Since Heid's Bowling Lanes frowns upon beer on its freshly-waxed lanes, head next door to Heid Away Café if you want to keep your beer in your non-dominant bowling hand all night. Free Wii is always available on the café's big screen TV, which is attached to and under the same ownership as the bowling alley. Get your fill of beer or mixed drinks here or order up a plate of crispy chicken tenders, piping hot jalepeno poppers, golden-fried onion rings. In the warmer months, patrons gather on the fenced-in patio to smoke, drink or play a friendly cornhole game. Happy hour is from 4-8 p.m. weekdays, and Friday night karaoke and DJ-spun jams on Friday and Saturday nights make up the Heid Away weekend soundtrack.
