Today Grubstreet smacked down the rumors that Brooklyn Bowl was considering a move to Mission Street, getting word from BB's spokesman that the gossip was fantasy spurred from a conversation with a Mission building owner.  However, just as our dreams of being able to bowl during the Dolores renovations were crushed, Tablehopper brought affirmative news that Mini Bar owners have secured an undisclosed space in the Mission with enough room for a bar, open kitchen, lounge, and six lanes:

[Mini Bar co-owner Sommer Peterson] explains the food concept they’re looking for: “Take the tired and bad-for-you bowling concession-style food and turn it on its head with quality ingredients and healthy options.” The design will be comfortable (no 60s kitsch) with warm furnishings and plush seating at the lanes. There will be a sunny outdoor patio for dining, which will also provide a generous area of covered bike parking. With only six lanes, the owners look forward to being a personal neighborhood business. They hope to launch in early Spring 2012.

Fuck ya!  Someone fill that concession stand with organic deep-fried onion rings and seitan fish and chips!

Tablehopper also has a floor plan for the new bowling alley, so be sure to check that out.

Last night I overheard someone mention that there was an upscale open bar at Dolores Park Church.  So I took one look at my tshirt with kittens printed on it and jeans covered in mud, figured that was good enough and rolled.  Now, I'm not really sure what was going on last night, but there were a lot of people wearing suits, cocktail dresses, some bongos, and lots of free Don Julio.

Will they be doing this again?  No one really had an answer for me, but considering the number of boisterous drunks outside (primarily me), I'm sure the NIMBY neighbors will have a good cry with some city officials who otherwise wouldn't care.

Also, nice bathrooms!
