About Shatto 39 Lanes

Shatto 39 Lanes is a Koreatown classic, operating since 1954. The 39 lanes come with a retro-nostalgic charm, featuring vintage bowling feel, warm lighting, and lively "pins crashing" energy. The vibe is casual, friendly, and authentic. The well-maintained lanes provide a pleasant bowling experience, though serious bowlers might notice they are not factory-waxed. The billiards room and arcade corner add to the fun atmosphere. The bar serves affordably-priced drinks, and the snack bar offers classic comfort-food fare with diner charm. Pricing is reasonable, with lane rentals starting around $30/hr on weekdays before 6 pm and $40-60/hr on nights and weekends. The crowd is chill and laid-back during the day, and buzzing and social at night, especially with the bar crowd after 10 pm. The friendly staff, including bartenders and security, contribute to the welcoming vibe. While the parking space is limited, Shatto 39 Lanes is a beloved Koreatown institution that captures old-school LA bowling culture, offering entertainment, drinks, and nostalgia at a great value.
