The Century Old Bowling Alley Hidden Behind Scholz Garten
Beneath the live oaks of downtown Austin sits a beloved beer garden with a hundred-year-old secret waiting in the back hall.
Right in the heart of downtown Austin at 1607 San Jacinto Blvd, Scholz Garten holds a sweet piece of Texas culture that most folks walk right past. Behind the historic beer garden sits a working, century-old six-lane bowling alley built by a German singing society in 1908.
