More info

The date

The Marino family has run Grandview Lanes on Commercial Drive since 1947, which earns your trust before you roll a single ball. After dark, head upstairs for glow bowling under blacklight, loud music, and reasonably priced beer. Try five-pin, that uniquely Canadian flavour of chaos, so neither of you has an unfair edge. Roll out onto The Drive for tacos after.

How to do it

Head upstairs after dark for the blacklight lanes, where the music's loud and the cheap beer softens the blow when your date out-bowls you. Five-pin is gloriously chaotic, so if neither of you knows the rules, even better. No dress code, no reservation snobbery. Budget about 90 minutes, then roll right out onto Commercial Drive for tacos two minutes from the SkyTrain.
