    Cheapest place to play pool that I know, but I usually just go on Monday and Thursday nights! (Deal is on Monday and Thursday nights by the way) . Arcade, bowling, drinking, pizza, chicken, slushie, and..hey they even have a bathroom, so why not, right? I am a pool person but bowling is also very cheap there on Mon/Thur nights. Family fun, friendly fun, and maybe even crazy fun if you do not have curfew! Enjoy! Mind-blasting.

    I've been coming to this Bowling Alley since I was living in NYC as a pre-teen with my cousins who were older than me. And as I became a teen, I used to come here often whenever I visited Boston back in the days. My experience then and now has changed quite a bit. It could be the changes of the bowling alley itself or perhaps just aging.

    The place has transformed a lot. A lot of new things added since. I've been here at least 3 or 4 times in the last few months. My experience each time has been positive. The staff are friendly than i remembered. The managers come around and ask how you're doing and ask if you'd need anything. Staff come around and clean up the messes on the table or on the floor and removed trash as needed.

    The bathrooms are much more amazingly clean and does not smell funny.

    when you walk in, on the left is the game room. directly in front of you is candle pin and then to the right is the regular 10 pin. and further right is their Deadwood Brewery. Food isn't great but it serves it's purpose.

    This truly has become a Family oriented atmosphere than i remembered and am happy to return as one happy customer!

    If you want to bowl, and I mean bowl, in Boston, there are three places. Well, Jillian's is if you have $100 to blow and want to seem preppy, and are under 21. So let's say two places. The one out by Alewife is for people who hate change, cleanliness, and value. Boston Bowl is clean, modern, even has TVs set up (and unlike the ones by Alewife, these work!), courteous, handicap accessible... needless to say, take the red line south instead of north! You can even use the free hotel shuttle to get to and from the T.

    Great place to bowl. $3 a game per person on Thursday nights. My friends and I played candle pin because all the other lanes for the regular bowling were filled. You can play pool and there's an arcade. The place is clean, the bathroom is pretty clean.

    You can get coupons for bowling and pool in The Carriage News or the Collegiate Coupon Book. It's a bit of a trek if you don't live in Dorchester but it's fun to hang out here for a few hours and if it's a nice day, hit the beach too.

    Solid bowling. WRETCHED beer.

    I have drank a lot. Not 'alcoholic' lot, but slept in a stairwell naked under a fire hose lot. Light crap beers are light crap beers are light crap beers. Natty Light, Keystone Light, High Life and Milwaukee's Best are all different, for sure, but they're roughly equivalent in terms of (lack of) quality. But I can say without doubt or hesitancy that this is the worst beer I've ever had in my life. Worst by a long shot. It's the color of Blue Moon but browner. Hand to god, there were gnats buzzing around it. I can't articulate it perfectly but it had a salty, pickly, stinky taste. Reminder, this is beer, not Kimchi. Had to keep drinking it cause the pitchers were very reasonably priced (and I have a problem), but GOD was it bad. Deadwood is name of the brewery or something? More like dead babies.

    I swear it all on the lives of my unborn children.

    I will go where other reviews haven't, I think. How in the world can you find this place? I live in Dot and there are no signs pointing to this place. You will certainly drive around Morrissey Blvd. like a complete fool if you are not from the neighborhood and you're trying to go bowling here. Its location is obvious from I-93, but that does no good because no one's skydiving off 93 to get there. Long story short: YOU NEED SIGNS UP ON MORRISSEY BOSTON BOWL! And do not tell unsuspecting patrons that you are behind the Dunkin' Donuts. You are NOT. Trees are behind the DD. Okay, rant over.

    I was here for a child's birthday party. The staff seemed to have things under control, but definitely could have been more pleasant. I'm a stickler for tidiness and all, so I am pleased to report that at 3 p.m., they're doing a good job. I watched parents get in and out of the line for shoes and socks, so that says a lot about the speed of service.

    I didn't eat anything here except for a strawberry lemonade slush from Deadwood Cafe. It was good, but not $3.30 good, for a small. Kings, this is not, but I love that we have a nice, family bowling alley in the neighborhood. It serves that important purpose.

    It's not a place to bring a first date.
    It's not a meat market.
    It's not a social scene.

    It's no frills bowling.
    For what it is, it works for me.

    Half price Mondays and Thursdays after 10?

    24-hour bowling in Boston?  Well, technically Dorchester (insert: "but at least it's the good side of Dorchester" here), but nonetheless, it is definitely worth checking out at some point.  A friend of ours coordinated a 32nd birthday party on a Friday night and she was able to assign two lanes for us for two hours including our shoe rental (which includes free socks) at a per person cost.  

    The facility itself is extremely clean and very well organized.  Although it is very family-friendly, there were lots of younger groups of friends and coworkers enjoying their Friday night.  There are lanes designated for candlepin bowling and 10-pin bowling.  The staff is extremely friendly, too!  

    Fun music, fun staff, and a cafe with beer available.  The beer is from a local independent brewery that is sold by the pints and/or pitchers.  How can you beat that?

    I hadn't gone bowling in ages - but with a 24 hour bowling alley across from our hotel, how could we not? This would be a great place to hang out in a big group. It seemed to be mostly 20-somethings there, but I could've totally seen myself hanging out there in high school.

    The bowling was almost $50 for two games of three people...a bit pricy. But it was fairly busy so clearly they were doing something right. There's also a brewery/cafe in there so you can grab food while you're bowling. Also you get free socks, yahoo!

    Overall I had a lot of fun (even though apparently I'm awful at bowling) and would go back if I stayed nearby again.

    This place was accross from our hotel and it was really terrible weather so we thought... why not run accross the street and bowl instead of staying cooped up in our hotel room!?

    It seemed kind of expensive for bowling... but maybe I haven't been bowling in a while and they times they are a changing? It was lots of fun, and there are pool tables and an arcade too! Whish I'd snuck in a game of air hockey. Alas, regrets...

    Seems like a good fun place and it's open 24 hours. How cool is that??

    Not a bad spot to get your bowl on in Boston.  The alley brought me to the old days at my neighborhood spot where I spent many a night heaving balls of fury down the lane with my friends.

    There are tons of lanes and the crowd is chill.  I did appreciate their giving us socks (to keep!) with our shoe rentals...a very smart and not to mention hygienic move.  The food and beer are about what you'd expect from a bowling alley, ie. they'll get the job done...more or less.  As for rates, it's pretty good for Boston at $5/game during prime time.

    Candlepin, "brewery", ten pin, pool and arcade...so that is fun. The bowling is 24/7, but when we went...many of the candlepin lanes were down. The machines kept messing up and not counting balls, and we even lost a few balls in the machine and had to borrow from other lanes.

    The pizza, was Chucky Cheese range, but I guess I couldn't be expecting anything more. The parking lot was something to be desired, don't leave valuables in the car. It is in an up and coming area. The security guards are carrying here, which I guess helps keep the shenanigans down.

    There arn't too many "thugs" here, but lots of teenagers and the possibility of something going down is real. So I did feel better about the security guards, though they were a bit older and many carried revolvers.

    I've had better bowling elsewhere, but I did get free socks. Wish the lanes were all up and running though. Don't know if I'd ever really want to go back here again, since there are better options closer to home for me.

    Growing up in Dorchester, this was the spot to go to. Everyone you knew came here and  some probably still do. Even though I have upgraded to higher end bowling establishments such as Kings and Lucky's, I still visit Boston Bowl.

    It's a great place to bring kids and they have decently priced packages for kiddie birthday parties or family get-togethers. There is candle pin bowling and regular big balls, pool tables, a decent size arcade, and batting cage. Expect to spend some cash, the bowling I feel is kinda pricey and who just wants to play one game at the arcade!

    The food is decent, they have their own brewery and a small selection of alcohol drinks.

    Fun times and it's open 24 hours. Yes, you can bowl anytime you want!

    Boston Bowl (BB) is good if you're going there exclusively for bowling. if you're looking for a good social atmosphere, I do not recommend this place.

    O.k...so I know that a "Family Fun Center" isn't necessarily supposed to be the trendiest place for people in their twenties (actually for anyone without a family) but I had good reason to believe that it was at least decent.

    Before I read any of the reviews I visited the site--once I clicked on the 'Bowling' link I began to get very conflicting information. Twenty something year olds with smiles and alcohol! Yup...via the 'Special Promo' link. Next, 'Corporate Parties,' "o.k.," I'm thinking to myself, this could work. Afterwards I read a few reviews and for the most part it seemed as though everyone averaged about 3 stars.

    So when I get to BB, immediately I'm surrounded by kids. I did get there a little early (6:30 pm) so it was to be expected. However, we bowled until 10 o'clock and it only went down hill from there. Kids and teens galore! Many unsupervised and running a muck. These weren't just any kids either, they were ill mannered, out of control, cage animals.

    As for the food, I only had the cheese pizza and I would eat it again although it was by no means good. Just edible...pretty greasy and void of flavor but I've had much worst gambling in South Boston.

    On the positive side, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The facilities are clean, they also have pool tables and an arcade (which is crappy ), but it did have one of my favorite games "House of the Dead," so I give them a pass. You also get free socks which is apparently all the rave, lol. Now I would go to BB again but it wouldn't be on the weekends and perhaps a little later to avoid the middle school crowd.

    Lanes & Games in Cambridge brings back wonderful 80's nostalgia and it feels less like an amusement park, but Boston Bowl is the better establishment. For starters, Boston Bowl has a brewery attached--not a great brewery by any means, but it's better than the watery pours you get at most bowling establishments (okay, the new Sacco's in Davis has got this covered as well).

    The prices at Boston Bowl are high, but they aren't much different than what you'd pay at Lanes & Games or any other bowling center in the Boston area. The best thing, though, is Boston Bowl actually has a bunch of special deals: Thirsty Thursdays, 1/2 price Mondays, Sunday Morning Breakfast Buffets (okay, that last one might cross the line).

    It's open 24 hours. Please come at 3AM on a weeknight and tell me what kind of people are there. I'm very curious.

    This bowling spot located in Dot, right off of 93, is not accessible by public transporation as I found out when I first moved here. But it did not stop me of going there multiple times, at all hours of the day. Yes, all hours of the day I said: the place is open 24/7.

    While the parking lot serves a local hangout for what seems to be Bloods and Cripps, the inside is actually not all that bad. They have a video game arcade, a section where you can play some pool and then some 10 pin and candlepin lanes. The place is often packed and waiting is not something uncommon there. They also have a food stand which serves some beers. Don't come there hungry though as even their pizza is pretty mediocre.

    The service is decent as are the prices. They run specials on Monday nights past 10pm (I think). Just don't expect the same kind of crowd as you'd see at Kings or Jillian's, it's much more diverse there.

    Fun place for bowling, drinking, and large gatherings!

    I realized I should not drink and bowl. I learned the hard way. Actually, I was not at all intoxicated, but I managed to throw my ball the opposite direction and almost hit innnocent bystanders. I was trying to roll with the cool kids and use one of "LARGE" balls... it flew out of my hand - BIG OOPS!

    They also have candlepin bowling. Didn't try it, but it's like bowling except with smaller palm size balls. The pins are are thinner leaner longer like... candles?

    **A very cool detail about Boston Bowl - They give you FREE SOCKS with your shoe rental! Clean and unused socks! How awesome?!!? And no they do NOT take it back. They have a donation bin to put your used or unused socks in :)

    I don't know if she still works there, but the girl behind the counter, Brenda, has the shiniest forehead I've ever seen in my life...and it only gets better from there! What other place has 50 lanes of ten pin bowling open 24/7? NOBODY. Where else can you see an old bowling lane mechanic climb up into the pin setting machinery never to be seen again? NOWHERE. They also have many billiard tables for your enjoyment and a pistol-wielding security guard with a mullet.

    Almost forgot, you get a free pair of Boston Bowl socks complete with miniature American flag every time you go there to bowl.

    I love candlepin bowling.  I make no secret of this.  I'm always looking for a great place to roll.  And Boston Bowl, though certainly not perfect, actually exceeded my expectations when I visited this evening.

    I last visited two years ago, and that was on the tenpin side.  Since then, they've made significant improvements to the candlepin side of the house.  They replaced their old AMF 82-95 pinsetters with brand-new-refurbished Bowl-Mor machines, which looked great and operated perfectly.  They've even replaced the ball returns!  The pin action was pretty good, too.  Though, they could clean and re-stripe their pins, as they looked worn.  (Think about it.  If you're going bowling, you're looking at the pins most of the time.  Shouldn't they be clean and bright?)  Also, in candlepin bowling, you usually bowl two frames at a time in casual play.  The Brunswick auto-scoring made you bowl one at a time.  Not a big deal, but it's not exactly what I was used to.

    Service at the counter was prompt, efficient, and pleasant.  The shoes were in great shape, and the complimentary socks were a nice touch.  Prices were reasonable for Boston, given that you can bowl candlepin during prime time for $4.55 a game.  (Some of the tenpin houses in town charge upwards of $5.75 and higher.)

    While we were there, they turned it over to Cosmic Bowling.  They had a fog machine, blacklighting, and theatrical lights.  Those were nice.  However, the music kind of sucked.  They weren't using their own music, and instead of the dance-club vibe that Cosmic Bowling should be all about, it was more like background music.  It wasn't really loud enough to provide a truly immersive experience.  That might explain why the candlepin side was sparsely populated and the tenpin side was almost full.  (There was no Cosmic Bowling on the tenpin side.)

    We ate at the pub afterwards.  The food (pizza slices, chicken parm sandwich) was passable, and the microbrew IPA was fine.  It wasn't really special, but we were more there for the bowling and socializing than for anything else.

    I definitely recommend Boston Bowl for getting your candlepin fix.  It was a good experience.  I think if they made a couple of the changes I recommended above (clean up the pins, tweak the computer scoring, improve the Cosmic music) then it would be a truly great experience.  I'll definitely be back!

    Bowling. Pool. Candle Pin. Arcade. Greasy Food. Beer. Scratch card machine!

    That's really all there is to it. Since it's open 24/7, it's always an option to chill at. The candle pin section have ultra cool lights sometimes (I'm not sure who you got to ask to get those lights on though...)!

    The only con I can think of is the wait for pool. Sheesh, when it's busy you'll be waiting up to an hour and a half for a table!

    Ah, I miss this place. I used to live in the Dot, near Neponset Circle, but driving up from the Cape, we decided to stop off for a few frames.  It's such a cool spot, open 24-7, gives the kids something to do at night instead of robbing old people, they now have a Deadwood Brewery on site with craft beers which you can quaff at the lanes. I love candlepin bowling, and this is a nice spot for it.

    The game room has a ton of good stuff, though I could use more old-school pinball.

    All in all, if you're in the dot, this is a great place to hit up.

    If you're into bowling, Boston Bowl is probably your best bet in the greater Boston area. The lanes are very well maintained and the scoring terminals and pinsetters are (mostly) cooperative. There's even a pro shop on the premises!

    That being said, the trick is finding a good time to go. On Friday and Saturday nights, expect a long wait for a lane, as you will be contending with throngs of teenagers. League play dominates many other nights, occupying a large number of lanes from 8:30 to around 10pm. The best times seem to be mornings and weekday afternoons. At these times, the place is fairly deserted and the price per game drops by about two dollars.

    Oh, and don't plan on drinking very much beer unless you like paying 7$ for a 16oz PBR!

    First, its open 24/7, so you can always hit up the lanes.  Used to go there almost every day for a while.  The cafe has decent looking food (never tried any) and serves beer and wine as well.  It was the first place I wasn't carded for liquor!  I remember that they used to have cops at the doors carding to make sure everyone was 18+... which seemed weird since its just an arcade and bowling alley.  In any case, you can walk across to the other doors and get in with no problem.

    The arcade is good sized, with a wide assortment of games.  Pro or con, there is now a video camera behind the DDR machine.  Perhaps you like people watching you from monitors around the place, or perhaps you don't like the staff monitoring you while playing.  Whatever.    They have disco bowling, but I think it costs more just to put the strobe light on over your lane.  

    The pool room is always crowded at night, so I've only been in there a few times.  My favorite part of Boston Ball is the Touch Screen games they had next to the cafe.  Our team name was plastered all over the high scores.  But, they are being replaced, by what seems like beer brewery equipment.  Loses a star because of that.  Also loses a star because of the time a gang of people harassed my friends, and ended up keying our car... Not the safest place.

    Open 24/7!! Got a craving for a 3 AM bowling? or perhaps looking to sharpen your billiard skills at 4 AM? Well this is the place to be!

    This place over-runned by Asians who would rather skip class or perhaps have nothing better to do than to hang out here all day. Make sure you have a high level of Asian pride before entering otherwise be prepared to be intimidated. As for the parking lot, it's really small due to Boston's Fast and Furious cars with wide-body ground effects.

    The establishment does card people after 10:30 PM due to the fact that they serve alcohol and also helps reduce rowdy underaged crowds.

    You get a free pair of socks to help mask your stinky a$$ feet and also help prolong their bowling shoes. After you're done bowling, be prepared for the bill since the rate is based on what time of day you bowl.

    Overall, this place is fun place whether you're bowling or shooting pool. A great place to bring a group of friends if you don't mind large crowd of Asians.

    FREE SOCKS.

    I'd leave it at that, but I should mention their pizza is surprisingly edible. Why only 3 stars, in spite of their complimentary toe cozies? Well, it's a bowling alley. And, if you are cursed enough to show up when the lights are off and the disco ball is spinning for "cosmic space alien bowlathon" it's filled with baby townies shrieking like demons. The alley compensates for this by staying open 24 hours in case you wake up at 3 am with an urge to bowl. At this time, it is a different crew of wacky characters.

    P.S. Your free socks have American flags on them! When I bowl here, I am reminded that the terrorists have not yet won!

    To make Boston Bowl work, you have to work with Boston Bowl.  Friday and Saturday nights are a no.  Despite how great cosmic bowling may sound, in actuality, it's green and blue lights illuminating people in their early teens who haven't yet gotten around to stealing their parents liquor (darn the foil of the fill it with water trick).  At Kings or Jillian's you can amuse yourself with pitchers and conversation while you wait for your turn.  At Boston Bowl you just realize you're spending $9 for a draft beer.  At a bowling alley.  In Dorchester.  

    And yet, there is a light at end of this bleak tunnel.  That light is Wednesday night (or Mon, or Tues), any time after 9 (and I mean ANYTIME, this bad boy's 24 hrs).  Practically empty, save for remnants of league play earlier in the night, some old timers keeping an eye on both the Sox game and the Keno screen, and, as previously mentioned, a handful of children who most certainly should be in bed, you'll be able to breeze right in, pick up your shoes (and free socks!) and be at a lane in no time.  No fighting for balls, no waiting in line, and no side-eyeing the gaggle of teens at the lane next to you who may or may not be molesting each other.   Plus it's slow enough that the people working the counter will slide you some 1/2 price coupons to help lighten the load.  Bowling bliss.

    The one downfall of coming at this time is that the arcade is closed.  Not a usual issue for me, since I'm not a big arcade kind of gal, but this arcade does have skee-ball.  And ribbon dancers as a prize.  Yeah, you heard me right.

    Bowling alleys are pretty much a dime a dozen. It takes alot to make one feel special, but it takes alot of effort to make a bowling alley feel like a cheesy corporate rip-off. However, Boston Bowl accomplishes this with unassuming ease.

    It looked clean and in good repair, which I imagine may be a real selling point to some. I imagine these are also people willing to pay $5 bucks for a bud light and $7 for really really awful mozzarella sticks. The food was a complete racket. If 4.95 for bowling doesn't seem that bad, it is surely made up for by a 4.25 shoe rental.

    The whole place reeked of shmoozy corporate schlock that caters to people who don't want any personality in their bowling joint. The only reason I give it 3 stars is because its open 24 hours--a feature lacking in most Boston hangouts.

    For those living in Boston without a car, Boston Bowl is T accessible.  

    Kind of.

    Take the Red Line to JFK UMass, and wait in the parking lot for the hotel shuttle.  No lie.  Get off at the first hotel, and Boston Bowl is across the parking lot.  It runs every half hour that the T is open.  I discovered this when I actually stayed at the hotel, and I've never had trouble taking large or small groups to the bowling alley from the T.

    This is one of my favorite second or third dates - keep it a surprise, and if they're willing to wait around with you in the parking lot and board the shuttle bus, they're a keeper.  The bowling alley itself is suburb-astic, but always fun.

    I LOVE bowling. Too bad I'm terrible at it!
    I'm the girl whose arm gets tired and after almost tossing the ball into her neighbors lane opts for the through the legs method. And the girl who will run up behind her friends to scare them so they get a gutter ball and she's not the only one bowling a 15 average.

    Anyway, this place is so much fun!
    Well, when you're not getting ready to beat High school aged Dot skanks for the 8lb ball you're fighting over so you don't have to lug around a 13 pounder. But even that ADDS to the fun! And you get *free* Boston Bowl socks! Who doesn't love socks?

    There's also an arcade where I can kick your ass at any driving game!
    Any takers?!

    FIVE DOLLARS FOR BOWLING ALLEY BEER? You gotta be kidding me! Where's my $2 (or less) bathtub bowling gin?

    I went here on Friday to play a couple games for a social night with Boston Cares. For a car-less person like myself, it's a bit of a trek. I had to take the T from Davis to JFK/UMass.. then a somewhat shady hotel shuttle bus.. then walk over to the bowling alley. Meh.. seeing as that there's a bowling alley right by me, I don't know if I will be visiting this place a lot.

    I had no idea bowling was so popular among the younger set these days. The place was packed! The way they were hanging out (there were teenagers literally hanging from the railing outside), it reminded me of Peter Pan and the lost boys' fantasy land.. but in Dorchester and minus Tinkerbell(all the kids and their clap-less lives.. she's living on the streets now). I wanted to yell out Rufio just to see if anyone would respond. I didn't.. uh.. I just rushed inside. I'm scared of young people in large groups.

    On to the inside of Boston Bowl..the workers are really nice and you get free socks when you rent shoes. SWEET. The alley was divided up in half when I got there. Candlepin laser light bowling and regular bowling. We'll skip over all the bowling antics because I stink, but yeah.  There's a lot going on here though. From Keno, to this weird Where's-Waldo-Eye-Spy game in the lounge, video games, pool tables and more! I heard there was DDR.. but let's face it. Who wants to challenge a lost boy to DDR?

    I'll visit again if I get a ride. Or if I fashion myself a sword out of vines and tree bark. Hmm. Yeah.

    If you are going to take the drive down from downtown, you better get to a comfortable bowling alley and leave behind the crowd of jillian's.

    Around 40 bowling alleys, with half belonging to the colorful (but to me, not attractive) world of Candlepin. I like my balls bigger, heavier and shinier. That is surely what you get at Boston Bowl.

    A little shady but right type of music; no laser games; a few teenagers running around and making out but overall a good bowling experience. It is definitely a plus that there are a couple of pool tables (even though they are too close). If it is rubbing against strangers while playing pool that gets you going, you found it!

    One thing to be noted about the bowling area is that if you are sitting around the table, your view is obstructed by the digital screens standing between you and the alley. If you also like fighting over a chair to watch your friends play, you are at the right place.

    Could have been my luck but didn't run into such a wait on a Saturday night (except for a few mins at the register).

    XXGo to Boston Bowl in Dot if you are into authenticity, affordability. XX

    It's 24 hour bowl, let's go in the middle of the night!!

    Only mintues on a special shuttle from the Red Line T, close to Umass Boston. No waiting cause there's like 31 regular lanes, and 14 candlepin "New England style" lanes.

    Strike! Strike! Strike! Why pay uber euros downtown with a dress code, when you can Bowl 10 pin for around $4.10 and rent shoes for around $4.25.
    Strike! This deal is unbelivable time-warp prices. On Saturdays from 4-7  for a mere $12.50 you get the following?!!:  
                  2 games
                  shoe rental with free logo sports socks
                  2 slices of cheese or pepperoni pizza
                  1 22 oz soda
                  4 game room tokens

    $12.50 for all this! Go if you don't even like bowling!
    Spare! Spare! Apparently you can play Dance Dance revloution and there is a Rock Climbing Wall in the game room

    You get *free white anklet socks with American flags that say "Boston Bowl" on them. They're hot.

    Spare! Spare! There is classic literature for kids for $1.50, yes books, in the vending machines. Bizarre, huh?

    Apparently my friends are secret king-pins as I learned staring at their form from behind.  AND the hospital where I work has their bowling club at Boston Bowl , oh sh*t I can't commit to that rigorous bowling schedule, but I will definetly visit!

    I haven't been here in forever, but this place is always worth a mention. Consider that, in Boston, at 4:30 in the morning, one cannot:

    - ride the subway
    - get a drink
    - do laundry
    - go grocery shopping anywhere outside the Fenway
    - even eat at more than a few rare and scattered places

    ...but one can bowl, any time of the day or night, at Boston Bowl. This city, I will never understand it.

    Let's face it, bowling is great.  It's one of the only sports you can excel at with a beer gut and cellulose.  You can be a heavy drinker and smoker and still be the sheez at this sport.  All computerized, open 24 hours a day.  This is where I roll to after 2am on Friday and Saturdays.  Blaze on the way and have a great time.  I also can't resist the choco-tacos in the vending machines.  I have spent many an Andrew Jackson on those tasty treats....

    Fun for the whole Family!
