At Koz's everything is mini. There are four 16-foot lanes, grapefruit-size bowling balls, and smaller than usual pins. For a bowling novice like myself, who prefers Wii-Bowling to the real thing, this place is paradise. What really sets Koz's apart, is the pinsetters. At the back of each lane, above the pins, sit the brave pinsetters who dodge flying pins and rogue balls. My favorite pinsetter is a guy named, "Peanuts," who almost lost his nose when my under-leg move failed miserably and I sent my ball up the ball return ramp. This is a dangerous job folks, so when you go, don't forget to tip your pinsetter!
Why else does it earn that "pure awesome" title? Where there is a door painted to look like "Mr. Ed" is in the bathroom, they decorate with antlers, the drinks are reasonable, PBR is on tap, and the bartenders are friendly. There is also a well stocked jukebox. I recommend bringing cash because nothing gets your bowling groove on like a 1990's power ballad.
I was told that you should take the game seriously when you are there because if you end up on their 300 club wall you get a nifty prize. I have never came close to that score, so I can't advise on that, but I would love hear what it is if any of you "strike" success.
Bottom line, Koz's Mini Bowl is a perfect mix of small dive bar, bowling alley bar and your grandparent's basement all mixed together to make one fun night out. I highly suggest calling and making a reservation because they book up fast and I don't want you to miss out on the fun!
For those of you who are questioning the title of today's post, it's from the movie The Big Lebowski. If you haven't seen it you should, if you have seen it you should probably see it again. "The Dude abides"
It's a league game, Smokey
