On a busy Sat. night the womens bathroom was filthy. I honestly dont think it gets detailed in anyway. The stains on the mirrors and hand dryers seemed permanent. Its just gross. For a Business in a prime location they take NO pride in providing a clean restroom for their patrons. And they have the nerve to charge $14 for a Jack&Coke, $16 for a long island ice tea.The DJ was good and the bartender was nice. I cant imagine what that place looks like with light on.

Tonight was Presidio Bowls final night. Their last events proceeds went to City of Dreams, a mentorship program serving youth living in Los Angeles,CA public housing communities.DJ, free bowling, food, booze and good friends, awesome! Bowl a strike and a sponsor donated 10 bucks to the kids:)

Presidio Bowling Center is a great place to go to if:- you want a place to have fun in the Presidio- you are on the way to Presidio National Park and Presidio Golf Course- you are coming from the Richmond or Marina Districts heading toward the Golden Gate Bridge

A go-to Korean/Chinese place in my area. All of the food is pretty good and you cant go wrong with anything. Its not the best Chinese Ive ever had, but its very reliable as all the dishes we get are tasty and/or filling. I should also mention that the servers are very friendly and give us refills whenever we ask.

Went here for a private event, it is an interesting bowling experience and atmosphere. I wouldnt recommend catering a private event here. During the event they didnt bother to have enough food servers on staff and asking any other staff didnt get me anywhere. I have specific food alllergies that left me with one option of all the dishes they provide and after spending over half an hour to get the first and only round of food I was only able to eat the tortilla chips and dip. I even asked for a second serving, and after waiting for 45 minutes and asking 3 different employees for some more of what I could eat I left.

First impressions based on the price and the comfortable upscale aesthetic suggest this place holds itself to a pretty high standard compared to the average neighborhood bowling alley. The drink menu featuring craft cocktails confirms this, but the food does not. I appreciated the range of options but was expecting the quality to be higher. Mac n cheese bites are like a mouthful of Velveeta and Ive had nicer margherita pizza from the Frozen section at trader Joes.Bowling was super fun though! The lanes are really tight so I think its a better experience if you have enough people for two lanes, though it was slow enough when I went with my group of six that we could still spread out a bit

We bought two games, unfortunately we couldn’t start for 15 minutes because after throwing one ball the computer locked up. Then we couldn’t start the second game because they thought we paid for one game, after showing them how much we paid we could finally start the second. Good luck actually playing. The ball wouldn’t return, having us stuck for ten minutes waiting for help. Then the lane shut down halfway through the second game. I’ve been in line for 15 minutes waiting to get it resolved. One star is a bit high for the not quite ready for business alley.

Hip place for bowling...Pros : Good Music, drinks and sports on big TVs.CONS : Our Party dropped over $500 for bowling, food and drinks. BUT WE COULDNT TAKE OUR LEFT OVER FOOD TO GO, WHICH WAS A LOT OF FOOD. So two problems with that! One, they are going to throw away all of that perfectly good food! Or two, they are planning to reserve our food to other people! We had 2 full pizzas, a whole platter of chicken strips, a platter of cheese nuggets, and a platter of veggie eggs rolls.Either way you look at it, thats just bad business!!!

Lucky Strike in LA! What can you say other than lets have some fun while visiting LA. This is in the heart of the Staples Center area and has a huge crowd on the weekends. We had a little wait to get lanes and once we did it was like any other Lucky Strike except this was LA. It was nothing to see people you know from movies, tv or sports that stopped by or passed through. It was the whos who for a minute and not much bowling was going on. Hey, whos there to bowl in LA when you are having fun with food, drinks, pictures and people watching? It was a blast and the staff was professional from start to finish. We will return again very soon and this time we will bowl more that have fun with everything else.

Love whenever there is an event at Lucky Strike, as their VIP room in the back is great. You can bowl, play pool, private bar and couches to sit and relax.And their food isnt bad! Quesadillas, wings, nuggets, fries, pizza, even the pretzels are good.Drinks arent bad and I love their special drinks for premieres or special events.If you like to have a fun time bowling, playing pool, or just hanging out with friends at the bar, this may be the place for you while at LA Live!

Review №26

WOW!! Went to the Clippers game, couple weeks ago and oh my goodness, what great service I received. There was a young lady I believe if I remember correctly her name was Jenny, and I believe she was a manager. When I tell you she gave great customer service, she went above and beyond. Being from out of town, it was comforting to know she had our backs. She suggested things for us to do while we were visiting LA. If you are ever down by the Staples Center you should definitely stop in and get the Shrimp and Grits, and hopefully Jenny and her staff will blow you away with their excellence.

Review №27

Has a really good time, bowling was fun, the food was delicious, waitress was really attentive and constantly ensured that everyone has everything they wanted.The troublesome part was when it was time to leave, our event was to include parking validation. Took about 15 minutes for the manager to come talk with me. Showed him the email in which parking validation was included, he reiterated that they dont validate. So each of us had to cough up $20 for parking.After contacting the events manager, the amount we paid for parking was fully refunded.

Review №31

Lucky Strike is definitely a fun spot in downtown LA! I do think its a little pricey but its great for work team events or just group hangouts. The service was very good and the food was just OK, but good for finger foods. The sliders had beef that was well seasoned and seems high quality, the egg rolls and potstickers were okay, and the guacamole was probably the best dish, fresh flavor, not too salty. Seating was comfortable but a lot of the couches seemed a bit worn. Still, a great place to hang out with a great ambience!

I called on Saturday to double check that they were open on Sunday. I asked the lady I spoke to if she could make sure that they are open because I was going to go for my birthday with some friends. She said no we are for sure open. When we all started to arrive it was closed for a private event. They should make sure they give accurate information to people. They could of ruined my birthday, luckily I was able to let every one know in time to go somewhere else.

A very nice Gurrrlllls Day Out, We enjoyed the amenities..........from the Jacuzis, to the Sauna and Cool room; However, my deep tissue massage was very basic body rub. The Therapist had a light and soft touch, with No Deep penetrating pressure or power (quite dissapointed). And, we entertained the Asian Fusion Cuisine was not to our taste. Overall, It is a Great Palace for relaxing and de-Stressing.

Great fun. Private party in the reserved room. Very cool. Relaxing atmosphere & friendly staff. Great views, good pool, excellent drinks, yummy food, terrific bowling (4 private lanes), and even better company.An amazing location in DTLA at LA Live to get away from the hustle of the routine for a few hours with the entire staff. A great morale & team builder at a reasonable cost per head. Looking forward to doing it again in a few months.

Fun place and good drink selections in the bar. I brought my girlfriend here for Valentines, they said they were going to make it a Valentines theme, so i reserved a lane. It wasnt really themed, however, even the music was not themed. That kind of bothered me. Overall, we had fun and the service was friendly.

I was impressed by the service. Servers were confident and talkative, which I consider positive attributes. The bowling was fun, drinks were great, and the BBQ Chicken pizza was incredible! Definitely recommend stopping in if youre in the neighborhood and looking for something fun to do for an hour or two.

Don’t bother making reservation through their website because the information they provide is misleading and the people working there obviously do NOT care about their customers. I made that mistake and within an hour of my reservation I had an emergency so I called to reschedule. The person I spoke to over the phone assured me that event hough the deposit is non-refundable, I can simply call at a different date and reschedule and still use my deposit. It is also written in the email that I can reschedule. However, when I called to to that they told me that first I cannot make reservation over the phone, which means I would have to go to the website. But on the website you can only make a new reservation. Second, when I tried to explain that they told me there’s no way for them to honor my deposit as it expired and the reservation was cancelled. I do not have a cancellation email. There’s NO expiration date in the confirmation email nor did anyone ever told me when I called to tell them I wont be able to make it.I spoke to the manager who was immediately bothered and frustrated by my call. He said he wasn’t the one I spoke to the first time and he cannot do anything to help at all. So I simply just have to forget about this payment and make a new reservation , hence, pay again. Why would I ever want to spend $35 on nothing and then try to do the same. I would understand if I didnt show up and never bother to inform them.But thats not the case.Poor customer service. Expensive for a place that have so many restrictions! No thanks! I will rather go ANYWHERE else!

Just went in during E3 on Sunday. Not busy but karaoke does not make it a fun place to play pool or even hangout. Band was good but not for the venue. Too loud and too close. Stayed long enough to play one round of pool and finish one drink. Any other day might be better.Service was very good and fast. Also very understanding when my group decided to call it after one round of pool and drinks.

Good place to bowl. Drinks are great. The only thing is the slider. A wanna be meat substitute Patty. I know its the new I wanna be healthy thing but this is a bowling alley. Sometimes you need a place to get away from all this fast city pace and be bad sometimes.

A friend and I went to go get some food late last night. As there are not many places open late night (besides trash like McDonald’s, Carl’s Jr., etc.) we decided we’d go to Yard House (also overrated and overpriced but hey, what can you do when you have the munchies?) to order from their appetizers. Unfortunately, Yard House’s kitchen had closed and they were only doing bar service. Subsequently, we head over to Ms. Lucky Strike LA Live as we’ve been there a few times before and have ordered food that was pretty good. Man, listen to me when I tell you: we had some of the nastiest food that we’ve had in a long time. It was terrible! I skimmed through Yelp reviews and it appears as though corporate changed the whole menu (this made sense as we didn’t recognize half the items). Even while buzzed, I could only eat about 2 wings. And don’t even get me started on these “waffles”.Complete TRASH and a waste or money. I was EVIL!

Have bowled here 3 separate times when attending conferences at the neighboring conference center. Great atmosphere with secluded groups of lanes. Great for a get together. Bar and food is good, acceptable service. Great place to do something during the down time of a conference or the night it ends before your flight the next morning!

Perfect place with the perfect people! Staff was strong and professional, dress code was enforced at 9pm so the staff ask me to turn my hat around to the front...NP. There was strange man sitting down staring at my party and I bowling with no intentions to play or pay, the staff jumped with on top of the situation and got the disruption out the bowling alley and even compensated my party and I with a little extra bowling time for the disruption. Lucky Strike is pricey but well worth the money and the food is good! Thanks guys!

It is very beautiful here. First the scenery is amazing. You get a nice view of downtown Los Angeles. Then the atmosphere of the place is very chill and really g with a sophisticated feel to it. Staff is also very helpful. They were frequently checking to see if we needed any assistance with drinks and stuff. And best if all parking was not expensive at all.

This is a great place no doubt, but i took a date there last week and the hostess/ server was pretty aggressive with checking in on us.... They literally stood at a distance a was watching us bowl.

Ive attended at least five different private party functions (for work) here. Those times have been fine. My visit today with a class group seemed kinda meh. I ordered some soft drinks and pizza at the bar with a friend; the bartender was pretty aloof and I now really regret that I left him a tip. I realize that we were the first customers of the morning, and I kind of suspect that the managment takes special care not to staff the bowling alley with their best employees during this shift.

Definitely staff waitress can’t remember her name she dropped my credit card could not find it and wouldn’t even have nerve to tell me and what’s worse the manager knew and also just kept looking for my card till one of my friends went and ask what was going on she responded by saying she was having an issue and still would not say she had lost my credit card. She claimed she has been looking for it. One of my friends went to look for it and found it on the floor. I told the s waitress and she made it sound like my friend had the card all the time when I personally had placed the card with the bill and handed it to her. But you would think the manager would comeAnd apologize or something nothing just a simple ISorry from s waitress .

Way overpriced for bowling on friday nights. We were brought two trays of food we did not order. They did apologize and the food was on the house but the worst was that they dont validate after I called to confirm this and was told it would be $5 parking in the east garage. Food was delicious though. We lucked out on that at least
