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.
