Upscale bowling alley could be rolling into Scott’s Addition soon
River City Roll, a 25,000-square-foot bowling complex, is on the horizon on North Boulevard near the Cookie Factory Lofts.
An upscale bowling experience could be rolling into Scott’s Addition soon, according to a story Richmond BizSense first broke this morning. You could liken the facility to the posh Uptown Alley in Midlothian, with restaurant-quality food and cocktails and an upscale interior–but much smaller. It’s the latest entertainment option planned for Richmond’s fastest growing neighborhood, and it could be open by next year.
From BizSense:
To be called River City Roll, the $5 million project is planned for a 2-acre plot at 939 Myers St., a block east of the Boulevard across from Scott’s Addition. The 25,000-square-foot facility would include 150 parking spaces and replace a pair of dilapidated storage buildings on the site.
Long, a St. Christopher’s School and UVA alumnus who moved back to Richmond in 2014, said he came across the so-called boutique bowling concept – alleys with fewer lanes and an emphasis on high-end food and finishes – in bigger cities while working debt capital raises for some of the country’s largest corporations.
