Overview

About This Establishment

The Rose Bowl in Montrose is an energy-rich cafe and cocktail lounge wrapped around bowling lanes and arcades. The Chicken BBQ Pizza carries a crisp crust with smoke-kissed toppings, while the Big Lebowski pie adds a robust cheese pull. Gutter-Ball Cheeseburger and Ten Pin Nachos provide crunchy, hearty bites as the crowd grooves to the arcade buzz. This is not a quiet dining room—it’s a playful, family-friendly hangout with a dash of cocktail lounge chic.
