Super fun. Local joint traditional bowling alley feel. No frills. Small light weight balls. Good for the entire family for fun night out. Not as easy as it looks.

Candlepin bowling is unique to New England and the Canadian provinces. A long-time hidden gem in South Boston. The cast of Good Will Hunting held their wrap party here in 1998. Anthony Bourdain bowled with us in a segment of No Reservations. Beer and wine available. Fun for all ages.
