As the weather cools down, you might be looking for something fun to do indoors. Bowling is a fun way to stay active and connected during the long winter months. Best of all, the bowling scene here is friendly and welcoming to bowlers of all skill levels. Find your new favorite bowling alley on our short list of local recommendations:

Lucky Strike Fenway

Lucky Strike brings a classic bowling alley vibe to West Roxbury. The neon glow lights up 16 lanes alongside a vintage arcade space. At night, Lucky Strike comes alive with a DJ, dancing, and 21+ lounge area. This spot is one of the hippest in West Roxbury and a must-bowl for bowlers of all ages and skill levels.

Ron’s Gourmet Ice Cream & Bowling

Bowling and ice cream is the crossover event we didn’t know we needed. Ron’s is serving up delicious scoops and an old-timey ice cream parlor vibe. The seasonal menu is constantly updated with new, unique flavors. Ron’s even offers a variety of coconut milk-based options for those who prefer their ice cream dairy-free. When you’ve had your fill of ice cream, head over to the authentic 70’s, 10-lane bowling alley. Join a league, book a space, throw a party, or simply stop by on a Saturday to bowl some spares!

Better Off Bowling

Part bowling alley, part social club, Better Off Bowling is the quintessential community hub for West Roxbury. Here you’ll find casual fare and beverages to enjoy while you bowl. Better Off welcomes anyone and everyone to try their hand at this beloved sport. As one Yelper put it, “The league has a social focus, which is great for me since I kind of suck at bowling (but no one really cares).”

With so many fantastic options for bowling alleys in West Roxbury, you’ll be tempted to join a league or two in no time. If all that bowling leaves you exhausted, you can perk up by visiting one of our top recommended cafes in the area.
