Putnam Street Lanes
Reserve your lane before you arrive
The center asks guests to reserve lanes ahead of time. Phone the counter to book, and ask about weekend openings.
A candlepin house on Putnam Street
Candlepin is the game on Putnam Street in Fitchburg, where the center keeps ten lanes of it under one roof with a sports bar and a food menu. Number 14 sits in the city's 01420 postal area, and the web address is putnamstreetlanes.com.
The place has a community side too. It hosts a Candlepin for Cancer fundraiser, which brings bowlers in for a good cause. For ordinary visits the center asks people to reserve a lane before they arrive rather than just turning up, which makes sense in a ten-lane house where leagues and groups can fill the whole floor. Weekday opening is long, starting at 8 AM Monday to Thursday and running to 10 PM, but weekend times are not spelled out clearly enough to print here.
