And all those games take up a lot of room.

I'm sure that is part of the consideration.

This would probably take up too much room here, but we did duckpin bowling in Cleveland this summer and it was a blast. I think that would be a great fit somewhere in town.

I've done this somewhere in Texas, it is a lot of fun and takes up a lot less room than a traditional alley.

Congrats to them for sticking through this construction. Once the area fills in with the hundreds of residents, this will be an easy spot for locals.

Both would be great, but I'd think Skee-Ball would be a liability with those balls and drinking, some people cant act right and ruin everyone's fun.

They have them at Kong's. Plenty of drinking and balling there though I haven't heard of any issues.

Duckpin bowling would be friggin' awesome. This variant that the place quoted (and others) isn't quite the same thing, though: for all practical purposes, duckpins are played on the same lanes as tenpins (your "normal" pins), with free falling pins. Logistical and budgetary issues with machines over the years have led to the creation of a string type pinsetter, which is actually permitted under some rulesets of smallpin bowling played in Canada (years ago, four "rubberband duckpin" lanes were installed at Lake Tenkiller's clubhouse, which didn't last long IIRC. These were the type that is very popular in Quebec, with the pins on strings).

There's a few of these types of places throughout the US, usually with out of spec equipment as described. It's absolutely a blast, but it would be a neat thing to somehow establish the real duckpin bowling out here, which is a dying sport in the Mid-Atlantic—heck, actual tenpin bowling has declined in popularity.

Maybe some mini amusement type lanes could be a thing, like they have at Incredible Pizza and at this day care in Quail Springs, so I saw on a circular. All these things take space, though.

Skee-Ball would be nice; preferably the type without the hundred-holes. I miss those sawdust balls, but the existing supplies are incredibly expensive and would no doubt be stolen.

Does Flashback have a kitchen? Or serve any food at all?

No.

But, you can carry in food or Joey's Pizza will deliver.

Pretty sure they keep Joey's menus at the bar to aid in ordering without having to leave.
