Spent some time tonight at the amazing Shatto Lanes. It’s really easy to miss on the corner of Vermont and 4th but once inside.. wow! Here’s some photos I snapped of the scenery but after seeing the insanely diverse groups of people hanging out together here I’m suddenly convinced that the solution to all the worlds problems is bowling. Someone hit the waitress button already.
i agree wholeheartedly…
I have got to check this place out.
after the hollywood star lanes closed, Shatto really picked up the slack. It’s really cheap (five bucks a string, including shoe rental), there’s FORTY lanes, there’s a full bar, about 20 pool tables, and some awesome vintage vending machines.
the only minor problem is the lack of decent bowling balls. Most of the ones there are chewed up, too huge, or have odd finger holes. But whatever – small price to pay. My friends and I go there all the time.
Been to Shatto, dig the throwback bowling pics, but that ball conditioner looks like it needs to be retired.
Dude, if blogging.la had a Sunday bowling party, I would so be there.
You forgot to mention my perfect bowling form and all the STRIKES I racked up.
it’s a true story, shatto is the shit.
This is true, I saw one of the Korean business guys bowling next to Travis almost choke on his fries when he saw that sweet form.
It’s all in the wrist kids.
Ah yes, the good Shatto 39 on the 4th Street Bicycle Boulevard! I had my birthday there!
4SBB!!
can we get a IAAL-MAF ride to incorporate bowling at the Shatto 39 somehow?!
