I’ve mentioned Plaza Bowl’s impending doom before and truthfully I had thought the last day had come and gone. Friday was the last day and you can duckpin no more. The owner posted the video above and I thought it was a nice way to end this Southside chapter.
I think we all knew this moment was coming when we say this post that said the business was up for sale. From Facebook; Well, it looks like this will be the last show at Plaza Bowl. So while it will be bittersweet, let’s help the place go out with a bang! Come on out, [...]
Just saw this on Plaza Bowl Facebook; Hey tonight and Sat night we are celebrating the Royal Wedding, with a Royal Wedding bowling party, ladies wear a tiara, and guys wear a goofy red suit, and bowl for free! also $5.00 PBR Pitchers.
I’m hoping that a new owner comes along and really breathes some life into Plaza Bowl. My attempt to purchase it was shut down by the Hills and Heights Finance Department and the hard cold bite of reality. Own the entire Richmond areas only Duckpin Bowling Alley, business is turnkey with 20 lanes and everything [...]
Since we posted a picture of Southside Plaza in it’s glory days it is only fair that we give a shout to a business that is still there and trying revive the area with live music. After a short break Plaza Bowl is back strong with live shows. Tonight they will have Parlour Shakedown and [...]
Recently I’d noticed a lack of live music being advertised for Plaza Bowl. When asked about it Plaza Bowl responded, “We hope to have more live bands again in the near future, but for right now weve just been focusing our attention on our core business, bowling.” I sent an inquiry into Tiffany Community Chest [...]
I realize that a lot of you, myself included, are heading to some other minor music thingy tonight but these guys are great fun. They will be rocking the bowl tonight at 8:00 p.m and tickets are $10. There are two opening bands, Pinche Gringo and Venus Throw.
Richmond Magazine’s annual Best/Worst of Richmond has been on the newstands for a little bit and I finally got around to getting a copy. Nice to see the following H&H representatives getting some kudos from fellow Richmonders. Kathy Graziano was voted Future Mayor and tied for first as Best Local Public Servant. Barry Bless was [...]
Cost is $5 at Plaza Bowl 523 E Southside Plaza show starts around 8 p.m.
From the Plaza Bowl Duckpin Bowling Facebook Page; We have a fun Summer Bowling League starting this thurs night May 27th at 7pm-10pm the league runs for 10 weeks, we still need a few more teams of 3 people or just some individuals to fill in some teams. So if you want to join just [...]
I thought this show would be sold out but just got word that they do have tickets available. I don’t get out to shows as much as I wish but we have a sitter and will be hitting the Plaza Bowl tonight. I recommend you do the same. Tickets are $12 at the door. Check [...]
The owner of Plaza Bowl is opening his doors to allow a fund raising/awareness event to benefit Ring Dog Rescue! We’ll have live local bands donating their time and talent to the cause as well as bowling, dogs!!!!, beer, delicious concession food, and some enticing giveaways! Bands include: Microjoy – The Nervous Ticks – One [...]
A sample of their music and remember it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.
I am a big fan of Plaza Bowl and happy to see Richmond BizSense.com ask them some questions. They say there is a slideshow but I can’t see it in my browser. RBS: What’s your goal for Plaza Bowl? JS: The facility itself is pretty old, so we’ll continue to upgrade fixtures. The first thing [...]

Show starts at 8:00 and I am hearing from Facebook that it is an all ages show. Sorry I don’t have ticket price information. I will be enjoying New Year’s Eve at Chez Couch featuring the wonderful band Cable TV.
Snow is not powerful enough to stop Rock and Roll. The show planned for tonight is still going to happen (or at least that is what I am being told). The band that shall be rocking are: – Emily Stine Band – View From the Top – Reid Madgette. Show starts at 8:00. Enjoy. I’ll [...]
Richmond is in for a treat as Shonen Knife plays at Plaza Bowl. This band is great and you’re not going to find a band like them in RVA. Go to this show. Also playing but under my radar (doesn’t take much) Hex Machine, Hot Lava, and Jeff the Brotherhood. Show starts at 8 p.m. [...]
also performing will be EL PRESIDENTE and SYNVIOUS. I don’t have the ticket price.
Many folks (myself included) see a run down strip mall when they go past Southside Plaza but that may not be the whole story. Today’s Style Weekly has a different viewpoint. The main focus is the grocery store Farmer’s Foods and manager Rodney Saunders. Saunders brought back the shuttle service for which Community Pride was [...]
