Your experience will depend heavily on who's playing as the crowd and atmosphere varies a fair amount. It's always a good time though so even if you don't know the band, you'll have fun. Pre-show, food at ye olde college inn nearby is a good choice. There are also a number of great places a short drive away.

We saw Nathan and the Zydeco Cha Chas a week ago, and they were awesome! Two and a half hours of music without a break (probably... More

A piece of living history - Elvis played here. You grab a lane and in the evening there is live rock n roll - it is just awesome.

I went there after looking up locations for Cajun music. I found this place and went over not knowing what to expect since I just remembered the name, but no description or anything. When I got there I saw this beautiful old time lighting and advertisement on the side of the wall. Inside it's a nice bowling alley in the... More
