Glassport Lanes

New to Pittsburgh in 2019 & having prior knowledge of duckpin lanes existing in Pittsburgh. robinsweb.com/duckpin when searching for duckpin lanes in Memphis after moving from Mass. None are available surrounding Memphis & struck out never thinking upon duckpin until living here. One night when experiencing boredom with nothing happening & recalling duckpin's presence. My google search led me here & decided to leave & experience an old childhood joy not experienced since 2015. Upon entry & taking notice of their nostalgic decor. It made me reminisce spending time Saturday mornings & bowling with Walco's youth league for 6 years (87-93). Number of lanes here are reasonable but I would find quieter times myself for a bowling session. Becoming spoiled by modern technology offered by newer or upgraded lanes. Old school pencil & bowling sheets put me off a second until becoming reacquainted with manual scoring again. According to my observations, employees keep lanes maintained to adequate standards including superb waxed lanes & unwarped wood. In comparison to other lanes their in house balls have minimal chipping, maintaining smoothness & fine gloss without moisturizing dry balls with wet rags everytime. Customer service impressed me with their kindness assisting me with beginning my bowling experience, receiving my shoes & assigning me a lane fast. Beyond their counter service pride in maintaining cleanliness inside the building & bowlers seating areas impress me anticipating future visits & pleasurable relaxing bowling experiences. Glassport Lanes is cash only & an ATM is available across the street at Carol's Cafe. No food or drinks sold here & suggest gabbing cold ones or delicious food from Carol's Cafe or use any food delivery apps. (I've also reviewed Carol's Cafe be sure to check that out) Be sure to like on FB & tell a friend Glassport Lanes: https://www.facebook.com/pages/glassport-lanes/120191327998194 Carol's Cafe:https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Cafe/Carols -cafe1531648697101745/

I used to play on a league here when I was young. I recently saw that they still have the league and can't wait to sign my daughter up. It is so nice to see that the bowling alley is still up and running.

Cardboard Bruno they took pictures and had a great time they brought in swingee to provide entertainment wow she can really move when she bowls

This is the only rubber band duck pin bowling alley open to everyone in the area (heck maybe in the USA!). It is a type of bowling most people don't know about and a living breathing time warp to a different time. AJ, the owner is extremely nice and helpful. If you want a totally different type of bowling or want to play on a living relic, this is the place. Try your hand at a niche type of bowling not found everywhere and give it a shot. Breaking 100 is an achievement. Breaking 150 is a triumph. Give it a shot if you want to try a totally different experience from ten pin bowling.
