About Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill (Bowling)

Ocean-themed 16-lane bowling alley inside Bass Pro Shops at Destin Commons β€” the area's best rainy-day stop.

Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl & Grill is hands-down the most unique bowling alley on the Gulf Coast. Tucked inside Bass Pro Shops at Destin Commons, the 16 lanes are designed like you're bowling underwater β€” giant aquariums, LED wave lighting, and custom bowling balls shaped like octopus, mermaids, fish, and bobbers. It's equal parts bowling alley, ocean-themed restaurant, and arcade.

What's On Site:

  • 16 Bowling Lanes split into two 8-lane areas with bumper-lane options for kids
  • Arcade with classic and modern games β€” a ticket redemption counter for prize-chasers
  • Full-Service Restaurant with burgers, wings, seafood, and a kids menu
  • Themed Bar featuring a record 1,200-lb blue fin tuna and real hammerhead shark display
  • Billiards / Pool Tables for an alternate rainy-day plan
  • Private Party Rooms available for birthdays and group events

Pricing:

  • Per-half-hour pricing (not per game) β€” about $63 total for two adults and two kids for an hour including shoe rentals
  • Shoe rentals included in the lane price
  • Happy hour and family-night specials during the week

Pro Tips:

  • Perfect rainy-day stop β€” you can easily spend 3+ hours between bowling, food, and the arcade
  • Weekend evenings book up β€” call ahead or reserve online
  • Explore Bass Pro Shops next door after bowling β€” free fish tanks and boat displays
  • Destin Commons has 70+ other stores and AMC 14 movie theater if you want to make a full day of it
