I stopped by Java Lanes today, and they have nothing out of the ordinary going for Saturday night.... ever since the city revoked their entertainment license, they can't even play recorded music there! There's been an ongoing political battle regarding the bowling alley for the past 3 yrs... the city wants to tear it down for a school district vehicle storage yard..!

So, other than the most awesome cantilever A-frame entry & the googie bowling sign (you can see it in the distance in the pic, directly under the A-frame), there's nothing too exciting about the place any more. Even their Java Lounge, one of Long Beach's best band venues, is reduced to karaoke, that has to cease by 9pm.

So, if you're up for it, its good for bowling and gawking at the entry, else if ya want the excitement of Rock-n-Bowl or something like that, we better plan on some place else.
