There was no A-frame bowling alley. It was a long building sort of nondescript on the outside. There was a bar inside the bowling alley that was a mix of Tiki and iron gates that reminded me of Spanish gallon type decor that was common in the 50s-early 60s. As I recall it was more Spanish Gallon then Tiki. Here's just a slip of a photo of the Paradise Theater that shows Paradise Bowling right next to it. The photo is from early 50s right when the Theater was due to open.
