Sunset Terrace Restaurant & Lounge in Thousand Oaks Looks to Open Four Lane Bowling Alley

Snippet of architectural plans for the planned 4-lane addition to Sunset Terrace.

The last time a bowling alley operated in Thousand Oaks was 1995, when the 40 lane Conejo Village Bowl closed its doors. There has been talk of other alleys from time to time, but nothing has transpired.

Sunset Terrace Restaurant & Lounge at Janss Marketplace may change that, as they are in process of building a four-lane bowling alley in the 4,200 sq ft adjacent space previously occupied by Edible Arrangements and a karate studio. Let’s see if they can make this happen…stay tuned.

In other local area bowling news, as mentioned in August, Bowlero is looking to develop an alley in the former Dick's Sporting Goods in Moorpark - subject to city council approval.

They offer California cuisine, a large bar with 40 seat capacity, pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, dance floor, plenty of TV with live sports and more. Daily food and drink specials include Mat Tai Mondays, Taco Tuesdays, Waffle & Wing Wednesdays, Sushi Thursdays, NFL Game Specials and more at sunsetterracerestaurant.com/daily-specials.
