This is such a cute little bowling spot located in the heart of Needham. I took my niece and nephew…read morehere yesterday and it was all of our first times doing candlepin bowling. When we arrived, it was super busy, despite it being only 10:30 am. The employee working there was very friendly and put our name down, saying it would be a 30 minute wait. There were comfy benches to wait on until our turn. When our name was called, we were given the rental shoes and headed to our lane. We didn't really know how to play or use their electronic scoring system. Thankfully, the employee helped explain it to us. It was very easy to use once we got the hang of it! I really enjoyed the bowling experience and the smaller bowling balls were easier to use than I thought they would be! I appreciated how clean and tidy and well run this bowling alley is! Parking is very easy in the free 2 hour lot behind!

You don't have to be a good bowler so everyone is welcome! It's a really great way to get out and have some fun with friends while meeting some awesome new people. The leagues regularly have a bunch of different teams to meet during and after bowling - the host some after bowling hangs complete with games. There's also trivia during bowling. Overall it's a really fun time and a great way to meet fun new people - give it a try next time they have registration open.

Well, know what you are paying for. the lanes turn on for 90 minutes. when times up, you're done. You will likely get 1 full game and an additional 3 frames. So you are basically paying 11 bucks for a single game. I saw no drink specials. every drink I bought was priced as was on the menu. Last time I was on a bowling league I was paying about 12 / week for 3 games. Everything else was as I expect for a typical bowling league.

The service was amazing, the flatbread was freshly made and delicious, the drinks were great, and the bowling was fun. I really liked the bake potato and Hawaiian with pork. It gets popular and make sure you book your reservation in advance. Highly recommend this place and will return again later. That being said, parking can be tricky. I came here on a weekend afternoon and the parking lot across the street was full. There are 3 street metered spots directly outside. I ended up finding another lot that was a 10-min walk away, and it offered 3-hour parking. So come early to find parking or prepare to walk.

Then right away, other than the multiple candle pin lanes & children playing and having a great time, is their pizza oven! The wood-fired oven is front and center, and you can actually watch your pizza being made fresh -- it adds to the whole experience. The flatbreads are a treat. The crust is nicely crisp with just the right amount of chew, and the toppings are fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully sourced. Either build your own and chose from their exciting menu options. Then of course there's beer They have a great selection of local beer that hit quite nicely. And the staff were extremely friendlier and attentive. They really make you feel like a valued guest. Whether you're here for date night, a casual dinner with friends, or just craving top-notch pizza, this place nails it. Some come enjoy some great food, solid beer and even try your hand at a game of candle pins.
