Grab your friends and redefine what it means to have fun!
Lefty’s Alley & Eats is an award-winning restaurant that elevates dining,
events and entertainment with style like no other.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge has fallen down but granddaughter, who lives within a few miles of this bridge, was scheduled for many days to visit us in Delaware for Easter. This required granddaughter and her boyfriend to plan the way around. Living in Merryland pretty much requires locals to learn to traverse the Chesapeake Bay/Patapsco River/Inner Harbor. But their effort to get here did work and I wanted very much to entertain them over the Easter holidays, but holidays with questionable weather, daylight hours and now a bridge missing.
As a resident of Lewes I have been familiar with Lefty's as I have lived in Delaware now for over 21 years. But I thought....inside....bowling....a big arcade....food. THIS WAS JUST THE THING!
Worrying about my plan to go the Saturday before Easter and just how busy that might be, I went online and darn if I didn't discover the ability to reserve duckpin bowling aisles online! Lefty's also has ten pin bowling and they too can be reserved.
Understanding, as I learned, that you must pay for the lanes you reserve, upon reservation, including the cost of bowling shoes if needed. Should you have to cancel the reservation, within 48 hours, Lefty's will give tickets good for future date rather than a monetary refund. "Cause that's just the way we do it!" so they explain on the web site.
While I intend to summarize that Lefty's is indeed well-run and efficient, be aware it is not cheap. With the cost of reserving duck pin lanes for three hours, and shoes, it cost me about $130.00. The lanes were great, the bowling was fun. Reservists got generously sized benches and booths.
The arcade was fairly amazing and totally current. Much of the attempt to get free tickets involved claw machine type set-ups. One can easily put a set amount of play money on Lefty's arcade card, using their own credit cards.
Lefty's does serve food, again, not cheap. It cost me $82.00 for a meal that was very good, included one alcoholic drink, was eaten comfortably at a table to avoid the bowling hassle.
We did win enough arcade tickets to get a gift. Lefty's has nice arcade gifts but be aware it take upwards of 5000 tickets to be redeemed to get some battery-operated gadget.
At any rate, kids got home by going over the DELAWARE Memorial bridge of all things, we had a great time at Lefty's.
They were busy, but run well. I thought they were worth the money for entertaining holiday visitors.
