Football season too so we wanted some place cool go watch the game with a fun activity and food--boom, Lucky Strike. Though they had a bowling special since it was a Sunday night of unlimited bowling after 7pm, we opted out as we were tired. Instead, we bought reloadable game cards to play on the machines. They have classic arcade games such as ski-ball, air hockey, and even pinball machines. Then there are some newer ones as well. I really liked the giant connect four and the pink panther game. Unfortunately a few games we played didn't work and I had to run around and find a staff member so they could fix my credits. After playing the games we headed over to the bar to catch some of the game and eat. They had booths all around the bar with QR codes on the table so you can order/pay from your phone and they bring it to you. There were TVs and projectors as well surrounding. Though the staff was nice the food took a long to go be prepared, and the place was empty during the snow storm. We ordered the appetizer sampler which was pretty good, but we didn't care for the chicken. I did like the pretzels and mozzarella sticks. Some other fun stuff they had included pool tables, shuffleboard, and a photo booth you could use by swiping your game card. Plus they have a prize room to redeem your tickets but it was closed.... Sadly it was quiet in there and I think had it been packed it would be more fun and lively. Overall it wasn't perfectly functioning with broken games and long waits for the food, but, we still had fun and we'd come back for bowling.

There's a lot I could say here but…read more.. I made a reservation at Lucky Strike days in advance because we were excited. Most of us hadn't bowled in years (or ever), and this was supposed to be a farewell outing for a friend. We left wondering, did that really just happen? It took forever to even be acknowledged. We ordered drinks, a pizza, and a sampler. The server suggested a pitcher deal (cool, thanks) only for the soda to come out tasting like straight carbonation with no flavor. Turns out the machine was broken. Fine. We asked for water, somehow that was a problem too. Our sampler? Never came. When we asked about it, the server really said "who did you order that with?" and then told us it wasn't her, while I'm sitting there knowing we ordered it with her. Instead of owning it, she argued. Wild. They "fixed" the soda machine and brought us flat soda. At that point, just take it away. We ordered lemonades instead which took 20 minutes and she (the manager) forgot one, then caught an attitude when we said something. When the sampler finally came, the chicken was literally falling apart and touched the table when they put it down. We ate the germs. The manager kindly told us she removed the pitcher from the bill and added the lemonades. That however, doesn't make up for bad food, worse service, and a completely ruined experience. We paid to be annoyed the entire time. I wouldn't come back.

They brought over extra sauce, were attentive and kind, and able to answer many questions. The food was also very very good. 5 stars easily. I'm surprised I haven't been here before! Will be back

It was really an amazing evening. We spent so much time there. We didn't want to leave even though we had a concert to go to. Highly recommend, especially if you're a family looking for something to do or some great food before a game or event at the Garden

Parking will be a nightmare unless you have a garage space. This place is packed, even on a wednesday evening when we went. There are lots of pool tables that appear to be well maintained.

All of the food was fresh and well cooked, but they were very heavy on seasoning (salt!). Everything was too salty to really enjoy. Depending on which pool table you get, you may or may not have enough counter space to even place your food. Server was friendly. Seems like a great place for after work hang out or to bring your date or to just chill with friends.
