SOHH ON THE SCENE
Top 10 Reasons Why "The Chill Spot" Sunday Night Bowling Events In The ATL Are OFF THE CHAIN!!
Posted on March 10, 2008 10:42 AM
I'm going to let you all in on a little secret. I'm about to put you all on to one of my most favorite spots in Atlanta. I don't go too often because I [Gyant] still want it to be fresh and new every time I roll through, but I figured I'd let you know what the deal is with a chill spot in the city. Jamal Coleman along with his partners DTP Exectuve, Chaka Zulu, Taiye (Tai Boogie), Travis Nuckles and Felix (Fecat) have been successfully holding down one of the best kept secrets in Atlanta for well over a year now. 300 Atlanta has consistently been the spot where you can come and get your drink, and your bowling on. But the unique element Jamal & his crew brings to this event is one that many just don’t have the clout, or the contacts to do. They brings out the celebrities.
Check out my Top 10 reasons why, if you don’t already know, you should be making your way to the bowling alley every Sunday.
1. The DJ: Atlanta staple DJ Technology, and DJ Cowboy get on the one’s and two’s delivering all the hits, past and present, the entire night. No matter what your musical taste is whether its T.I. or Bobby Brown, they most definitely get it poppin.
2. The laid back atmosphere: Most venues/events that pop off in the city usually come with an element of pretentiousness. But not 300. Everybody pretty much leaves their attitudes at home. It’s all about the bowling, and the booze [hell, sometimes free booze].
3. Celebrities, Celebrities, Celebrities: From Lil Wayne, to Snoop Dogg you never know who’s going to pop up on any given Sunday. I’ve bowled with everyone from Questlove, to Willy Northpole. And when it comes to the game what you do for a living don’t mean sh*t. Is all about the pins down the lane…Stttrrrrriikkkeeee!!!
4. Girls, Girls, Girls,: Yes, my male counterparts the women are always out in full force. Sure you have your groupies; however the fanfare is relatively small. Most of them are just there to have a good time. But, for some, if they happen to meet a celebrity - poke a hole in the condom, and get pregnant then "hey" it was an added bonus. But I'd imagine that most of them prefer the regular type a brutha which is great for any dude who has even the smallest amount of game. Just get the lady a drink, and who knows what opportunities might open up [pun intended] for you that night.
5. Cheap ass drinks: While some bowling alleys in the ATL *cough* Ten Pen *cough* want to charge ridiculous prices for alcohol, Jamal and his partners got us a venue that understands that we are all trying to feel something nice without breaking our damn wallets in the process.
6. Impromptu performances: Check out Day 26 [Making The Band Boyz] breaking it down for the fans. The video isn’t the best but you get the idea. You just never know who might be feeling it to give you a free performance.
7. Security is TIGHT: It’s a bowling alley, but don’t get it twisted they aren’t playing with the foolishness. I’ve seen dudes get tackled, and immediately thrown out for bringing that nonsense. This spot is a place to get your fun, but make no mistakes about it. If you bring that buffoonery to the spot you will get dealt with.
8. The Food: Yo, I don’t think I’ve been to a bowling alley that has execituve chef’s and shit. I mean the menu isn’t just your regular “burger and fries” type of sh*t. 300 brings it, and they put a little class in it in the process.
9. Low cover charge: While I have never paid a cover charge to enter the venue [because Jamal takes care of a brutha] I know the cover is like $5.00 or something like that. And remember the cover keeps out the foolishness, which brings me to my last reason why 300 Atlanta is the place to go for the grown & sexy.
10. NO DAMN KIDS! Jamal and his partners understands that though many of us are kids at heart many of us don’t necessarily want to deal with kids in reality. They check ID's at the door and I believe that if you’re over 18 you can enter. But, I rarely see any kids walking around when I’m there. This event caters to the adults. And not the legal adults. I mean the adults who’ve actually earned the damn title. I mean hell they have the world. Can we have our bowling.
All in all if you live in the ATL and want to get your party on without being in an actual club. Then the "Chill Spot" is for you. Remember, like any late night party the later you get there the better of you'll be. But remember they close at 2AM.
Come through. Lets bowl together. But I should warn you now, the loser buys a round of drinks. LOL.
Special shout out to Tiffany J. of Family Tree ENT for helping score some of these pictures. You know I can’t do it all y’all. All work and no play leads to an angry Gyant. LOL.
Talk to y'all lata.

Why don't you ever put the addresses of these places that you endorse? I tried to look up that last restaraunt you wrote about and all you had was a link to the corporate site which didn't mention an Atlanta location. Location is a key piece of info.
@ Gyant
300 is that fire piff on Sundays and the drinks are super cheap compared to other nightspots in the city. But 300 is to far to be driving home drunk for those of us who live in the city. 300 is a wet dream for cats who live in the northern suburbs, but for us who live in the city I prefer the MetroPlex bowling alley on Metropolitan. On thursday nights there are so many bad hoes in there it makes no sense. Dudes think because of its location that it will be a bunch of 3rd Zone gutta rats, but its actually alot of AUC (Clark A U, and Spelman) hoes that be in there
damn, hope this spot doesnt go downhill now that it was put on blast
Looks like a cock fight, can we get some broads in these photos?
Its really not a secret. Everyone knows of 300 and its actually poppin on Fridays and Saturday's as well. Unless you're just going for the groupie experience (that goes for girls and guys)
If you REALLy want to bowl I suggest you reserve you some lanes (like reserving a VIP table at the club) Other than that its cool.
P.S. If you go early enough there is no cover
It's been a while,but the Last time i went to 300 they was talkin bout they was adding a dress code...What kind of fuck shit is that ?? It's a bowling alley
dress code=less ignorant niggas
That spot is tight, I've rolled by there a couple of times, but I usually get turned off at the thought of slipping on a pair of shoes that anotha brotha has funked all up... If I can get one of my little Vietnamese hoes to stitch me up a pair of white suede bowling shoes, I'll dip inside... Y'all niggaz never seen me so clean when I rock the white-T, the white Dickies work pants with the white suede bowling shoes. I positively glow in that mothafucka... Plus I got the glow in the dark 20 lb ball. Most niggaz can't even pick that shit up, but I consistently score in the 250 and up range.
Nigga, what?!
REASON #11. MOST OF THE TRANNIES CHILL UP THERE LMAO @ GAYTL
OG MATT U LYING LIKE A MOTHER FUCKA MAN THEY DONT MAKE A 20 POUND BALL AND A GLOW IN THE DARK BALL MEANS IT NOT A PERFORMANCE BALL THAT WONT HOOK IM A NIGGA AND I BOWL IN 4 DIFFERENT LEAGUES AND I ONLY CARRY A 215 AVERAGE IN THE LIGHT SO IF U AVERAGE 250 IN THE DARK MAYBE U NEED TO BE ON ESPN BOWLING CAUSE PROS CANT DO THAT SHIT STOP LYING AND KEEP IT REAL
I rarely comment on here, but I was at 300 last Friday. This spot is truely hot! It's not just for Sunday's. The music was hot, ladies off the chain, and just a cool vibe in there. Dude is right security tight in there, I'd would definitely suggest checking it out!!!
I'M SURE THE PAYOLA SOHH RECIEVED OR THE KICKBACK YOU RECIEVED FOR MAKING THIS DUMB ASS BLOG THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO W/NOTHING IS A GOOD REASON TO FUCKIN PROMOTE A BOWLING ALLEY!?!?!
