ORLANDO, FL – KINGS, the pioneering Boston-based, Dining, Bowling & Entertainment venue that kindled the "Boutique" Bowling Revolution in 2003 will open its first Florida location in early 2013 in the "I-Drive Live" project on Orlando's world famous entertainment corridor International Drive.
KINGS Bowl first opened their doors in 2003 in the heart of Boston’s historic Back Bay. KINGS’ goal was to focus on recapturing and rekindling the fun and escape of bowling which had faded since its heyday. The 1950's and 1960's are considered to be the golden age of bowling and KINGS’ award winning design and décor captures the nostalgic feeling while adding modern twists to everything they do. From the start, KINGS set out to create a unique and memorable entertainment experience by emphasizing world class food, cold beer, creative cocktails, cutting edge technology and great music. They focus on classic, retro-inspired décor and Executive-Chef designed menus brought to life by best-in-industry service. In doing so, KINGS pioneered the modern day bowling renaissance and carved a name for itself as the original "boutique bowling" which has revitalized the sport across America.
Early in 2013, KINGS will open its doors on Orlando’s world famous International Drive, offering a dining and entertainment experience unmatched by the veritable melting pot of destinations that span the world renowned tourist hotspot. In addition to 22 ten-pin bowling lanes, KINGS will offer full-sized billiards tables, a regulation-sized shuffleboard table, a full outdoor bocce ball court, nightly disc jockeys, dancing and much more. Beer enthusiasts who have dreamed of tending bar will take great delight in innovative and engaging tables fitted with beer taps where they can pour the perfect pint at their own pace.
“Bowling has always been a great social sport and Kings has reinvented the experience for a new generation,” says Patrick Lyons, president and founder of the Lyons Group and Kings Bowl America. “Serious ten-pin athletes will relish our ultramodern lanes and roomy player accommodations, while even the most ‘gutter-prone’ will appreciate our chef’s delicious fare and our thoughtful menu of craft beers and signature cocktails.”
From the moment they set foot in KINGS, guests will know that they are in for an experience unlike any other. A hip, retro-inspired vibe and grooving soundtrack will greet them as they navigate between a friendly evening at the lanes, great food in the restaurant and socializing in KINGS’ lounge bar that translates to an open outdoor café experience on the stylish, full-service patio. Committed sports fans can catch all of the action at KINGS’ massive sports bar boasting 60 HDTV’s and projectors and a real-time sports ticker. Guests can also take in the scene on the energetic concourse catching all the action happening throughout the expansive facility.
The full-service KINGS restaurant will serve an impressive, Executive Chef designed menu of American favorites and delicious comfort food. Appetizers include unique, modern plays on classic bar fare such
as cheeseburger spring rolls, perfectly fried mac & cheese bites and homemade buffalo chicken wontons. Entrees are highlighted by house-smoked baby back ribs, juicy and creative burgers and their signature, tender, award-winning steak tips. Diners will finish their meal with a taste of sweet nostalgia from the built-in Ice Cream Shoppe featuring creative sundaes and delicious homemade desserts. KINGS makes it known that the preconception of bad food at bowling joints is a thing of the past as everything is carefully crafted, made fresh and delivered daily. The impressive menu is served throughout the entire facility until close seven days a week.
“I look at every dish on the menu and I think of ways to make it even better than people would expect by sourcing only the finest ingredients and adding a ‘kick’ to every dish,” says Executive Chef Andre Bautista. “We pride ourselves on everything being made from scratch, in-house daily and making sure that each and every plate has a ‘wow-factor’”.
In addition to the food and entertainment, KINGS is well known for their special events and parties. The venue will boast multiple jaw-dropping private bowling and meeting spaces complimented by state-of-the-art audio and visual capabilities. Party goers can bowl while enjoying an assortment of upscale culinary delights served right to the lanes and the best-in-industry service that has already made KINGS a repeat destination for so many in other regions. Birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, kids parties, corporate and team building parties are all made memorable with the unique combination of entertainment, great food and unforgettable service.
KINGS is committed to being an actively engaged member of the Orlando community and has pledged to work with community-based initiatives in an effort to raise money through “fun-raisers” and in-kind donations. KINGS has already made a philanthropic name for itself up north, having hosted and raised millions for local charities attended by the likes of popular celebrities and athletes including former and current NBA stars Shaquille O’Neal, Glen “Big Baby” Davis, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, Patriots Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Jerod Mayo, Bears captain Charles Tillman, and BC and NFL legend Doug Flutie. KINGS will immediately look to make a similar impact in the Orlando area. Other famous guests at Kings include Lady Gaga, Adam Sandler, Seth MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg and many more of music and Hollywood’s finest.
KINGS will also assure that locals and members of the Orlando hospitality industry are treated like VIP’s on the traditionally tourist-heavy International Drive. From opening, the local and industry crowd will receive a free loyalty card that will provide the benefits of seasonally rotated exclusive specials and discounts. KINGS has also planned a private opening party to offer an exclusive reveal of the venue to Orlando residents and hospitality industry members.
