"After our warm welcome in Marietta, we are thrilled to bring Brunswick's to the Norcross community," said Brunswick Bowling Retail President Jim Fox. "Brunswick's and Tavern '45 represent the new era of bowling that embraces the increasing number of social bowlers: 70 million in 2011, more than any other sport. The upscale design and culinary offerings are revolutionary in the bowling industry, and the most significant change since Brunswick Bowling introduced Cosmic Bowling about 20 years go." The 40,000-square-foot location showcases completely remodeled interiors with the latest in bowling equipment, exceptional service and unique décor designed to encourage socializing and connecting. Adding to the experience is a lofted bar area situated in the middle of the lanes, offering a unique perspective of the action, as well as an outdoor patio for guests to enjoy culinary offerings from Tavern '45 al fresco.

Larger plates include fried chicken and bacon waffles, Mediterranean pizza, pastrami reuben Panini, bacon cheddar burger and grilled wild salmon. Desserts such as bacon waffle sundae and chocolate lava cake are sure to please, alongside dessert cocktails such as the Mexican chocolate martini. Tavern '45 will offer a full bar with a focus on local craft beer including Sweetwater, Terrapin, Monday Night, Red Brick, Mother Earth and Lazy Magnolia. Beer enthusiasts can enjoy multiple varieties and brands with flights of any four drafts.
