Neon Nights: Bowling After Dark

Neon Nights: Bowling After Dark is back at Dave & Buster's Desert Ridge on Saturday, October 17, starting at 9 PM. It's part of a weekly series that runs every Saturday night, so if you miss this one, there's another one the following weekend.

The setup is exactly what the name suggests: they dim the lights and let the neon take over. The lanes glow, the music stays up, and the whole place shifts into a late-night energy that's a far cry from a casual afternoon game. It's built for a group that wants to hang out after the usual dinner and drinks crowd has cleared out.

One thing to keep in mind before you head over: this is strictly for the over-21 crowd. You'll need to show your ID at check-in, so don't leave it at home. The session runs for up to 90 minutes, which is plenty of time to get through a few games without it dragging into the early morning hours.

It's an easy night to put together—grab a few friends, show up at Dave & Buster's Desert Ridge at 21001 N. Tatum Blvd in Phoenix, and pay $10 per person at the door. That covers your bowling for up to 90 minutes, and since it's a weekly thing, you can make a habit of it or just drop in for one Saturday.
