    Arcade
    Evelynn K.

    Lucky Strike in Ladera Ranch is a clean, modern and fun vibe for date night, parties, family night or weekend hangs with friends. It has something for everyone, with glow lanes, arcade games and a cool bar and friendly staff.

    Great bowling!

    We had a mixed experience with Lucky Strike, but I want to be clear that the on-site staff and manager truly saved the day. Scheduling was honestly quite confusing. We were required to pre-pay online for two lanes, which was already fairly expensive. A couple of days after making the reservation, we realized the family we were planning to go with might not be able to make it, so we called about four days in advance just to clarify the cancellation policy. Unfortunately, the person we spoke with on the phone was rude and unhelpful, and bluntly told us there were no cancellations and we were out of luck if we didn't show up, even though we were calling well ahead of time. Luckily, the other family was able to make it after all. However, when we arrived, we were then told they didn't have lanes available for us, which added to the frustration and confusion, especially after being told earlier that nothing could be changed. That said, the employees and manager at the Aliso Viejo location were wonderful. They acknowledged the confusion, were kind and professional, and truly went out of their way to make things right. They gave the kids complimentary game passes while we waited, and once our lanes were ready, we had a great time bowling. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was fun, and the facility was clean and well-run. This is a 4-star review is because of the poor phone experience and confusing scheduling process. Every single person we interacted with in person was fantastic, and I really appreciate how the staff handled the situation and turned things around for us.

    Came here for a guys night of some bowling. We had fun. I was surprised that on a Friday night they were not more packed. The place is loud and full of kids. But given this is Ladera Ranch, I'm not surprised. Seems like a great place for a kid's party. We ordered some drinks and some nachos to enjoy while we bowled. They were good. The DJ played some great music (lots of 80s and 90s with some good remixes). Overall good experience.

    The energy here is already electric -- glowing arrows would turn it into a next-level, Instagram-worthy experience."

    Hey Lucky Strike Team! I had a blast at your lanes recently--but I had an idea that could make the experience even more fun and player-friendly... Make the arrows on the lanes glow! Those aiming guides are such a game-changer for both beginners and pros, but in low-light settings, they can be hard to see. Imagine them lit up with a subtle neon glow--super sleek, totally on brand with Lucky Strike's vibe, and an easy way to help players line up that perfect shot. Not only would it make bowling easier, it would also add to the immersive, high-energy atmosphere you're known for. Bonus: glowing arrows = Instagram-worthy lanes. Just a thought from a fan who loves rolling strikes at your place! #LuckyStrike #BowlingGlowUp #NeonArrows

    This place is so awesome for adults and kids. Very clean inside. Very friendly staff. Big arcade when you walk in. Very good food. I was very surprised at how good it was for a bowling alley. They also have a bar. All the equipment worked well. We will be going back here a lot.

    Wanted to update my last review. The service here has really improved. The managers have definitely focused more on the customer experience, wait times aren't as long and things seem more organized. The bartenders are amazing and very friendly. They have music on the weekends sometimes and they really are doing a great job. Fun to hang out, grab some food and the bowling lanes are kept up nicely. The arcade is also great for kids and adults.

    I love this place very much because bowling and playing arcade games here are super fun and enjoyable. I ordered a pepperoni pizza today, and it was fresh, savory, crispy flavorful and delicious. Also I had a wonderful time.

    Promotion on their website that they pretended didnt exist
    Erik H.

    Went in this past Saturday June 28th to watch the UFC fight and take advantage of a beer deal they had on their website (see pic). $5 off Bud light pitchers is what me and my buddies were interested in specifically. When we get to the counter, the bartender tells us they dont have Bud light on tap. I tell him about the promotion and he tells me that " they are a luxury location" and dont honor that deal. It was pretty funny to watch his face as I showed him the web page with the promotion and how it said "Lucky Strike Ladera Ranch" at the top. So he turns around to talk to his manager and then comes back to tell us that we are out of luck basically and that they aren't going to honor their own promotion. The whole time his manager is drilling holes onto us with his eyeballs, probably recognizing us from a previous time when we found out they DIDNT HAVE PITCHERS. To their credit they at least fixed that. So we ended up going to The Ranch in the same parking lot and had an AWESOME time. This place is horribly managed. The fact the bartender told me they are a "luxury" location while being too cheap to honor their own promotion is a level of pathetic that is genuinely hilarious. They dont even have regulation sized lanes for bowling! This second-rate Dave and Busters ripoff has another 18 months left, tops. Way to chase off your customers

    This lucky strike is spacious, nice, clean, and well run. We came here and had excellent service from the bar, to the bowling, to the arcade floor. This place is well run and well kept.

    This place is so much fun! Took the kids here over the weekend, and boy did the whole family have fun! My husband won a giant donkey Kong from this game where you cut the string! And honestly the place is so clean! And the employees are so friendly! Will definitely come back!

    Carol M.

    From the start, making reservations with Gabby, her professionalism was great to the actual day of the event was perfect. This was our second time doing this & both kids & adults had a great time! Thank you for all your hard work!

    Need a happy hour if they want to capture the locals during the afternoon. Low hanging fruit but drink prices way too high.

    Pretty chill place to bowl, play pool, or watch sports!…read more We did the $40 for a group of 4 deal. Came with shoe rentals and 2 hours of bowling (Mon - Thurs). There are a bunch of pool tables and a big bar area with TVs to watch games, drink, and eat! The dining/bar area was actually super crowded for the World Cup! You can also order food and drinks to your lane. We ordered the nachos, it wasn't bad, not the best, but good finger food (Tasted like a Dave and Busters nachos). Also ordered a tall beer for $12! Drink prices are around $10-18 depending if you are getting a cocktail or a beer. I would definitely enjoy coming back!

The space is clean, well-kept, and has a fun energy without feeling overwhelming. Pricing is pretty reasonable for what you get, which makes it easy to relax and actually enjoy your time without stressing about the cost. Pro tip: go in the morning if you can--when we went, it was basically empty, which made everything way more enjoyable (no waiting, no crowds, just vibes). Parking is at The Outlets at Orange, so you might have a bit of a walk depending on where you park, but it's manageable. What I loved most is that it really works for all ages--my grandma and my nephew both had a great time, which says a lot. Definitely a go-to if you're trying to plan something easy and fun for a group!

The lanes were clean, the music was good, and it actually felt like a place you can hang out for a while and not get bored The food honestly surprised me in the best way. We ordered a pepperoni pizza, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders with fries, plus extra fries with sodas and lemonade and everything came out hot and really good. It did not feel like typical bowling alley food at all What really stood out to me is that they do catering and have rooms you can rent for events. They can host up to 200 guests and have options for all kinds of parties like birthdays, anniversaries, corporate events and more. They also offer party platters with things like wings, burgers, salads and appetizers which makes it super easy if you are planning something Overall this is such a solid spot whether you are going for a casual night out or planning a full event. I would definitely come back with a group

It's perfect if you don't want to spend a ton of money just to bowl for a couple of hours. They also sell food, and if you're trying to turn up a bit, there's a small bar where you can grab a drink too. Overall, this spot is great if you just want to have a fun time without breaking the bank. Big shoutout to the staff -- 10/10 service and always greeting you with a smile. Thanks for the great experiences, Irvine Lanes!

    Been living in Upland for years and finally got a chance to try out this Bowlero location. Our…read morefriends wanted to go bowling and kindly invited us to tag along. Always plenty of parking here and the location is super easy to find. When we arrived there was a long line of people, but our friends were already checked in and we just had to get our shoes. The lane we were given was a decent size, couch on either side for each lane. I do like the surfboard tables, but they were kind of in the way and narrow with the table next to us every time we got up to bowl. Especially since the other table had pizza that was sticking out and I was nervous to knock it over every time I got up. We did unlimited games for 2 hours, that gave us enough time to get about 3 games in. I noticed plenty of balls were already in the ball return, so not sure if people go grab balls, or if they are just placed there to grab from. There were plenty of size options for the balls BUT I hate that we had to share with the lane next to us because they were eating pizza and grabbing the same balls and every time I went up the ball felt super greasy and gross. Cosmic bowling was really cool! Fun music videos and movies and other videos being shown on the screens down the lanes. I was expecting it to be darker inside though and having the black light pop out more. Inside also has a bar, food to order, arcade area, bathrooms and saw some people celebrating their birthday. They go all out with a neon sign and you're given a bowling pin that everyone signs. So that's cool to know if you plan on celebrating here. The manger was also kind and gave our friends coupons to come again and bowl two free games on their next visit so I thought that was really nice! All in all, I haven't been bowling in a minute, but it was fun to get together with friends, have a beer and just have fun!

    Not sure why my review got taken down…read more Service is terrible, bartenders and kitchen staff are very rude. They seem to have attitude on busy nights. Bowling balls are a free for all, meaning if there's none out to take... well you gotta wait until someone is done with their balls. Mind you, I had to wait 15 minutes just to get balls for my family; and the balls I did get were greasy and nasty. Women's Restroom had no toilet paper. This place used to be good, but you're better off going to the bowling alley in Pomona or Rancho. THIS PLACE SUCKS
