The Poopable staff went bowling at a historic Milwaukee bowling alley that’s welcomed poopers since 1915
We’ve had several reviews from my trip with the Poo Poo President to “The Good Land” of Milwaukee, but our last stop on our trip led us to a historic venue.
Falcon Bowl is the longest-running bowling alley in the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that has been entertaining drinkers, bowler, and poopers since 1915. In the Riverwest neighborhood, it’s an unassuming location with a lot to offer, with a welcoming bar (with a commode) and a basement bowling alley with its own bathroom (which I was able to utilize while bowling the best game of my life).
Old-School Bowling and an inexpensive tab might lead to some pooping emergencies
For someone based in a major city (not saying that Milwaukee doesn’t provide all the amenities of a major city, they just do it much more affordably) when we closed our tab we were shocked at the cost.
Two games of bowling for our staff for just $20? Two dollar shoe rentals? Inexpensive drinks? This was heaven.
Now, I haven’t bowled in about five years. And I usually have a pattern. (Keep in mind, I am in no way a good bowler.) I start around 100 in my first game. If I get triple digits? I’m thrilled!
Then I get more and more lazy and lackadaisical. Normally, if I play two rounds on a good day, the scores will read 101, then 59. But, not to brag…
That’s right. 154! Take that Poo Poo Presidente! (He scored the 73).
Over the course of an hour and a half of bowling, after a day of tiki cocktails, beer, cheese curds and bratwurst (all Midwestern essentials) you might find the need to use your break before bowls to, well, empty your bowels.
Which led me to the dangerous but efficient bathroom of the Falcon Bowl.
You might have seen the “Watch Your Step” sign on the front of the men’s room door, and they weren’t kidding. After drinks, carbs, cheese and meat while enjoying a refreshing beverage, you might still be surprised from the sharp 6-inch drop immediately entering this cozy bathroom stall.
With “can’t miss” urinals, a bathroom stall, and a stool for good measure if you happen to stumble too aggressively trying to take care of business, this bathroom is pristine for one that’s been utilized for over a hundred years.
Is Falcon Bowl Poopable?
Absolutely! Not only was the bathroom odor-free and (outside of a potentially dangerous first step) user-friendly, this bar and bowling alley lets you enjoy yourself (just make sure you know how to score your own games!) and know your needs can be well attended.
It was a fitting ending to the Poopable’s road trip to Milwaukee, and a reminder that while there are many kinds of bathrooms you encounter, even the oldest ones still serve their purpose.
Also, again, not to brag (I’m bragging). 154. Take that Poo Poo Presidente!
