Depending how long you've lived in Highwood, you might know this space as Highwood Bowl, Minstrel's Alley or even Mary Jane Lanes. But if you haven't been back in a while, you'll find there's plenty to do at this vintage bowling alley, which has been re-energized as a live music venue and late-night hangout. Bring your crew and fuel your bowling game with pizza, mini-burgers or a giant grilled cheese sandwich. In the bar, more than 30 bottled beers beckon and sports game du jour airs on the TVs. A live music lineup running Wednesday through Saturday ranges from DJ sets to acoustic guitar to blues bands.
