    The Dude abides.

    One of my first part time jobs was at a bowling alley. small 10 lanes I tried to visit it 6 years ago and found out that it was bulldozed down. RIP

    If you live on the North shore and there isn't much to choose from that is close to home. This is a close replacement. Part bowling alley part bar part restaurant and during the summer season League volleyball . They have good bar style food.

    The bathrooms are clean but hot/humid and could use more ventilation.

    Others have commented on the pizza and I agree it was quite good. Thin crust and basic toppings. I had the pepperoni and mushrooms.  The beer selection was also pretty good, particularly for a bowling alley where the selections are often limited to the standard domestics. The alley was small and quite crowded on Friday night.  There were tables full of folks waiting for a lane. The crowd was friendly with a good mix of young and middle-aged and several groups with children.  I also liked the diversity of the customers. Now the reason for the 3 stars...we had quite a few troubles that required attendant service. This in and of itself is not that unusual in a busy bowling alley, but the time it took to get problems resolved was ridiculous. The person behind the counter was busy with shoes and money and fixing scoring issues, plus he was expected to run down to the pin-setter area and fix pin and stuck ball problems. There should have been someone behind the scenes to take care of these issues. It took us 3 hours to play 2 games. Although we had paid for 3 games, we were too tired of waiting around to bowl our third. The alley did refund our money for the 3rd game, but what should have been a fun evening was mostly frustrating waiting for service. We will not return to this alley and we bowl fairly frequently.

    I have been bowling in league here for 5 years now.  I look forward to my nights of bowling.  The lanes are nice and usually well oiled.  The beer flows good, and I do like the selection.  On games nights, you can watch your favorite team while bowling which is also nice.  As far as bowling alleys are concerned, this place has the best pizza, even if I wasn't bowling here, I would still come for the pizza, it's DELICIOUS!  I would give this 5 stars, but the bar never really shows apprciation for all the tips and beer we order, it would be nice if once in a while they threw us a free one for appreciation.

    Really don't need to elaborate on the pros and cons on a review of a bowling alley, but I enjoyed the smoke free atmosphere and was pleasently surprised by the bar setup and good beer selection on hand.  Pitcher of Sprecher Amber was 7.50..(great).

    The location and building are nothing special, the space inside doesn't feel that large (there are approx 15 lanes though), there isn't much to do aside from bowling and billiards from the bar, but for cheap entertainment, relatively clean atmosphere and potential movie location for The Big Lebowski 2, this place is alright in my book.
