Kinnell ShahJune 23, 2013If you're here to bowl or play pool, call to book early. Lanes and tables get booked quickly on weekend nights and expect 2 hour waits if you're coming in at 9 PM.
Kimberly SansFebruary 13, 2011Awesome place, big and so much fun however it's ridiculous trying to order a drink at the bars.. You'll wait 15 minutes before they even look at you.. Suggestion: order a few once you get your chance.
Xavier Solé AchaMay 3, 2015Nice place for a group party!! You can play pool, billiards, ping-pong, and many more things while you have food and drinks. Lots of flat screens to watch sport games as well. Good music!- Meg BermanNovember 9, 2018Take a break for a little fun with luxury lane bowling in the Fenway area. Reservations recommended Thursday through Saturday evenings. Can be a bit busier during Fenway events.
Joel YeatonApril 12, 2015Long wait on Friday and Saturday nights but you can put your name in and they will text you, so go grab a drink at a local bar beforehand and wait!
Enrico ManaloMarch 19, 2018Cool arcade here, but mostly geared toward kids. Loved the giant Space Invaders. Good pool hall too, assuming it’s not reserved for a pool league.
foxy hunterDecember 27, 2015This place is awesome it was a surprise find we pulled three games of bowling and it was really cool
Love the vast array of arcade games on the first level!
Ally CarolanMarch 30, 2014If you are a boy wear normal shoes those wearing boots (because of rain or snow) you will be turned away. Also use the "reward" when you first set up a lane otherwise they- NaiaraAugust 1, 2015This is a good place for groups. Food is decent. Bowling facilities are very good
Abigail SMarch 31, 2017The staff could have been friendlier and the food a little higher quality. The salad was shredded lettuce, the fries were over cooked. They've got fun activities though (pool, ping pong, bowling).
Matthew PiresFebruary 23, 2016Show up early on Saturday nights if you want to bowl. I was there at 8:30pm and they quoted a 3 hour wait and it ended up being 3:45 hours.
Jeremy KrantzFebruary 16, 2015Super busy on weekends. Try to reserve a lane early and have some drinks while you wait- This place is huge! 3 floors of fun, you really can't get bored here because there's so much to do. Play pool, relax and have a beer :)
SUMO skinnyAugust 22, 2011Since the place is huge many people don't realize they have a great roof deck. Limited to 45 people so make sure you get there early.
Alex DobyanMay 19, 2015It's a cool venue - the drinks are fairly priced, which will likely drop the quality of the bowling for most...
Great atmosphere. You can play pool,ping pong, & bowl. I suggest any of the pizzas. They're great
Jake SmithMarch 17, 2012If you expect to bowl on the weekend, get here early; it gets PACKED on Friday and Saturday night.
PUMAJuly 12, 2011Bowl In style at Lucky Strike! One of Boston's best bowling allies. Remember life's more fun when you're keeping score!- Don't miss the awesome Shepard Fairey artwork in the 3rd floor hallway
Steve QuigleyApril 9, 2010Had a blast last night at a tweet-up at Jillians organized by the famous Eric Leist. What a fun place. How can you go wrong? Beer...Bowling...B...ig TVs.
Eric V FieldsMay 3, 2012Mike's, as in "Mike's Lemonade" is giving away free samples of their new Long Island Ice Tea and Hurricane Drinks tonight.- The best bowling ally in Boston! Food and drink served lane side, the decor is super swanky, just an all around good time.
The FeastJune 7, 2011Dress code enforced after 8 p.m. which means no hats or sweats. Spend $10 on lunch and get a free game.
Good place for pool/bowling, but it gets packed on weekends. Check out all the Shepard Fairey (OBEY) artwork in bathroom corridor, 3rd floor.
SNOCRUOctober 16, 2012If the lanes upstairs are too crowded go to the second floor lanes. Always an opening
- kalpesh guptaDecember 23, 2011GREAT place to hangout. Loud and lovely place (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
EdDecember 17, 2015Food is no good, beer selection so-so. But if you want to bowl, and can't make it to Kings, this is the place.
James SaundersMarch 11, 2010It's awesome when they harrass a group of 12 paying customers because they turn 21+ at 8:30 on a Wednesday night. Also, don't you dare wear a hat.
sarah shortMarch 12, 2011this is not a sports bar. Do not expect to watch sports here. We were here basketball championship weekend and they were playing espn news and replay of the bruins.
Lucky strike has the worst selection of bowling balls and lowest quality lanes I've ever played on. Other than that, it's a fun place to hang out.
Nandanie SpahrFebruary 3, 2012Don't go on Fri and Sat nights. During the week its much better...unless you want the annoying college crowd screaming in your ears...
stylebostonOctober 19, 2010The bowling alley was built in the 1950’s and the same machines are still running!
