Not only did Evan Longoria become a father this week, the Rays third baseman is also opening up a restaurant in Florida:
Ducky’s Sports Lounge will add a new dining and entertainment option in South Tampa, offering innovative bar foods, creative cocktails, state-of-the-art audio/visual capabilities and “mini bowling” in a relaxed, upscale atmosphere.
Located just west of downtown (1719 W. Kennedy Boulevard), the 5,700-square-foot boutique sports lounge will be the only restaurant in South Tampa to feature four lanes of mini bowling – a smaller, simpler form of the sport that does not require special shoes, uses a smaller ball, and incorporates two, 80-inch high-definition projection screens in the middle of each lane for optimal game viewing.
I’ve long searched for a “simpler form” of bowling.
Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Tribune calls Longoria “a part-owner/investor.” Hopefully it goes better than Ryan Braun’s restaurant in Milwaukee.
