Today, it was announced that The Big Event and Erlton Social Craft Bar & Kitchen would be acquired by Bowlero, an American chain of bowling centers, in the “very near future.” The announcement on the Facebook page speaks for itself. While we are very sad that this chapter will be closing, as fans of Erlton Social especially, we will try to be optimistic about the new ownership and changes. Apparently, all events and gift cards will be honored. Stay tuned for more by Bowlero, I guess.
