If you’ve ever wanted to live out your Big Lebowski dreams then head to Nashville and pay a visit to Eastside Bowl. Built within a former K-Mart, Eastside Bowl is a meticulously crafted space offering food, drinks, and of course bowling. Inside the 33,000-square-foot bowling alley you’ll find a diner, lounge, arcade, and 16 lanes of classic bowling. Designed by Cowboy Creative, the bowling alley’s retro aesthetic is a nod to The Dude’s dream sequence in the 1998 Coen Brothers film. The original concrete floors have been covered with groovy graphic carpets, while the walls feature old-school wallpaper by Clint Van Gemer and glowing neon signs. An antique disco ball and the same shade of paint used by Gibson for its Gold Top guitars round out the retro vibes.
