We were there in 2016. It was a special time. This place was unbelievably fun. Bowling, video games. Full bar. Menu. Great atmosphere. In an old building and really well put together. A great night was had with solid people. Wish we had photos but the memories are there. Won’t forget it.

The best spot to relive your childhood. Great variety of arcade games. Air hockey to walking dead, you name it and they have it. Lot of Sega racing games too. Will surely drop by every time I visit Boston.

Fun fun fun, this place has so many exciting activities, the kid in you will come out excited at this place. They have a whole floor for arcade games, some of them are really fun and interesting. The upper floor has bowling alleys along with pool tables. The bar is good and has many beer options, finger food is decent as well. Lastly, music was also cool on a Saturday evening. Definitely a fun place to unwind on a weekend. Or a weekday, if that works for you!

Great Place, remind me of Dave & Busters. We had great time playing Air hockey. Our get together was memorable and had blast. Would highly recommend to have a blast when you visit Boston Red Sox Stadium..

Such a fun place!! From bowling to videos games and shooting poo and morel. What else could you ask. Well the food is pretty great too! I highly recommend hanging out here. Great for large groups

This is the hippest place to check out if youre in the area. This is like Dave and Busters but you need to be 21 or older. The burgers were good. The wings were not that great. It was a good price, $50 worth of play time kept my GF and I busy for like 2.5 hrs. while we waited for our turn bowling.The wait time for bowling on the 3rd floor is insane . 3 hrs for us but if you give them your number they will text you when you can play. We were able to play games while waiting. Would go again.Pro tip, if you are parking dont park on the street close to the buildings without reading the signs. There is residential parking after 6 pm until 8 am and every car on that street had a ticket.

We played in the arcade. The place was relatively empty and we went on Tuesday which was 50% off I think. We had a lot of fun. I would definitely go back again. The drinks a little over prices but the whole experience was great.

A fine place to hang out with buddies. You can play pool, do bowling and enjoy arcade games. A fun place to be. It has something for almost every age group

We had a good time. $15 unlimited play was amazing. Its real easy to bring home lots of loot. The food was good too. Bowling was $12.50 for 1st game then $8 a game after.

A great place for an evening full of fun. Lucky Strike by Jillian’s is located on Ipswich Street right behind Fenway Park. It’s very easy to locate. This is a huge place with multiple levels. One level has a huge gaming arcade filled with all the retro arcade games and the top level has a bowling alley with about 10 lanes and a bar counter. The place is very vibrant on Friday and Saturday night. Sunday’s are a bit off and they tend to close the bowling alley early if there aren’t many customers. We were a group of 14 people who went in on a Sunday close to 12-30 AM for bowling and were turned away as they decided to close off the alley for the day owing to no crowd. It’s a bummer when such a huge group has to leave without playing even when the stated closing time is around 2 AM. Hope the management takes this into consideration. Overall a very happening place for a nice casual evening with food, drinks and games.

So much fun! If you visit Boston or live there this place makes for a great night out!

Really great place to bowl, very spacious and well lit. A fun time for everyone. Massive arcade with tons of games to play of all different varieties. Food in both sections from cheesy nachos to a vegan burger! Bartenders offering a variety of drinks. Fun place for people of all ages .

Fun place and good prices . Huge too. A lot of people go, it’s a popular spot in Boston .

This place was awesome! A million things to do, amazing staff, and the food was good too!

With plenty of pool tables, bowling alleys, and some ping pong and arcade games set up in a nice space - its very fun place to hang out and kill some time! Went here on a Saturday evening and it wasnt very crowded. Pool tables and bowling are a very reasonable price. Wish they had a better craft beer selection though and offered a wider variety of appetizers to snack on while you play games.

This is a great place to come with friends but I would only suggest coming during the day. At night it takes about 1-3 hours to wait for a lane. Once you are at a lane (and if you only get one lane) you have to share a VERY small space with others. So if your party is over 5 people I would definitely suggest getting a second lane unless everyone is okay with standing in the lane or standing in back of the lane. Food wise: DO NOT get the nachos. They are literally repulsive. I asked the waitress to take them back because they were cold and soggy without any cheese. Then she brought out the second batch which was STILL COLD, extremely soggy, but at least they had more cheese. It’s nacho cheese spread though so not appetizing. WHAT I WOULD Recommend : buffalo chicken and Mac&cheese bites, and the cookies. Overall the nachos kind of set a bad taste in all of our mouths so will not ever order them again. But will come for games!

Great Place for any occasion. Huge arcade, a bar on both floors, Pool tables, last but not least bowling. There is a good time for all ages. After 8pm it is 21+

Went there with my older brother in my younger brother and we had a ball I hadnt bowled in a long time plus you can eat to we had a gorgeous salad

Fantastic family afternoon. Bowling was fun then the games downstairs, 100x better and cheaper games arcade than dave & busters.Staff members were super friendly and extremely courteous. Will be returning

Pick your floor: arcade, bowling alley, pool table, theres something for everyone. Plenty of bar space, with local beers on tap and a full bar backing it up. A great place to stop after work or before a Sox game. Stop by and give it a try.

Since renovation this place is gorgeous. Bartenders on the third floor are really nice and the overall status of their gaming equipment was top notch. I did not see 1 out of order sign anywhere and it was a great time. Will be coming here again.

Very cool. Food is good. Lots of pool tables.

This is an awesome, well-rounded place for entertainment. You have everything from arcade games, to bowling, to pool, and to events & a bar if you drink. Really great place ; makes a great date night

Awesome to have a 3rd floor bowling alley but the cost for games and shoe rentals were kind of pricey.

A great place for arcade games, billiards, and bowling in the hottest neighborhood of Boston. Jillians is a great spot for tourists, locals, or people with a little time before a Sox game.

Food, drinks and games to play. The best combination. They have bowling alley, pool tables, dart(which was closed for renovation though) and an arcade center in the floor below. Friendly and helpful staff. The also have live football games.

I came in to have a good time but wanted to eat some food first. No one came to my table. No one assisted me. Instead the staff played on their phones the whole time. I’m incredibly annoyed, train your staff better. I won’t be back here for awhile. Hopefully those useless workers will be gone by then.

The Arcade is so much fun!! The pool tables are usually booked but it opens up fast, bowling is always fun, the food and bar are fast paced and well managed. It’s a perfect place for groups, family, or dates ngl!!

3 stars for the entertainment factor and the good time we had but the service was piss poor. Bartenders ignore you and Im an adult I can tell when someone is pretending they dont see you hoping someone else comes over to help you. Im a bigger guy you cant miss me when we are 5 feet apart and Im flagging you down. At least say Ill be right with you or something.

Love bowling at Lucky Strike. I always have a blast coming here and they make some awesome cocktails low key.

A fun place with lots to do. There are two different levels, each has a big bar. The service has been pretty fast to get drinks, though the servers arent the friendliest, occasionally even being rude (at least at the upstairs bar). The volume of people swings kind of wildly hour-to-hour, even on a Friday/Saturday, from lively to almost dead and back.

Really nice 3 floor bowling ally and arcade underneath. Has some food and drinks too. Bar on both floors. It feels like a much better Dave and busters.

Awesome place. Lots of games on the 2nd floor, decent bowling lanes and pool tables on the 3rd. Havent really tried the food or drink yet, aim to soon.

This is a cool place to go early in the night as it gets really packed the later you go. They have three floors and Im usually on the arcade for bowling floors. The bowling is fun and newer so setup is easy. The arcade is fun as well. The big downside is that everything is way too expensive. A few hours here can easily run you $200 between you and a friend. They also expect you to tip to set up a bowling lane which I think is total BS.

The service really sucks, we have been coming here for over 10 years and been here twice since thanksgiving. The bar tenders are extremely rude. Served a watered down gin and tonic, paid $9 for basically a tonic with a drop of gin.This was such a great experience before, hope corrections are made and it goes back to its previous glory.

The drinks were good, there wasnt a lot of people, so we didnt have a wait, and the staff was really nice. The environment is fun and upbeat, and the decor was homey and fun.

Nice place. Right near Fenway Park. Friendly staff. Comfy seating. A little crowded around the lanes. Otherwise its quite open.

First visit here. First hour or so was absolutely mesmerized by the different games (most were kinda eh games, but I havent been in an arcade since I was like 8 max). Pool and bowling lounge area is pretty nice. I can only imagine repeat coming here to pool with friends.

Fun place to hang out on game day... Good food, nice staff, plenty of fun things to do...

The bartender was alone and it was alot of us so we had to wait for along time. Its definitely a good spot. I would go back

Fun place to relax and have enjoy with your friends. Arcade games from your childhood and more. Bar is good and so are the apps! Highly recommend for friend reunions

Good place to Hang out with friends and play Bowling..!!When I went the place wasnt clean enough.All in all great place to play till late nights in Boston.!

Great place for a group bowling outing. Pretty cosmic but not as loud as the other downtown competition; you can talk to each other without screaming.Keep in mind when you look at the bill that youre not only paying for lanes, shoes, and food, youre also paying for downtown Boston rent. If youre really just in it to hit the pins, look outside of downtown and you might be able to find a cheaper deal at a more traditional sort of bowling alley; but this is a pretty nice centrally located place for some grown up entertainment.

Great place to hang out with friends or your date and play cool games and enjoy time.

Bowling balls with deep scratches and dents. Atleast one lane wasnt straight out flat.The arcade has a huge selection and is great.

Ordered a well done burger. Received a medium rare and still had to pay for it. Thats about it for that place.

Big 2 floor place with bars, bowling and arcade games.A bit pricey, but still a great idea to hang out with friends!

Fun place to go and have a fun night out. Can get crowded on weekends and it a bit pricey, but worth it still.

Nice place to Bowling. There are some good food with reasonable price too.

Gets too busy sometime in the Waits too long to go bowling but its a cool place

I don’t know who’s taking good orders. Today it’s no one. Been waiting 30 minutes and so far I was told by my server that she’d be my server. She hasn’t returned yet.Update. It took less time to get food after ordered.Unrelated side note, there was Uriel sprayed all over the stalls. Sorry staff, I’m the one who put all that toilet paper down on the floor; so my toddler didn’t have to step in it to use the restroom.Fun toys. Fun video games. Cheap prizes. Not worth even trading in the tickets. But still a fun place.

This place is amazing! Great bowling lanes with comfy seating all around, plenty of lounge areas, pool tables, all on just to top floor! The second floor is stocked with tons of arcade games that I didn’t even have a chance to play through all the ones I wanted to in the one night I was there. Plus, the bar is fully loaded with a great beer selection and any number of boozes you could ever want.

This review only addresses the Arcade:General atmosphere: dark, neon lights, comfy. The place is very clean, the tables are cleaned regularly and the bathrooms doesnt smell even on weekends. Food is overpriced but you know youll just go for the drinks anyway.Arcade uses an eCard system, you fill it with money and use it later. Simple and easy to use.The arcade selection is fantastic, but most of them are still mainstream in terms of Arcade. There was this lack of selection in fighting games.But racing fans rejoice! Mariokart is here along with at least 5 more selections. With a group of friends no one will be left out because theres a lot of space for rides.Personally I love the shooting games. All of them are wonderful point wasters but an enjoyable ride each time. Note that in the Aliens shooting gallery, P2s pointer calibration is off sometimes and the pointers inaccuracy will throw you offWorthy to note that the point system broke down when I went there and I didnt get any tickets. But overall this is a pretty high quality arcade.

Little pricey but very fun, bowling and arcade. good food too

A good bowling alley with a bar and some nice food. Tried the Caribbean sliders which were nice.

A great place to grab food and a drink before or after a game at Fenway park. Especially after because no one walks this far down the road. Trust me.

Great place to visit if you’re in the Fenway area or even Boston in general! They have both bowling and games. The games room is comparable with a Dave & Buster’s size, perhaps a tad smaller- but that does mean less of a selection to an extent. They have many more gimmicky and genetic games like the football fires one, piano keys, and fruit ninja (except Kung-Fu Panda version I believe). At the same time they also have classics like Mario Kart, Ski-Ball, Hoops, and more. All in all pretty good selection for games. They have tickets and prizes which, like most other places, you need to hit the jackpot to get any of the valuable prizes- so no difference from most prize kiosks there.Oh and they have bowling. Haven’t tried it, but definitely worth mentioning!Definitely looking forward to going back when I return home to Mass!

Awesome spot for fun! Has it all. P.S. there are additional pool tables & darts & shuffleboard behind the bowling lanes!

I always have a great time out here! Great for parties and group events.

Games, games and more games! And booze! Came here to play some pinball and the machines are well kept and reasonably priced (the machines are Metallica, Wrestlemania, Aerosmith, Monopoly, AC/DC, and Star Wars). They have all sorts of other cool games, like a Star Wars racing pods that’s got a planetarium-type screen (but these are much more expensive to play). All in all, cool spot - if not a bit cheesy.

A huge, 3 story bowling alley + arcade that is filled to the brim with tons of exciting stuff to do. Theres a huge bar on each floor, so you dont need to run far to get drinks. Tons of comfy furniture to lounge on, and a great view of Boston from the windows!A great central location with other stuff to do, but you wont need to leave as this place has got it all.Attentive staff during off hours, but when it gets busy expect to wait a bit. Fair pricing for downtown Boston, and special drinks for when youre feeling experimental!

Fun place, went bowling, hit a strike or two, didnt suck.

I am not much of a bar person and mainly played games with my friends. They dont have many good arcade games and the fun ones go though your card balance quickly. I would rather go to a classic arcade.

Love the variety of games. Drinks are weak and overpriced. Bartenders are not good at keeping tabs and most are not very pleasant; very serious.

Its like Dave & Busters and Kings were mashed into one business with an upscale Hollywood feeling. Great environment and in a prime location!

Havent been in years and had sooo much fun!! Drinks were a bit weak but a nice establishment

Bowling alley probably one of the best aesthetically Ive ever been to. Fenway park is viewable while bowling and the atmosphere is good. The only drawback is the price. 112 for 5 bowlers for 2 games.

Two floors of fun. Second floor is a bar and arcade games. A lot of games to choose from. Third floor is pool and bowling with a food and a bar. Its great fun. And its a good place to hang out with family or even just friends

It feels classy. Yet its not too expensive. There is an arcade gaming place on the 2nd floor. The couches next to the bowling alley are comfortable

Had Fun with Arcade Games but very disappointed with bowling. There were almost no good balls to bowl. Waste of money I felt.

Awesome place to chill with friends where u can play bowling, pool and many games also theres bar where u can drink and enjoy. We paid total 12$ for bowling and shoes also, we went Fridays evening and it was not that crowded.

Games are cool but the bar and service pretty much stink. Must be some burnout from the Sox crowd. I once waited 45 minutes to an hour for a dessert. Nachos are good though, had a pretty good portion.

Amazing service and well maintained. Fun experience and will be going back soon.

Had a lot of fun here. Went for a company outing, and Im definitely going back for a night out with friends. Bowling will never get old. Great place for kids and adults. Highly recommended it.

Went for a work event. Game selection is good. AC seemed taxed even for a fairly cool day.Its the kind of place youll like if you like this sort of place.

Lucky Strike was always a great place to gather with a group of friends or a work party. With the recent overhaul of floor 2s arcade center, its even better. You can easily kill an afternoon or low-key night if drinks and games. Saw plenty of kids too, so family friendly. Nice mix or arcade games like racers and shooters and tickets granting machines if thats more your speed.

Great place to just have fun- bartenders are great but the food staff is slow...Its best to order at the bars

Avoid the pizza. Also, saw the bartender put a lemon in a glass of water and serve me long island iced tea and when I still politely told him that I cant even taste the alcohol, he refused to admit it and kept telling me I was wrong.

Fun atmosphere but don’t bother ordering food. We wanted an hour + for nachos that never came.

It has three levels - a bar, an arcade section, a bowling section. All three are amazing. Its crowded but just the right amount and the music is always great. Chill vibes and you can keep switching between the floors. Theyre polite staffed and are more fun during sports events/game days!

Lucky strike staff refused to turn on their AC on the hottest day of the summer (96 degrees Fahrenheit). I was sweating so much I could barely see and I couldnt leave out of solidarity as it was my friends birthday. Worst bowling experience ever.

Is nice bolín game b the woman tike gift store wy glasé chocolat

Went furring the day. Only one person was scheduled for both bar and bowling alley when the place was also having a function.Friends and I left with out bowling or doing anything else here.

So much fun. Bowling. Pool, video games. We had the best time.

I really love this place and will keep coming back. It’s a cheap venue where you can get drinks and play fun games like skii ball and zombie shooting. The mac and cheese bites are also amazing.My only criticism is that when you call the phone number you get a directory and management or the desk it was transferred to didn’t pick up. I lost my debit card and was trying to see if they had it. I called for the first two days and then ended up submitting an inquiry on their site. They got back to me days later from the website inquiry saying they had it but by that time I already ordered a new one. Yes, it’s my fault for losing the card but this happens all the time so people should be able to quickly chat with someone to see if it’s there without having to go back to the establishment.

Nice place to kill time has pool tables and bowling lanes a nice bar set up

Awesome, huge location with plenty to do! Not just bowling, but billiards, bars, food, and a massive arcade. Beautiful interior that was recently renovated with a cool retro factory-chic feel. Even the bowling shoes seemed updated and not raunchy! Good drink and food service to boot. Parking is a pain (its near Fenway), so take public transit or get a ride if possible.

Amazing place. Lots of fun with tons to do and a great atmosphere.

Nice place. Long wait for bowling - and that was on a Wednesday night.

Arcade closed till 5pm on a day game. Dont think this is the place to kill time before a game. Went upstairs for couple drinks... Waited 30 minutes and watch 3 different waiters chatting about there lives never once bothering to take an order. ... Had to go to bar. There has to be someplace better around Fenway park

Great vibe! Good staff and nice games and bowling space

Great place for events - something for everyone.

A bit too dark (black light) and expensive ($55 for 3 people, 2 games and shoes), for daytime bowling, but no waiting. So go if you need a bowling fix, and have not planned ahead.

Food wasn’t bad. Prices were decent to go during the day but at night I could imagine this place being overly packed. Still a pretty good atmosphere

I had a birthday event here last night. There were 15 of us and the whole process was incredibly easy. Laura was very helpful in getting the reservation (especially on short notice) and made sure I selected the package that would be best for the event. Bowling was great, the food came out and was enjoyed by everyone. Our server Angie provided great service with us for the whole time we were there. She was so friendly and made it a special experience for all of us. Id highly recommend this location for anyone considering a small birthday! (Dont forget to request Angie as the server!)

Tons of games to play. You’ll definitely have fun if you go there

Fun after a Fenway ballpark experience.

Total fun with a beer all we needed

Holy Moly, this place is freaking lit. Pregame at another bar because the drinks are expensive but its the most fun you can have in town.
