Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: April 29 | Eater NY

"I may not be good at bowling, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love it, and on a recent rainy weekend friends and I stopped by the Ark Bowl in Arkville, New York, which specializes in barbecue; feeling wary of sticky hands and bowling balls, we went for the more compact Nashville fried chicken sandwich ($15) instead, which was a solid snack when paired with a frosty beer." - Eater Staff

The food, the cocktails, and the bowling are all individually good enough reasons to recommend this place with my full chest. All three together make Ark a true gem worth coming back to again and again. The chef and the bartender are genuinely masters of their crafts. Extremely reasonable prices, incredible food, killer drinks, and classic retro bowling.

Take your score by paper as they used to do; slow down and pace yourself; the balls are aplenty. The food has a polish that only a chef with taste understands. Enjoy your time upstate at the hometown hero.

The prices were very reasonable. There is both indoor and outdoor seating (weather permitting.) The wings were great and good sized. The tables were made out of old bowling lanes. This place has a lot of character and history. Check it out

Best place to bowl. Full on retro vibe went on a 4th July.

This place is plucked out of time. If you like old school authenticity and a really vintage aesthetic, Look no further

I loved this place. The ambience is like a good dive bar. The food is excellent. The chef makes his own hot sauce. Which adds a great little kick

Great spot, really well kept and run by a friendly bunch of chaps! We didn’t eat due to the kitchen not serving that night which was disappointing as we’d seen so many good reviews but still didn’t detract from the venue! If we’re ever back in town we’ll stop by again!

We had a fun night here. We came for food, but the vibe is fun with a vintage bowling alley on one side and live music on the other. Great place for a chill but fun night.
