4.0 of 5 stars. We decided to do something different this year and spent New Years Eve here! A few of us got there early and snagged one of the giant booths in the back... very loungey... seated probably 8 people?…

Yelp.com Review - by Scott C.

2.0 of 5 stars. This place is ok. It's connected to a movie theater but it's hard to get some bowling in before a movie because it's packed and it's also hard to judge if you have enough time to get some food…

3.0 of 5 stars. It's a nice place to relax with friends on a Thursday night - not so crowded w/long lines for drinks, pool, or bowling. Feels like a huge lounge/clubhouse. I personally enjoyed the French Bubbles :)

5.0 of 5 stars. Bowling alley in a movie theatre. Genius I tell you. How can you resist a few rounds of bowling before going into a movie? Plus- it's a great bargaining tactic with my girlfriend- I'll take her to…

4.0 of 5 stars. Had a great time here, looking forward to going back. The speedometer on the bowling lanes is pure genius. You see, once you've had a few beers it stops being about how many pins you can knock down.…

4.0 of 5 stars. I recently bowled at Lucky Strike with some friends before we went to the movie we wanted to see at the AMC. It makes a nice addition to the movie theatre and it's a great place to go before you…

3.0 of 5 stars. I thought this place was decent, but our lane kept jamming up. Needless to say it really cut into our time, but we were credited and did get to use another lane. Who is responsible for the…

Yelp.com Review - by Tracy M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Tons of bowling alleys (although still hard to get one since it's such a popular place), pool tables, bars, huge flat screen TVs, and a movie theater right outside. Great place to have some fun!

What's customer service?

There was over a 2 hour wait for lanes on a Thursday night; there was no wait staff on the billiards floor to take orders for our drinks; and there was a 10 minute wait at the bar to get drinks with 2...

5.0 of 5 stars. I envy my friend who can throw the ball down the lane at 25mph! and hitting strikes everytime. WOW. I tend to make up excuses when my ball goes in the gutter. Like "it was my hand that time" or "I…

4.0 of 5 stars. I accidently ended up here a few weeks ago after the movie I was going to see sold out. We had a great night...tons of bowling alleys, pool tables, and huge TVs. It ended up being much more fun than…

4.0 of 5 stars. This bowling alley/bar is a great addition to the AMC movie theatre it resides in. You can head there early and buy your movie tickets, then bowl a few games before your show. The food is good and…

Decent Fun, Good atmosphere

The food and drinks are good (great onion rings!). The bar area is comfortable and spacious. Any reservations for bowling lanes have to be made at least 24 hours in advance. No reservations taken for pool...

Great Location - Awful Service

One of the worst customer service encounters you will experience in the city. The rude and slow greeting at the host/hostress stand is most definitely an indicator of the experience ahead of you. I had to wait...

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is several places in one. In the restaurant - the food is nothing special, and the wait staff seemed over worked or just cranky. The fireplace bar is relaxing, and is a great place to…

3.0 of 5 stars. It can be ironic to go to a bowling alley and not even go bowling, but that's what happens when you come here with a big group. This is the first place where I had to ride up an escalator to visit a…

1.0 of 5 stars. Expensive bar food glorified only by the menu descriptions, and equally expensive drinks. Service was HORRIBLE. On a busy Saturday evening (about 7PM), there were only 2 bartenders and no sense of…

4.0 of 5 stars. Lucky Strike is like a giant club house. The bar area has a wall of giant projection and plasma tvs for ultimate sports viewing. There are quite a few play-by-the-hour pool tables. There's a very…
