My friend had a birthday party at the Strike Bowling Bar recently, which was pretty cool. I love a…read morebit of the old ten pin, and I am also fond of a beer from time to time, so the idea of having a beer whilst bowling was a strike in my eyes. We had beers and played pool downstairs before heading up to the alley and knocking down those pins, some better than others. What I need to do in order to improve my game is work on not turning my wrist when I release the ball, I had a bit of trouble there, and my friends didn't make it any better, but I reminded them, some of us may be in the gutter, but at least we're looking for the spares. Strike bowling is the perfect place to meet up with friends if you're all keen on throwing large heavy balls down thin wooded aisles to hit a bunch of white pins. If that sounds like you, then this is the place for that. But what it also offers, apart from group packages and functions, is downstairs beside the bar they have a laser tag arena. A simple game where you put on electronic vests and back packs and run around shooting each other through a dark and moody maze in some kind of, as the introduction video states, post apocalyptic world torn apart. Between shooting friends with lasers, bowling gutter balls and drinking beer, Strike Bowling Bar offers a great and different night out.

This was the first strike bowling in Sydney, and what an impact it has made. Combining bowling with…read morea bar is such an awesome idea, I don't know why someone didn't think of it earlier? It has really brought bowling back as a night out. I first went here for a work Christmas party and it was so much fun. I've also been for a few drinks and a burger and some bowling, as well as with a private party. The best part about it is that it's not just bowling, the entry level is a bar with pool tables and arcade games and a dance floor. Upstairs is the bowling, and there is a bar at the end of the lanes, where you can also order food. There's also laser skirmish, which I am yet to try (it's booked in for a friend's birthday next month). As well as karaoke rooms (also yet to try and not likely to happen). After 4pm it costs $16/game, or $24 for two. On a Saturday night this goes up to $18/game or $28 for two. Its cheaper during the day before 4pm ($14/24) and for kids during school holidays ($8) There's also a bowl and blast combo, with 1 game of bowling and 1 game of skirmish for $20.

Funky little bowling alley with 50's themed decor including an Elvis Presley statue! Came with a…read moreScoopon voucher that was $5 a game which is an absolute STEAL in Sydney. The weekend prices aren't too bad tho - they have $25 all you can bowl from 9:00PM to 1AM, which is pretty good and its disco lights to boot! Friendly service and decent lanes.

What do you do when you've got nothing to do?…read more You go bowling of course! Me and a friend were looking for something to do on a friday night. My mate suggested to go bowling. I personally hadn't been bowling in a looooong time. Maybe 5 or so years. So I thought, "why not!" As you enter, the foyer floor looks like a bowling lane. Nice touch guys. Up the stairs and suddenly you're in the 60's. A big red Cadillac, And old school decor. The place was nice and clean with an awesome music selection. The most amazing thing was the price. $25 for 2 hours of unlimited bowling after 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays! Between two people that worked out to 5 games (with a good 20 minutes spare) and two really sore arms the next day. Also, late night bowling every other night is only $20 for 2 hours! Incredible! We had a great time, so we went back the next night and did it all again. I can't lift my arm. I typed this with my nose. You're welcome.

Firstly just let me say I get it people come here to bowl not to eat. But still you'd think they…read morewould produce amazing food as well would be a win win right? The 3 stars is basically just for the place itself. It's a great place to meet for bowling or laser tag and at night it's packed and they have music and flashing lanes with tv screens it's fun and I would definitely recommend comming here but book in advance it gets crazy busy especially on a Saturday night ! Ok as for the food I ordered the chicken panini sounds great right ! I don't know what they think a panini is but this wasn't it!This wasn't even close to it! This was a cold sandwhich !!! It was cold chicken on a roll.. Was so bizarre.. So pretty much just a chicken sandwhich for $20!! Insane! Didn't even come with anything! And than the chips; "beer battered"if your a fan than great... So I ordered a Hamburger .. I know right I was like this has to get better for me! So another $18 later out comes this burger with again a COLD bun and the cheese wasn't even melted so cold cheese and the meat ugh... Let's just say the burgers are better at hungry jacks! But they do give you a big serving of chips! So bowling yes! Laser tag! Totally! Food? Maybe eat elsewhere! And when you have to pay $4 for a bottle of water .. Safer to bring your own! But I will definitely be back to Bowl! Hoping the menu changes and they add some pizzas!

Upon arrival he welcomed us and got to work setting us up. He had a smile the whole time, and was so down to earth and friendly.

As we left he followed up on earlier conversation about team bowling and even threw in a few vouchers. It is not often we are that impressed with such wonderful service, but Billy made that place shine!

We were sooo close to finishing, but didn't quite make it - just one more clue to go! We all want to come back again soon and try out one of the other three rooms. It really is a brilliant idea, and a unique way to spend an evening with a small group of friends. We also decided to get food afterward. We tried different pizzas, which were all good, but we really did have to wait quite a while for each one. Suggestion: Order the food before you go in the room, asking for it to be ready when you get out of the room. No waiting time needed!

I went with a group of 6 of us in our mid-20s, but playing in the same arena with us were some younger boys. A good-sized arena, too, and you get 20 minutes to play a round. The food was pretty good, and average prices. Nice thin-crusted pizza for $13, and we also got a sampler of chips (regular, sweet potato, and wedges) for $15. That was a bit overpriced for the size, but the sweet potato fries especially were very good.
