Football-bowling mashup 'Fowling' arrives in Atlanta

ATLANTA - It’s a mashup of bowling and football, with a dash of cornhole thrown in for good measure — and even though we’re terrible at all of those games, the Good Day feature team couldn’t pass up the chance to be among the first in Atlanta to go Fowling!

Fowling Warehouse Atlanta is currently on-track for a February opening, becoming the fourth Fowling Warehouse location following those in Hamtrack, Michigan (the original, which opened its doors in December of 2014), Grand Rapids and Cincinnati.  

Atlanta’s own Fowling Warehouse is located at 1356 English Street NW, inside a 25,000-square foot space with a restaurant, bar, and plenty of televisions on which to watch sports.

And speaking of sports…let’s talk Fowling.  As you can probably imagine, Fowling was discovered “by accident” during a tailgating party for the Indianapolis 500.  Described as “the original football bowling pin game,” the objective is simple — to knock down your opponent’s pins before they knock down yours.  And how do you do that?  By throwing a football, of course.  The football is thrown back and forth down a single lane by players on each team until one side’s pins have all been knocked down.

Fowling might sound easy, but trust us — it takes real skill to win. And how do we know that? Because we spent the morning at Fowling Warehouse Atlanta engaged in an insanely competitive battle for bragging rights!
