| - Lucky me!! I see a lot of trips to Lucky Strike in my future! I have been a few times now and have decided I really like the place, but not just for the bowling. I like Lucky Strike for the good food, the cool vibe, and the specials. The bowling is just an added bonus; a little something to get you moving so you're not just sitting in the same spot drinking and eating.
The lunch specials are great and so are the happy hour deals. Where else can you get a (really good) lunch for just over $5? Not many places that I know of, especially in the downtown area. And for those hard days at work when I just want to vent over a beer with coworkers, Lucky Strike is perfect!
As far as the food goes, the mini burgers are fabulous; we had the blue cheese burger (with arugula) and the buffalo chicken (grilled chicken, not "crispy" aka breaded and fried.) The pretzel sticks are yummy as are the beef skewers even if they are little on the sweet side.
In addition to lunch and happy hour, I have also been on a Saturday night and had a great time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND making reservations ahead of time. It worked out perfectly and there was quite a wait (2 hours) when we were done. Just make sure to round up all your friends as we needed more than 10 people to keep our reservation for two lanes. We bowled for two hours and hit the bar after that. Staff was very friendly and accommodating; mostly good looking girls in tank tops and short skirts.
Overall, Lucky Strike is a great addition to downtown. A cool bar that has bowling, not a dirty, smoky, bowling alley. Go for lunch, go for happy hour, or go for nighttime fun on the weekend. Either way, I think you'll have a good time.
