You have to keep score by hand and the pin-setting mechanism can be a bit wonky, but that’s part of the charm at this eight-lane alley meets pub meets pool hall, done up in retro decor. Foodies won’t be bowled over (sorry) by the menu, which leans a bit mall chain, though the beer list features such respectable offerings as New Holland Dragon’s Milk and Temperance Gate Crasher. Bowling lanes are rented by the hour, and reservations are recommended on weekends.
