Tablehooper brings us news of the latest developments surrounding the new Mission Bowling Club:

It’s going to be called the MISSION BOWLING CLUB, and is opening in spring 2012 at 3176 17th Street, near South Van Ness. And here’s who is going into the restaurant portion of the project: Anthony Myint (behind Mission Street Food, Mission Burger, Mission Chinese Food, and Commonwealth). His menu will feature the Mission Burger (you remember that bad boy from the Duc Loi supermarket?) and other “technique-driven comfort food.” And true to Myint’s form, a portion of sales will go to local youth-related charities.

[…]There will also be a sunny outdoor patio and covered bicycle parking. Hours will be Mon-Fri 5pm-2am, Sat-Sun 12pm-2am. (Family bowl will be from 12pm-7pm on weekends; 21+ on weekdays.

For those of you who don't know, Mission Burger was the insane burger shop inside Duc Loi that made one of the best vegan burgers I ever ate. The ketchup was served in individual packets stolen from McDonald's.  The fries were greasy.  It was the jam.  But despite the hype, the burger stand never made it: they ditched their signature vegan burger after a few months for various reasons and then shut down entirely a few months after that.

But now I get to bowl, eat vegan burgers, drink beer, hang out on an outdoor patio, and not have to deal with kids under the age of 21?  Is it 2012 yet?
