Patterson Bowling Center

I never heard of duckpin bowling until I came here. It was fascinating! Also, I got to help fix the pin setter, as they are original and tend to break often. Pretty unique experience.

Opened in 1927 Patterson is the oldest operating duckpin bowling alley in the nation! 12 Lanes (6 on each level), and BYOB (beer & wine only), on the second floor. A must-visit Balmore experience.

It's easy to enjoy bowling , but there are always mechanical problems here. $25pp for a two hour lane rental with shoes .

Went here for my 10,000th day. Old school and a bit run down but that's the charm of it. BOYB and food.

A little expensive , but a super fun local hangout . BYOB .

BEWARE of the unposted "sitting fee" if you're not bowling and just watching your friends!

Duck-pin bowling Baltimore style, BYOB . Read more

Grab a case of beer at the Loading Dock, have a pizza pie delivered from Tutti Gusti, and have a convo with Chooch.

Worst experience! Rented for 2 hours for a work party. 2 of the 6 lanes worked and the owner didn't believe we should receive a discount because we were still able use the space just not the lanes !

Old, just about everything is broken, rude staff . Still fun somehow....maybe it's the BYOB .

Awful equipment. Same as service
