Regency Bowling Center, Bakersfield

When sweltering summer days and nights threaten to put a damper on fun, Regency Lanes Bowling Center comes to the rescue. 40 polished, all-wood lanes await to host groups of bowlers during league and open-play, and if the air conditioning isn't enough to keep players cool, the Happy Hour and Panic Hour drink specials will certainly help. On weekend nights, the house lights go down and the blacklights go up for cosmic bowling, when players roll under an eerie neon glow and to a soundtrack of fun tunes. And, of course, Regency Lanes also boasts an on-site grill to keep bowlers fueled well past the final frame.
