Quincy candlepin since 1937
The history here is long. Olindy's first opened in 1937 as an eight-lane house in Quincy Center, and the family that has run it since 1969 now keeps eight candlepin lanes at 170 Quincy Avenue.
Candlepin is only part of the picture. A pool table, darts and video games sit alongside the lanes, and the bar serves beer and wine with snacks. Seasonal leagues run through the year, and the center takes birthday parties. Open bowling is priced by the string for each person, with a cheaper rate for school-age children on weekday afternoons, and shoe rental is separate, so a family can work out costs quickly from the table below.
