TELL US: What Do You Think of the Incoming Kings Bowling?

As reported on Burlington Patch, King's Bowl is in the process of building a bowling alley at 52 Second Avenue as part of the NorthWest Park Project. The bowling alley will be across the street from the much-anticipated Wegman's supermarket.

Kings will feature a 296-seat restaurant in a 27,000 square foot building and will have 24 bowling alleys. The total occupancy is over 600 people.

The bowling alley will have a full menu and a full bar and will open until 1 a.m. on the weekends.

The project is moving forward with support of the Board of Selectmen, which just this week approved a liquor license for the establishment, and seems to be a popular project among many in town. The bowling alley will offer t, be a place for families and for parties.

However, there are some concerns. As reader Tom Killilea said in a comment on the liquor license story, the project has similarities to the Dave & Busters project that was killed by the Planning Board.

"I have been to Kings Bowling in Dedham. I would say that it is a bar first, food establishment second and a bowling alley third. I thought the town was trying to discourage "bars" from coming to Burlington based upon past comments from the Planning Board & Board of Selectmen regarding other liquor based businesses trying to get a permit. Heck, they crucified Dave & Busters for attempting to build at the old Burlington Dodge site for that very reason & that business is more about video type games similar to Jillian's in Fenway Park than about drinking. Also, Dave & Busters is definitely more family oriented than King's. Interesting?"
