Chelsea Lanes Inc — Local services in Chelsea

I have been bowling here for 10 years with 8 of those years on a league.

The staff is nice and the lane prices are slightly lower than average. Food and drinks are good quality and available for typical alley prices. They work with the local Cottage Inn to have their pizza delivered as well. I recommend the alley's burgers.

The owner, Eddie, gives lessons for a reasonable price for any level of bowler or can recommend a coach.

The interior had a classic vibe that I actually enjoyed. It added to the whole nostalgic experience, like stepping into a time capsule of good times and questionable fashion choices (acid...

Alright well let's start on the reason behind me rating this bowling alley a 5. First off, yes I when you see it passing by on m52 it does not look like much but that right there is a great thing and let me tell you why. When a bowling alley is completely flashy and makes itself obvious that its a bowling alley spot then yes bowlers will flock to it. Thankfully for us chelsea folks we get the nice undercover knowledge of what the place really is. which in turn means more open lanes for us! Besides that, I promise everything if you guys decide to try this place out you'll not regret it:) amazing food, great drinks, amazing owner who's name is Eddie Greenleaf! Come visit this place and have a blast especially on their awesome Saturday night glow bowl it's a great time for...
