John Blancher is the owner of Rock’n Bowl, a unique, legendary New Orleans spot for bowling, dancing, and live music. Although John created Rock’n Bowl in 1988, New Orleanians feel the popular bowling alley/nightspot has been a part of the city forever. Rock’n Bowl is not only a favorite for locals, but for visitors, too. John also owns Ye Olde College Inn restaurant; he explains why he recently moved Rock’n Bowl from its original location to a site next to his restaurant.
