1 / 3Tusculum Strike & Spare
📍 McMurray, TN
Tusculum Strike & Spare runs bumper bowling for young kids, Cosmic Bowling with blacklights and music, and birthday party packages for kids and teens. An authentic neighborhood alley with a solid game selection and consistent open bowling hours.
We love our local bowling alley! They always find a way to squeeze you in, even on league nights. The authenticity is what we come for. We don’t need bells and whistles, just a good place to bowl, drink some beer, and play some games. Hope this place never changes!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
A reliable neighborhood lane for families who want straightforward bowling without a theme-park price tag. Bumper lanes suit kids as young as 4. League nights dominate weekday evenings, so weekend visits or daytime weekday sessions are the best bet for open lane access. Teens especially enjoy Cosmic Bowling sessions.

“I don’t even like bowling. 😆 I went for a friends birthday. Almost cried. 10/10 bowling overall though so five stars for that. Plenty of extra games and shoe/ball sizes to choose from. 0/10 for food mishap. Tell me if I am being unreasonable? They don’t do substitutions for simple food orders and can’t ring it up? Fix that please. It was a very awkward conversation to try and pay for nachos and just have them put fries instead of chips….its more money I offered to pay even more and they wouldn’t do that? Older lady acted like it was an impossible ask…kind of condescending….idk. I just wanted cheese fries while PMSing. 😕”

Overview
Tusculum Strike & Spare is a well-established South Nashville bowling alley with a loyal local following. Bumper lanes are set up for young kids who need gutter protection, and Cosmic Bowling sessions bring blacklight effects and loud music for a party-night feel. The center runs structured birthday packages for kids and teens, and the lane count is large enough that even on busy nights staff find ways to accommodate walk-ins. Shoe and ball sizing is well stocked.
