| - This place is AMAZING. Certainly one of the things I miss most about Pittsburgh. If you love to bowl, you owe it to yourself to head to Arsenal Lanes. If you hate to bowl, you owe it to yourself to head to Arsenal Lanes.
My dad remembers going here decades ago; I remember going here half a decade ago. It's cool to know we were both hip 20-somethings going to a hole-in-the-wall bowling alley. The alley's on the second floor of a building, surprisingly enough, and there's a full bar to meet your needs. Forget those gigantic, warehouse-style, fluorescently-lit bowling centers of the 80s and 90s: this place is the real deal. Good, inoffensive lighting, a special on bowling (and drinks) every night of the week, and a way to make it family- and adult-friendly during regular hours. Despite its being more old-fashioned, they do have up-to-date scoring machines for those of you who are timid about keeping score by hand. ;)
College night was always my favorite. Bring an I.D. saying you're 21, a college I.D., and you get games for 50 cents and beers for 50 cents. Can't beat that! I've yet to come across a bowling alley with a comparable deal anywhere.
Oh, I miss this place so much. Please go there and bowl a few frames for me.
