Awesome 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.

If 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.

Nice 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!

Take 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.

Long 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!

Cool 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.

If 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

This is a good place for groups. Food is decent. Bowling facilities are very good

Come in the afternoon for bowling ($6/game).
Abigail SMarch 31, 2017
The 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, 2016
Show 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.

Super 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 :)

70,000 square feet and 3 stories of entertainment. Pool hall, bowling alleys, dance club, and restaurant. Read more

Since 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.

It'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

If you expect to bowl on the weekend, get here early; it gets PACKED on Friday and Saturday night.

Bowl In style at Lucky Strike! One of Boston's best bowling allies. Remember life's more fun when you're keeping score!

Had 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.

Mike'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, 2011
Dress 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.

If the lanes upstairs are too crowded go to the second floor lanes. Always an opening

Don't wear time or work boots, they won't let you in after 8 if you do

No need for ID before 8 pm

Food is no good, beer selection so-so. But if you want to bowl, and can't make it to Kings, this is the place.
Eric OMarch 2, 2015
Check out their bowling leagues!
Jake SmithMarch 17, 2012
Try the Punching Bag machine and try to get over 800 points.

The best place in Boston

Bowling and mozzarella sticks
James SaundersMarch 11, 2010
It'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.
manda carcoAugust 7, 2011
tip you waitresses and bartenders. even if you just get water all day!
sarah shortMarch 12, 2011
this 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.
James LauMarch 22, 2012
Bowling, pool, music, and beer. Have fun!
Erica LynnJanuary 14, 2012
From start to finish, everyone I dealt with was beyond rude. Our food was delivered without plates or silverware. When asked, a server's response was "I'm not your server."

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.
Simone PereiraMay 29, 2013
Great place to bowl!
Nandanie SpahrFebruary 3, 2012
Don't go on Fri and Sat nights. During the week its much better...unless you want the annoying college crowd screaming in your ears...

The bowling alley was built in the 1950’s and the same machines are still running!
