Lakeshore Lanes

 If you are looking to have a good time by yourself, with a friend, or a big group, good food, bowling, arcade, two different bars with a great selection of beer and cocktails with 12 video poker machines, then Lakeshore Lanes in south Albany is the place to go. 


“There is just so much to do here,” said a customer who brought her two kids to bowl and ended the day with a game of miniature golf, which is located to the left side of the parking lot and includes waterfalls, soothing sounds and 18 holes of putt putt. 


I was pleasantly surprised when I went after the pizza. I noticed a lot of people were eating and drinking a variety of different foods and drinks while bowling or inside one of the bars. I looked over and saw the woman that was working and getting everyone set up for their shoes and lane to bowl and she was multitasking three or four different things at the same time. I assumed that it takes a certain kind of person to pull it off and keep everyone happy. 


The pizza was good, but I only tried the pepperoni pizza and it got the job done. I also went after the Long Island iced tea and it was the best one I had ever tasted. I was not going to be driving so it was OK. 


I walked into the arcade where there were kids, but also adults were playing the games. They use the ticket way in the arcade. As you play you get tickets coming out of the machines. When you get enough tickets you go to the counter in the arcade and exchange them for candies, stuffed animals, and all kinds of goodies. 


Heading out the door I walked about 50 feet and there was the miniature golf course. What stuck out was the waterfalls and the relaxing atmosphere, even though kids and adults were screaming and making comments like “Get in the hole!” or an ooh or ahhh. 


Lakeshore Lanes is not just a bowling alley, it is a fun land by itself in its own space that has so many things to do no matter if you’re a kid, an adult, a couple, or a group. They have a big lot for parking and it can get real busy, especially when leagues are going on. 


My take on Lakeshore Lanes is that it is a great place to eat, and bowl, and many other things and they have good food. I advise trying it out and see if you enjoy it. Having so many things to do for almost anyone means there’s a good chance you will get some sort of entertainment by the time you leave, and most likely some good food.
