Madison, Indiana, just got a whole lot more exciting. After nearly eight years without a bowling alley, the city is now home to Vintage Lanes, an eight-lane duckpin bowling destination with an upscale wine bar, all housed in a stunningly restored 19th-century building. Whether you’re looking for a fun night out with friends, a relaxed family-friendly activity, or an elevated date night experience, Vintage Lanes offers a little something for everyone.
Located in the heart of Madison’s historic downtown district, Vintage Lanes isn’t just about bowling—it’s about bringing the past and future together. The 6,000-square-foot space was originally a hotel, and after a meticulous restoration by Matt and Daniel Chandler, it now boasts two floors of duckpin bowling with state-of-the-art amenities.
Beyond its nostalgic charm, technology plays a big role here. Guests can reserve lanes online, place contactless food and drink orders via QR codes, and enjoy a seamless experience that blends convenience with old-school fun. This cashless venue accepts all major credit and debit cards, as well as digital wallets, making it easy to enjoy a night out without the hassle.
What makes Vintage Lanes stand out? The upscale wine bar. Featuring a curated selection of world-class wines, craft beers, bourbons, and zero-proof cocktails, it’s an unexpected bonus that elevates the entire experience. Pair your drink with a delicious charcuterie board, and suddenly, you’ve got a perfectly balanced night of fun and sophistication.
And there’s even more to look forward to! In the summer of 2025, Vintage Lanes will unveil a rooftop terrace, offering panoramic views of Madison’s historic district and the Ohio River—an ideal spot to sip on fine wine while taking in the sights.
Vintage Lanes is more than a bowling alley—it’s a destination. Madison’s Director of Economic Development, Tony Steinhardt, praised the Chandlers for their ability to integrate modern amenities with historic preservation without losing the area’s authenticity. Their previous project, The Chandler Hotel, was Indiana’s first fully contactless hotel, and now, they’re redefining entertainment in Madison.
Guests staying at The Chandler Hotel also get a 15% discount on duckpin bowling when reserving online, making it an even better reason to plan a trip.
Vintage Lanes is open:
Wednesday & Thursday: 4 PM – 9 PM
Friday & Saturday: 12 PM – Midnight
Sunday: 12 PM – 9 PM
(Closed Mondays & Tuesdays)
