Best Hangout - for fun recreation AND the only bowling in Boulder!

The Connection games room on the first floor is THE place on campus for fun things to do with friends and family, or to simply relax with some food and beverage! It has the only bowling alley in Boulder with 10 lanes, plus 8 regulation-size billiard tables, pinball, foosball, air hockey, video games and more! We have a collection of classic and new arcade games and free Wii. Come watch sports on our HDTV’s or compete in our poker tournaments.

The Connection has a tasty selection of food, drinks and select beers, or you can order food from the UMC Food Court and Domino's Pizza to enjoy while you bowl, play pool, and hang out with friends. Usually open late night, it's close to public transportation and CU NightRide for CU students, staff and faculty.

The Connection is open to the general public with all these fun recreation options ... and it can also be reserved as a party venue for all ages. Our bowling lanes are special needs and limited mobility accessible, and we can provide quick-set bumpers, so bowling can be a fun and rewarding activity for everyone! 

Play on Some of the Best Pool Tables in Town!
The Connection was voted runner up for Best Pool Tables in Colorado Daily's CU & Boulder's BEST 2011
