Firstly, I love bowling. Secondly, bowling in a cool looking place is even better. Third, add ping pong and pool tables and good pub grub, whats not to like?

Amazing space. Drinks are well made, music was everything, and the bar staff was friendly! Went on a Wednesday, wasnt too crowded but it was still a vibe. I received a veggie burger instead of the bacon-loaded one that I ordered (which I hadnt even noticed right away) but the worker came after a few minutes and exchanged it. Would return :)

Went to Lucky Strike yesterday. The place itself is pretty nice, but the management is awful. Especially Melton. He is in charge for organizational part of the process in the evenings and doesnt do his job properly. It seem that he is asking for money to be given to him (I saw other people were giving him cash upon check in). As a result we were waiting to play bowling for 2 hours. But moreover we were notified that all he allows us to play is only 1 hour...for some reason. As a generosity he let us extend to another 15 minutes and then our lane was shut. He claimed that there is a lot of people waiting. When we were leaving nobody played on our lane and another 5(!) lanes next to us were empty for more than 40 minutes. He still didnt let us to extend. This message is more for higher management. I hope this place become more organized because it has a lot of potential.

I love how they had 1930’s Turner’s movies playing during the day. It gave an old timey NYC feeling. I do feel like the ping pong table and pool should some how be packaged with the bowling games I stead of having to pay separately. We enjoyed killing some time after the Circle Line cruise, which is conveniently walking distance.

This place is a good time, especially for groups. It has the vibe and music of a club. Waiters come to your table for drinks and food. DJ was playing hip-hop while I was there. Other than the bowling section, theres also a small arcade section and pool tables. Lots of TVs that were playing a few different games. A little more expensive than a normal bowling alley, but its worth the extra money.

My friends hosted a birthday party here for me. Very cool. We had a large space. We controlled the music. Food and drinks were good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall a fun time.

Large bowling alley with plenty of extras for those who do not bowl. There are multiple pool and ping pong tables. There is also a large bar area.Went there for an office party. Party separated by other bowlers with heavy drapes. Added a nice touch to event.Apps and dinner were great. The cheeseburger sliders were awesome.Wait staff was very attentive between alley setup, drinks and food.

Our company rented out several lanes for a celebration. They cordoned off the area with giant curtains which really made it feel like a private space. That was great. We got lots of apps, which were all quite tasty. Not too wide of a selection of beer. The lanes we were on didnt have a wide selection of ball sizes either. But everybody was able to make due with something.They didnt require you to use their shoes as long as yours were like tennis shoes with rubber soles.

Its located in a far away land... The Weeest Side Highway. No trains run there, the bus takes a while and walking through the crowds is like a game of frogger. But once there, Fun times. Staff is friendly. Drinks are good. Music is pumping. And the competition gets heated. Good luck

I was not there for bowling, it’s was New year bash.. .It was new year 17 party and they had booked the whole place. After entering, I thought who book this kinda place but later on, I realized they are out of space. The bartender was amazing he was trying his best to keep all patrons happy. they had one big room where Dj was playing with his tunes. The dance floor was quite small considering no of folks out there. Many of us dancing out near the bowling alley.A good place to have a party.

Fabulous! They treated me like a king. Very energetic, good atmosphere, but a little young if you are older go somewhere else or bring your own party. Overall I liked it. I would go again. Be prepared to spend some real money. I mean really spend. If you have it go for it.

I would not recommend having a party here. I pitched the kingpin package and this place was very unorganized and filthy.When we arrived there were people playing at the lanes we had booked for another 30min so we had to sit around and wait with not one employee letting us know what’s going on. A manager came out when we arrived at 6 and said we would be at lanes 5 & 6 no one walked us or showed us over to our lanes. They knew there were people there but did not care and didn’t apologize we would have to wait 30 min.I also paid and booked for a pool and ping pong table. Yet the they did not have them set up for the party or tagged reserved so the entire night there were other people playing on the tables and we did not get to use them during the party.They called last call on you 30min prior to your party ending. I had to ask the waitress to please come back again because we did get seated late.She did say yes no problem and she was in fact a wonderful waitress and tried her best to bring drinks and food out as soon as possible.The bathroom had no toilet paper the entire night although my guest asked multiple times if they could put toilet paper in the bathroom. We had to get napkins the entire night.Before our party was over they sent other people to play out our lanes were we were still sitting and finishing up food. No one came back to clean up the tables or help and the people were mad as if it was our fault. We explained we were seated late and they should go discuss switching lanes. Which they had to do. But again not one staff came to assist the next party or find out what’s going on. Very unorganized no management and very dirty.No refund on the ping pong tables not even a free drink offered while we wait for the inconvenience.No mangers in site and no party coordinator or staff to assist. Huge mess. Nice to just show up and bowl a game or two and leave. DO NOT pay for a party here or at least night the top package it is really not worth it. There were more issues but then this review would be too long. Our waitress gets 5 stars.

Amazing time at Lucky Strike. I celebrated my daughters sweet sixteen there. The ambience was great, food and drinks were delicious without breaking the bank and the service was top notch. Highly recommend it.

We had an intern event here and it was pretty fun. Our group was about 40 people and they were able to accommodate us. We had access to the billiard table as well as the lanes. The food/apps were fine and the staff was relatively friendly but not overly attentive. Id consider coming back here for another event but it was a little pricey in my mind to come back on my own.

Great for fun gatherings but the veggie burger was NOT made with love... my friends had regular burgers and they werent thrilled either... we gave up after the kitchen tried a 2nd time to get it right and ate bc we were super hungry... Ill probably go back again but more for the fun activities but not the food...

Typical modern glamour bowl but we had more than 1 stoppage for mechanical problems. There were also some bowlers in our group that had difficulty finding a ball sized for adult hands. The food was better than expected for a bowling alley.

Very clean and neat establishment. This is a great bowling place for groups, not really a couple. The couches give it a lounge feel and their service was great. From 42nd train station its a good 15-20 min walk.

Great time, organized an outing with around 30. Contacted reservations to get packages and pricing. (Several different proce points) and very accommodating. Excellent atmosphere, the whole gathering thoroughly enjoyed themselves.Service was acceptable, one improvement point is food, it was pub sort, but no one really had a positive take. All in all, recommended.

Bowling meets club atmosphere. Was here for a party with a large group. Mostly went great but little details were off... For example, wait staff carried away drinks that werent finished... We also had a technical problem, took them about 10 minutes to get our lane up and running and they said they would add time back but never did, we didnt feel like arguing / raising the issue at the end but it would have been the right thing to do...

Review №39

This place is so far off the path. And cold af since its close to the water around this time. Bowling was typical. Nothing special. The food was lack luster. I felt the wine pours were a little on the light side. All in all the staff was friendly and attentive but it was nothing special. The food couldve been so much better. Super dry and crunchy chicken bites, pizza that could barely rival frozen and a caesar salad that was paired with ranch or some other weird dressing. Meh!

Nice ambiance, upscale setting and decent music. My date and I had a long wait due to a technical error with another customer so that was a negative. I was surprised that the place was busy on a Wednesday. Service was good. The menu is limited but I found the shrimp cups to be a really delicious, meatless option.

Review №52

I came here with about 6 friends to hang out for an afternoon a couple months ago and it was awful. It would take them at least 30 minutes to bring out a round of drinks each time we ordered. Our lane also broke down multiple times so we had to go to the front desk to resolve the issue. Two time consuming problems which is insanely frustrating when you’re paying for overpriced bowling by the hour.If you’re thinking of going here, just call an Uber and head to Chelsea piers.

The weekend dress code is pretty strict, so Id check it out before heading out. Other than that weekends are pretty lit, theres a DJ and a lounge area but bowling prices can be expensive. They always seem to have super cheap weeknight specials (like Sun-Wed) so Id check those out if youre on a budget. The staff is awesome; go here.

Good food, good prices.Was at the convention center and we needed a nearby place to eat and use facilities. Food was quite tasty and reasonably priced. Our party had the pizza, a burger, and wings. No complaints from anyone in our group. Place was very well kept and clean. Would recommend as a place to eat if you are near the convention center looking for food.

My students and I really enjoyed this place. They were approximately twenty students and five staff. Despite the large group of clients, the service was very professional and effective. Their entertainment facilities are first class. They have a great variety of games, such as ping pong table, billiards, bowling and others. As for the food, even though the service was fast, the pizzas we ordered were not the best. However, I totally recommend this place for great group of people.

Nice place - if youre already at least half deaf. The lanes are nicely kept, the staff are friendly and helpful, there are billiards and ping pong for those not bowling, the attached cocktail bar is nice, the atmosphere is trendy but relaxed. The one thing is that as soon as you step in the door, youre blasted with a wall of sound. A pair of 30db earmuffs (intended for people operating heavy machinery or going to a gun range) brought the volume down from overwhelming to merely moderately painful. Dont expect to be able to talk to anyone more than 6 inches away. Im pretty sure employees are going to suffer permanent hearing damage.

It was ok but our guns didnt work for about 15 minutes and we werent offered a different place to sit. They only comped us five minutes on top of the time that was already paid for. To make matters worse I wanted wings and fries. They only offered wings and waffles and the bartender didnt ask the cool if we could substitute them for an upcharge. She flat out said no. Not something they can do. Never heard of that in my life. Plus I think the bartender was ready to go. I dont blame her. Poor girl.

Had an awesome night here with my friends during a nyc trip. Bowling is always fun and brings out the kid in you, but this place has a fun nightclub kind of vibe. The only downside that I can comment on is the price of drinks. I guess that’s anywhere in nyc but it would be great if at least they had some happy hour specials or something.
