The Alley Bowling & BBQ

The Alley Bowling & BBQ in Orleans, Massachusetts, delivers an unbeatable combination of candle pin bowling and authentic Cape Cod barbecue that keeps locals and visitors coming back year after year. Located on historic Route 6A in the heart of Orleans, this family-owned entertainment destination features 12 pristine candle pin bowling lanes alongside a award-worthy smokehouse kitchen. Owner David Currier, an Orleans native whose family has owned the building since the 1970s, transformed the former Orleans Bowling Center into a vibrant dining and entertainment venue that captures the casual, welcoming spirit of Cape Cod. The menu showcases house-smoked meats including fall-off-the-bone ribs, tender brisket, and perfectly seasoned chicken, all smoked low and slow in a brand new 200-pound capacity wood smoker. Pair your meal with one of 16 beers on tap featuring New England brews, handcrafted cocktails from the full bar, or a glass from their carefully curated wine selection. The venue offers multiple dining options: eat right at your lane, grab a seat at the 14-seat bar, settle into high-top tables, reserve the separate dining room, or enjoy the seasonal enclosed garden patio with its cozy outdoor fireplace. With 55-inch flat-screen TVs, classic arcade games, air hockey, and a kids menu with gluten-free options, The Alley caters to everyone from bowling enthusiasts to family dinner crowds. Private party bookings are available for birthdays, corporate events, and special celebrations.
