💛 Remembering Bill Markgraff on December 18 💛

This December 18 would have been Bill’s birthday, and we want to take a moment to honor a man who meant so much to so many in our community.

Bill, or as many of us knew him, Billy Boy, had a smile that could light up the room and a heart big enough for everyone he met. He wasn’t just a regular; he was family. Nearly every day, he’d come into Liberty Lanes with that same smile and order one of his go-to meals: a Liberty Wrap with jalapeños and sweet potato fries, or a Philly Cheesesteak with jalapeños and sweet potato fries, always paired with a pint of his favorite Bodhizafa IPA.

On his birthday, we’ll be offering both of his favorite meals as a tribute special for $15 each, including the beer.
This isn’t about a promotion; it’s simply our way of sharing what he loved and giving friends and neighbors a chance to remember him together.

We realize this post comes close to the date, and we apologize for the short notice. We wanted to first speak with his partner to make sure this tribute felt right to share, given the tragic circumstances. We deeply appreciate everyone’s understanding and support.

Whether you stop in for the special, share a story, or raise a glass somewhere else, we hope everyone takes a moment that day to think of him.

You’ll always be part of this community, Billy Boy. 🍻

We have officially completed phase 1 of our bowling alley renovation!

Phase 2, the installation of the Neoverse LED wall, will take place next summer, to ensure there are no disruptions during our busy season.

Also…we have an adjustment: see below

*please read thoroughly*

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to inclusivity and community. Over the past few weeks, we’ve listened closely to the voices of families who’ve shared a desire to enjoy sports and other competitive events together in a family-friendly environment.

We recognize the unique balance our space has aimed to strike — a 21+ bar area, alongside a bowling alley free from beer signage and competitive advertising, out of respect for families who prefer a non-commercial, non-competitive atmosphere. That intention remains important to us. But we’ve also come to see that this setup has unintentionally created a barrier for others in our community.

So, we’re evolving — and excited to share what’s next.

We’re making the Bowling Alley a welcoming hub for families who want to watch and celebrate sports together.
We’ll be installing DirecTV on all TVs in the alley to broadcast a wide range of sporting events, and we’re refreshing the decor to reflect a more inviting, family-friendly sports bar feel — all while preserving the inclusive spirit our space was built on.

This is just one step forward, and we’re committed to continuing to listen and grow with the needs of our community.

Let’s create a space where everyone feels welcome — no matter what brings them in.

Day 27 - Project End:

Well, we are in the final stages of putting everything back together. We are anticipating completion this weekend. If we can’t accomplish everything before the weekend, we will be opening bowling on Tuesday for the return of family fun night!

Keep in mind* there are MANY new functional changes

Bowling has changed to a pre pay model. We have heard tons of feedback over the last year and are adjusting.

Prices have also been brought down to reflect that we will now be charging for shoe rentals. Please be conscientious of the shoes as we lost many due to carelessness or negligent behavior last year. This is a perk if you have your own shoes, bowling just got cheaper.

The machines also now have controls to restrict aggressive gameplay. Balls that are thrown too fast, too hard, slammed into bumpers, or lofted halfway down the lane will cause the lane to “tilt”, turn red, and shut off. At this point, it will notify the front counter of why and the player will be required to talk to the front desk to unlock their lane.

In addition to the new structure and functions, there are many new exciting features to ensure responsible gameplay. We cant wait to show you all! We look forward to seeing everyone at the lanes!s
