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.

Kimberly Sans

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.

Xavier Solé Acha

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 !

Meg Berman

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 .

Joel Yeaton

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!

Enrico Manalo

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.

foxy hunter

This place is awesome it was a surprise find we pulled three games of bowling and it was really cool

Sofia Papastamelos

Love the vast array of arcade games on the first level!

Ally Carolan

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

amanda brooke

second floor redone, awesome arcade .. would 10/10 recommend

Naiara

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

Abigail S

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 ).

Kim Pham

Come in the afternoon for bowling ($6/game).

Matthew Pires

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.

Jeremy Krantz

Super busy on weekends. Try to reserve a lane early and have some drinks while you wait

Heather B.

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 :)

BU Today

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

SUMO skinny

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.

Alex Dobyan

It's a cool venue - the drinks are fairly priced , which will likely drop the quality of the bowling for most...

Ronny Galvao

Great atmosphere. You can play pool ,ping pong , & bowl. I suggest any of the pizzas . They're great

Jake Smith

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

PUMA

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

Eric Andersen

Don't miss the awesome Shepard Fairey artwork in the 3rd floor hallway

Steve Quigley

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 .

Olexy Sadovy

Bowling , pool, ping pong , lots of fun

Eric V Fields

Mike's, as in "Mike's Lemonade " is giving away free samples of their new Long Island Ice Tea and Hurricane Drinks tonight.

Heather B.

The best bowling ally in Boston! Food and drink served lane side, the decor is super swanky , just an all around good time.

The Feast

Dress code enforced after 8 p.m. which means no hats or sweats. Spend $10 on lunch and get a free game.

John LeMaire

Amazing atmosphere, sports galore

Al S

Good place for pool/bowling, but it gets packed on weekends. Check out all the Shepard Fairey (OBEY) artwork in bathroom corridor, 3rd floor.

SNOCRU

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

Everything

Jonathan Bryda

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

Ed

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.

Mohamed

No need for ID before 8 pm

James Saunders

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.

Eric O

Check out their bowling leagues !

Jake Smith

Try the Punching Bag machine and try to get over 800 points.

Cleide Souza

The best place in Boston

Andy Dun

Bowling and mozzarella sticks

manda carco

tip you waitresses and bartenders . even if you just get water all day!

sarah short

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.

Brent Grinna

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 Spahr

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...

James Lau

Bowling , pool, music , and beer . Have fun!

Simone Pereira

Great place to bowl!

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