A local business owner is considering the introduction of new revenue sources at his Davis Square bowling alley.

“Basically, to generate more revenue, I’ve been looking at bringing someone like Robert Gregory from Redbones or Tanya Hamill from Someday Café in to bolster the income,” said J. P. Sacco the owner of Bowl- HavenBilliards & Bowling. “My taxes just went up by five grand and all my costs have doubled or tripled at this point.”

The bowling alley suffered after the smoking ban in Somerville, said Sacco. “We don’t serve alcohol or food here,” he said.

Though he has made no commitments, there are tentative plans for Someday Café to take out a few pool tables and set up something similar to their last location, Sacco said.

If Robert Gregory comes in, he would likely install a dining area in place of the existing pool tables, he said.

Sacco said he wants to maintain a similar atmosphere to that which currently exists at the Bowl-Haven. “I really want to keep it a bowling alley with that forties or fifties flavor,” he said. “We haven’t committed to anybody at this point.”

“I know people are excited,” he said. “But, we haven’t even talked about a lease yet.”
