This is one of the few ten-pin lanes in the Portland, ME area. Most bowling alleys in Maine are candlepin. The lanes are well maintained and comfortable, the food and service are excellent. Come here for dinner and stay to bowl. More

I've heard great things about BB & finally got a chance to go - wow! I'm not a bowler, no one in my group was, but it was super fun, CLEAN, surprisingly good food (no processed cheese smothered over stale nachos here) fresh veggies, hummus, wings, good bar food, great service, fun music, clean bathrooms. Great spot for a party,... More
