a bowling alley with bowling lanes
Mark T.

A great local favorite, nothing flashy, but it is not supposed to be! A great place to practice or go with a few friends or a date. O'Lindy's reminds me of the time I had just gotten into bowling - old school candlepin! The walls appear to be carpeted, and the balls return on open rails. They don't use paper scoring though - scoring is done automatically. It's a much older system with tube TV's, and no song and dance every other ball. While I appreciate the simplicity of just three buttons, it is not always 100% accurate, and you're unable to fix it yourself. Person behind the counter probably could - but I'm not **that** serious a bowler. With all this: You don't come here to get your party on, but a small-ish group or corporate event would be just fine. No fancy massive TV walls, black-lights,disco balls, or full bar/kitchen, if that's your thing. They do have an extremely limited beer/wine(?) selection, and other concessions. Cost is per person per string, and is quite reasonable at under five bucks.

It was a rainy Sunday afternoon, and this place was surprisingly empty. They have 16 lanes for Candlepin bowling, and 11 (minus the two that were covered?) pool tables. We were charged $12 per hour for the 2 hours of billiards played, so with the $5 coupon I had printed from their website it was $8 apiece for the two of us.

Two of my greatest pleasures in life are carpeted walls, closely followed by candlepin bowling, so Olindy's did not disappoint on either front.

The Ballroom for our dinner and dancing was elegant. Service was impeccable, passed hors d'oeuvres and buffet were outstanding.

Having…read moreattended many showers over the years we were pretty sure about what to expect, a pleasant afternoon celebrating the coming of the new baby and parents. To our delight this event went above and beyond the usual shower celebration First, we noted the Neighborhood Club offers several spaces where a shower can be held. Our gracious event manager Christina, who had attended to every detail in the planning of the occasion, guided us to the "Living Room," a cozy and relaxed area with its own cocktail lounge and lovely décor. The Living Room, which was festively decorated by the hosting family is both comfortable and elegant. When seasonally appropriate event planners can request the stately fireplace to be lit. Guests immediately seemed to feel at home as they came into the room. The staff was very efficient in preparing the buffet brunch, including both breakfast and lunch choices, as well as accommodating guests' food needs. Our meals were delicious. We especially enjoyed the variety of choices including salads, vegetables, breakfast rolls, quiche, fresh haddock, and chicken piccata. More than a few of us returned to the buffet for seconds. As we gathered together the Neighborhood Club's welcoming setting and attentive staff made this a very memorable and happy time for family and friends to celebrate.

We hosted a party here on Oct 13, 2019. We booked our engagement party on short notice (about 5…read moreweeks before) and Kaitlyn was so easy to work with from the start. We fell in love with her, the house, everything including the murder-by-mail story behind the house from the 1800s. About 2 weeks before the party we called Kaitlyn and told her it was going to turn into our surprise wedding! She continued to be so helpful and excited, giving recommendations for all kinds of vendors we'd need. The day of the party she was professional and hands-on, making sure everything got done on a quick timeline. She calmed nerves and had great suggestions on where things should go to make sure everything flowed just right. Our rental price included some tables and linens she had available, and some glassware too. It was so perfect from the start and we couldn't be happier!!

Beautiful historic building who's tour guides added in a true life murder mystery of the lady of the houses death. This really added to the event as it was so my scene and absolutely fun. They also had a whiskey tasting since she was poisoned with whiskey which is ironically amazing. I would def host an event here because unlike the Newport mansions I could touch things and see things in the midst of being historically preserved since they're still restoring the house. Open Doors RI has found a new regular customer :)

This place should be great, but the tables are in disrepair…read more The vibe fine - charming almost. Not much to it beyond pool and that's all it needs to be. The owner is either grumpy or friendly, depends on his mood or whether it not he knows you. Hard to blame him, as too many people do stupid things in there (don't put your drink near the table!) But what makes this place so poor is the table quality. It could be great. It should be great. He goes through the work to clean the felt every night, but can't bother to re-felt or re-level the tables? Every rail is dead, the felt is warn and cheap cloth to begin with, none of the tables are level, and most of the pockets are busted or taped together. Experienced players will find these tables are unplayable. If you're used to running racks in 2-3 turns, prepare to do it in 4-5 instead. Good luck shaping your shots when the bounce off the rail is a guess. Good luck with speed control when the ball dies instantly when it touches the rail. It's sad - because this place should be great. They have 5 8-ball tables and 3 3 cushion tables. The 3 cushion tables are rarely used. If he swapped one or two of those out for 8 ball, he'd make more money. Then use that money to level the tables, re-felt and get new rails. Seriously, a bit of re-investment into this place would do wonders for business. No serious pool player can go there now, you're better off at Amazin in Malden. Take care of the tables just a bit and you'd end up with more serious players tehre more regularly. not just more business, but better business, cuz the better players won't be ruining the tables. Right now it's a bad spiral, the only players that come are those that don't know any better, and they're exactly the type to spill drinks on the felt and generally perpetuate the owner's grumpy mood. He can be nice too - just don't be an idiot!

Do NOT go here. I was told the rate was $18/hour, but I was charged $22. When I asked why, the…read moreowner said, "It's an extra $2 for using a debit card." That still doesn't explain the full $4 difference--shouldn't it be $20, not $22? He added another $2 after the card fee, which makes no sense. It was my first time, so I didn't know whether or not we were supposed to press the timer--but I did. I admitted it was my mistake, but the owner kept making a big deal about it instead of simply explaining the policy. Terrible customer service. Won't be coming back.
