What People Are Saying About Lucky Strike

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – The impeccably shiny and neon-lit interior combines the past with the present. Modern touches like floor-to-ceiling video screens at the end of the 12 lanes mesh well with nostalgic niceties, including the long wooden bar top, which was actually Lane 16 at the Star Lanes. Art, movie clips and music videos flash on-screen as DJs deliver danceable grooves. A fairly priced Americana menu (think crunchy coconut shrimp and chicken skewers) is available in the upper dining area. – –

Editor's Tips

Parking:
Park inside the complex for $2 for up to four hours with validation, or at either of the flat-rate $3 Prestige lots on the east side of Highland.
The Extras:
Bowling rates range from $4.95 to $7.95. Shoe rentals are $3.95.
Know Before You Go:
Lucky Strike is 21 and over after 7pm. If you decide to go, follow the dress code which restricts athletic attire.
Look Good:
Plan a private bowling party in the VIP lounge, with four private lanes and its own bar. Prices range from $300 to $700 per hour.

  1. We received perfect customer service, went straight to our lane, and had alot of fun being goofy and laughing at our poor scores.
  2. It was a great experience, great ambience, and very friendly staff.
  3. The atmosphere seemed cool I have been to other Lucky Strikes and this one seemed to be filled with the out of town want to be crowd, a little to much for my taste.
  4. It's a good combination for the atmosphere and entertainment.
  5. it was pretty decent that the staff was so cool, made us guys feel comfortable.
  6. The price adds up, rounds are per person, not per lane and the bar comes with a hefty pricetag, but nevertheless a fun time and a nice middle ground for those who want to add a game to their usual drinking/clubbing saturday nights.
  7. Food, drinks and atmosphere make this a really good place to hang out.
  8. had no idea that bowling was this much fun, I haven't bowled in years.
  9. Very good crowd, the bar is great and of course, bowling is always fun.
  10. The bartender girls were pretty snotty and we got lousy service and the drinks were a little spendy, but other than that it was fun.
  11. The atmosphere is great-- fun people watching and the bar has fabulous drink specials!
  12. This is a huge bar and bowling alley located in the Hollywood and Highland complex, and frankly, it's interesting enough to be fun.

GOOD FUN

by PreppyMan

its a good time, great service, I had the food which was just average, but service was out of this world. The server suggested the steak sandwich, it was really good but the chips was average, drinks were stiff, and all this even before the bowling. Parking was only 2 bucks which you couldn't beat. Overall really good time.

Great time

by Danial Knows Best

I love when I can go out with friends and really have fun with them. If we go to a restaurant or bar the conversation is the same one we have had over and over before. If we go to Lucky Strike we are actually having so much fun bowling and laughing at our terrible skills that our old conversations get to take a rest for the night.

The waitresses are really hot. The bartenders are cool. The food is average but who really cares. Can't forget Mr. Pinn, well he is a hard act to follow (now you have to go to see what I mean).

This place isn't just a bowling alley. Feels like a night at a club with the live dj. Great idea.

Went here with some friends I was visiting, and we had a great time. I love the idea of the lounge, bar, bowling alley hybrid. The drinks were really good, at a totally reasonable price. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!
