Editorial Review for Milky Way Lounge and Lanes – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
The Milky Way manages to bring both sides of Centre Street--the young, white gentrifying population and the predominantly Latin long-term residents--together. J.P. hipsters make it their evening haunt--from Wednesday DJ nights to local live bands, the entertainment is as diverse as the neighborhood population. The dimly lit lanes are lined with blue Christmas lights taking you back to when it was cool to listen to Shawn Cassidy and drink Strawberry Quick.

User Reviews for Milky Way Lounge and Lanes

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

11/22/2006 Posted by mrs_a

We recently ate at Bella Luna with another couple from the North Shore and the food, service and value was SO worth it, parking wasn't the easiest, but neither is the North End or South Boston or Charlestown so why complain now? Don't have pizza, go for the entrees, they're superb! The food is FABULOUS and we will be returning quite often to share this hidden jewel with others. I had the braised ribs which fell off the bone and just melt in your mouth, they were more than accomodating when I wanted mashed potatoes instead of squash and my water glass was never empty! Give this place a try, we're SO very glad we did!!

Pros: excellent food, great value

Cons: parking - but what else is new?

2 Star Rating: Below Average

I've been a total a four times (Im a local).and each time Im amazed at how theyre able to get so much $$$ out of me for a night of pizza, beer and bowling. Honestly, what would cost $20.00 a head at most ay other place will cost you $60.00+ at the Milky Way. More that that, I never quite feel like the place is very clean, especially the downstairs where the lanes and arcade games are (the place is replete with graffiti and grime). Still, its hard not to have fun bowling, hence the repeat business.

Pros: Bowling, parking

Cons: The "ick" factor combined with the cost of a simple ol'pizza!
