| - As a casual bowler, I've bowled at Arsenal more times than I can remember. It's a great place to go with friends, bowl, and enjoy the retro-styled lanes...and do so at a reasonable price!
Bowling can add up, but most nights (and Saturday afternoons), Arsenal has all-you-can-bowl for between $8-10 for 3 hour windows. Each night has a different vibe to it (80's night!), but overall, the one vibe that's consistent is that Arsenal is a fun, relaxed place to bowl. They don't adhere to the cheesy midnight glow bowling approach to make money, so you're not going to find kids everywhere. Bring your ID, as you'll definitely be carded at the door. This is a bowling alley geared towards adults. It's old school and fits perfect into the persona of Lawrenceville.
My only complaints would be geared to more "serious" bowlers. If you care one bit about oil patterns, etc., be prepared to experience less-than-stellar conditions...especially during special hours. While it's hardly surprising at $8/3 hours, bone dry lanes can be pretty annoying. You'll also likely be annoyed by the vintage ball returns when you're on the even numbered lanes, as they can get in the way if you kick back at all. Therefore, come to Arsenal ready to have a beer a bowl for fun. If you're going to be serious, you'll probably just end up frustrated.
