So if you want to do something different on a Friday or Saturday night, you should definitely round up your friends and go to Knijn in the neighbourhood of the Rai in the south of Amsterdam.
Knijn officially calls it ‘Twilight bowling’ (possibly in an effort to make it sounds less kiddy), but I think that just sounds lame, so I’m sticking with discobowling. The lights are way down and the pins are lit by a blacklight. There’s a DJ, and ours last Saturday was actually not half bad, playing anything from minimal to tech house.
Downside: you won’t be able to wear your killer high heels on this occasion and there is no outfit in the world that goes with the dorky bowling shoes. But the hours just whizz by while you’re aiming for strikes and spares and you’ll be back outside before you know it, having had the greatest time.
Here are the ground rules for discobowling:
- only on Friday (2300 - 0030h) or Saturday (2330 - 0100h)
- a minimum of 4 people and a max of 7 per lane
- costs: 11,50 per person (as opposed to a fixed hourly rate per lane, which is the case for regular bowling)
