The owner of Bowlmor Lanes sued its lender, Golub Capital, accusing the private investment company of trying to extract money by threatening the lanes’ relocation from Greenwich Village to Times Square.

New York-based Golub Capital improperly sent Strike Holdings — the closely held firm that owns the longtime hipster hangout — a false default notice that jeopardizes its plan to relocate and threatens its earnings, Strike said in a complaint in state court.

The bowling company said its Greenwich Village lease expires in 2013 and may not be renewed.
