Established in 1947 by Louis Marino, Grandview Bowling Lanes is a historic landmark on Commercial Drive, remaining a family-owned staple for three generations. For over 75 years, it has served as the neighborhood’s go-to social hub, maintaining an authentic, retro atmosphere that perfectly captures the eclectic and independent spirit of East Vancouver. From its vintage neon signage to its storied local leagues, "Grandview Lanes" is more than an alley—it is a vital piece of the community's living history.
The facility features 20 lanes of excitement, offering both traditional 10-pin and the Canadian classic 5-pin bowling. Customers can enjoy modern updates like computerized scoring and Glow-in-the-Dark lanes alongside original Brunswick "Gold Crown" equipment for a truly nostalgic experience. Whether you are hosting a birthday party, joining a competitive league, or simply looking for a fun night out with pizza and beer, Grandview Lanes provides an affordable, family-friendly destination in the heart of the Drive.
