When my age was in the single digits, I discovered a love for bowling. I am now nearing 30, and my…read moreenjoyment of bowling continues - plus I've since discovered 10-pin. Though, in the recent year, life got a little complicated, and thus it's been a while. Not wanting to fight the continuous Boston traffic, I decided to give Boston Bowl - Hanover a try. It was quiet on a Saturday afternoon - it was tax free weekend, so everyone was likely out shopping. I'd brought my own shoes and ball, though there seemed to be plenty of different house balls available (though during busy times, your mileage may vary). The lanes were well oiled, the automatic scoring did not give me any trouble, and there were no malfunctions that needed an attendant. The facility was modern, with large screens (Spongebob was on), and music loud enough to be heard, but not approaching a metal concert (again, Saturday afternoon vs Friday night is likely a different experience). There's just one little thing: a bit of sticker shock. When I was a kid bowling with dad, it cost under $4 a string, maybe $4.25 during a popular time. Here, it was $8.50 per string [Fri. 5pm - Sun. Close]. I fully understand that it has been 20 years, yet, $25 for one person bowling for 15 minutes still seems a bit steep. Consider: if I had brought three friends we'd be be looking at over $100.

They're very well kept and one can see how much they care about this establishment. Scoring is done old fashioned on pencil and paper, so if you have trouble counting to one hundred this might be difficult for you. Parents could definitely turn it into a fun adding exercise for kids while learning to bowl. There is a small snack bar inside that sells beverages and some food. Basic menu, no fancy gluten free options that I saw. I believe it was cash or check only, but please call. I heard they also do groupons!

Westgate Lanes is differently a hidden gem in Brockton…read more We decided last minute to take the children to westgate lanes for some fun. This was our first time there so we were a bit hesitant at first however we were glad we decided to give Westgate Lanes a try. We went with the small pins for the children and they had a blast, during their games we were able to order food and beverages. The service was mediated and the food was subpar (I ordered my burger medium and received a overly well done burger) same with my friend and her meal (she ordered her steak tips cooked medium and received it overly well done). As for the cocktails they were just a tad too sweet (more sweetness than alcohol). The children were content with their pizza and sprite. After bowling we were able to take the kiddos to the arcade section and they loved it. We would definitely plan to return

A pretty fun facility for young kids…read more The indoor park is pretty small, and a standard admission is $13. In order to play other games, you will likely need to pay extra. I was surprised by how expensive some games are, like the claw machine would require 9 credits per play, if I remember it correctly. I'd say it's good for younger toddlers, since the area isn't too big. The equipment is definitely a little dated inside. I'm debating between 3 or 4 stars, but giving 4 stars to support a local business. They do run promotions, so check it out their website!

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!

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.

(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.

Having…read morebeen around since 1960, this place had seen better days by the '80s when I was in high school, and apparently continued that downward trend for a while. But someone clearly invested wisely in bringing this Rhode Island institution into the modern era. The updates are impressive and practical. Everything runs smoothly - from the quick ball returns and pin setups to the modern scoring system. They've switched to hourly rates instead of per-string pricing, which makes a lot of sense with their efficient setup. Their Monday-Friday special ($20 for an hour of bowling plus shoe rental) is a great deal - and thanks to how quickly everything runs, you can easily fit three strings into that hour, as we discovered when we overbooked for two! The facility itself is super clean, including the bathrooms (always a telling sign). They've covered all the bases for refreshments with both a proper bar/food setup and vending machines. The counter staff is friendly, parking is plentiful, and the whole operation runs like a well-oiled ball return machine. It's great to see a family entertainment spot that's both well-maintained and affordable. Lang's has managed to preserve its community bowling alley character while giving customers all the modern conveniences they expect. Perfect for family time or a fun afternoon with friends.
