On the fifth floor is a 172-seat Iwerks Theatre, which has a four-story screen and a six-channel digital surround sound system. The theater is also rarely used, and when it is running it's only available to large groups.

The NBS is a frequent host to the United States Bowling Congress's USBC Open Championships Tournament. The NBS is contracted to host this tournament every three years. It is also host to the USBC Women's Championship every three years.

Its media recognition has earned it a few nicknames, including "Taj Mahal of Tenpins" by The Los Angeles Times, and "Pin Palace" by USA Today.
