I've only been here a couple of times lately in March 2023. It appears a few of the arcade games do not work but they do have quite a few for the younger people. I don't know why they won't get fixed. The pool hall area is acceptable and clean, tables are decent.The bathroom needs some help like new paint and the ceiling tiles are pretty stained. It makes the owner look really cheap not giving the men's room a cosmetic face lift. I don't know about the ladies room.Now let me talk about the lanes. The lane I had was in desperate need of a new approach area at the foul line and back about 4 feet. Honestly, I just think they are shot and probably all like this. I could barely get a slide going and that was even when I had new shoes from the Pro shop that I was trying on. The slide area is worn out to the point where I practically fall forward into the alley. I actually pulled a muscle on the back of my thigh on my left leg. I always used to slide and was quite competitive back in the day. I don't believe I will be bowling here very much if at all. That said I will NOT be joining any summer league competitively in this house. Sorry but the approach is shot. The floors need re-working, no doubt about it. Many of them. probably all of them are shot. Bowling is way too expensive these days to be at a shoddy bowling house in my opinion, no thanks. Auto scoring worked ok I suppose but I'm old school, never liked it or agreed with the use of it. If they could just charge for a couple of frames of practice in the beginning of a game, then that would be better. It takes some of the fun away from the game, no doubt about it. I think it's awful. But most houses have it these days, I get that. I need other options for decent serious bowling. As I've seen here, I won't be doing that I'll pass.To the owner: ya really gotta break down and re-work/re-finish the lane approaches.

Food, drinks, bowling, arcade, what more can you ask for... oh, a high score.

Run down!?

First time in Boston, if any visitors coming in this is the place to be good food and good energy.
Craig Smith
Super satisfied with WestgateClean, tons of energy and great service. Mire than enough lanes with arcade and a solid bar!
Dennis Johnson
Needs renovation, Needs equipment upgrades

Service was slow and they were far from crowded. The construction that is going on inside is emitting horribly aggressive fumes… I honestly don’t know how the employees deal with it regularly. I developed a massive headache from the overwhelming fumes and paint scent. I received a glass of water from the bar. The waitress gave me a plastic cup to pour it into to take with me to the arcade. I then noticed after drinking half the water that it was literally tinted brown. I’ve been coming here many years and this experience may be the one to keep me away.

My heart sband and I went to shoot some pool, something we used to do a long time ago. We enjoyed the atmosphere, tables were good. Ours could have used resurfacing. The employees were friendly and helpful. We plan on going back again!!!!!

worst balls at a bowling alley ever and the crowd isn’t any better.

Went to cosmic bowling, which is supposed to be from 9:30-12:30 with a dj. Got there at 9:30, and there was no dj. We were playing a tournament, and at 12 they turned all the lights on and closed down bowling. That is my only complaint, everything else is amazing! But when you pay for 3 hours of bowling and only get 2.5 with no dj it is a little questionable!
the new rule is you can't have a backpack, bowling bags are fine, I walk a lot and frequent this place, I always have a backpack, I am no longer allowed

Friendly staff. Good food and drink selection. Foods not bad drinks are good. Nice place to have family fun or a ladies night out. They also have a small arcade. Lots of game options.

The worst place to be, the woman at customer service for the arcades is a racist without manners, and education. She has a temper problem she shouldn't be on customer service but instead in a place for anger management sessions. I would never recommend this place to no one.
Leah Simmons
I love this place! Awesome arcade games! The bowling is a little disorganized, but that doesn't really matter. The food is really good, too.It takes a long time to get customer service, like to even start bowling, and the workers aren't very helpful.

Wonderful place to be with friends and family to just hang out. I had not been to Massachusetts in 30+ years and this place was a great “welcome back” spot. Reminds me of a place where me and all my siblings used to hang out, Cloverleaf Bowling Lanes in Miami-Dade Florida; the only thing missing is the karaoke.
