We’re all feeling the heat and the high gas prices this summer, so here’s a great way to stay cool in Chicago. Every Tuesday between July 15 and September 9 at 10pin bowling lounge, guests can bowl for the price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline, as reported by fuelgaugereport.com. Or you can take advantage of free Happy Hour buffet offerings every weekday.

Free shoe rental and drink specials are included in the Tuesday deal, which also features a chance to ease your gasoline woes. Look for a pin with a colored head—if you throw a strike that turn, you’ll be entered in a weekly drawing for a $100 gas card. You’ll also be eligible for the “Bowling for Gas” tournament on September 9, where the bowler with the high school wins free gas for a year.

Drink specials for “Top It Off Tuesdays” include $3.50 UV Vodka cocktails and $3 Miller Lite bottles. Of course 10pin’s regular menu, featuring innovative American small plates, and the martini list will also be available.

10pin is also offering a complimentary food buffet every Monday-Friday through September 30. From 4-6 p.m., the happy hour buffet will include gourmet pizzas, barbecue wings and a taco bar. Mondays will feature gourmet pizza and bruschetta; Tuesdays will offer BBQ wings and vegetable crudité; Wednesdays include a chef’s selection of pasta, breadsticks and salad, Thursdays watch for mini-burgers and pasta salad, and Fridays create a meal with the a build-your-own taco bar and chips and salsa.

 Offerings change daily, but go very well with the lounge’s drink menu. Grab a 10pintini with Absolut Raspberri and pomegranate juice, or browse the venue’s exciting beer and martini list.

10pin bowling lounge is located at 33 N. State St., next to the House of Blues in Marina City and features 20,000 sq. ft. of upscale alley excitement. Call for reservations at 312-644-0300 or visit 10pinchicago.com for more information.
