    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.

    I have to give Olindys 5 stars for putting up with my friends. I recently turned older (unfortunately) and thought it would be grand to go bowling for my birthday. I figured I'm 26 years old how many of my adult friends are going to want to go bowling on a Saturday night in December? Answer to this question is pretty much all of them. I thought it would be like 8 of us going bowling and the grand total was 23. I called in advance and booked 5 lanes and when we got there it was a pretty smooth operation. We got pretty loud due to the beer and wine mentioned in the first review, but they didn't seem to mind. Everyone had a fantastic time and I might do it again next year! It cost a little over $200 for 23 people to play 2 strings and rent shoes.

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

    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 :)

    Boston Bowl is a classic spot you'd come to growing up in Boston. We came here for an unplanned…read moredate night and had a great time. You can pay to play as little as one game of bowling, or obviously more if you'd like. If you don't want to bowl, they have a billiards room, an arcade, and AR darts. Plus there's a food spot which you can dine in or bring to whatever game you're playing. Prices are pretty reasonable and they offer certain discounts for students and I believe seniors. It was pretty packed on a Sunday night but we were able to walk in and grab a lane. Food was also good, although a little pricey and took like as there was only one woman behind the counter and two in the kitchen. Despite the wait for the food and drinks, the staff were working hard and did a good job. It was fun seeing my boyfriends childhood spot, and nice to see families and friends gathering around to have some in-person fun again. We also got to catch a glimpse of a bowling league in action so that was pretty cool.

    I have been going to Boston Bowl in Dorchester since my kids were little and we used to have their…read morebirthday parties there, they loved the ARCADE! I avoid that now, but it's great for the kids... and now I am a senior citizen and I am back working on my bowling game both alone or with my friends. I had a great time on each occasion I've come over and I love the senior discount M - F 9 - 5 pm 40% off your games it's a nice benefit for us retirees as bowling these days can get expensive, but it's great to get out of the house during the week and get some exercise. (Bowling is a workout, whew!) They also have the pool hall of course and that includes some new features, they have a video dart game and they have a TV that has the news on it and of course the pool tables. A nice new addition is the new restaurant that offers food and drink that is absolutely delish! The pizza, wings & fries I've tried and I love but the burgers looked wonderful.. will try that next time. My only problem was that a game malfunctioned on us and I did have a hard time making the staff understand that we lost half of our first game on #21 (I'm saying the number in hopes that it will be fixed soon...) it went zonky on us and skipped ahead to our 2nd game.. but eventually they did get my drift and they moved us to a new alley and all was well. No we weren't trying to scam them! (smile) Thank you.
