| - While this place may look snazzy and is upscale and flashy, its pricing options for group events is unreasonable and highly inconsiderate of its patrons. I was looking to book an event here (9 people, nothing fancy). In order to do this, Strike City requires you to pay in advance days before (which isn't that bad and understandable), but they also make you match the price of the lanes (120 not including tax and tip) for 2 mere hours of bowling with the equivalent amount in food and beverage, so you basically need to pay 300 bucks to book a lane for 2 hours before you even get to the venue. Sure, every venue wants you to spend money, but to make your customers pay for food and beverage before they even get there? Seriously? We're talking about a party under 10, not 500.
This makes it extremely difficult for those who want to book a lane for a group of friends, understandable given that there is normally a 3 hour wait on Saturdays.
This policy is pretentious, and just generally unaccommodating of its patrons, especially those who are looking to split a bill. It makes the entire process awkward and expensive. Everyone realizes that institutions want to make money, but I've never encountered a venue where they try to rip you off to this extent.
Get over yourself, strike city.
