Recently went to a work holiday party at Arsenal Bowling Lanes. This place has been here forever and I can remember coming here as a kid when you had to keep track of your own score with paper.
Arsenal Bowling is in a very cramped space (for a bowling alley) so there's not much space to hang out and enjoy your drink behind your lane. Srangers are constantly walking through your group and bumping into you.
The bowling balls are pretty beat up, there's not much selection, and most of the balls don't even have their weight on them. The food is typical fried bar food and overpriced. The drinks are very overpriced. Only one bartender was working so the wait at the bar was terribly long. We had to keep skipping turns for the people going for drinks becuase it took them so long to get back.
Compared to a fancy bowling alley like Jillian's in Boston, Arsenal is extremely ghettotastic.
This is really a 1-star kind of place, but I'm giving a 2nd becuase it's a Pittsburgh Classic.
