Retro-inspired bowling alley and lounge in Midtown OKC with lanes, burgers, cocktails, draft beer, and 1970s-style vibes from the McNellie's Group.
Dust Bowl Lanes & Lounge in Midtown OKC — Retro Bowling, Bar Food & Cocktails
Dust Bowl Lanes & Lounge is a retro-inspired tribute to 1970s bowling alleys and lounges, operated by the McNellie's Group at 421 NW 10th St in Oklahoma City's Midtown Building. It pairs classic lane rentals with a full food menu, draft beer, cocktails, and a lounge atmosphere built for groups, date nights, and late weekends.
Why Dust Bowl Stands Out
Unlike a standard bowling alley, Dust Bowl leans into nostalgia — neon-era energy, a serious bar program, and kitchen fare that goes well beyond concession-stand pizza. It is one of the few places in OKC where you can book lanes, order Nashville-style chicken poppers, and stay for cocktails without feeling like you outgrew the experience.
