Our History

In 1947, a six-lane bowling alley opened on the second floor of the former B. Balchowsky & Sons department store. Some longtime Frankfort residents still recall the memory of hand-set pins in the original alley. Today, the space has been completely renovated into an upscale restaurant and lounge, blending the character of its original charm with a timeless, modern elegance.

Sips and Bites

The Loft’s bar serves up an eclectic selection of craft cocktails, local brews, and signature drinks that pay homage to its storied past. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic old fashion or a modern mix, our bartenders bring creativity and flavor to every glass. Pair your drinks with our menu of elevated comfort foods, from gourmet sliders and loaded fries to shareable plates perfect for groups. With a focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavors, The Loft offers a memorable dining experience to complement the lively atmosphere.

Lounge & Bowling

Unwind in our sophisticated lounge, where vintage charm meets modern elegance. Whether you’re catching up with friends or savoring a cozy evening by the fireplace, our lounge offers the perfect backdrop for relaxation with a drink in hand and engaging conversation. For a dash of excitement, step into our vibrant bowling alley—a timeless favorite for guests of all ages. Enjoy the thrill of striking pins in a spacious setting ideal for groups. Whether you’re here to bowl, lounge, dance, or indulge in all three, The Loft guarantees an unforgettable experience every time.
