Seven Ten Lounge Looking to strike out into more stylish territory? Visit this posh lounge featuring lavish lanes with a swanky 60s inspired decor that brings about the wondering had the Rat Pack bowled in similar digs. Though the surroundings are plush, the atmosphere is casual as many of Chicago’s professionals venture out to seek a nightlife option free of crowded bars/clubs filled with rowdy still coming of age patrons. Gone are the smoke filled alleys, with balding bowling jockeys, peeling wall paint, cheesy bowling decals, and hoards of screaming children fascinated with the bowling ball polishing machine. Here, martinis are standard issue (or any other spirits from their well stocked bar) along with the rental shoes. And sorry folks, some traditions die hard as apparently, all bowling shoes seem to follow the same basic design.The staff from the bartenders to waitresses even to the managerial staff are extremely friendly and attentive. Each lane is $20 per hour and is allowed up to 4 bowlers, you grab three of your friends and that’s 5 bucks a pop! Tack on a $3 shoe fee and your looking at a fun night out for less than $10 bucks.You’ll marvel at the old school setup as there is no electronic score keeping, so you may want to sharpen up on your mental math skills. So channel your inner hipster by ordering a stiff drink and please…try not to step over the fault line.
