by Maria B. on I love the Kong for the simple fact that it is the best place to go at 3 am. The food is horrible, but for some reason when you come at 3 am it is the best thing I have even eaten. Hmm I wonder why? It is especially fun to get there right before the club upstairs closes to see all the drunk kids falling down the stairs into the restaurant.
by Ricardo Angevine on The reincarnation of Chelsea Piers has finally come into fruition in the form of 300. As many bowling fans know, 300 represents a perfectly bowled game. Unfortunately this bowling alley that has been open for awhile, is far from perfect. The changes have have come about are to capitalize on the hot nightlife in the area, why not doll up a bowling alley and combine it with a lounge upstairs? The transformation is a nice one, enabling this bowling alley to become a posh nightlife spot with very stylish bowling. The music is usually being spun by a DJ and there are music videos played at night, during their cosmic like bowling section. Ambiance wise the place is impressive, with one of their best nights being Tuesday nights during the Bowling Bash. The prices at the previous Chelsea Piers Bowling was super expensive and unfortunately 300 is not much different. Shoe rentals are $6.00 each, with games ranging from $8-9 during work hours and $10-11 per person. Combine that with a few cocktails and some food, the bill can get pretty hefty. Speaking of food and cocktails, the menus are obviously souped up for higher end tastes. Gone are the classic junk / bar food and in place is a variety of gourmet American New fare. What is a real nuisance is the prices aren't listed on the website, leaving most folks to be surprised when they come and see a menu in person. Sadly, no matter how much better the food looks, it still tastes as mediocre as before. In the end, most folks are here to bowl on a twist. The price that results from coming here will undoubtedly be a deterrent for many visitors. If blowing money at a bar / club is inevitable, it may be worth considering to come here for an alternative night out.
by Kathy H. on Beautiful building, great for private events, a few neat animals like sea dragons. But is it worth the headache of Atlanta traffic, paying for parking, and $37 a ticket? I don't think so, the Chattanooga Aquarium is better.
