Great cities have great neighborhoods, and although Orlando is known primarily for its plethora of theme parts, it’s also home to a number of neighborhoods and districts with unique personalities.
One is the Milk District, the small area west of Orlando Executive Airport and east of the downtown area. Its roots are traced to 1925 when T.G. Lee and his wife Elizabeth opened a dairy farm on 20 acres of land. The dairy is still there today and has evolved into a diverse community of small businesses, restaurants and bars.
Among them: Primrose Lanes Restaurant and Bowling Club, located on the site formerly occupied by Colonial Lanes, a 32-lane center that opened in 1959. Colonial Lanes had closed its doors and sold to a self-storage developer, and was on the verge of being torn down until Team Market Group stepped in to purchase the building from the developer and save a slice of the neighborhood.
Because of work already completed by the developer, only eight of the center’s lanes remained. Those have been retained and the demolished lanes have been repurposed to honor the building’s past.
Guests may bowl at a per-person/per-hour rate while noshing on nibbles like hash brown bites with smoked trout caviar and garlic crema, munching wedge or kale Caesar salads with chicken or chilled shrimp add-ons, lunching on a smoked turkey BLT with Dijonnaise, or dining on short rib pastrami and frites with mustard salsa verde and beef jus.
The drink menu includes creative cocktails specialty martinis, a better-than-average wine list, beer selections and mocktails.
