From their web site I just learned that they used the restaurant and bar for scenes in the movie "The Darwin Awards". I called their number and someone answered and confirmed its closure. He said they may be able to find a buyer who can reopen it but it doesn't look likely. Yet another bowling alley gone. :cry:
