At the heart of the Athletic Performance Factory, Diamond Plate Pub & Eatery has introduced an entirely new way for guests to unwind, compete, and connect. With the installation of two sleek Funk duckpin bowling lanes, complete with state-of-the-art Nexus scoring, the venue has transformed its atmosphere from casual dining to a dynamic social destination.
This new spot to grab great food and drinks is now a full-fledged entertainment hub where families, athletes, and friends can gather for spirited fun long after the final whistle.
A Compact, High-Energy Entertainment Upgrade
As part of the Athletic Performance Factory campus, Diamond Plate Pub & Eatery serves a wide audience: youth athletes, weekend tournament crowds, adult leagues, traveling families, and local regulars. The owners saw an opportunity to elevate the dining experience by introducing an attraction that fit seamlessly within their footprint while offering the same game-day energy guests already love.
Funk’s two-lane duckpin installation delivered exactly that. Engineered for performance and built with a compact layout, the lanes fit naturally into the venue’s design without sacrificing gameplay quality. Because duckpin bowling uses smaller balls and shorter lanes, guests of all ages can jump in instantly. No warm-up, no intimidation, just pure fun from the first roll.
Paired with Funk Nexus scoring, the lanes offer an experience that feels polished, immersive, and unmistakably modern. Touchscreen controls, themed game modes, and cloud-connected features help keep gameplay fresh and intuitive for both seasoned bowlers and first-time guests.
Why Duckpin Bowling Lanes Belong in Today’s Hospitality Venues
Diamond Plate Pub & Eatery is a perfect example of how more restaurants, bars, and mixed-use entertainment venues are turning to duckpin bowling lanes as a way to stand out. Duckpin brings the excitement of traditional bowling into a smaller, more social format, making it ideal for venues that want to maximize both space and guest engagement.
For operators, the benefits go far beyond entertainment value. Duckpin bowling is low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and durable. All of these elements are especially important for high-traffic hospitality environments. Compared with traditional pinsetters, Funk’s systems require less staffing, fewer repairs, and less downtime, giving operators more consistent revenue opportunities and a smoother day-to-day operation.
Most importantly, duckpin bowling transforms a visit from a quick bite into a lingering experience. Guests stay longer, order more, and return often, turning dining spaces into lively social hubs that blend food, laughter, and friendly competition.
