Arsenal Bowl is a cute nostalgic bowling alley in Lawrenceville, so my family though we'd spend the evening there bowling. They are cash only and the ATM charges a $2.95 fee to withdraw money. No, it's not uncommon to see a fee assessed, but CASH ONLY tells you quite a bit about the establishment not to mention they are also collecting a fee from their patrons. I will not be back as other bowling lanes have much more to offer.
Went on a Saturday night. Flat 10.95 rate for bowling, 4 bucks for shoes. Drinks can be a little pricey, but the DJ was excellent! Gives away free shirts every so often as well.
Had a great time with my teammates at SHAPE Training. Everything was nice. Staff could have been more friendly.
Very cool alley. I was in town for a bit and just stumbled in off the street to check it out.
House Balls aren't very uniform but i found a unique one i could spin into the pocket so it worked out.
The set up of the ball return means if you're on the right lane of a pair your foot may hit it every throw.
Love the nostalgia here! It can get busy, so look into making reservations ahead of time. Staff are helpful. Full bar on site with food and booze.
Good price for 21+ three hours of bowling on Saturday nights. Clean environment and friendly/helpful staff. Could use more variety in drinks (not many cocktail options).
Best bowling alley ever! Has an awesome speakeasy feel to it. The bartenders make solid drinks and the prices are on point. I am shocked about the negative reviews pertaining to the staff I always find them to be friendly and down to earth. The lanes are old school and I never have any issues, in fact they have some of the fastest ball returns I have ever seen.
What a fun time. I'm a fan of bowling, beer and bar food, and they hit all three nails on the head. The decor is vintage, with the old ball returns and score machines. Will definitely be back for more.
Good place to hangout and spend some night time. Not the best but only one that opens after midnight (till 2 am). They Only accept Cash.
A lot of fun! Especially Thursday night with djs music
Fun night out especially on Thursday nights. Reasonably priced fir unlimited bowling
Super cool place to bowl. Only downside is that it's cash only
The best bowling alley in Pittsburgh with great staff and good quality infrastructure. Not that expensive and serves decent food for a non-restaurant.
