BD Kings Lanes carries forward the long-standing legacy of Schmidty’s Bar & Grill and Kings Lanes—now with new ownership and a fresh vision for the future. Purchased in September 2025 by Bonnie and Doug, the business remains a cornerstone of Arlington’s social and entertainment scene while introducing updates aimed at enhancing both the dining and bowling experience.
With roots in small-town values and a strong commitment to community, BD Kings Lanes is focused on serving affordable, high-quality food, maintaining a friendly and inviting environment, and expanding opportunities for bowling leagues, events, and family entertainment.
Guests can enjoy a full-service bar and grill alongside a well-maintained bowling alley, making it the perfect spot for family outings, casual nights out, league play, or group events. Plans are underway for menu updates and a grand re-opening, signaling an exciting new chapter while honoring the traditions that made this location a local favorite.
