Comet Pub & Lanes
The Comet pub is located in the former Suburban Lanes space, a 1950’s era bowling alley that has served the Decatur and surrounding area for close to 60 years. Remodeled and renamed in early 2016, The Comet is set to bring back some of the glory of its original splendor, while adding a few of our own personal touches.
Food and beverage service will feature from scratch pizza, burgers, sandwiches and apps, excellent cocktails, and a 16 beer draught menu, as well as a host of bottled and canned beers. In addition to the original 32 lanes of bowling, The Comet features two 40 ft. shuffleboard courts, 3 dart lanes, and a large bar if you just want to hang out in a great space where folks are having fun, watch a game on the TV and enjoy the offerings from bar and kitchen. We do NOT have any video or redemption games, but maintain a family friendly atmosphere. Comet Pub & Lanes received approval in November from DeKalb County to keep its doors open later.
The owners tell Decaturish that starting this weekend, the bowling alley will stay open until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 1 a.m. the rest of the week. Until now, Comet Pub & Lanes has closed at 12:30 a.m.
