Boston Bowl, Bowling alley in Dorchester, Boston, US.
Boston Bowl is a recreation facility in Dorchester with multiple bowling lanes, pool tables, and arcade games spread across its space on Morrissey Boulevard. The venue combines these activities under one roof for casual outings or group events.
Boston Bowl opened in the mid-20th century as a bowling venue and has remained part of the neighborhood's entertainment landscape. The facility has operated continuously through decades of community change.
Local bowling leagues gather at Boston Bowl weekly, fostering community connections and maintaining the tradition of competitive bowling in Massachusetts.
The facility is open until midnight Sunday through Thursday, with extended hours until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Visitors should note that later hours attract a more social crowd focused on evening entertainment.
The venue offers both traditional ten-pin bowling and candlepin bowling, a regional New England variation that uses thinner pins and smaller balls. This style creates a different game experience than what most bowlers from other regions know.
