South Boston Candlepin

Known locally as Southie Bowl, this family-run alley has kept traditional candlepin habits going for over twenty years. Rounds rely on smaller balls, slender pins, and a push button to reset the rack between frames. Staff behind the desk will readily explain the manual scoring to beginners, while active leagues run five nights a week and in-house pro John offers pointers. Off the lanes, the space stays lively with sports on TV, a TouchTunes jukebox, and a counter pouring cheap beer alongside craft selections.
