    This hidden gem of a sports team is just what we need to highlight in Indy. These ladies are…read moreamazing-scrapping and skating through the Fairgrounds and showing us just how strong women can be. It's a very casual atmosphere, withstands to sit in or you can choose to sit around at the Derby Circle. Beware, because you may get a little more action than you hoped for if sitting around the circle! Each bout features two teams: the Warning Belles & the Tornado Sirens. Each team jams for about 40 minutes with an intermission. There are some concessions available including Sun King beer. Most bouts revolve around a theme, like the popular Star Wars night usually held in May. This is a kid friendly and super fun atmosphere that you need to check out.

    Do you think that you've seen every thing that Indy has to offer in sports? My guess is probably…read morenot. They say that Indy is the Amateur Sports Capital of the world with every thing from soccer, baseball, basketball, ultimate freebie, and even a roller derby team. The Naptown Roller Girls consist of varying levels of skill, the Tornado Sirens, the Warning Belles, and the Third Alarm, but don't let that fool you. These girls give it their all on the track. The level of skill, strategy, and teamwork that is needed for this is amazing, especially considering how fast paced the bouts can get. If your new to the sport, you shouldn't feel intimidated. The program that they provide details the objective of the sport, as well as explains how they score. During one of the bouts that I attended, prior to the first team taking the track, they had an example run on the track to explain the rules. The announcers do a good job as the bout goes on as well of explaining was goes on. They are also pretty funny and try to fill the dead time. The atmosphere of the bouts is one thing that everyone should at least experience once. The dedicated fans bring excitement to the bouts.The roller girls themselves are very friendly and are just as dedicated to their fans as the fans are to them. The bouts have tended to bounce between the Marsh Blue Ribbon Pavilion and Indiana Convention Center this past season. Ticket prices are generally cheaper if you purchase them prior to a bout; however, you can get them day of. I highly recommend seeing the Naptown Roller Girls in action, just don't go with the exceptions of seeing Whip-its and full body slamming contact. Also, make sure to get to a bout early to secure good seating.

    After reserving lanes for a birthday at a different bowling spot just to show up and find out that…read morethey didn't have lanes available for us, we were super bummed. Found this place on google and drove right on over. We were helped by Clyde. He was super friendly and attentive! We had an amazing time. Will be returning, highly recommend. So happy we ended up at Beech Grove Bowl!

    First time and last time here! Racial profiling (check) bad customer service (check) jerks (check)…read morecame here about 2 AM as it's a 24 hour bowling alley. Walked in and immediately got the vibes hmm we're probably not welcome here mind you it's 4 of us and one of us were white. From the cop to the workers everyone was acting weird. I had some water in my purse it was Saratoga so I can see how someone unfamiliar with the brand would think it's something else he told me I can't drink outside drinks in the establishment I said it's just water and tried to show him he said again no outside beverages...I continued to drink it because it's WATER you can't tell me not to drink water. I spent over $20 on their version of a touch tunes music system and they kept turning all my songs down. TF is that about? All the music was edited and it's 2 in the morning with no music playing at a 24 hour bowling alley. The final straw was one of the workers coming over and telling one of my friends "the orange ball was for women and children only"...MIND YOU none of us ever grabbed this ball to bring to our lane it was already there! Literally was one thing after the other my friend who drove said let's go we didn't even play our entire hour.
