We specialize in New England’s classic candlepin bowling, which offers a unique and highly accessible challenge for players of all ages and skill levels. Unlike standard ten-pin bowling, candlepin uses taller, thinner pins and much smaller, lighter hand-sized balls without finger holes. Additionally, the downed pins, known as "deadwood," are not cleared away between rolls during a player’s turn, adding a layer of physics and strategy to every shot. We keep our lanes beautifully maintained to ensure a perfect roll every time, making it easy for beginners to learn and seasoned players to refine their skills.

We make event planning seamless and stress-free by offering customizable packages tailored to your group's size and preferences. Whether you are hosting an unforgettable kids' birthday party or a high-energy corporate team-building event, we provide a perfect blend of competitive candlepin bowling and interactive arcade entertainment. Our specialized party venue takes care of all the details, from lane reservations to delicious catering from our on-site burger joint. Guests can enjoy friendly competition on the lanes, explore our massive 50-game arcade, and celebrate in a vibrant atmosphere. Let us handle the setup and cleanup so you can focus on having fun.

Our expansive 50-game arcade offers an exceptional mix of modern attractions and nostalgic classics to satisfy every gamer. We feature high-energy ticket redemption games and exciting prize merchandisers alongside beloved retro favorites. For pinball enthusiasts, our dedicated pinball lounge showcases the latest Stern pinball titles together with rare, beautifully preserved collectibles. Whether you are aiming to win big prizes or setting a new high score on a classic machine, our arcade delivers a thrilling experience. It is the perfect complement to a night on our lanes, ensuring that the entertainment never stops for your friends and family.

Yes, we offer both! For those looking for structured play, you can join our vibrant, competitive, and highly social bowling leagues, which run throughout the year and are perfect for meeting new people. If you prefer a more relaxed visit, we welcome casual walk-in players daily for open candlepin bowling. No matter how you choose to play, you can always visit our on-site burger joint to enjoy a delicious bite to eat or a cold beer between games. We make sure our lanes are accessible, social, and packed with retro charm for everyone who walks through our doors.
