Tickets include six drinks (one designated drink at each bar) and additional drink specials.

Bowling on Valentine's Day is a brilliant and very different way to spend the night if you are single or part of a couple. A DJ will be spinning tunes from the '80s, '90s and now and a professional photographer will be on site. Food and drink will be available for purchase throughout the night and both singles and couples are welcome. Rose-colored table games (courtesy of the Sacramento Princess Book Club) will be part of the festivities all night and will include pool, dominos and card games.
