Customer Reviews

SO MUCH FUN! we recently went to Lucky Strike Beverly Hills. We had a blast. The location is brand new- beautiful decor and a huge space. The food and beer were all reasonably priced. We got to meet the manager Julia, who was lovely. Our waiter, Cristian was great and super attentive. The nachos are HUGE (definitely can feed 4). You can make a reservation online but it will cost you more than if you walk in. They can tell you each day what the per game cost is. Can't wait to go back!!

Really fun bowling ally! We popped in on a Saturday night and although we weren't able to get lanes because of the long waiting list we had a blast at the bar and arcade. Highly recommend getting reservations for bowling and it looks like they are the perfect set up for big parties as there were a few private parties going on with food and drink. Great location! Will be back for sure.

Had a great experience at Lucky Strike Beverly Hills! I have been to another Lucky Strike in Boston, but this one is way better. Everything is new, modern and clean, the service is top tier and the pricing is more than fair! While I didn't love my chicken bao bun, the fries and other food were great. I especially loved having the ability to order and pay right from the lane. The arcade was fun as well! I will for sure be back often to make use of the unlimited bowling deals!

Love this place! The staff was helpful overall especially the people who fixed the machine when it was down and the ones who gave prizes when you redeem tickets. Coming back soon!

Great food and time with the family! Celebrated my godsons 9th grade grad !! Be ready to spend though for the food if you have a large group . But everything was good ????

Truly awful. If you're going here to play arcade games, stay far away. Honestly, it isn't even worth it for the bowling. I went on a Wednesday night, and every single arcade game we went to was broken. Quik Drop is completely broken to the point that it is unwinnable, Need For Speed literally restarted in the middle of a game after I had already paid, and the basketball hoop game took our money and wouldn't start. All of that could maybe be forgiven if the staff cared even a slight bit. I told them about

Do not come here if you are even halfway serious about bowling. The lanes are absolutely atrocious. I think they are made out of some weird plastic material and you get zero realistic action on the ball. The worst lanes I've ever bowled on in my life by a long ways. The owners of this place should be ashamed of themselves. It is a disgrace to the sport.

It's a great looking location and everyone was super friendly. The food was really good and the portions were great. However the reason I am giving this 3 stars is because the bowling, the main reason you would come, feels like a carnival game. The floor is short and if you stand behind the back line your heels are replicated on the border of the floor where the wood and other flooring meet, making it very awkward to start. Then after you bowl you realize something is up with the pins?. THEY ARE ON STRINGS!

I came to Lucky Strike Beverly Hills to celebrate my birthday, and it was honestly such a disappointing experience. From the start, the service was terrible. Our first server never even came by to offer water or take our order ? we literally had to go find someone ourselves just to get things started. When the food and drinks finally arrived, the order was wrong and we were overcharged. On top of that, they held onto our IDs just to give us drinks and only returned them when we gave the (gold pineapple) cu

lol. I just like colorful things. My eyes were attracted to the view that I saw through window. Then I decided to visit here. It was pretty good for some fun with friends, or family. Lucky Strike Beverly Hills, offers a modern and upscale twist on the traditional bowling experience. The venue features sleek, high-tech bowling lanes equipped with advanced scoring systems, plush seating, and ambient lighting that enhances the overall atmosphere. Beyond bowling, guests can enjoy a diverse selection of arcade

I will never come back here. I bought two bottles of champagne then they accused me of bringing my own bottles. What in the world? I asked if it's allowed to BYOB since it's such an outrageous question. The manager Jess answered no it's not allowed that's why I'm asking. I'm so confused about how they were even allowed to serve bottles to a lane if they don't see a ticket to send a bottle to a bowling lane? We spent thousands here. What is going on here? I'll never come back. Get better management and serve

THIS PLACE IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!! After paying for 4 games and a huge bar tab, the manager, Jess accused us of not paying and started a scene for no reason. We paid fully for everything and it showed in their system that we paid. She has no idea how to run this place. Get a new manager. A horrible way to treat customers. At a bowling alley! We would never come back to this place.

Could you fix the Pump machine? When getting the long note to hit, the pad doesn't react to it, and end up missing all the long notes. Which means the machine is defected. Please fix, I go here for the arcade! Everyone is so welcoming and sweet, I love it.

I hosted my husbands birthday last Saturday and had a fantastic time! I booked the party for 9 people but one person canceled last minute and they were very accommodating. For two hours of bowling + unlimited drink package for two lanes it was $90 per person (before tax/tip) which felt perfectly reasonable for the amount of fun we had. They played awesome music. The facilities were clean and modern. The lanes lets you customize even which players use bumpers vs which don't which was great for our varying

BEST TIME coming here with brother, nephews and niece. All kinds of fun games and delicious food with everyone having a great time bowling, including us. Joshua and the staff were helpful to make sure we had a great time, thank you! Hope to be back having fun sometime soon and I'll remember to make reservations online.

I've recently thrown a party for my son, and I had the best experience! Childrens birthday parties can be so stressful, but the staff at Lucky Strike has changed that experience for me! From beginning to end, they were so attentive , professional , kind and just made our overall experience one for the record books. I would highly recommend to all!

Lucky Strike in Beverly Hills has become our little date night haven! My partner and I just wrapped up our third visit, and it's safe to say we're hooked. This isn't your average bowling alley ? Lucky Strike elevates the experience with a cool, sophisticated vibe, delicious food, and a great selection of drinks. We went on a weeknight this time, which was a smart move. We've been on weekend nights before, and while the energy is fun and lively, it can get pretty packed. For someone like me, who's still

My experience was wonderful this Saturday! I have been to a couple of bowling alleys like the average person. What made the experience special at this one was the staff. Everyone was super friendly especially Michael, him and the staff went above to make me and my family feel welcomed. Will be coming back with my family and will recommend to my friends!

Great service, great food, and great bowling and reasonable prices. We will definitely come back for more bowling!

Very modern bowling alley. The player interface is really nice and easy to use. I would definitely go back !

Service- great People- great Food - just fine Bowling bowling bowling- I couldn't really deal with the strings situation. No matter how you bowl the strings were various and would create patterns that your bowling could not control. Very fun though seeing a strong pull a pin across a lane that was standing up , or a pin setting a pin up by itself after the pin has already been knocked down. Outside that everything was fine, but bowling which is the main thing! Kind of made the evening not as fun.

First time in and I was definitely impressed. The music was great. Service while bowling was on point. The food (nachos) we ordered was ok (chicken was bland) Atmosphere was a great vibe. Will definitely be back!

We went to Lucky Strike in the Beverly Center this weekend for a friend's birthday. Definitately won't ever go again due to distance we live from it and all the issues we experienced while we were there. The front desk employees were very nice when we first walked in. They let us know where our party was located and got our shoes very easily. We started with bowling ($43 per person for 2 hours) and got some food. We used the kiosk to order our food, which was all fairly overpriced for what you got, and th

Super fun but Extremely OVERPRICED. Tons and tons of spoiled bratty children screaming and throwing fits with parents who have no clue how to parent! The people with the brats are the entitled, self important kinds! Once you down a drink, the kids seems to dissipate into thin air and things become more fun. They have an elaborate bar with great attentive service, top shelf alcohol! The drinks were top notch and the whole vibe was fun for what bowling usually is. We had a great time despite hearing tons o

Pretty surprised how big the location is. The bar is nicely done and plenty of space. As well ton of options to play regular games. Bowling was fun and it was for the most part clean. The food was mediocre

I livestream all the newest businesses in LA to show them off to locals and tourists. Walked in on Monday night at 6:30pm with 43,000 people watching live (mostly locals). The manager turned us away and said we needed permission to film. Horrible business policy in 2025 when everybody is filming everything. This location just lost out on hundreds of thousands of dollars.

We live in the area, and walked up to the Lucky Strike to check it out. Beautiful space! Clean, lively and looks like a fun spot for bowling or playing arcade games. Their prize room is amazing! We stayed to eat, and had the nachos. They were just what we needed. Very filling and delicious! We met Jules, one of the managers, when we complimented Kai , the employee we met at the reception desk. Kai was so friendly and welcoming. His energy was infectious and I wished we had time to bowl!! Jules was also upbe

Frustrating Booking Process & Poor Customer Service I tried to book a lane at Lucky Strike, but the process was incredibly frustrating. You can't make a reservation over the phone, and getting in touch with the sales team is nearly impossible?they take days to respond. For a $200 price tag, I expected much better service. Disappointing experience overall.

Lovely Place Utopia of Fun Cheese so good Ketchup was good Yummy food Stay for hours of fun Think of great memories to be had Return again and again Ice Cream on our dessert Keep playing for hours of fun Everything is good!

I just wish I could leave zero stars! This place is horrible from the beginning to the end. The doorman/bouncer has an attitude like he's working in a private dance club in Vegas or something. Super rude, unprofessional and horrible service stay away.!

I was part of a birthday celebration for twin boys turning 8 and it was a blast! We arrived a bit early and Jupiter made sure we had the best service / pre-party!

I live walking distance and would love to come but the arbitrary prices are pretty disgusting. 2hrs of bowling for 2 people on a Friday at 6pm for $140 each?! Not ok. We plan to eat there as well and that doesn't include anything. Tried calling to speak someone and was on hold forever. Awful. Then I was told they would transfer me to sales because they didn't understand that pricing at the front desk. They transferred me somehow to College Park, Maryland?!

The waiters weren't very responsive and not helpful. It took an entire two games for me to get my ($11?!) milkshake I ordered, every time I asked it was always, ?They're making it in the back right now,? and by the time I got it we were leaving. Would not recommend.

Dude no one can't talk bad about this place, everyone is so sweet, kind, and GAMES with prizes! It just need a pinball machine. Lol love it here.

Ended up here on the first night they opened and had a great time. Food was great, service was great, and the place was overall good vibes. Only thing I didn't care for is the fact they didn't play one Kendrick Lamar song.(lol) DJ was awesome though, and played lots of other great music.

Really awesome brand new Lucky Strikes (I think they opened a week ago)? huge facility - really well thought out. Couple of minor hiccups, but forgivable. Bowling was 10/10.. NO entrance on Beverly ? Entrance is street level, but inside of the parking lot ? better signage please!

the guy at the reception told me the wrong prices. I paid $174 for 2 hours of bowling on Monday morning, for two people, a glass of beer and a bag of fries with wings. Robbery, very expensive. ?? Waste of money

EDIT: Since i?ve posted this, there have been fake reviews put up in favor of the horrible manager. Not to mention it cost over 150$ for two people to bowl, food and games DO NOT COME HERE unless you want your kids to be disrespected by the female manager! Had an awful experience with the female manager today and she should honestly be fired for how she treated my kid. He was trying to ask her a question and she didn't give him any eye contact and cut him off mid-sentence not letting him finish. Absolutely

Great place for games and bowling. Food/drinks are reasonably priced too. Play the basketball connect 4, so much fun!

First want to say thank you to the manager, Juliet, I believe was her name. She was amazing and very helpful. My family and I had a blast, definitely will be coming back soon.

Decent place, what you'd expect. Was disappointed they use string pins and not a proper pinsetter, causes random pins to fall over when you didn't hit them. Otherwise fun.

Great food Really good prices A new beautiful location

Our waiter was very sweet but the host was rude ?? and it was embarrassing. Also this one is mainly for children vs the one in Hollywood for adults. Definitely different vibe

I saw justin bieber and haley bieber here Twas Lit they were so cute

This place is absolutely amazing it is open (soft opening) they haven't had their grand opening yet but the lay out is amazing the bar looks like something you'd see in vegas the arcade area is nice everything brand new and it just feels crazy standing in there knowing it used to be Macy men?s land this is definitely gonna be a hot spot

Over $100 for 1 child bowling for few hours is just ridiculous.

Extremely overpriced and rude staff. You can buy the prizes online for the price of one play. I suggest you go spend your money elsewhere.

Ripoff. I went and its Insanely overpriced just for bowling. They also don't answer the phone. Over $200 on a THURSDAY for 1.5 hours for 4 people. That's insane. For the hell of it I just checked a Saturday night and its almost $300.

Most machines are worthless. Basketball and some basics but the rest are fillers. They don't even a have a pinball machine!!! What kind of arcade is this with no pinball machine???!!! For that, two stars

Subpar service and food. Pizza was BAD. Overpriced. Do not come here. Wanted to bowl but the food/ service changed my mind.

You immediately feel that the workers here are miserable. The lanes are crammed together with no room. Overrun with bratty kids.

Food 10/10 reasonably priced Drinks are great Lanes are modern, hip and trendy. Very enjoyable experience Highly recommend

Great space and fun arcade! Will be heading back there again!

A gorgeous location with excellent food and good service. You'll have a blast!!!! Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
