Reviews of Exeter Bowling Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Josh Page

Took my family here to bowl the kids working there where real friendly and good people. We had fun and it was affordable definitely will stop in again to win some more games

Brandon H

Nice old fashioned feel, good food, and employees are nice. Only 4 stars because the place could use a little tlc.

Dana Dixon

Usually it was good. Just this time we used lane 6, bowled three stings and the pin resetting thing over heated and broke. Although this was Labor day weekend, I still think there should of been someone to fix the thing. No worries it's a great place to bring your kids on a rainy Labor Day!

I was in Shooters. The customers and staff were very friendly. I had a good time and made some friends.

Kevin Smith

Came back after 30 plus years and the place has the same charm! Had a great time with friends bowling candle pins.

Erika Bissonette

I go there every year for bowling

Devyn Robinson

Good prices and friendly, accommodating staff

A. Dodge

We had a fun packed 2 hours of bowling, pizza and cake with some arcade action at the end. They were even kind enough to let us have a contained silly string battle in the parking lot. Highly recommend for a birthday party!!

Jake Bourn

Nice family place

Julie Labonte

Small town bowling alley with lots of fun to be had!! Very friendly and helpful.

Vincent Hurley

Greatest Sports complex in NH

Claudia Brown

Small, old and staff isn't very friendly. We went in with kids to bowl. They have candlepin only. This place seemed more of a local hangout than a place to bowl with your family.

Annie Picard

Great

Sandra Daniels

Great bar with outside area. Outside has fire pits and corn hole as well as Adirondack Chris. Bowling, darts, and pool. Great friendly service. Party room available. Great for big party or small party. Hand tossed pizza recommended. Check out their events or bowling league.

Clare McGrath

The best pizza in NH, by far! The vibe with the bowling, pool tables, lighting and amazing staff makes this place the TO GO on the weekends and weekdays after work. Always excited to come back!

Matt Curran

Great spot for the kids. Lots of fun.

Kelly Mertinooke

I am a paraplegic and they are very welcoming. Always someone around who is willing to assist! It's a great family place!

Tim Harrington

Great time bowling with the kids in an old fashioned bowling alley and the party room is decent size. They also have a arcade section. They have good pizza, foods and drinks served from a pub connected. And for adults the pub offers pool tables, large TV's with bar and table seating. They have fenced in outdoor area with Corn Hole Board Bean bag toss games and out door seating great fun for all ages.

Robert Leonard

Great time, fun for the whole family!

Andy Ulery

Mark Sampson

Stepping inside Exeter lanes and seeing the well maintained old lanes can easily make you think you've traveled back in time!

Marita Mathie

A great, family oriented place. Candlepin Bowling at it's best! I bowl with a Women's League here on Monday nights. We have a lot of fun, and, you don't even have to be an expert bowler to play with us! They have a party room for birthdays and other occasions. And if you're looking to have a drink, watch the game on a big screen, play pool, or darts, Shooters Pub is right next door. Love this place!

ken lord

Good hangout great people

Mary Conant

This is a great place for candlepin bowling, it's quaint with 12 lanes and you can also get lunch and pizza as well as cocktails. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Jerry Held

A very relaxed place with plenty of activities available including dart boards, pool tables and corn hole courts in the back yard. All the equipment is in good shape. Pizza seems to be popular. I have not tried The food and drink. Plenty of tv's to watch the game on. The bowling is candle pin style that everyone should try at least once. Be prepared to fail at this at first, many gutter balls.

randi Wilson

Stopped in for drinks and pizza for lunch with Katy at Shooter's Pub. It's adjacent to the bowling lanes :-) had a wonderful time and enjoyed seeing all of the children coming through going to birthday parties at the lanes. Great family atmosphere at the lanes or in shooters. Love hanging out there :-)

John Costanzo

Awesome old fashion bowling alley. You have to write your scores on a score sheet.

Zackary King

Great place!

Anthony Nichols

Great place to go with a family. Me and my sister come here on the weekends during our vacation from work every year, I've been coming here ever since I was little. I even drive by this place all the time when I go get grain at the grain store for my chickens as well. Nice people, especially good prices!

Perry Hanges

Great time today. Thanks

Simon G Spanier

Good venue, helpful, friendly people

Aragon Strider

Very fun

Sue & Bob Brusa

Cool place fun

Robert Brown

Real candlepin action in this house + food and drinks

samantha chepulis

Very nice staff, fun candlepin alley!

Dan Vorosmarty

One of the few remaining all-candlepin bowling alleys (in the seacoast area at least). Reasonable prices, old school feel.

Jonathan Lindsay

To be honest, it's just kinda funny

Angie Wesner

Cozy and family friendly. Great food too

Joe O'Sullivan

Great place great time. Brought grandkids. Good old fashioned candlepin. Clean friendly little family place maybe a dozen lanes since 1940s same ownership. Love old school studf

Brian Dillard

Great place! Went on an off day, and it wasn't very crowded, but staff was courteous, and the family had fun for a reasonable price (much more reasonable than some of the other bowling places). Place has a very old vibe, but that's not a bad thing. Parking is tight, but that's the only negative.

Ty L

Maybe not the most modern bowling alley, but it's always clean and they have fair prices. The food is mediocre, but I came here to bowl, not to eat. Nice staff and great experience overall.

Daniel Negri

Good place to have a drink

bruce merrill

Fun place. Its older and smaller then a lot of places but it's still a blast.

Tami Gunst

It was a very fun place to spend the evening and have a fundraiser for my daughter’s school.

Ella Johnson

My family is new to the area and we've been surprised by how kind and friendly people around here have been but tonight for the first time we went to the Exeter Bowling Lanes for my 9 year old brother's birthday. Right away when we walked in the workers were so unfriendly. Later my mom tried to get soda from the pub and the lady told her to get it from the vending machine. But that would mean wasting a ton of plastic for no reason so we went back and they finally gave us drinks but with a awful attitude and a somewhat sassy tone. I've never once written one of these reviews but for the first time ever it was needed.

Steve Elefson

Old school alley adjacent to an old school bar. Can order a drink and have it while you bowl. Pins seem to fall more easily than usual, but I'm not complaining. Nice people and chill atmosphere.

TomLee Mullins

It is an older place that has some things that need to be repaired or replaced. It was fun doing candlestick bowling but I am used to big pin bowling. It is cash only but they do have an ATM in the bar. Charges money for use.

Alex Iannicelli

Bowling is good, pool and darts are good. Food is good.

Roman Horoszewski

Lots of fun. Surprisingly good pizza for a bowling alley.

Brian Dillard

Unbelievable attention was given to our hockey team that helped us celebrate our sons bday. We had to kill time between 2games and they allowed us time to have the party and fun the kids needed. Highly recommend this place
