DiDonato Family Fun Center

Step away from the ordinary and into a true South Jersey entertainment oasis. DiDonato Family Fun Center is a Hammonton staple, but for the discerning diner and craft cocktail enthusiast, it’s all about the The Alley Bar & Grille. Forget everything you think you know about bowling alley food; this is a destination where chef-driven cuisine and serious beverages roll strikes every time.

The Alley Bar & Grille elevates the social experience far beyond the lanes. It functions as a sleek, upscale lounge where you can grab a signature cocktail or enjoy a perfectly poured brew from one of their famous frozen beer taps. The atmosphere is modern and inviting, complete with an outdoor fireplace perfect for cozying up with a drink on a cool evening. The best part? They offer professional, game-side food and beverage service right to your plush seating area, meaning you never have to interrupt your game to refuel.

Chef-Driven Cuisine and Sweet Indulgences

The menu is a delightful surprise, focusing on “chef-quality cuisine” with rotating farm-to-table additions alongside elevated pub favorites. While you can certainly get a classic, well-executed pizza or sandwich, highlights include upscale offerings like Short Rib Mac and Cheese and a fresh Ahi Tuna Bowl.

Be sure to save room for a nightcap at The Pin Deck, where they serve homemade, hand-dipped ice cream and, for the grown-ups, incredible Boozy Milkshakes—the perfect capper to a fun night out.

History

The story of DiDonato’s is one of true South Jersey tradition. It began in 1952 as a modest 4-lane bowling alley, serving as a neighborhood gathering spot in Hammonton. In 2012, the family business underwent a massive reinvention, breaking ground with a vision to create a premier entertainment center. The renovation successfully blended their timeless, family-owned roots (now spanning four generations) with a thoroughly modern, first-class experience, solidifying DiDonato Family Fun Center as one of the region’s must-visit destinations.
