5 Creative Ways to Host a Memorable Birthday Party at Kings

Birthdays are worth celebrating– whether you're planning a bash for your best friend, a surprise celebration for your partner, or even a party for yourself (because it’s your party and you’ll bowl if you want to!), Kings offers a one-of-a-kind experience with unforgettable style.     

Kings is not just a bowling alley– we’re an all-in-one playground of upscale fun. From state-of-the-art lanes and private karaoke to mouthwatering bites and craft cocktails, it’s the ultimate birthday party destination. Enjoy these five creative party ideas to make your celebration at Kings stand out from the rest.       

1. Strike & Sip: A Luxe Bowling Bash

Turn your birthday into a VIP bowling experience. Kings sets the stage with our sleek décor, comfy seating, and vibrant retro-modern vibe. Elevate the evening with a reserved room, table service, signature cocktails, and a curated menu brought right to your lanes or staged as a luxurious private buffet. Want to up the stakes? Host a mini bowling tournament with personalized scorecards and an amusing prize for the winner (or the biggest gutter-ball-er!).

Tip: By booking one of our private bowling suites you can create an exclusive party-within-a-party vibe allowing only a select few VIP access.

2. Game On: The Arcade Adventure Party                           

Looking for something with high energy and nostalgic flair? Take your birthday back to the golden age of gaming at Kings' arcade and game room. Set up a friendly competition with classic arcade machines, air hockey, and billiards. Offer Kings Bucks or small trophies to the high scorers to keep the momentum going.             

Mix in shareable eats like loaded nachos, wings, and sliders to fuel your arcade quest. And don’t forget the photo ops—nothing says "best birthday ever" like you and as many friends as possible shoved in a photo booth!

3. Karaoke & Cocktails: The Star-Studded Soirée

Who needs a DJ when your crew is the entertainment? Reserve a room and we’ll set up private karaoke where you and your guests can feel free to let loose with a night of belting out ballads, guilty pleasures, and top 40 hits. Add a theme (Y2K, pop divas, 80s hairbands) to really amp up the fun.

Tip: Pair your singalongs with custom Kings’ handcrafted cocktails (hello, Spicy Margarita or should we say ‘Spicy MariahCar-ita’) and personalized food platters so the party never has to hit pause.

4. Mix, Mingle & Munch: An Elevated Dinner Party

For a more refined (but still ridiculously fun) affair, plan a seated birthday dinner in Kings’ stylish bar area or semi-private dining spaces. Have everyone dress up in their formal wear and then treat your guests to an upscale menu featuring delicious comfort food—think fried brussel sprouts, boom boom shrimp, various pizzas, and decadent desserts.

Tip: Create a custom cocktail menu named after the birthday VIP and a playlist that sets the perfect mood. After dinner, migrate over to the bowling lanes or game room for a second act your guests won’t expect. (Suits pair perfectly with bowling shoes!)

5. The Ultimate Combo Party: Why Choose Just One?

Why limit yourself to just bowling or karaoke or dinner? Kings makes it easy to build your own birthday experience by combining everything. Start the evening with craft cocktails and appetizers in the lounge, roll into a few games of bowling, detour for an arcade escapade, and wrap it all up with dessert and dancing.

Let the Kings team help coordinate a multi-space progressive party where each phase of the night brings a fresh surprise. This is your chance to be extra—and we’re here for it.
