Before my introduction to Lucky Strike Lanes I wasn't a bowler and really had no intention of becoming a bowler. Now I can't get enough.
Lucky Strike managed to establish a place where it's easy to have a great time. The swanky atmosphere they created is a great way to get people who wouldn't bowl at their local lanes to come in and get oriented to a sport that's really quite entertaining without having to deal with the mobs of children and moon pies you normally find at your local alley.
The help there was just alright for me. They seemed uninspired and in need of some fun themselves, though I find it difficult to understand what sucks about working there. It's a fun place.
Games were expensive as far as bowling goes. The lanes were pretty much dry which was another sour point. Equipment was in great condition as was the majority of the house gear.
Floors, tables and furniture were very clean and for the most part comfy.
While I didn't order any food, the menu did look inviting.
Overall the place was inspiring. Enough so that I came home and bought a bowling ball and shoes. While I have no idea when I'll make it back to Lucky Strike, I know that if we had one nearby that it would certainly be my first choice for a hang out and for parties.
I feel the folks at Lucky Strike Lanes are on to something.
