X Lanes

The holy grail of arcade games and bowling, X Lanes in Little Tokyo is a virtual paradise for mixed-gender hang sessions. Our only complaint: not enough air hockey tables. If you're looking for a high-energy club vibe without the aimless standing around, plus the added exhilaration of 24 Lanes of LED-Lit Bowling, this is your sanctuary. With over 100 arcade games, a 9-table billiard room and karaoke ('90s power ballads, anyone?), there is no shortage of entertainment for your geek squad to feast on. And speaking of feasting, X Lanes also has a restaurant and full sports bar, because bowling while buzzed is highly amusing, and karaoke to Alanis Morissette after three vodkas is the stuff memories are made of. For large parties, you may want to make reservations ahead of time, as lanes do fill up quickly. Order a round of mozzarella sticks, bogart the Dance, Dance Revolution, and make a night of it, you crazy kids.
