Usually when we do a spotlight on a Boston business it is a favorite place to eat, or maybe a local shop with interesting finds or great deals. This time around it’s something different. Better Off Bowling is a social bowling league with leagues in Boston, NYC, DC, and Philadelphia. I really should let them do the explaining.
The Better Off Bowling Social Bowling League is a casual/non-competitive bowling league that helps bring together young professionals to bowl, socialize, and meet new people during the cold dark winter months. The league is composed principally of individuals 21 to early 30’s and tends to be more about hanging out with everyone at the after-bowling bar afterwards than trying to bowl that perfect game.
The league exists in New York, Philadelphia, DC, and Boston. The Boston league bowls at Lucky Strike Lanes in Kenmore and is composed of over 80 teams with nearly 700 members (6-10 members per team). Bowling is only $58 total for 6 weeks of bowling (1.5 hrs every Sunday), which includes free shoe rentals, a mid-season bar crawl, and End-of-Season party with dancing and free kegs of beer! That’s cheaper than bowling as an individual!
The next session registration will open ~Jan 26, and bowling starts Feb 21st. To get more info and receive registration updates, join the Boston facebook group – Boston Social Bowling League.
Oh, and don’t worry, almost everyone is not much of a bowler.
What keeps so many people coming back to Better Off Bowling is the social aspect. The bowling probably doesn’t hurt, but it is a great time and a great way to meet new people.
