Revived by a crew of local hospitality pros, this fourth-floor Forum time capsule blends a Y2K aesthetic with a modern bar menu and just enough grit to keep it interesting. The original neon, woodwork, and Brunswick lanes are still intact, but now there’s smash burgers, pan pizzas, glizzys, nachos named after Peter Weber, and a QR-coded wheel of chance at the bar. You can even order 100 beers for $500 and have them delivered in a bucket. It’s not precious and that’s the point—this is a hangout for people who want to do something while they drink, not just drink. Whether you’re a Concordia student killing time or a former NDG league bowler reliving your glory days, Montreal Bowling makes a strong case for the comeback of good old-fashioned fun.
