This place gets up there and if you don't have a reservation it's really hard to get in... but it's a blast with a group of your closest friends!

Chanel Alexander

Becoming one of my new fav hot spots! Great atmosphere, people, food and fun times. You can't go wrong! Try the short rib tacos and grilled chicken wings ! They are amazing!

Party like rap stars and reserve Lucky Strike’s VIP Luxe Lounge , a private, high-end area for your party complete with four bowling lanes , a big screen television , and a bar that never seems to empty. Read more

Robert Belnap

More fun if your bowling name was a prostitute name: 1st=Name of first pet ; 2nd=Street you grew up on. I was PATCHES LOKELANI. I blame all that cracking up on everyone's names for my 22 bowling score.

Kelsey Kotzebue

Used to be my favorite place before the Giants game but ever since they changed the menu (few months ago), I can't stand it. They got rid of all the best appetizers !

Lazar Stojković

I had never expected to be impressed by food at a bowling alley , but the barbacoa street tacos here were absolutely amazing.

Josh Aranoff

With the exception of the one person that checked us in and our waitress at the lane Lucky Strike was about the most disappointing experience I could have imagined.

Alex Kim

That second lane closest to the shoes kept dropping an additional pin between bowls. The guy at the desk said to just manually subtract it every frame :/

Keith Smith

Perfect for the city , BUT those DAMNED pins on STRINGS?!?!? WTF!!! The atmosphere is club-like with a nice decor and decent, pricey food but not the place for hardcore bowlers

Alan Fung

Bowling , food, beverages alcoholic and nonalcoholic, and casual games.

Dean Rzonca

They use bowling pins on strings instead of real pinsetters, so I wouldn't necessarily come here to bowl.

Thrillist

In between frames, side your 5hr-braised chipotle short rib with Belgian fries featuring chimichurri aioli dipping sauce . Read more

Jole P

Good music and a cool aesthetic. Landed slightly smaller than usual though

Joe Kromer

While the lanes might be regulations length. The approach is short and the pins are set by strings, think duckpin bowling . All in all still a great time.

@DavidCruiseSF

Josh at the bar is awesome! Ask him to make you one of his special Veev cocktails for a special experience.

James Paul

Get the tacos and a pint of Bear Republic Racer 5 before the ballgame and you're set.

P-Rich

Always call ahead to make sure there are lanes available! Great staff .

Drew Christien

Probably the best lucky strike I've been to (Over LA, NY, Chicago).

Shirley Liu

Try the Orange Dreamsicle or the Bijou if you're in the mood for a fun cocktail !

Janny said what? Jannysaisquoi

friendly staff ; finger foods; fresh fish ; screens for every game.

Suanna Irwin

Their nachos was the bomb!

Tom Whitaker

Short lanes and pins on strings ? I thought you Americans knew how to do bowling right? Still fun though. Good nachos .

Miguel Cervera

Make sure you either make a "party reservation " or arrive super early

Alfredo Biralde

Try the Surf And Turf - #mondays mini french dip and mini lobster club sliders

Guilherme Sprint

Good location and good service . The equipment is not that new thou

Simon Favreau-Lessard

Great place for an eat, drink and play some bowling company offsite

Kevin ⚡ Liu

Get 100 McNuggets for $20 across the street and bring them in. Lubricate fingers, bowl 300

Michael R

Big Lebowski versus King Pin...who will be the victor? (If you said King Bid, we will have to have some words) ;)

William Lai

If you like your whiskey "on the rocks", be prepared to pay a $4 up charge for their ice. Manager says there is a $4 up charge if you order "neat" too...

Lisette Elizalde

Make sure you go see Jolene ! Best cocktails ever !!!

Daniel Rusteen

$5.95 per player or $40/hr (midweek) plus $5 shoe rental plus $4 for socks

Stefanos Kofopoulos

Try the draft Napa organic beer . It's amazing!

Will

For some reason they will not give you a bourbon neat. But they will give it to you with only one rock.

Pax Lund

Right across from the park and foods on point!

Aaron Solochek

Good for socializing. Not exactly a real bowling alley

Jason Dent

Chandlar is the most awesome bartender !!! <3

Tessa MacDuff Pupius

You have to make a reservation 2 weeks in advance.

Will

Don't come here if you want proper lanes to bowl on. Pins are on strings and seem light. Lanes don't seem lubricated. Come here if you just want to have fun and don't give a care.

Brian Trejo

You can control the music if you download the roqbot app (then delete it later...)

Amanda Van West

The best bowling alley this side of market street!

tina ????????‍♀️ ????????????????????????

The soma martini is delicious

Bennett W Wong

Nice spot for bowling activities

Ryan Block

Expensive, but great locatuon

A Ballesteros

Don't get your hopes up on wobbles because the pins are on strings.

D'Maize Restaurant

Perfect couple

David Jarvis

Horrible service the first time through. gave it a second chance since it's in my hood. The second time the bad service started with the doorman and continued at the bar . Doubtful I'll be back.

Nikki Judge

Read the quotes from The Big Lebowski on the way to the bathroom . The Dude abides!

Rachael Lynn

The VIP lanes in back are supreme.

D V

Chicken nachos ! Get 'em!

Matthew Reyes

Never order the Soma Martini . Seriously.
