What’s On

Tuesday to Thursday
9-24 DECEMBER
3:30pm to 5:30pm

To celebrate bowls bookings going online, we’re rolling out a school-holiday special that won’t make your wallet faint.

From Dec 9–24, bring the kids down Tues–Thurs, 3:30–5:30pm, and your young ones (6–15) bowl for just five bucks with a paying adult.

Kids under sixteen must be supervised by a playing grown-up — preferably one who can still bend over without swearing.

Sunshine, giggles, wobbly bowls… it’s all happening.

Book online and let the fun begin.

Cheapest bowls in the Inner West. Have a go at that!

Every Wednesday
From 7pm

FREE

Are you a weird matrix of knowledge? The kind of competitive creature who can balance a pint and a rich repository of useless facts that usually earn you nothing but grief and bemused looks? WE WANT YOU!

Test your knowledge, your friends’ patience, and your ability to stay calm after confidently writing down Tonga instead of Portugal.

Bring your brain, your bravado, and your best wrong answers — trivia at the Bowlo is upon us.

BOOK AHEAD; this event WILL book out.

Every Friday
From 8pm

FREE

Get your singing trunks on and step into the limelight for Karaoke at the Bowlo!

Hosted by the downright radiant Rinda, our new karaoke crew brings a fresh vibe, new openness, and the freedom to howl Werewolves of London at the top of your larynx register.

Karaoke kicks off every Friday at 8pm.

Come for the fun, come for the laughter, come for the free reign of that diamond-studded mic.

And with a Careless Whisper and Everlasting Love on your side, make Jolene yours again!

Chill out before the year bows out with Live Music Sundays.

The Juliets, Lane Dogs, and Soulcraft on the 7th, getting lowdown with those toe-tapping, heart-starting numbers to defibrillate your soul.

Ca$hed Up on the 14th, cowpoke hats cocked and six-shooters loaded with artfully disfigured chart-toppers.

And the Lazy Crows Blues Band on the 21st, shaking the chicken shack to the ground all the afternoon long.

Icy pints down at sundown. Soothe that brow. Bring your dog. Relax and shake your tail feather.
