Welcome to Archie's Strike & Spare, a landmark candlepin bowling alley, bar, and restaurant located in the heart of Parsonsfield, Maine — now re-imagined as a vibrant four-season entertainment venue. Now offered at $434,900, this iconic property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully improved four-season entertainment venue at a fraction of its $650,000+ replacement value. Recent upgrades include an expansive 80′ × 120′ beer garden with live-music stage, outdoor bar, grill/smoker area, and rustic seating, plus a newly extended liquor license covering the full outdoor area. Inside, the building retains its classic candlepin lanes, bar, and kitchen—enhanced with modern four-season systems and ready for year-round operation.

This turn-key commercial property offers 8,120 sq ft of finished space on 0.86 acres, with significant recent improvements that expand both capacity and appeal. The current owners have transformed the former seasonal operation into a year-round business destination, adding a stunning 80′ × 120′ outdoor beer garden complete with a live-music stage, rustic picnic seating, cornhole lanes, outdoor bar, grill/smoker area, and decorative lighting. The expansion also includes an extended liquor license area — from the original 25′ × 55′ indoor service zone to the full outdoor garden — creating new event, catering, and revenue opportunities.
Inside, the classic candlepin lanes, bar, and kitchen remain fully equipped, complemented by recent four-season upgrades to heating, insulation, and utility systems.
