Reviews of Sawyer's Bowladrome (Bowling Alley)

Kathy Musiak

I was afraid we would not be able to get a lane, but it wasn't busy. That kind of made me a little sad. I hope business is OK. It was a lot of fun. There are 6 lanes and the bowling area is immaculate. It is just so clean. Shoes are free and kids can play in socks if shoes don't fit or they just don't like them. You pay by the hour and not by the game. This would have been more cost effective if it were my family of 4, but it seemed a tiny bit expensive for the two of us. It was worth it though. Also, the bumpers are broken, but I needed them more than my 6 year old. I kind of forgot how to play. This place is brighter and nicer than the one on Mill St. in Worcester. Plus, staff was nicer too. I can't wait to go back. Maybe we can have a bowling birthday party this year.

Friendly owner, and an overall great time for everyone.

Bring back the memories

Really intimate place to bowl, it almost feels like you're bowling in a candelpin speakeasy because the low ceiling gives it a basement feel. If you're lucky you'll see the cutest fluffy dog. *Cash only, there is an ATM

David Guimond

Nostalgic Fun! Only 6 lanes and low ceilings make this a cute little place. 25 bucks an hour per lane with shoes? Good deal to me! Only down side is the close quarters.

Bring cash. Very old school and cool

A classic, love this place.

Sean Flynn

Old school New England candlepin bowling, a great location for a group activity or just to have fun with the kids. No computers to keep score, so you need to use a pencil and pay attention.

Amie Humphrey Facendola

Sawyer's is a classic New England candlepin alley. It's extremely reasonably priced. It's clean. The owner is friendly. It's definitely a hidden gem!

Amanda Woodward

What a great family outing. Very nice staff. Incredible deal. Comfortable environment. Not too noisy like other bowlingng places.

Pam Williams

First time trying candlepin bowing and loved it. We also loved learning about the history of the place. Great place for a family outing or group activity because of the intimacy of the space and quietness of the environment!

Phil R

No wait time here when we went for a great candlepin bowling experience. Staff are friendly shoes included for free, manual scoring with pencil and paper, but automated pin clearing and standing, ball return etc. Good clean fun at this place!

Benjamin Fabrycki

Old school candle pin in the basement. 6 lanes of fun and great owners. Cash only but the prices are great and totally worth it.

Brian

Great place. This is a 1950's bowling alley that still looks much like it probably did when it opened. Reasonable prices, $25 for a lane for an hour, shoes included. Old school fun.

John Jones

Fun with children. Very friendly manager/operator. Do call ahead, because there are only 6 lanes & only one lane with gutter bumpers. (I needed the bumpers more than the kids did.)

A. Muto

Old very poor lanes.

Ben Crosby

Phenomenal little place! A piece of history. Super friendly staff.

Nice. Old fashion candlepin bowling alley

Kimberly Kingerski

Authentic. Perfect just the way it is. Very retro and the owner is very helpful and super nice

Michael Arroyo

Old school bowling, straight up

Kara Bogasky

Great rates. $2.22 Tuesday. You might have to wait a bit on Tuesday just because it's such a popular deal. You pick the theme of the bowling screen. Fun place. Not the best tacos.

Russell Roberto

Small cozy alley with no distractions for kids so the stay interested in bowling.

Joy Desper

Lorraine Todd

Kathy Flynn

Fun and reasonably priced candlepin bowling!

Ronni-Lynn Lindeman

I come here every time I come home! I love it! It's so great for the family. Even my 1 1/2 year old sat on her bum and pushed a ball down. love it and plan to have it be a tradition for my kids too. If I lived there I would definitely have the kids bday party there. It is family run and appreciate that....rare these days. Give Earnie a big hug if you go! He is so sweet!
