We’ve spent many days chasing beer-pong glory at Park 77. But we aren't college kids any more, so the multi-generational, suddenly hipster, equally boozy sport of bowling is looking ever-more attractive. Decorated with eye-catching murals, the shiny, new Mission Bowling Club, is our pick. Co-owner Sommer Peterson suggests you bowl first to work up your appetite, then stay for a seasonal meal from executive chef Anthony Myint. The sausage corn dog was fantastic, and we bet you've never found ratatouille at a bowling alley this good.
