| - Downtown Phoenix is slowly maturing and that's a good thing. The addition of activity based businesses like Lucky Strike will definitely increase the allure of driving downtown for something other than a Suns or Dback game (or the occasional concert)
We were fortunate enough to have a team building event at Lucky Strike to wrap up another great year of being Sprouties. We spent the morning volunteering and working up an appetite at the UMOM center and then drove a couple of quick minutes to the center of town for some great food and awesome lanes in a super cool environment.
Clearly, Lucky Strike is primarily designed for team building events like ours, (we weren't the only team there). It's relatively large, full bar menu, and we opted for appetizers (pizza, chicken satay, poppers, chips/salsa, bacon wrapped shrimp, etc.). We're a pretty large group, about 50 of us and they had no trouble keeping the food coming, plenty to go around. I'd give the food 3.5 stars, certainly edible with no grumbling from the team. This isn't Peter Piper or Chuck E. Cheese type of microwaveable junk food, its actually very good and they have a working kitchen.
And a full bar. Did I mention the full bar? I'm not much of a day drinker but its always comforting to know the option is there (I'm not a big fan of beer or wine so the option for a G&T or old-fashioned makes me happy-although good ice tea garners much the same respect.)
I hope we come back here next year, easy parking, cool shops in the area, and a metro Phoenix downtown that is starting to finally take shape.
