Haven’t been bowling in years(ok, decades) and popped in on a Sunday on a whim. It’s a classic 12-lane neighborhood bowling alley. Not fancy, not new, but maintained & clean with good lanes(as far as I can tell). More importantly to us, both the staff and customers were very friendly and welcoming of people who vaguely remembered how to bowl. Rental shoes & house balls were decent, nothing to complain about. As long as you’re not expecting/demanding a hip, fancy establishment it is a good neighborhood bowling alley with good people where one can easily have a good time. Knocking off one star for age & wear of some of the décor.

Nice little 12 lane neighborhood bowling alley. Lanes seem to be in good shape, and the flat screen displays lead me to believe that the place is fairly up to date, technology– wise. Major bonus that they have a pretty decent little restaurant/bar attached. Nice place!

Slocum’s is an institution. Great bartenders, great group of regulars, and great opportunities for people watching on college nights. Prices are cheap and food is pretty good. If you’re one of those beers nerds who complains when they can’t get their favorite dogfish head, then you probably won’t like this place. But if you can appreciate a cool high life and some decent conversation with a regular, you’ll become one too. There’s no place like it, and it’s an experience that defies description.

Pretty clean neighborhood bar. Good half price apps that I like to enjoy some week nights. Not a bad place to hang with buddies, college night is fun. Nothing about is 5-star, but I think the staff, bowling alley, food, beer and mellowness is enough for a 4star review.

Solid bowling, nice bar, good times. They have beer specials I think. I like bowling. They have bowling. Much nicer than your average dank pit.

Local bowling alley. We only heard about this place because of a Living Social. Two games, shoe rental for two, appetizer and two beers for only $ 15… we had to give it a try. This place is definitely a DIVE, so do not expect anything more than exactly that– but for what it’s worth– we found it quiet comfortable endearing. Everyone seemed to know everyone else. At first we felt like outsiders, but as our food /beers came(delivered from the bar to our seats in the alley) — someone made a joke about my boyfriend’s shirt(all in good fun) and then we felt like we were ‘one of them’. We had a great time, and even added two more games to our night and we agreed we would come back another time. And what do you know, they ran that Living Social promotion again a few weeks later. Sold.

I like this place, but the you can’t slide on the floors here. I particularly enjoy sliding when I bowl, but this place just doesn’t have it… I like the chicken fingers here. Yum. Burgers are tasty. The service is quite nice. Feels like a neighborhood bowling alley… wait, it is!

This is a great place to bowl and just relax and have a good time before 9PM. Most of the college students start to roll in after this time, so unless you enjoy their company it is probably best to show up before then. The food is typical bar food, prices are reasonable and their salads are actually pretty good, with a lot meat, if you so wish. Drinks are made well and on the stronger side. Tuesday nights they have good specials on 22 oz. beers around $ 2. Come here often with co-workers for lunch, dinner, and/or bowling. Always good service at the front desk and at the bar, as well as the wait staff.
