They're very well kept and one can see how much they care about this establishment. Scoring is done old fashioned on pencil and paper, so if you have trouble counting to one hundred this might be difficult for you. Parents could definitely turn it into a fun adding exercise for kids while learning to bowl. There is a small snack bar inside that sells beverages and some food. Basic menu, no fancy gluten free options that I saw. I believe it was cash or check only, but please call. I heard they also do groupons!

I visited PiNZ in Kingston, MA on a Saturday afternoon with my 2-year-old for a quick lunch. Upon…read moreentering, there wasn't a single employee in sight. I had to walk through the entire establishment and arcade to the host desk, where I was told to seat myself in the restaurant area, and that someone would be over shortly. After waiting for 10 minutes, a server approached and told me he'd be with me in a moment. Another 10 minutes passed, and I went up to the bar to order drinks and a kids' meal, along with an appetizer. After at least 45 more minutes, my toddler was becoming irritable due to hunger. When the food finally arrived, it was cold and not even what I had ordered. I explained to the server that I wanted to pay for the drinks and leave, and his response was, "There are other people I need to take care of first." While I know the server wasn't entirely to blame, this experience was a complete disaster. PiNZ is supposed to be a family-friendly place, but this was my third time dining here, and every visit has been extremely disappointing. As someone who has worked in the service industry for years, I'm honestly baffled that this place is still open. Service is terrible. Food is terrible. You couldn't pay me to come back.

Others come here because it's a non--pretentious place to drink amidst a Target and what is otherwise desolation. The bartenders are friendly and they have a decent beer selection--though they could stand to add some more adventurous IPAs. If you're trapped at the Independence Mall...sorry...the "Kingston Collection"...Whatever...the place that killed Waxys and a venue called Starbucks (not that Starbucks!) and a host of other businesses, including Medieval Starship (aka the real virgin megastore)...regardless...check out Pinz. It's a bright light that could turn around Kingston's retail fortunes.

Alley Kat Lane - Kingston, MA…read more I took my 4-year-old to Alley Kat Lane on March 25th for a much-needed break and some fun. We've had a little health scare recently, so we're making it a priority to keep him active and out of the house. I hadn't been to Alley Kat in years, so stepping back inside and seeing the updated arcade was exciting--especially because they have some of the coolest and most unique games around. And trust me, we've been to a lot of arcades in the area, so we know our games. We checked the hours beforehand--open until 10 PM. The parking lot was hopping, and you could hear the bowling balls crashing into pins from outside. But when we walked in, disappointment hit fast--the entire arcade was shut down. Just as I was about to give my best "are you kidding me?" face, I asked an employee about their usual closing time. And here's where the magic happened... They turned the entire arcade back on. Just. For. Us. If that isn't top-tier customer service, I don't know what is! Huge shout-out to Lucas, who went above and beyond. Not only did he get everything up and running, but he also took the time to chat with my son about his Venom shirt and favorite superheroes. The prize selection was another major win--no cheap Dollar Tree trinkets here. My son had his heart set on a giant gumball machine (2,000ish tickets), but after going all-in on the claw machines, we came up short. Luckily, they had a smaller but still awesome gumball machine for under 1,000 tickets, complete with gumballs. Honestly, I can't wait to go back. Part of me wants to gatekeep this hidden gem, but places that prioritize real customer experiences over money grabs deserve the recognition. Plus, the candlepin bowling and arcade are separate from the busier lanes, making it a perfect spot for families. So, if you're looking for a local spot that's not just another overpriced, overhyped entertainment center, Alley Kat Lane is it. And to Lucas and the rest of the amazing staff--my son said you made not just his day, but his entire life. We'll see you again soon!

That's both welcome and unfortunate - depending on what you want. If you like a bargain, are good with just the bare essentials, and like nostalgia, this is a great place for you. And be sure to bring a quarter to play "Mortal Kombat." If you like amenities like "making reservations on-line", "food that isn't from a vending machine", or "a bar", then this place isn't for you. For me, the price is excellent (pay by string, bowling shoes included!), it's in my town, and it has all that I need to kill some time and teach my Little Girl about bowling - including bumpers for kids - so it's just about perfect.
