Othman Khiari: Bad service

Steevenson Daniel: Been coming here more recently since I started working in the area. Aldo makes the best long islands and Adli always comes by to make small talk and crack jokes. the music is always dope and being able to play pool while watching the games is a fun added bonus compared just sitting and drinking while watching it. Half of the games be commercial breaks anyways so need something to do. 10/10

Jiovanni Ghazaleh: Thank you manager Mica and my new favorite bartender Albi what a vibe and experience because everything was great but with the it went from great to a once in a live time experience thank you Mica and Albi for the great vibes I work in customer service and they exceed all expectations and more thank you both I will be back to this location solely for the love I receive you can tell they love there job and treating people how they should be. Ps.: great drink ahahah

Jeff Scott: Closed early on a Saturday night

Damir Mangan: this place is awsome and all the games are very fun to bring to your family and the food and drinks are great.

Elyias Prieto: Best arcade games ever. Mica definitely the best worker there without a single doubt. Food is actually pretty good as well. Definitely recommend

Gerald Jakaitis: Lots of games, food and drinks. Good place for kids and adults 👍It's very busy on weekends so you have to come early if you want to play pool or bowling. Waiting times could be 4-5 hours

Karii: I went to lucky strike Saturday noon with a couple of friends and the waitress Camille was very helpful and polite. Best experience so far.

Reid Harris: The bartenders were very rude and could easily tell by watching that they were very racist. I left and got a table, and the server Ari was awesome and saved the experience for me and my friends.

Justin Inzano: My family and I visited Lucky Strike over the weekend. Had an awesome time in the arcade. Great bartenders, and Kelly the manager was of great help with what to see and do in the area while we were visiting.Will definitely be back!

Adelin Michel: Terrible service in my experience, we order chicken quesadillas then I was moved to another table 45 minutes passed so I went to check on the food at the bar to my surprise they had our food sitting the whole time on the counter the fries were so hard, and the quesadillas cold and saggy we couldn’t even finish it eating, nothing was offered to competition

Badis boussetta: one of the worst services you'll ever experience

Kenny Montero: Jason is the man! Great games! Great food! Great drinks! Great time!

Billy Carnes: Mica and Cayla provided great service, we had a great time! If your in the area come through

Orquidia Paulino: Celeste was amazing! Super attentive and friendly. 10/10!

John Walter Gutierrez Correa: Let's play...

Bill Christian: Fun low key duck pin lanes, great employees

Morgan Siska: Very kind and courteous staff. A small, comfortable, and local atmosphere.

Melody Cao: Did not expect this place to be candlepin bowling, it’s not real bowling which was kind of disappointing. Plus there’s no competitiveness or point system, you just either need to keep track yourself or just play mindlessly. This took away the fun of bowling by a whole lot. However, the flatbread pizza was SO GOOD. Oh my goodness that was some of the best pizza I’ve had in a while. I forgot which one specifically, but it had some white sauce drizzled and it was so good! The pineapple Hawaiian pizza was also delicious!! Unfortunately, I was not happy with the dessert: Chocolate Raspberry Whoopie Sundae. This was such a disappointment. It didn’t taste good at all, the ice cream was so mid, and it overall just tasted bad. Even worse bc I was so excited. That was a 1/5. But the pizza from earlier def made up for it.

Dustin Lemke: First time candlepin bowling and the employees were very helpful! Good selection of beer and pizza, too!

Torie Cotton: I came here about 2 years ago and was blown away by the place. The food, staff, and experience was just overall amazing. This time around was a complete let down. Our server appeared once and then we never saw them again - when I went to the counter to place an order at the lanes, I was told to place an order with my server. When I told them that we hadn't seen them since we sat at the lanes, the cashier person supposedly went to go find them but we never saw our server after that and the cashier person never said anything. The only time someone spoke to us was when they saw us putting on our shoes. Issa wrap for me.

Dan M: Great pizza, plenty of parking in the area, and a fun bowling time! Definitely try to reserve a lane. They have great beer on tap and again the pizza is top notch!

Jesse Tordoff: Great for large groups!

Gavin Pitt: Pretty tight inside, but still a five star experience. Great selection of beers/drinks/flat bread pizzas to pair with hours of fun candlepin bowling!!!!!!!!

Matt Auerbach: Total disappointment. Don’t show up on a Saturday without a reservation! Walked in at 1pm on Saturday and was told a lane would be free at 3pm. Show up at 3pm to be toldIt will be closer to 5-6pm. Wish we got a truthful estimate as we waited around for 2hrs for nothing! Major strikeout

AM: First time candlepin bowling, and it was a success 😀

Joseph Colantonio: Just an incredible place with welcoming vibes. Our group of 9 showed up with (accidentally) no reservation on a Sunday night, but they found us a space to sit and eat in less than 30 minutes. Then, basically as we finished eating, we promptly got word that there were lanes open for us to play. Shoe rental and 'bottle service' on the lanes were perfect.Pizza-wise, they have pretty good options and super fast service. Our waitress was a trooper dealing with 9 people that are horrible at coordination. Food would be maybe 9/10 just because the pizza is relatively thin and not quite as filling as we hoped, but we got 6 pies for 9 people.Overal, 10/10 night thanks to Sacco's!

Jennifer Liang: First time candlepin bowling, and it was tons of fun!

Arel Cordero: I can't believe it took me so long to find this place. Love it!

Beth Budner: Aside from all this confusion & craziness given our remodeling, hey, at least my enthusiastic Chevarim Chaim group & I made the most of the above latter two situations & still had a great time anyway.My only suggestion is hopefully offering some nice 'n healthy snack options for our loyal bowlers out there once the renovation wraps up (i.e. Small ice cream dishes and/or Dark CHOC bars).Beth Budner, Auburndale, MA, 02466!

Sophia W: So much fun for a night out, we had a work party here and it was really fun! Great energy and atmosphere

Alexx Niss: Brought my students here for a bowling field trip and the staff was awesome and respectful! definitely will be coming back! THANK YOU ♥️♥️

Darius Corcoran: Great staff awesome pizza and good old fashion bowling went there for a birthday will definitely be back

Tyler Sorenson: Delicious pizza and fun atmosphere.

Badr Tejado: Worth checking out for the pizza alone. Real wood fire pizza ovens producing top notch pizza. Attended a kid birthday party. The combination of bowling and pizza is good fun for the kids, especially in the cold winter months. Oh, and you can get adult beverages too. There is a public parking lot across the street.

Veronica Lopez-Doherty: Love it, BYOB

Katelyn Sullivan: Great candle pin bowling alley in east boston. BYOB drinks + food is a perk as well. Highly recommend! Chuck the owner is great too.

Daniel Chouinard: Best bowling alley in the area

Robert Lyttle: Old school bowling alley with charm.

Hector Longoria: Odd but fun....not sure I'll be able to get used too it but it's hilarious trying

Jessica Snyder: Was looking for candlepin bowling while we had family visiting for a fun activity and Saccos was booked out and the next closest place was in Wakefield. So we gave Central Park Lanes a shot after calling and checking first to see if they were busy. And they were completely empty when we went there on a summer Sunday afternoon. Had the place to our selves! The location has street parking, shoe rentals, 24 lanes (12 downstairs and 12 upstairs), and they let us bring in our own food and beverage! Which made for a really cheap family activity. I think the lanes were $25 an hour and shoe rental is $4 each. You keep your own score and have to press a button to reset the pins but I liked the old school technology and it was well maintained (although a bit run down). Likewise this place was cash only. We had a great time. First time candlepin bowling they gave you instructions and we just went for it! Would return to bring visitors again.

Joseph Menna: They were closed when we showed up an hour before closing

Jeff A: The best

Mike Heap: Mark and the Boys at C.P.L. were awesome! My son and I traveled from Utah and they gave us a true New England experience. They took time to teach us to score, gave us some pointers and made us feel welcome. The price was great. C.P.L. Bowling is the real McKoy. These guys hit it out of the park!

Brendan Baldonado: Old school candle pin bowling. Affordable

Keith Tyree: Absolutely love this place! Paper scoring and no frills. Would recommend coming here for some Candlepin Bowling then checking out the surrounding neighborhood. Good prices as well.

Harry Linfield: Amazing gem in east Boston highly recommend

Clark Wray: Fun family activity in a nostalgic setting with friendly staff.

Black Dragon: I've been going to these lanes since I was about 3yrs old --now 44-- and the only thing that has changed is the price but still affordable lol. I recommend Central Park Lanes to anyone that plays candel pin and the ppl the work thier have never changed in thier service and attitude. I might be particularly about the lanes I going bowling at but these ones are the best out there bar none.

gina monaco: Thanks, I hate it

Marco Avila: They need to cleen the place

Kayla Croto: love this place!

Stephen Vitale: Very charming classic bowling feel

anthony bruno: Closed right now

Nicole BG: Non computerized candle pin bowling. It's super fun. Bring food and drinks and enjoy.

Karen Higgins: Atmosphere is spot on..staff and food fantastic..bowling and drinks.. perfection at its best..

Holly Buehlmann: The bar tenders turned away multiple real IDs from the university group I went with and wouldn't accept any form of ID aside from driver's licenses from Massachusetts.

Mick Dunn: Located very near Warrior Ice Arena this is a fantastic place to go before or after a Boston Pride hockey game... perhaps to celebrate? They have great beer selections on tap and a very fine menu featuring wood fired pizza which I found to be most excellent. Try the Flyin' Hawaiian with pulled pork. Mmm Mmm Mmm. They also feature candlepin bowling which is kinda fun to watch while you're enjoying your meal and brew. If you need someplace quieter then this may not be for you but if you enjoy great pizza and beer, and maybe some candlepin, then give American Flatbread Brighton a try. Highly recommended.

Gary Russell: Pizza is above average! Drink consistency from the bar is something you might run into. Service might be slower if large parties are occupying tables.

Sergio Solis Checa: Great place for a group gathering, we were on a party of 10 and had an amazing time there.The drinks are good, just like the service, but pizzas could be better for sureThe bowling is different from what I was used to play, but still is lots of fun.Price is really good and affordable, so come with no concerns, just come and have a great time

CJW: Great place! Candle pin with delicious flatbread pizzas, great salads, and yummy desserts. Extensive beer selection on tap and also tasty cocktails. Really decent prices, and super friendly, helpful, rad staff. 10/10 recommend.

robdunn79: You just can miss here. Fantastic pizza , salad , and beer

Brady: This was my first time trying candlepin bowling. It felt like an arcade game using the skee balls. My group made a reservation and we didn’t have any issues once we arrived. The staff was welcoming, the flatbread pizza was great, and they offered various IPA selections. My group had a great time and I would return again.

je pe: Pizza and drinks are fine

Mike L: Maybe be pleasant for a nice tip huh....

Robert Emery: Other flatbread locations in Amesbury and Somerville are much better.the atmosphere was fine but the pizza was fairly disappointing, though disappointing pizza is still enjoyable.

Daniel Gilson: Customer service is lacking. Ordered pizzas for my family for take out. Had them swap out the veggies on both pizzas to another veggie my kids liked. Pretty normal occurrence for pizza places. When I went to pick up the food I noticed the prices 1 did not reflect the prices on the website and also I was up charged for added veggie to veggie toppings. When I asked about the up-charge for just swapping veggies they told me the computer could not composite for the swap and that I’m stuck with paying the difference. They did not want to take care of the extra charge and I just left with my food. Pizza rating 6.6/10

Beth Lepore: Fast service, takeout cheese pizza was ready when promised and a lifesaver for hungry kids at the track meet across the street. The pizza looked great, a cheesy piece of flat bread as the name promises. However, the prominent flavor was salt, likely to add depth to the otherwise bland mozzarella on the pizza. Probably would order something else next time.

Annabelle Costa: Cute spot with a few lanes to bowl and some decent pizza/flatbread. Came here with my coworkers for our holiday party and it was a good time. 4 stars because the drinks were on the weaker side.

Kaitlin: Celebrated my birthday with about 8-9 friends. We reserved a large table to eat and drink ahead of our bowling reservation, service was slow but the drinks and food were great. They gave us two lanes for bowling, I liked that there weren’t tons of lanes, so it’s not too loud or busy. Drink service was a little slow but that’s ok. Next time I might inquire about the party space upstairs because they have two private lanes.

Gram A: Best Pizza in Brighton!

Rebecca Noymer: Love eating, drinking, and bowling at flatbread brighton! The pizza is really good with classic and unique toppings. Always great local beer selection and friendly staff. Never have to wait too long to bowl, even on a Friday night. A favorite local spot.

Health Enthusiast: Candlepin is $30/5 pers/hrPizza are $16-$26+tax, salad is the only other option but there is gluten free dough. They natural and organic ingredients and sodas.Environment is modern and cute.Parking is pretty bad. 2h free until 8pm, then unlimited. There's a gym in the same block and a fancy parking garage.

Rachel Con: Came for candlepin bowling on a Tuesday evening. We made a reservation but it wasn’t necessary as it wasn’t very crowded. It was our first time candlepin bowling and the host and server were very helpful, as well as attentive checking on us and bringing us drinks. We ordered pizza to go when we were done, and they were very friendly checking us out. I would definitely come back!

Emily Hamman: This place was fun - great drink selection, nice candlepin bowling lanes. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of the pizza - $5 extra for a gluten free crust seems pricy! Hopefully it’s good.

Masha: Really good customer service and good sized lanes for parties - food was middling bar fare but the drinks and atmosphere made up for it.

Oshrat S: Cool place!

Alexei G: I have been here twice for an awesome staff party for work the past 2 years. Much easier place to get a drink than the last place we used! It felt pretty clean and the bartenders were friendly and responsive. They put up with me forgetting what I wanted and asking for recommendations. The arcade games they have are fun. I enjoyed watching my colleagues yell encouragement at the ones playing the Walking Dead shooting zombies game.Also one of the bartenders/bar staff are very cute, they are tall and on the thinner side with a lovely ponytail. They were on the top floor with the bowling. They told me their name however I don't remember it. I know the owner checks this so: please promote them or give them a raise or something. 🙏 They are very sweet, and answered my questions even though it was so busy. Anyways, I am advocating for my work's annual party to be there next year too. Thank you guys!

Eva Sultana: Fun arcade and bowling spot! I’ve been here twice on friend hangs and it’s comparable to Dave & Busters, but much larger in size. There are a ton of games on the 2nd floor like basketball, skeeball, etc. Don’t expect to win good prizes because the ticket to prize ratio is scammy as arcades tend to be. On weekends, it’s packed with children, which isn’t my vibe so I’d avoid those days.Decent bar with options for alcohol and non-alcohol, though I can’t vouch for the food. The upstairs level has bowling, which is well spaced apart too, but expect a 2 hour wait to get a lane. Overall, a good arcade visit since central Boston doesn’t have many of those to begin with.

Will Nicholson: Great family fun spot

Patrick Murray: Brilliant service, friendly staff-only to top it all off with tons of fun games! I wish there was a location closer to me, I enjoyed myself so much here. Can’t wait to come again!

Ksenia Garkavenko: Rude manager and security

Christopher Cellini: Dark, hot and crowded are the 3 words that come to mind. However, there is plenty to do for everyone. Come early for bowling and be prepared to wait around 4 hours for a lane if you come during the height, and especially on weekends. I prefer the open air and size of a spot like Dave and Busters but there were plenty of games to play here. Lousy prize area with many disappointing choices.

James Adamson: International People Beware! Crazy policy of only accepting Passports as ID. Turned away 5 of us all over 30 years old because our government IDs were not passports. No attempt to help us or any flexibility.

Holly Buehlmann: So fun! The bar is totally reasonable with drinks and the games are affordable!

Neshialy Holtz: My husband and I were visiting from Canada. I’m an American citizen. We tried to get in and they denied us because of Canadian ID. We ended up leaving to another place with drinks and they took our ID no problem. They aren’t a fan of anyone who isn’t from Massachusetts. It’s not the first time I’ve heard of them denying someone because of out-of-state/country ID.

Nany ortiz: I just wanted know if this place is acessible??? like for wheelchairs/disabled people?

steven reyes: How you like them apples? Had a blast! Newcomer (first-timer) was not dissapointed! (i've never been there) (first-timer/newcomer), the vibes were immaculate, but the bowling lanes weren't oiled enough (they were not oiled). I brought coconut oil and I brought my own bowling balls I got locked in the bathroom and I called 10 times but it turns out they were closed (private party) , had to spend the night (was not dissapointed)(first time spending the night in the bathroom newcomer) room service was great! the rats were great company! Boom Shacklaka! I love men (big muscular) keep in mind im a big guy, excelent service (im big), wicked cool! I fell asleep at exactly 10:37pm and it was a little chilly (96 degrees), but I don't mind (im a big guy), overall would recommend, I love newyork!

Dorian Qelemeni: Overall a nice and entertaining spot. The drinks could be better. I had 3 vodka sours and they were all different. Very inconsistent.

David Clements Jr.: Had a great time

Tyler Simonds: Some games were broken and staff was minimal to help but I still had fun

Jake Chvatal: + Great arcade games+ Awesome bartender (on Sunday nights!!)+ Pretty good tacos- Food's a bit expensive- A lot of the arcade games were closed for "social distancing"

Eight Ayem: Will never come to this place again!Their wait-list for a pool table was over 10 people (that is over a hour and half wait time) and they had 8 pool tables not being used.(you do the math)Literally had people waiting for a pool table watching empty pool tables collect dust. We were there for an hour and saw 6 tables go unused!Their system maximizes their wait-list while minimizing the actual use of the pool tables. Their system is poor and is inconsiderate of customers. I rather play pool with a stick and 2 rocks before coming here again. Deadass!

Matt Corwin: Amazing place to work and hang out (also I can code a bot that will respond to reviews more realistically for you guys)

Melissa: Bartenders really went back and forth with me because I asked for my drink to be remade ..even had me ask the manager AND after the “okay” was given still didn’t wanna remake my drink. Huge attitude and made a whole scene. All this after I already paid and tipped. They need to be brought back to reality and some retraining on service and how to mix a simple tequila sunrise. To Boston bowl I go!
