the many wonders of San Pablo Ave, vol.2

This time we venture to Berkeley’s northern neighbor Albany to another aptly named spot, Albany Bowl, for a little Monday night bowling.

Unfortunately I could only watch due to my mangled paw, but this place was packed with every kind of person for me to oggle and take sneaky pictures of. Not only is it $1.25 a game, but you can have pitchers of beer and an assortment of fried foods delivered to your lane, and they are open until 2 am! If you can tolerate blasting top 20 hits and hoards of giggling teens, this is a pretty fun way to spend an evening on a budget.

couldn't agree more

So I drank and cheered on my uninjured pals through a few games before we headed across the street to a once dive-y bar, The Hotsy Totsy, of which an elaboration will have to wait for another day.

Ah, San P…what other adventures await me?
