About The Ark Bowl & BBQ

The Ark Bowl & BBQ is a well-maintained venue run by a friendly staff. While the kitchen wasn't serving on one visit, the positive atmosphere and great reviews still made it a worthwhile stop. The pulled pork sandwich is a standout item, described as juicy, tender, and flavorful, with a delicious Carolina tangy sauce. The corn was also praised for being juicy and delicious. The venue offers live music, bowling, and a good selection of drinks including dry and interesting cider. The lanes are well-maintained, and the place has a vintage vibe that takes visitors back to the mid to late 20th century. Guests often enjoy keeping score with pen and paper, adding to the nostalgic experience. The bowling balls are plentiful, and the ball return system feels like it’s from a sci-fi show. The staff, including bartenders and waitresses, run the saloon-like atmosphere smoothly, keeping drinks topped up with cheap draft beers and serving large fried chicken sandwiches. Visitors have described the place as fun, chill, and perfect for a relaxed night out. It’s highly recommended for anyone passing through the west Catskills, especially those looking for a mix of good food, live music, and vintage bowling fun.
