The smoke filled atmosphere is a definite turn-off for bowling families and asthmatics. Also the lanes proximity to the UNC campus and its popularity with the local high schools often results in a crowded and boisterous environment. That said, Columbine Lanes is a great place for an informal date or handing out with friends. The last chance to check out this hidden little bowling hangout will be this weekend. The doors open at 2pm on Friday and 1pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Columbine stays open until the patrons head home.
Columbine Lanes sister establishment Classic Lanes at 2425 8th avenue behind the Taco Bell will thankfully remain open.
