HANDS DOWN BEST DAMN CUBAN IVE EVER HAD!!!!! They smoke all meats and they are so tender and perfect. James my server was ON POINT! We wimped out and sat in the game area while they were getting flooded in the main bar area but he was on it like a machine!! Thanks guys....WELL DONE!!! read more

In a word: overpriced It has a cool atmosphere but you will pay for every hip couch, lame DJ and watered down drink you order. The food is mediocre at best. As far as private events, just be prepared to pay thru the nose... read more

Lucky Strike Denver - Bowling Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Good environment, burger was good, and the pool tables were free. Table condition was good

Customer service is STELLAR. Everyone we interacted was super nice! John, Katie and Kelly were all amazing. All smiles and very attentive. I don't think I've ever been to a lucky strikes with such great service and I've been in at least 3 other other cities. Also excellent covid precautions. Thanks guys! read more

My company had an evening event here. We rented the bowling alley and arcade, and had an absolute blast. Marie was so, so kind: she brought me a whole pizza *while* I played pinball. So kind! Thanks for a great night. read more

This place is wonderful. The bar staff is incredible. Kelly and Mitchell we're both wonderful! I would seriously give em both like 15 stars. Both of them deserve a raise! Kudos to you all and thank you for making Denver more fun for my wife and I. read more

If you like to bowl, this is not the place. Horrible uneven lanes. Especially for the price. I also asked our server several times for a drink and it never came. Very disappointed. read more

I had a great time with my friends. Food and drinks were great! Would definitely recommend!

I went with the intentions to bowl a few games alone. I know. Alone. lol Rest at ease because I am not always alone. I usually have great company. When I arrived and noticed how busy this place was I choose not to hog a lane all to my lonesome. Besides there were people trying to enjoy some quality bowling with the family. Which brings me to my review. This place has great food. The drinks are fairly priced and have multiple selections. I would bring a date here or my family. Special thanks to the staff for keeping me company!! read more

First and foremost, $20 for two people and two pair of shoes for one round is expensive, right? I remember when bowling was a cheap activity, no? Nonetheless, I am still giving this place 5-stars in case that is not expensive. Living downtown, there are not many options for indoor recreation like bowling. Luckily, no pun intended, Lucky Strike is right up the street on 16th Street Mall. It's an expansive facility with multiple lanes, seating at each lane, more seating on the sides of the lanes and behind the lane, plus a bar area, lounge area with huge TVs, and pool tables. When we went for a Sunday Funday, they also offered a Bloody Mary bar! Best part - this bowling alley appeared to be non-smoking! read more

Just going to throw it out there that a SIDE OF FRIES is $8. That should give you an idea of the "value" of this place. I will also say that the last time I came here, I had the food no fewer than 10 minutes before the server came and cleared my food away. Ridiculous. Drinks are weak. If you love overpaying, come get it. read more

Lucky Strike Denver - Does this look like $8 worth of fries to you? - Bowling Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Atmosphere: Good Location: Middle of tourist 16th street mall Menu creativity: Meh Execution: Meh Drinks: overpriced Staff: Meh Overall value: priced too high Everything costs and costs are high. If you don't have a reservation (not even sure if they take reservations), you will wait a long time unless you are going for drinks only (I was there at an off time on a weekend). Billiards: there was one rack that was not broke for 3 tables, most of the sticks were not straight, and there was a hole in the pocket on of the tables. This is way below par for a place that rents by the hour and is not a dingy bar. Drinks: drinks were extremely high priced and very poor mixes. I was very dissatisfied. I also felt like I was putting a burden on the bar staff each time we ordered drinks. Bowling: small alley (expected). The balls got stuck 6 times in two games, the score did not always update properly, and the buttons to key in names was very difficult. Bar atmosphere was good and similar to Buffalo Wild Wings (open, tall ceiling, close quarters) with a nicer appearance (wood trimmed, more upscale bar). I would only go back for location convenience if it were a party of some sort. read more

I am not one to head to 16th Street Mall on my day off but my friend wanted to bowl so we went on the $2 Tuesday. Given the fact that I'm not really good at bowling and that it was dead was kind of nice. It was almost a little too quiet with no on there, not that it mattered but just an erie feeling. Anyways, the bowling was cheap and the staff was nice and friendly. Only bummer is paying for parking in the garage. I wish they validated like the theater's but I guess that's the downtown prices you pay. read more

My company Holiday party was held here a couple weeks ago. I'd never been before, but it was a lot of fun. The location is on the top floor of the Pavilions on 16th Street Mall. It's a fairly large location with a dining area, a lounge area, a bar, and bowling lanes. There aren't that many bowling lanes though, I was expecting more for the size of the place. The food there was good and so were the drinks. The bowling was fun, and I only had a couple of problems with the pins not resetting properly. I would definitely go back with friends for a game of bowling or to just hang out and grab a drink. read more

We ventured out on New Year's day to meet up with a crowd to have some fun. This was definitely the place to be! Lanes were reserved in advance so there was no problem getting in a few games. Unfortunately, it's really hard to bowl when you've got 15 people who all want to have a go at it, this certainly makes for a really LONG game, unless of course you decide to "Speed Bowl". New Year's Day afternoon it was not extremely packed as I has suspected. This was certainly a pleasant surprise. We parked under the pavilions and made our way up to the 3rd floor via elevator. (note) Lucky Strike will not validate parking for you. We took full advantage of the Mimosa deal, 10.00 got you a bottle of champagne and a carafe of OJ. The menu selections are great as well. Our day of Munchies and Mayhem consisted of the following. Parmesan garlic wings, homemade chips, Short Rib Tacos, Sliders, and of course Fries. We thoroughly enjoyed all offerings several times and found all to be satisfying. The portions are decent and were prepared well. I especially liked the short rib tacos. They are 3 to an order and so yummy. The meat is tender and nicely spiced; the shells are light and crisp. The location is situated nicely over the pavilions. There's outdoor seating available as well for the nicer months. Plenty of room for bowling, pool and even relaxing to watch the big game on one of several TV's located throughout the place. Already looking forward to next New Year's Day. read more

overpriced, and they stole my friends personal item and then lied and "pretended to check the cameras". Applebees has better food and drinks - plus they don't steal your item. read more

Lucky Strike impressed me; it's far from your average bowling alley. There is a full service bar and restaurant with a lounge feel, and lots of bar games : billiards, darts, and that bean bag sack toss game. Of course, there are the bowling lanes, which seem a little longer than normal? But maybe in just trying to make excuses for bowling sub-100z. The place has a classy and contemporary design, and would be a great choice for a double-date or an end-of-the -workweek get together. It is located right in the heart of 16th Street mall. read more

Very fun and very helpful staff. The booking process was easy and we prepaid for our lane. We had fun and it was overall a great experience

Made reservations for December 31st on December 26th. Came in to check in turns out they canceled all reservations because it's New Years. I believe they should have notified me. They kept telling me "well it's New Year's Eve" as if I should have known that they were going to take reservations online but not honor them. I was charged a deposit and was told they don't know if I can get a refund on something that was their mistake! It is 7pm and their wait is 3 hours. I can't wait because I have 3 kids and they are 21 and over after 10. They said a manager would contact me on Wednesday. We'll see what they say then. My kiddos were very disappointed. Other places and restaurants did let me know they weren't accepting reservations on this date due to the holiday I believe they should have done the same. read more

See all

I've been here a few times for special events over the past few years. Nice fun place. Bowling was fun. The foods tasted nice for a bowling ally and the drinks were quick and mixed strong. A great atmosphere for a bowling ally and adults! read more

What an amazing place this was!!! First of all I made a reservation for the wrong date, so I called and spoke with Kelly (I believe he was the service manager) anyways he was amazing and fixed my mess up and got us in with no issues at the time we wanted to come in originally!!! Then we had the best server in the whole place!!! MATT he was amazing!!! He was quick with the amazing drinks we ordered!! My group called them IV bags!! Anyways hit this place up and ask for Matt to serve you (he was the best) and if you have any issues talk to Kelly, he will make sure you have a grand time!!!!!! read more

I came in after work for a beer and Mitch and Lexi were working behind the bar. I got boneless wings for dinner which were great! The bar is huge and they were really fast getting drinks, it was a really fun atmosphere. The Tangerine cream by station 26 is a must try beer! read more

This place don't deserve 1 star. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Bad customer service. We called and try to make reservation and we were told that they're not busy and just come in. Yes it's true they were not busy they had 4 lanes open the whole time and this guy takes my name and told us we have to wait for 2 hours. 30 minutes later I went back to him and pointed out the 4 lanes has been open the whole time and he said "No! I told you to wait for 2 hours". I wanted to leave but my kids wanted to wait. We were sitting and waiting and wondering why he wouldn't put us in one of those 4 lanes that are open. 1 hour and 45 minutes later I went back to him and pointed out again the lanes that are open and he gave me an attitude and I finally asked to see his manager and he answered " do you want a lane or manager " and I said both. This guy has to be fired!!! read more

I don't care much for the bowling here, and let me tell you why: It's pricey and the service tends to be slow. Usually, the lanes are packed and you have to wait a bit (minutes, hours, days, who's counting?). It's dim, and it can take a while to get a drink. You may as well start a tab at the bar (which I've done before), but even that can be a pain every once in a while. I guess I should expect that though, as this is more of a "bowling lounge," not the old school bowling alley we went to as kids with stinky neon yellow cheese nachos and soft-ish pretzels (well they tried to make them soft, but no dice) that you stick in the aforementioned nacho cheese. All that before you stick your hand back into the disgusting germ filled balls to take your turn (don't worry; they still have the putrid balls and rancid shoes. That will never go away). Bonus for having a ball with 5 finger holes. That's right. 5 finger holes. Go find it. It's magical. At least I can sit on the couches that suck you in like an abyss. You might be able to get out, you might not. Now the attached arcade section is my place to go (still part of the Lucky Strike, but called "For the Win.") It's a smaller Dave and Buster's, but still fun. You buy a card with credits on it, and your tickets are stored electronically. Pretty nifty. Only 3 dated pinball machines tucked away into the corner. I guess pinball just ain't what the kids are playing these days. But there are lots of other games scattered around, such as skeeball (my 2nd favorite), racing games, and shooting games. Service at the bar is definitely hit or miss. Tends to be slow even where there's nobody sitting in the bar/lounge area, but sometimes you'll luck out and get an attentive and engaging bartender. It's a gamble, but I'd say that you might be waiting for awhile. Stay away from the bowling, head to the arcade, and MAYBE get a drink. If you're lucky. read more

Cool, upscale bowling alley with a real bar. This isn't what I expected for a bowling alley. Considering that I haven't bowled in nearly 20 years, this is what I would call an upscale, contemporary establishment. It is very clean and very comfortable, with leather couches and nicely wides screen televisions. I rented shoes, and they too were failry new and in good condition. The service was good, our server was very attentive. The food was surprisingly good too, considering what you would normally expect at a bowling alley. We had the mini sliders, nachos and pizza. This is different bowling. I enjoyed it. read more

Upon arrival the security (Juan) was exceptional helpful, the cashier at the front was so polite, pleasant and helpful. Then Julius the Manager and my server Gladys were awesome they made my visit and experience exceptional, Julius and Gladys made sure and took care of all my concerns just what I needed. Thank you my angels for making my visit a night to remember and for letting me know that I am worthy and deserve to be treated exceptional. read more

Julius, JJ, and the rest of the staff were great hosts! We were in town for work training and decided Thursday afternoon that we wanted to go bowling that evening as a team before our last day. From arranging the lanes to keeping at least 20 check separated, they were efficient and gracious the entire time. We never felt like we were an inconvenience. I will definitely go back the next time we are in Denver. read more

Went here on the 23rd for my friends birthday gathering. I want to start by saying the bartender lost my boyfriend's card. He started a tab at the bar and they kept his credit card, when we went to close out they couldn't find his card, but they did find his signed receipt - which was not signed by my boyfriend. Management was absolutely no help, just confirming that they gave the card to someone else?! The transaction wasn't even voided and we later had to dispute the charge through our card company... not sure how you just give someone else's card away and close out the wrong tab - also note my boyfriend has a very unique and very Greek name so the likelyhood someone had the same name is slim to none. We weren't offered any compensation at all because of this inconvenience, also noting my boyfriend no longer has a card for the holidays now... When we arrived noone seemed to know where we were set up, so I assumed it was one of the tables marked reserved and just sat down. It took a while probably like 15 or so minutes before the server acknowledged us just to let us know she was getting caught up and would be with us shortly. My friend had already booked and paid for appetizers to be brought out for the group, which these were brought out to us before we even got our drinks. It took between 20-30 minutes to get drinks from our server, and not to her fault but the bartender did not seem like he didn't know what he was doing or was overwhelmed by the night (which I bartend at a restaurant in Denver) & he maybe had 10 people sitting at the bar plus server tickets to 6 tables. The food was good, but we had to eat it without silverware, plates and napkins until we asked for them. We got wings and the sauces were brought out 30 min after the wings, so we got to enjoy 3 wings with the sauces. But at least the food as served hot and it was good. Too bad the bartender sucked and couldn't do his job. I work $1600 nights alone every week, and if it takes you 20-30 min to get draft beers out I think it's time for you to look for another career. Also losing a customer's card and giving it to a completely different person should get you written up or fired. We will never return and this is a warning to future patrons to watch your cards! read more

We came twice to play bowling here . The bowling alley is well maintained and great for having a good time with family or friends. The prices are great and food and drinks are great . read more

My class has been visiting this bowling alley for 5 years. We practice here for bowling special Olympics every years 2 to 4 times in the fall. Everyone is always friendly and very accommodating. This year when we went we discovered the Tuesday bowling deal had been changed to Sundays. The manager honored the price and invited us to come again for the same deal. Our students love to go here and so do the teachers. Food is a bit pricey but is always good as is the service. The kids have plenty of space to sit and they love watching Seaseme Street while waiting for their turns. Thank you for always making our bowling trips enjoyable and easy read more

What a waist of time. I walked in and wanted to go bowling w my partner and get a drink or two and a appetizer and enjoy some time together and when we got there it was a 30 min wait. So we got drinks at the bar which was expensive for no reason didn't even feel a buzz going on and played in the arcade and half the games were not working!! 30 mins passed and we still didn't get a call to go bowling so we left. Spent way more money at the bar than I would on a bottle. Ridiculous I would not recommend going here and the tables and chairs were dirty smh read more

They have good video and arcade games Good ambiance Bowling shoes are so old Wait time for bowling is so long sometimes (more than 3-4 hours). We were in a long line to put down our names but the staff were busy flirting with some girls in the front and ignored the rest of us for 10 minutes! Some bartenders are rude although some others are very cool and friendly read more

This was such an overall refreshing experience that you don't get at every restaurant or business in general. Everyone from the host, the bartenders, the severs and the bowling receptionist were so accommodating and pleasant to be around. They gave us great service and blew expectations out fo the park. I ordered the chicken jerk sliders and they were amazing. If I'm ever back in Denver I will for sure be giving Lucky Strike another visit. read more

I had a date here last night, at around midnight. It was a Saturday night, but we didn't have to wait for a lane. However, when we got to our lane, the pins had to be reset. It took about 10-15 minutes to get someone to reset them for us. Throughout the game, there were many times that the computer didn't calculate what was actually happening right, so our scores were constantly inaccurate. I even got a strike and it just reset all of the pins! The games also seemed very expensive compared to other places in the area, we paid over $40 for just two games and our shoes. The pro of the bowling area was where you sat. There was a long couch, which was super comfortable. You also had access to a big TV that you could control. I didn't like how I had to duck under or around it to see how my date was doing while bowling though. It seemed more in the way than anything. I also did not enjoy the restroom experience. I used it twice and it obviously was not checked on regularly. There was no toilet paper in several stalls, and it was just a general mess. The place wasn't overly busy so I couldn't imagine what it would be like on a crazy busy night if staff couldn't even keep up with it then. Overall, it was an alright experience but I think there are better places to have a night out bowling with a date or friends. read more

Let me start this off by saying: I'm and AVID Yelp user, but this might be my FIRST time writing a review. Hopefully that statement gives perspective to my reasoning for writing this. Honestly, if I was with a group of friends, on a group date, or any other scenario involving multiple people... this review would be different. However, here is my scenario: it's my birthday and my fiancée wants to take me bowling for an early start to the fun night. We waited 40 minutes for this lane to open up and we order our first beer once we get our shoes on. 30 minutes goes by and we have bowled 1.5 games (coming up on our 2 game suggestion they started us with). We just ordered our second drink and I say, "babe, let's grab at least 2 more games... we are flying through these frames." When we approach the counter, we are told we can only bowl 1 more game due to their 3-game limit. Please note the policy on the desk says "3 games OR two hour limit", we were not even close to two hours. We wouldn't even have been there for two hours, we just wanted to bowl two more games. This makes absolute zero sense to me. The family next to us (with 3 kids using bowling racks and bumpers) have failed to finish 7 frames on their first game. We had literally been there 35 minutes and had 1 drink, but would not make an exception for my Fiancée and I. After all was said and done, we had paid $75+ for parking, 2 games of bowling + shoes, and drinks. As a person who loves to bowl and recently moved to LoDo, I will never return here. I will gladly drive an extra 10-15 minutes outside the city to avoid this business. read more

I was here last Friday with a few of my girls and had an awesome experience! The moment I walked in I felt a slight Harry Potter theme with the tables, candles, and bookshelves but what was even better was as I was explaining this to our waiter, his name happens to be Harry. I was shocked he delivered exceptional service being the only person serving in our section and it is also a plus to have some eye candy to take care of us. Overall the food was typical, service was cute, and the atmosphere is what was actually described as "steam punk". Add an arcade and bowling section and you'll have a great time no matter who you go with. One thing I have to point out is the whole dining area is open seating but be on the look out for reserved signs, we had to move a couple times because we simply did not see the signs in such a dim lit area. Also doubles are really cheap so go for the good stuff! read more
