The Late Night Bowler

Bowl-O-Rama, located at 2143 Berlin Turnpike in Newington, Connecticut, may look like any other bowling alley from the outside of the building to the inside. Long lanes, ten pins at the end of the lanes, vending machines – this place has it all. There’s just one twist when it comes to Bowl-O-Rama – it’s open 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Who in their right minds would want to go bowling at 2 a.m. you might ask? Well, I’m one of them. There’s been many frequented nights that I’ve gone to Bowl-O-Rama later in the evening – be it 11 p.m., midnight, even 1 a.m., I’ve been there. It’s still as fun as would it be normally would be during the day, but depending on the evening, it could be busier than usual.

The couple of Friday and Saturday nights that I’ve been to Bowl-O-Rama has been quite busy, with either college students like me or just people who are out for the weekend to have a good time. There’s nothing different from the day time crowd to the night time crowd at this bowling alley except for the slight alcohol consumption during the evenings to early mornings. Hell, even some kids that are in their single digit years are there sometimes late at night. It's something that you just have to see.

The bowling alley itself is fairly nice – they have an assortment of vending machines to be ready for any kind of mood – ice cream, candy, soda, whatever. They also have a small food gathering inside the bowling alley as well, which allows for people to get chicken and other cooked snacks.

Overall, Bowl-O-Rama is a great place to go on a Friday or Saturday night to freshen things up a bit, because let’s admit it: who doesn’t love bowling?
