Country Club Lanes
2600 Watt Ave., Sacramento; (916) 483-5105; www.countryclublanes.com

Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Country Club Lanes has changed with the times. With 48 lanes of bowling, 13 42-inch plasma TVs so you can catch the game, an arcade, a laser tag arena and the venerable Candlerock Lounge, this place is much more than a bowling alley. Bowling prices range from $27 per hour per lane (graveyard hours) to $42 per hour per lane (evenings), and rumor has it that the shoes are clean, the beer’s cheap and the pizza’s not too bad.
