Lucky Strike

A very fancy bar with different areas that makes them look like a totally different place, the main area has 2 pool tables a bar and infront of it several bowling lanes, it a has a very nice and fancy atmosphere, the other room it’s divided in three areas, bathrooms, an arcade with lots of games and another bar with tables, dance floor and a stage where normally they have djs or bands (really cool area), prices are good and food is not that bad, i had garlic shrimp (only three shrimp and some vegetables) it was ok, then we asked for fries and they brought us some kind of flat bread with bacon and spinach, obviously it wasn’t what we asked for but it was better than the shrimp, other than that i really liked the place, definitely i’m coming back.

Absolute worst service ever. It’s neither a fun place to bowl or to drink, so what’s the appeal? The food? No. Disgusting. Don’t even bother. It’s cramped and kind of smells.

A lot of fun in a nice atmosphere. Bowled a few games with the family and enjoyed some beer and appetizers. The grilled buffalo wings were great! If you are looking for a place to hang out when it’s raining, this is a very good option.

So I have heard about this place a lot, friends rave about it and say how fun it is. So when I was able to check it out I was excited. Maybe it was because we went during the day or something but I really don’t see what all the hype is about. There were a lot of people there so it wasn’t dead, I was a little put off by the fact that all the bars were closed down so the only way to get a drink was to be in a bowling lane.
I just wasn’t as amazed as I thought I would be. Maybe when I’m in town again I’ll check it out at night, hopefully its more exciting.

Love this place, the drinks, the bowling lanes, the couches, the gaming areas, the pool tables, the place is done well. The prices are great and the atmosphere is fun for both kids and adults.
I have spent a few great date nights with the husband here. Its also close to some great other restaurants and bars in downtown phoenix. The two story approach is fun as well.

Unlike Biggy Smalls, this place went from classy to ashy. Used to be decent, classy, fun; however, menu keeps changing, and the other night the management was awful and the lanes broke down. Manager told a friend, «go back to LA with those earings» after requesting compensation for broken lanes. I think he was trying to be funny, but swingggggg and miss. The food is pricy and worst of all the beer was warm, real warm. This was a great combination for some magnesium citrate and the toilet — both real and metaphorically.

My biggest complaint is that the service was sub-​par at best. I could never find our waitress when we needed a drink and our tables got really messy really fast and I had to clean it up myself. Drink orders seems to take forever, especially towards the end of our time there. One of us ordered dessert that never came.
Food was decent… we had a party package so we had wings, pretzels sticks and sliders. Wings were good but I wasn’t a fan of the sauces for any of the dishes. Burgers were over cooked and the cheese was cold and congealed.
Lastly, one of our parties lanes kept breaking and freezing. And then we ran out of time and couldn’t finish our last game. I don’t think that was necessarily fair, as much of the delay was their fault.
Atmosphere is fun though, I’ll give them that. I had a good time and I would go again and give it another chance.

Great way to spend your workday lunch hour with good people. Reccomend the veggie wrap.

I came here as part of a large social event with friends. Compared to another Lucky Strike I’ve been to in Seattle, this location was very spacious and open. I didn’t get to go bowling but the floor and lanes looked very clean. The bartenders working that Friday night near the back of pool tables was very attentive. Her service was flawless. Getting a drink had never been so easy. The only criticism I had was that the dance floor seemed small but then again that’s not a primary focus of a bowling alley.

Serving was great. Manager was amazing and on top of our whole experience.

Staff was very friendly awesome place to bowl and just relax with a VIP table. Great for parties and birthdays… Easy to get to parking was ample. I will definitely go again.

Let me start by saying this review really isn’t fair. I got to come here for an elite event and from that event I got a coupon for free bowling… I did buy drinks though! Anyway, Lucky Strike is a chain of bowling alley/​bars. This one, like others I have been to, is clean and has a ‘fun’ atmosphere. We came in the afternoon and got to bowl for an hour, which was great! We had some chips and salsa, which was tasty, and mac and cheese bites, which were not as good as they sound, but alright. You’re not here to eat, right? They have a decent happy hour with discounted food and drinks. We had a couple beers which were fairly priced under 5 $. I would definitely come back!

The place was so cool, it’s too bad service was very slow. I mean very slow! I was so dry I kept having to go to the bar for ‘help yourself water’ and had a few waters while waiting for my drink.

Nice bowling place downtown. Four or five lanes, and they do have a bar and food but I have not had any. They used to have a fairly large arcade area but it is actually now only about half the size. Bowling games and shoes are both $ 4 each. But they do have lunch and bowl deals where you buy a lunch and get shoes and bowling free…

After attending an elite event a few months ago, we were given «Lucky Strike Experience» tickets. I decided to use my two tickets last night. On the phone, Kristie was sweet when taking my reservations.
When our party of four arrived, we get full VIP treatment. Luckily, the place wasn’t crowded so that was nice. The manager (I want to say her name is Nicole) was funny and friendly. She made sure that we were taken care of. Because we were using two tickets, we got 2 hours of bowling for four, free shoe rental for four, and four appetizers!
We ordered the Short Rib Nachos, the Artichoke and Spinach dip, the chicken bites (chili sesame), and mac and cheese bites! Holy Moly — it was so much food for four people. However, we went at it with the food like we haven’t eaten for days! My favorite — the chicken bites hands down!
The whole party had so much fun! Thank you, Lucky Strike for giving me and my party the ultimate «LUCKY STRIKE EXPERIENCE»!

I was able to attend a Unilocal event at this place and from the start of walking in I thought wow. This place has the right setup! No complaints from the staff while I was at the Unilocal event. I called Friday afternoon to reserve a lane for Saturday night and the woman I spoke to was very helpful. Showed up 10 minutes early and we had to wait almost 30 minutes for our lane to free up. Not a big deal, we spent some time at the arcade and the bar. The bowling is always fun and the music was on point. This is a great place for a date or with a group of friends. I recommend you call a week early to reserve your lane. Weekends can get pretty busy, but you’ll have a great time while you’re there.

Service was very slow. I had to ask several times and the staff was just standing around.
All in all fun place for the kids

I’ve bowled here twice and have really enjoyed the experience. Lucky Strike has definitely take an old kind of grungy tradition and given it new life. As many have mentioned, the environment is very much a lounge feel. It’s fun and feels much cooler than any other lanes I’ve visited. I’ve seen others mention the on screen sports and I would definitely add my vote to playing music videos, or something akin to that, instead. It’s not a sports bar, right?
They do have a great selection of happy hour snacks and sips. I don’t generally try to go out exclusively in the evening, so if you don’t mind going out earlier for happy hour, it’s definitely worth it. Lots of tasty snacks and cheap drinks. The fried macaroni bites were quite good, as is the flat bread pizza.
Now, when we went, as it was early, I guess there were kids around, and they wouldn’t post our «creative» bowling names (Sticky Rice Ballz, Fire Crotch, etc.). So, for better or worse, it’s a family conscious environment. Service on the whole was pretty good, though it seemed our waitress was sometimes absentee, and they weren’t very busy. Overall, I’d go back with friends.

We went to an event here and were lucky to be in the VIP area for the evening. It was lots of fun, good food and bowling here! The margaritas were fabulous and reasonably priced (as to be expected downtown). Servers and bartenders were friendly and helpful.
Awesome ambiance here, great place for parties, events, big groups, etc! Close to some other great spots downtown for a fun night out too — swing by Copper Blues next door or catch the late Stand Up Live comedy show — makes for a fun night in downtown PHX!

Super swanky and lots of fun with great happy hour and just ok service, but spendy.
The place is absolutely beautiful! It’s the loveliest bowling alley I’ve ever seen — basically a plush lounge with lanes. I’ve been here many times with different people and it’s always fun. Our most recent visit was on a weekday afternoon, and the prices are much lower (I can’t remember exactly how much, and the website doesn’t seem to have this info). After several rounds of bowling, we paid $ 9/​hour for the pool table, which isn’t bad if you play fast — and it is pro-​rated so you only py for the time you use.
This also seems to be a popular venue for large groups and special occasions. We’ve even been to a birthday party where we just got drinks at the bar and didn’t bowl.
So why not 5 stars? It’s pretty expensive for what is ultimately still bowling, and the service isn’t great (they seem to attract a high percentage of «I’m doing you a huge favor by dealing with you at all» staff).
My advice? Go on a weekday and catch Happy Hour — on weekends, the prices are more than it’s worth, in my opinion.
