South Boston Bowlarama

I stopped by South Boston Bowlarama as part of a kick off party for a charity walk I'm participating in in June.

The space was donated to us for the party, which was appreciated. Free bowling was a nice benefit to being a fundraiser & walker.

My guests & I made the mistake of thinking there would be a parking lot at the bowling alley. There wasn't and the driver of the car got very annoyed that she had trouble finding parking. (It was Southie with snow and parking space savers of every kind all along the street. We eventually found parking a bit of a walk away from the bowling ally.) Take public transportation here if you can, and save yourself a parking headache.

As others have mentioned, the lanes feel old. There is no computerized scoring, which I would have preferred.

The lanes also broke down for a few different teams. The bar to collect the pins got stuck half way down, and wouldn't go back up. So, we had to change lanes to finish our game.

There are also arcade games and the place has a beer & wine liquor license.

Finally decided to stop by after walking by hundreds of times and I wish I'd done it sooner! 6 beers and cider on draft and super cheap for southie.

Candlestick bowling was cool, especially with a group, and loved the vibe. Definitely going to be a regular visitor from now on!

Does not look like much on the outside but it is a good plave to do something different and have a few drinks before heading out for the night.
