The Frame
Most bowling alleys in Seoul focus mainly on bowling, as they should. Alcohol, conversation, and dancing while bowling are frowned upon. That is not the case at 'The Frame'.
Located in north-central Seoul, The Frame is a top-notch facility that caters to those who want to let loose and bowl. If that's not you, don't worry. It also caters to those who just want to bowl in an upbeat atmosphere.
