North Bowl

Nearly six years ago, Oron Daskal was fed up with the nightlife in Philadelphia. Besides smoke-filled bars, Oron felt that there weren't many places in the city where you can hang out and have a drink. He then decided to solve the problem himself, by creating North Bowl Lounge n' Lanes.

Opened in July 2006, North Bowl is the ultimate hang-out Oron dreamed. The completely renovated former mechanics garage is now a 21,000-square-foot nightlife haven. From the retro benches from bowling alleys of the 50s to the sculptural bar and glass enclosed pod that overlooks the lanes from the lounge, North Bowl is a place that is truly unique to Philadelphia. Its not just about bowling, it's about the atmosphere and the overall experience.
