| - If you like eclectic, old-school, Lebowski-style ball tossing, Dormont Lanes is THE spot.
This place embodies all that is bowling culture. It's split between automatic scoring and self-scoring (have to be able to count to self-score, warning - after many drinks this may become difficult), is super, super affordable, with a very random staff, and BYOB! Just don't put your bottles near the lane ... the lane attendants will make sure you are aware that it is not allowed. They're pretty strict dudes who I think throw 250+, so you just respect it.
The jukebox is free. Bathrooms always seem clean. Only food is a vending machine and an ice cream cooler (novelties) - but there is a Little Caesar's upstairs.
It is not trendy - and you cannot compare it to Arsenal, Lokay, or anything normal, really.
I BYO shoes too, although I believe they are typically included in the price - there's also usually a special going on (3 games for $10-11, or AYCB for $12 or so). They don't have a website, so I'd recommend calling - they do take reservations.
Good luck, and may you bowl many turkeys.
