Conchester Lanes

Had a nice time! Nice friendly crowd

This is a perfectly decent bowling alley. The staff will put up the bumpers for you without being condescending or making you feel like an idiot. That's a huge plus in my book. The bowling balls come in beautiful rainbow colors - when I was a kid, bowling balls were black, black or - oh yeah, black. I also love the way they're labeled so you don't have to break your back lifting every single one to find the eight pounder. The screens are pretty cool too - offering tips as to where you should aim the ball after your initial turn to maximize your score. This info would be useful to me if I had any ability at all to control where I aim the ball.

Concessions - don't be in a hurry and have a back up to keep your place in line for you. You will be much happier if you don't expect speedy service. However, the French fries are worth the wait.

The facility itself is well maintained and the lanes are kept immaculately clean. The shoes aren't too horrendous and are actually kind of stylish (just don't think of the hundreds of feet that occupied them before yours). All in all, a pleasant experience at a reasonable price.

This is the bowling alley of my youth! I spent many Saturdays at league bowling there. I got my high score of 219 there.  Its right around the corner from my house.  It has an inexpensive bar there with servers who will bring stuff to your lane.  Its your basic bowling alley, nothing fancy about it but I love it.
