Ten Pin Alley — Local services in Manistique

My husband Jerry and I are traveling the country for three months. We happen to stop in Manistique as a layover to our next destination. We went out for dinner and on our way back to our hotel, Jerry saw this little bowling alley and we decided we had to check it out. What an awesome experience! We met Rick, the owner and his friend Jim who was bartending. They were both charming! Rick told us he just opened the place a week ago after being closed for 11 years. The place was so nostalgic with a Pac Man machine, jukebox, handwritten score cards and $3 beers! We had a blast bowling, even though we were terrible!

This place will wring you dry. A group of four of us went and bowled four games, ate one pretzel each, and each had two drinks. I had two cokes, my girlfriend two diet cokes, Kenny had two root beers, and Destiny had one water and they gave her a sprite she didn’t order and charged her for it! I expected the bill to be high. If this were the Bowl-o-rama in Escanaba we would’ve payed somewhere around $70-$80. At this place $131 even. Absolutely ludicrous, I’ll never be back and I warn...
