Brunswick is good. It's nice when you want to do something indoors with the kids.
It's clean and not too expensive. -

This place is awesome! It's been renovated recently (not that it matters because the 70s style is also cool). They have many lanes and it's all the larger balls. I went here on a date and it was a fun time. There's a bar/lounge with a pool table.

Prices are reasonable (especially with coupons, which are easy to find), beer is delicious, and food is not half bad (for a bowling alley). I would give it five stars if there was less WT!

Fun and entertaining with a group of friends. I agree it was better before the flooding. Now it's too clean and the old video games are gone.

Good place to bowl at. Sign up for the bonus zone and you will pay no more than $1.99 per game at any given time you'll ever want to bowl. I know, some people complain about the high price, but its their own fault that they don't see this. Right now, the bonus zone price is at $.99 a game! That is vs the $4.99 non bonus zone price that the charge on friday or saturday nights. I do not know what other bowling place (even candlepin) will give you a better value.
However, minus 1 star because the leagues are a rip off at $15 a week for 3 games and you must pay if you need to miss a week. But, to offset that, the prize money can be very good. -

4 stars for this facility-BEFORE THE FLOOD!!!!
Unfortunatly, this bowling alley sits between swampland, a tributary river, and in front, the Merrimack River.
During the heavy rains of April and May, the water in the swamp area in back of the lanes continued to rise, and eventually the entire neighborhood on Pawtucket Blvd. flooded out, including the Dunkin Donuts next door.
The water was 4 to 6 feet deep in some areas, and since the lanes themselves were a foot or so lower than the floors (you had to step down), once the water came through the doors, it destroyed the lanes and the pinsetters. (Synthetic lanes and computerized scoring had been part of the last $4 million dollar renovation a few years back)
Brunswick Corporation owns the house, so insurance claims adjusters were in there immediately accessing damages once the waters receeded.
The lanes are now closed while the damaged equipment is replaced, and they hope to re-open in September.
League mailers for September signups were in my mailbox yesterday, so it appears that a September reopening is still on target. -

This bowling alley is great for those who are on a budget. Being a college student myself, I find this place to be great if you are looking for a fun, inexpensive time. Mondays and tuesdays (9-11PM)are dollar bowling nights where soda, pizza, bowling shoes, and strings of bowling are just a dollar each! In addition, Brunswick also has a lounge with darts, tvs, and pool tables, an arcade, and a full bar with moderately priced drinks. Get there early because waits can be up to an hour for a lane. Don't worry though, they have the Red Sox games on all the TV sets :) The place is clean, the people are nice, and the crowd varies in age, sex, race, and skill level. EVERYONE CAN HAVE FUN.

I'm not a real bowler so when I say that the floor wax they use requires about 3 degrees of rotational offset to accomadate for lack of ball traction then please take me word for it. I used to enjoy going to Brunswick Zone with my friends for weekly bowling. But eventually the crowds, waiting, and occasionally ludicrious pricing (Friday and Saturday night) turned me off. They have a wide selection of balls for you to choose from and classic bowling shoes (no velcro please). The computerized scoring is very convient for you newbs (or basically anyone who isn't league). Speaking of Leagues, if you happen to go when they are playing than forget about bowling for a while. You'll have to play DDR or drink in the sullen bar (read: depressing). Fortunately when you are bowling you can drink Sparks and eat french fries. The crowd is usually pretty interesting, a nice mix of obnoxious teenagers and bowling freaks. We used to go on a weeknight and they would play the same 10 music vidoes in constant rotation. On one final note, the Disco Bowling DJ was cool and played Gun's and Roses.
