inside. They do have gluten free pizza crust, so that's a huge plus in my book! My fam loves the calzones and slushies. They even have Dip'N'Dots now.Basically, this is a community place with a lot to offer if you give it a chance. I think you'll see that when you stop by.

Sitting in a strip mall right next to the south side of the courthouse, this is a nice place to visit and do something a bit different. I always like regular bowling, but had never tried this different type of bowling. It's not a big place so there's only a handful of lanes. It was reasonably priced and they have a bar.Although I didn't go there to eat, I noticed that there wasn't any food available except for a catering option from another restaurant nearby. I think maybe they could offer some (light no cook and easy to serve) snacks, being that they sell liquor. The staff was nice and it was a good time. I would go again if I get back to Franklin.

From the outside of this place, wasn't sure what to expect. BUT..... this place is awesome! You can control the music that is played on your phone, of course it costs, but that is so cool! Pricing was fairly cheap! The lanes were nice, although very slick! The staff is the reason for the 5 stars though. One lady in particular was extremely helpful, and so upbeat and positive. Really appreciated spending time here.
