Mid-City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl is not your average bowling alley. Live bands, from New Orleans and around the world, provide the musical accompaniment for the primary activity here-dancing. Bowling is secondary, but you may find that dancing down the lane increases your score. The music might be rock, soul, zydeco, or swing. The action is cool and fun, and a few movie stars often pepper the eclectic crowd that ranges in age from 19 to 59. Except for Mondays, every night is pretty wild here. Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest are definitely the times when activity at the Rock ‘n’ Bowl reaches a fevered pitch.
