For more than five decades, Bowl Incline has been a gathering place for North Lake Tahoe residents and visitors alike. Now, the Tomkovicz family is breathing new life into this longtime community favorite, transforming it from a retro bowling alley into a modern entertainment destination designed for the next generation.
While bowling remains at the heart of the experience, today's Bowl Incline offers much more than a set of lanes. Guests can enjoy arcade games, friendly competition, craft cocktails, elevated dining, live entertainment, and private events, all under one roof. Whether you're planning a family outing, birthday party, corporate gathering, or simply looking for something fun to do on a weekend, Bowl Incline aims to deliver an experience that brings people together.
A standout feature is the addition of Sam Choy's Ohana Diner, which puts a Hawaiian twist on classic comfort food. Guests can enjoy a sit-down meal in the restaurant or have food delivered directly to their lane while they play.
The venue has also become an important hub for community events. Throughout the year, Bowl Incline hosts live music, private celebrations, and fundraising events that support local organizations and causes. In fact, the bowling lanes will be temporarily closed through June 10th as the facility transforms into an event center for several major fundraising events, including Crab Fest, the Songwriters Showcase, Fur Ball, and other community gatherings.
As Bowl Incline continues its evolution, its mission remains the same: creating a welcoming place where friends, families, neighbors, and visitors can connect, celebrate, and have fun together.
If you haven’t visited yet, now is the perfect time to stop in.
