Entry No. 33 — the Philadelphia file — filed under: speakeasy

Elbow Lane at Harp & Crown

A staircase inside the modern American restaurant Harp & Crown drops down into a hidden two-lane vintage bowling alley with its own full cocktail bar and pizza menu, funky lighting, and lane reservations required to play.

The move: Book a lane for old-school two-lane bowling, split a Philly-style pizza and a round of top-shelf cocktails between frames, and stay after for a drink at the bar upstairs.
