I had such a fun and unexpected night the other day that I just had to share this spot with all of you. Notre Dame des Quilles is quite humble but original and with a fun crowd. Food, drinks, good music and bowling! Need I say more?
Some friends and I were in the Little Italy district and decided to hang out there before heading back south to the Plateau. Between a bourbon and a pint of ale, we had a go at this forgotten game. There used to be quite a lot of alleys in Montreal. In this case, the owners decided to transform a space into a trendy and hip resto-bar. An existing and old bowling lane was split in two, giving daring customers some extra fun time. Let's just say that drinks and bowling pins don't always match.
