Montreal Bowling: Reviving a relic in the downtown Forum

It’s not every day a relic gets brought back from the dead in Montreal.

Originally built in 1924, Le Forum de Montreal has been a lot of things to Montrealers—a claim to fame for being built in 159 days, a home to 24 Stanley Cup championships, an entertainment complex with a 22-screen movie theatre, arcades, and a comedy club.

So to hear that its bowling and sports bar is being revived under the plain and simple name of Montreal Bowling with modernized dine-in options, refurbished alleys, a pool table, sports on a dozen TVs and glizzys every day of the week?

In all its original Y2K aesthetic glory after going dark in 2020?

That ain’t nothing.
