Event space in downtown St. Louis
Unforgettable, unique private event space in downtown St. Louis, with your own lanes, bar and lounge overlooking Washington Avenue.
Parties with something to do
Flamingo Bowl offers a unique private event experience with grand views of Washington Avenue in the heart of downtown. Our striking art-deco décor creates a warm yet sleek atmosphere. Our party spaces include cozy lounge areas, a pool table (Palm Room), and state of the art bowling lanes.
We think it is the bowling aspect of our venue that takes events at Flamingo Bowl to the next level. Bowling works remarkably well as an ice-breaker, but without becoming the sole focus. Your guests will feel as if they are at several different places during the same event. They can eat, bowl a game, mingle with the crowd, or have a quiet conversation in a lounge area, seamlessly moving from one activity to the next.
We strive to facilitate any size of party and accommodate all of your group’s needs. We take pride in providing the best experience and the easiest process to get everything set up, booked, and executed.

Reviews
Soooo much fun! A gem among the bar district in downtown St. Louis. A great place for family and friends to bowl, eat, drink, or just hang out! We’ve have rented out the private event space numerous times for social and corporate events. Staff is wonderful, overly accommodating, and will go the extra mile for anything you may need. The good vibes are flowing when you walk in.
I’ve been a long time patron of this establishment since its inception. I’ve booked/utilized the main area and private room for office team building events, small birthday gatherings, large birthday gatherings, and I’ve also frequented Flamingo throughout the years. Having visited bowling venues in other cities (i.e. Strike and Spare) I totally understand the concept and core market. Even with the expected staff turnover, I ALWAYS feel welcomed. With our last party, guests from different cities (Atlanta and Chicago) all raved about the atmosphere and that darn pizza (it’s soooooo good). It made me super happy to show off a St. Louis jewel. I always recommend this place for a great time.
Organized an event with 30 people . . . The staff were was extraordinarily helpful, upbeat and amazing. Everything promised was delivered fantastically: great room attendant and bar tender, endless food, clean bathrooms, spotless facility, etc. Pool table was great! Pizza was hot, thin crust with a wide variety of toppings. Fresh salad, cheesy quesadillas, fried ravioli — a huge hit! We didn’t want to leave. Our two-hours in the Palm Room flew by. Nice, friendly staff. Clean, fun environment. Great fun. Great price. Great time. I highly recommend!
I helped organize a 3 day conference with our “social night” at Flamingo Bowl. I worked with Gabe to setup a budget and schedule and he was the consummate professional. The venue was great. Just the right size with plenty to do for everyone. Some folks took to the lanes like a bowling ball to pins, other hung out around the pool table. Our barkeep was incredibly nice and accommodating. The food was brought out at just the right time with plenty of options for everyone. If you’re looking for a nice place to hold your next shindig, Flamingo Bowl should be at the top of your list.
