Editorial Review for Lucky Strike Lanes – by Patrick Green
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.

My girlfriend and I often go to Lucky Strike in the afternoons when they aren't busy. We have a few drinks and bowl for hours. "Drunk Bowling!" It's one of our favorite things to do. The company I work for has also rented the place out for events and we had a blast!
Pros: atmosphere, drinks, bowling
Cons: the wait on busy nights

They now say they can only split a lanes bill 2 ways - so if you have a group of people, it's a huge headache... for you - but will gladly accept cash to pay down the bill if you want to leave early. But beware, they pocket that cash and don't remove it from your bill so your friends pay them again. Beware of the cocktail waitresses too. They'll bring you drinks you didn't order, including a round for them each time, and hope you don't notice. Of course, you could then just go to the bar to order drinks but they even have that rigged: even if you all have a separate tab, they put on an 18% gratuity just because you're in a party! They don't tell you, so of course you end up tipping twice. Watch your bills people and report suspicious activity to the City Attorney and the IRS. The managers are in on it, so pointing it out to them will only net you an argument.
