Sometimes you've just got to treat yourself to life's simple pleasures.  Delicious food, great music, strong drinks, and bowling, yes, bowling.  Lucky for us Tampa folk, we've got Splitsville to satisfy each and every one of these desires.

Located smack dab in the middle of the Channelside complex, Splitsville is an upscale take on the old bowling experience you probably remember.  No questionably smelly shoes or cardboard pizza here, Splitsville prides themselves on class serving up first-class cuisine from sushi to pizza, mahi mahi, and everything in between.

As for the drinks, Splitsville does it big with big bowl drinks like the beach bowl and the aloha bowl perfect for you and your closest drinking buddies.

And, of course, the bowling; bring some friends and bowl a few games while you guys work on that big bowl drink of yours or finish up on your food.  Games typically cost anywhere from $4.95 to $5.95 per person depending on the night and shoe rental is always $2.95.  If you want to make sure you get a lane, be sure to book in advance by calling Splitsville (813-514-2695) or making a reservation on their website here.  Billiards are also avaible.

There's no cover at Splitsville, but evening-casual attire is encouraged on Fridays and Saturdays after 10 p.m. just like many clubs in and around Channelside.  Dress to impress, but suits and ties aren't required or anything like that.

While bowling is typically kid-friendly, the unique, nightlife atmosphere at Splitsville makes it, well, not the best option for kids, especially at night.  Entry to Splitsville is limited to those 21 and up after 8 p.m.  Those 18 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

So, indulge, head down to Channelside, and enjoy some great food, drinks, music, and bowling in a way only Splitsville can provide.
