    About Fowling Warehouse™

    What is Fowling? It’s the Original Football Bowling Pin Game

    When you’re as obsessed with bowling as you are football, how do you decide between them? You don’t—you play both at the same time. It’s a special place where people get together to have fun, share a few drinks and enjoy the game.

    Football + Bowling + Bar = Fowling Warehouse

    We have over 32,000 square feet located next to the Farmers Market and within walking distance of Target Center, Target Field, and other top venues, Fowling is the perfect stop before or after any event. Whether it’s a small gathering or a major blowout, creating an unforgettable experience will be simple. From 2 to over 650 people, we’ve got you covered!

    Plenty of seating and space for you, friends, families and corporate outings!
