As you exit the elevator on arrival, there’s a cafe that provides refreshments for both the bowling alley and the library. I think of the bottom two floors as the “daytime” family style floors. You can see the solutions I used in this build illustrated below. Sims will often use the objects nearby in these cases. You can fit your restaurant with a lounge/ bar area too. Matching bowling alleys with video arcades or the spas with a gym is also excellent. For instance pairing a café in a bookstore or even in the public library works well. When I start a design like this I think about which activities complement each other before designing the layout.

The building contains a public library, cafe, retail space, spa, gym, bowling alley, arcade, restaurant, nightclub and karaoke bar with the “Hanging Gardens” of San Myshuno rooftop park acting as the foundation around it.

My example here is a type of “lifestyle center” so the emphasis isn’t primarily on retail but on services instead.
