Customer Reviews

What can I say about Lucky Strike Mineola! I've been coming here since the Sheridan Lanes days. Recently moved to Florida and knew I had to come back to celebrate my birthday at what I consider home. Last night was exactly what I expected from the amazing staff at Lucky Strike. They truly treated my party like family and we all had an amazing time. The decorations were amazing and the vibe was top notch! From the music to the videos on the screens and the lights. Overall an amazing experience as always. Jim

I am writing to address issues regarding an event I hosted on April 26th, at Bowlero Mineola. I booked three lanes to celebrate a 48th birthday with family, opting for the Rock & Bowl package, and I added additional food prior to our arrival. The lanes were reserved from 7:30 to 9:30 PM. My package included unlimited soft drinks, cheese pizza, and chicken tenders. Below is a timeline of events that detailed why I am so upset: - **Setup**: The setup was not completed until almost 8:00 PM. - **Drinks**: We di

I really love this place. I met a wonderful man by the name of Jimmy, who is a professional bowler and owns a pro show inside the facility. He makes you feel welcome and at home. I totally recommend visiting this bowling spot. They have many things to do and drinks to try.

Today my family and I played bowling here. The place is cool, the design is modern, the lanes are excellent, the music is not too loud and modern. The atmosphere inside is comfortable, people do not disturb each other, there is no crowding. There are also slot machines, not too many, but enough. The place is clean, the service is pleasant. The prices are average. We did not try the food and drinks. This place is definitely better than other similar ones, I recommend it!

Wow what a great family experience! This bowling ally is very nice, clean, and the service was exceptional. Our bartender/waitress Patty was out of this world. She was so personable and friendly! Her demeanor really put our experience over the top. We'll definitely be back! (Natasha wasn't our direct server but she was awesome too!)

Great location for date night, with intimate areas and family and friends outing. There is so much to do, such as bowling, arcade sections, and eating areas. This location has plenty of parking and won't break your pocket. Highly recommend

This was a great experience. We had a party and had multiple guests. Our host was really accommodating and Great. She went above and beyond and checked on everyone and asked him if they needed additional drinks, etc. She even remembered the orders and handed the drinks to the people who ordered them! She was a Caucasian female with blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail with glasses. She was really cool, calm, and made some really great suggestions on drinks. I think I had about six drinks that night and e

If I could leave a no star review I would. I've never been to an establishment that has made me feel disrespected and humiliated. Aside from the server that we had at the lane who was respectful, management and bartender was rude and unprofessional. It was a group of us there last night and three of us went to the bar to purchase shots. Everyone had IDs except for one. Even though I know that most companies have a policy when it comes to ID their customers, everyone was over the age of 21. I'm damn near 40

I recently attended an event at Lucky Strike organized by my job, and it exceeded my expectations! Although I've driven past this place many times, I never felt the urge to check it out until now. The d?cor is stunning, and the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. Be sure to ask for Patty when you're there?her Green Tea shots are absolutely delicious! Tan was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic experience. I'll definitely be returning!

Definitely a really great location to host a celebration or to just simply bowl for fun. The food was what you would expect, staff was attentive. Love that they decorate your area when you have a party reservation.

So much fun!! There was a super sweet bartender named Natasha who introduced me to a really yummy rum drink called the Boarding Pass when I didn't know what to order haha. Two other staff members, Tan and Dylan, were also really helpful and cool the whole night. Good vibe overall, definitely coming back. :) appreciate the great service

We celebrated our daughter?s 10th birthday at Bolero on Jericho Turnpike. The service was outstanding. Many thanks to Tyrese (Ty) and Timothy. They were personable and extremely helpful. The evening was certainly a memorable one.

I bowl league here and there were major problems with the new string pin setters. They would malfunction and require technical assistance. This happened several times across several lanes requiring wait times of 5-10 minutes each time to resolve. There were problems with ball return also. On another note, the server Patty rounds everything up and does not give change. She didn't bring me the drinks, I went to the bar to get them. I am not talking about pennies either, this was silver money I was owed.

Amazing location with an amazing staff. From the shoes to the location and the accommodations everybody was really cool. My server and host was a young Caucasian girl with her hair pulled back into a blonde ponytail and she wore glasses. I had a great time and she really knows how to make sure you are catered to.

The staff really sets this alley apart. I've been bowling in a league here for 15 years. We just hosted an event with them and we all had a great time. Party package pricing was more than fair. Patty, Anthony, Dillon and Tan did a fantastic job and really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. The whole alley is in the process of updating lanes to string pins and it's a lot of fun. Definitely recommend.

I had a great time here bowling and watching 7 TVs and eating wings and mozz sticks and drinking beer simultaneously. The lanes were super slippy. So I had to adjust. But I didn't. I played bad. Whatever. My daughter bowled her first strike. So fun! Won enough arcade tickets to get pop rocks on the way out.

Kids were having fun playing the only lane that day. No one else there. Staff were friendly and we liked the food.

Positive Notes: Place was easy to access, clean, and looked very promising. Lots of parking in the back and when you walk in very welcoming. Staff was attentive but not overly in your face type of attentive which I liked. The bowling screen wasn't hard to understand/navigate. They have an arcade which looked clean and well taken care of. Bad Notes: Personally the floors where a little to slippery for my liking and took a little getting used to. Another thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was the price,

Great place I have been coming here for a while i enjoy the atmosphere and love the food !! So yummmmmy!

I am absolutely blown away by the exceptional customer service I received when I called in to make reservations! It's rare to experience this level of expertise, whether dining out or making a significant purchase. I haven't even visited the lanes yet, but my experience so far has already been spectacular! Thank you for providing such great service and treating myself with such respect. ----------- Actual visit review! The lanes were modern and sleek, with huge TVs showing all the sports action. The chi

1st date of this year?? This is the B.E.S.T. in Mineola?? The reservation was the best option because we walked in and our lane (133) was waiting for us, even our server???? Our server (Elise M.) was such a sweetheart and she made sure we got the best service!! The drinks were huge (22oz)?? We got the Berried Alive Lemonade (10/10??). The food......OMG!! We ordered the Classic Wings Kickin Bourbon (10/10) and the Loaded Fries with Steak (11/10)??. We're definitely coming back here again. I posted a few stor

Great night out bowling with friends. Katherine was an amazing server. She made sure to keep it coming with drinks and very friendly.

I had my son's 4th Birthday here and it was such a pleasant experience! Everyone had a great time and the food was really yummy! I will definitely be back.

I normally go to the bowlero on northern boulevard in queens but the service at the in Mineola is 100% better. They are so attentive, humble and welcoming!!! Highly recommend it.

So, my friends and I came here on Friday, May 23rd, to celebrate my birthday. Our reservation was for 8 pm but we were late and didn't arrive till around 8:30ish, which is bad on my part. For my party, I did the kingpin package, which includes a premium bar. When the server approached us, he told us that we had to check our IDs, which wasn't a problem since we all had our IDs on us. As the server was looking at our IDs, he goes "your IDs are supposed to be horizontal and not vertical." We all looked at each

We always come to this location and have lots of fun. This place has so much things to do, there's something for everyone any age. Today we celebrated my dad?s birthday and Kat was so kind and attentive. We were well catered to and can't wait to come back!

Natasha, Tan and Dylan are amazing. They made my experience so wonderful. I will be coming back again soon. They are some of the best staff you have. :)

Management was very helpful. Servers weren't the greatest but can't penalize the spot for some people. The attention from them could be better. Food is average is a mostly for a quick bite and fast stuff. The arcades are great, and there are lots of options and varieties of games. Priced super fair. Super recommended for family,birthdays, and kids events.

A pretty large group of friends and I made a last minute decision to go to Bowlero, and it was one of the best bowling experiences I've had in a long time. It was pretty crowded there, but Dylan (I believe one of the mangers there?) was super accommodating, attentive and a pleasure to be around. Dan the bartender was great behind the bar and able to handle our large group. Thanks Dylan, Dan and Bowlero for an awesome time with no drama!

On a Sunday lots of birthday party chaos but they did a good job. The kids all had fun, the food was good and that warm chocolate cookie cake is delicious. They did run out of some shoe sizes for the kids, probably because most lanes were parties. For a bowling alley it is also pretty clean.

Terrific establishment in all aspects. Great deals, staff, lanes, cleanliness, atmosphere, food and drinks. I could not recommend more highly. I live 30+min away in Brooklyn and still go there.

Tyrese was super helpful and polite at check in, assisting us with the lane, and making sure a requested game was shown on the screens. Anthony was our terrific server for food and bevs. Really fun night at a great bowling location. See you gents again ??

A fantastic spot for a fun night out! The lanes are well-maintained, the atmosphere is lively, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Great selection of food and drinks, plus the arcade adds extra entertainment. Perfect for families, friends, or even date night. Highly recommend! ???

There was an issue with our lane which caused the pins not to reset so we couldn't start our game. The lovely Dylan D fixed it straight away and compensated us. I'm forever grateful and thankful for the great customer service!! Pepperoni pizza was really decent!

The staff and environment is always great. Ty and his team always do their best to take care of me on a weekly basis! For that I'm grateful, I would never go anywhere else. Thank you Bowlero for your hospitality and service! Highly recommended!!!

I had a great time! Anthony was a great bartender. 10 people was about $150 for one game, spent another $200 on food, everyone bought alcohol individually.

Unfortunately this establishment isn't for me. Upon ordering drinks on my way to the bar the server stop me and said under my contract the drinks are $9 . So we ordered half way through they came back stating they made a mistake with pricing. I said no worries moving forward we will pay the price it is. He spoke to 2 mangers and said unfortunately they have to charge full price. I spoke to my friends and we agreed to have drinks taken back after we started drinking. They rather take the drinks and lose th

We went to this bowling alley a couple of times. Last time was on a day when the kids were off from school. When we got to the front desk, there was nobody there. After waiting for a while a woman showed up and helped us get our shoes. We played two games although I wish we stopped after the first. We ordered some snacks and that took a long time to arrive. I wasn't sure why there were delays there, I guess they didn't anticipate people going there.

Visited Lucky strike today and used my season pass for the first time. Received EXCELLENT service from Jenny, Janet and Rob. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Clean facility. Will be back here soon.

Always a fun time and if by chance something happens the staff are always willing to help. I had a wonderful experience just recently. Jennie went above and beyond with Dylan to make sure my event went as planned and it turned out very successful. My helper Anthony, was courteous and attentive as well as funny. I will definitely be back, and I recommend parties as well as gatherings!

No sense of urgency whatsoever, we waited 50 mins for food just for them to not come out with it. It was my friends birthday and she had a bad time, there were attitude from some staffs, and a bartender that smirked about the situation the whole time, as we proceeded to ask for the manager that it self took about 30 mins. Overall bad experience and performance from the team and I will never come back again.

We choose Bolero for our sons 13th birthday. The service was great . Staff are very friendly . I love this bowling alley because it's very clean . I think we found our new Friday night hang with our family of 8. I would highly recommend ?? this place. The food was pretty good also .

My family and friends had an amazing evening celebrating my son's 15th birthday. From our booking assistant Brittany to our Spectacular server Destiny this day couldn't be better. The very friendly Male manager (forget name) took care of our party professionally. Place was ready, clean and all parties were very attentive. We all cannot wait to visit again!

I've been here a few times and have had some really great service. But this past weekend was horrible and I'm so frustrated by it. We asked staff several times to please clean up the stack of used plates that were on our table when we got there (I'm not exaggerating when I say there were more than 10 platters, mini cast iron skillets and plates piled on top of each other). They didn't clean it out between new groups and it was filthy. There was no space on the table to even put your phone down and they kept

Very clean and the staff were very attentive and professional. It has a great arcade. Food was bar type but very good. They decorate your bowling section if you make a reservation for a birthday party. Great time, great service.

What a fun time! This is our 2nd time in a week ? my 8-yo twins love it. The staff is courteous. The facility is clean. And the food is good! I love the music, too!!

Great event at this location. Team was really friendly and the service was great. Nat and Tan are awesome, ask for them when you visit.

We love coming there, the kids have a blast. Can't wait for the arcade to reopen. The place was super clean and everyone appeared to be following covid guidelines. I even saw an employee ask a patron to please keep her mask on.

This is the main core spot for Bowlero or AMF as it used to be called. The staff here is amazingly friendly. They are on point with all your expenditures when it comes to having a fun night right!? Dylan is a very great responsible manager. And.. Dan the bartender always keeping everyone in check with verifying ages when it comes to drinking 21+. I've been coming here since 2013. Not a day goes by where I don't have fun when I come here. This is where the fun begins and ends everytime. You can't go wrong wh

This is my 'home' bowling alley and I love going here. Go often with my kids to bowl and play in the arcade. The staff is always friendly, helpful and keeps the place in great shape

Used to go here all the time. Almost every week with friends. They recently decided to become cheap and replaced the pin spotters with strings attached to the pins. The strings are cheap and the pins move completely different now. They just lost my business and the business of all my friends who went there. I'll just go to AMF bowling in Garden City. Congratulations, I hope the penny-pinching pays off?? Do they deserve 1 star? Probably not but the strings are so dumb I can't give anything higher. So cheap.

You will not believe what happened at this venue. So we were a party of 8 all adults over 40 years of age. Having a fun time bowling. About frame 4 or 5 staff comes over to advise they would be moving us to 2 other lanes because another party came in.. we were like , okay NP. 1st red flag. We kept bowling. Now as we were ordering food , we mention we will order drinks at the bar individually, the "waitress" says oh no you should order the drinks with your order because it will only be 9.99. Ok NP, we all

Booked a kids party, hostess was very attentive through the whole party, and manager checked in multiple times too. Kids has a lot of fun bowling & enjoyed the food & arcade. Was a nice touch that they also set up the name blocks on the food area. Would go there again.

Had a great time, the staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The manager Dylan checked in and asked if there was anything he could help us with while we were bowling which I thought was a nice touch. Would come here with friends or family again.

Had a great time. Samantha and Angie were manager and hostess for roughly 40 people. Everything entered smoothly and the food was delicious. Pizza, pretzels, sliders sausage & peppers as well as Chicken parm and desert. The music kept us singing and dancing when we weren't bowling. Strongly suggest booking your next company function. Did not get the bartenders name but they did a great job also.

We had a blast here for a double date night. If you go on a Sunday it's not super crowded. To order food or drinks you can use the QR scan code on the table at your lane. Food arrived pretty fast and hot. If you need anything after you've ordered head to the bar. Service once the food as been dropped is non existent. There's a small arcade set up at the entrance, which was busy and a cool spot for kids to hang out while parents have a drink from the bar. Good vibes all around.

Threw our daughter 2nd birthday here last Saturday and it was amazing! Thanks to Liam and Glendy! (I think her name was, sorry if I misspelled it!) but they were great! Down to getting us anything we wanted and their time with adding more food and the decor! We got there an hour early because I didn't know what to expect and Liam was just like we got this come back in 30. We came back and all I had to do was put out our goodie bags and some bluey decor/balloons. Food was good, cookie cake was amazing! Will

The place it's self was great. Took my kids and there friends here. They have arcade so kids were busy for half the day with lots of fun. We got food but the pizza ?? looked nasty so kids got ordered fries and tacos to be on the safe side. I couldn't let food go to waste and had 3 slices out the pie. ENDED UP WITH FOOD POISONING!!! the next 3 days in hell. So not sure how I feel about the place.

Had an amazing time !! The staff were so lovely! I will definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a fun time with their family.

Always a great experience at Bowlero Mineola. The staff is always welcoming, friendly and helpful especially Seth, Dylan and Tyrece. Shout out to Denis as well for always making sure that things are running smoothly.

Had an amazing time here having drinks and bowling with my friends! The staff is simply fantastic, especially the manager Dylan. He is very personable and made us feel welcome!

I recommend this place to have a date with family and friends, no matter the ages there is fun for everyone. In our case we bowled in two teams and we had a lot of fun

Tan and Nat were amazing, very nice and great service, thanks for everything, we had 25 people for a corporate event and everyone had a great time

we had the best time here at Bowlero. excellent service ... the place was clean and very tidy and the employees were so friendly and helpful .... Will definitely recommend it for any fun snd exciting event ... awesome

We celebrated my son's 16th birthday. We had a great time. Everyone one had so much fun. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a top notch bowling alley with lots to do. Staff was very pleasant and professional.

Very kid friendly but you could be any age and have a great time! Reasonable food prices, beer and drinks. Would definitely come back.

Have to give 5 stars! Tan was super cool and nice!! Her customer service was great, she was super attentive which made the day go by with no worries, the best time ever!!

I attended a bowling party here this evening. I've been to numerous bowling parties over the years and never been as impressed as I was here today. They decorated the space so very nice, the place is really huge, the arcade was great for the kids and the eating and bar areas were so great. They alleys were so spacious even though there were alot of people, people were not crammed on top of one another which I always experience at other alleys, the food and service was absolutle AMAZING! The food came out so

Second time here. SO much fun. Clean facility. Friendly service. Fun for the whole family. Little pricey but was lucky to run across a special through Group On. Good food and good drinks.

Owner said that google review for free game. But when we had to pay they said it was a review PER person per game and took 3$ lol. Also there were food and people in the lane they had assigned to us. It was never cleaned up

Dylan?s a great manager always help to my kids and I! Since we need a wheelchair ramp Dylan is always very accommodating and mindful

Attend two birthday parties and also went in for a open bowling session. Place is very nice and the service is very good.

Great place for a group or party! We booked kind of last minute and they went above and beyond to squeeze in our birthday party. The kids had a blast! Although they got busy that day, they did a good job staying on top of our needs. Our server and manager checked on us a few times! I would definitely go back again.

This has to be the prettiest bowling alley I've ever bowled in. The ambiance is great and really makes the bowling experience so fun, even fancy! Just loved what they did with the place! The lanes are perfect and they have different themes/animations on your game screen which is a nice bonus. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food they serve here is also the BEST food I've ever been served at an alley too. We got the loaded nachos and the gigantic pretzel and it did not disappoint.

Let me tell you guys something, this bowling alley beats the other bowling alleys in the area, between the size of the place and the hella sick arcade, the fire place hang out area with the couches and beyond so much more it goes on and on! The pro shop being the ultimate best there especially with Jimmy doing his thing always working hard and finishing projects etc and helping me out! then the service being top tier, but the one last and final thing I'll leave you off with is this, my bud Dylan who work

Please read through - as this review starts off with what went wrong - but finishes with how incredibly well they MADE THINGS RIGHT (it's long - but a VERY GOOD REVIEW): Our family, along with neighbors and a few of our kids' friends, have made a tradition of spending New Year?s Eve at Bowlero Mineola, particularly enjoying the early session from 5-7 PM. Having had such wonderful experiences in previous years, it became our go-to spot not only for New Year?s but also throughout the year for playdates and ga

I've enjoyed our time here at Bowlero of Mineola tremendously! The alleys are great, the snacks awesome and the drinks are top notch. Special thanks to Dylan for making things go right!

Visited for first time during a company sponsored event. The service was great. Servers were very attentive, ensuring everyone had drinks. The food was great, we had prepared chips and salsa, salads, chicken tenders, sliders, Mac & cheese bites, fries and pizza. Overall a very pleasant experience

My first time here was tonight & it was great. Super clean, reasonably priced & updated. Plenty of lanes. Music, food & drinks also weren't bad. i?ll definitely be back!

Bowling at its best!! Great finger foods good beer. A bit pricey but a lot of fun. Nice arcade

Super clean and modern spot to knock down some pins with the family. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. Was busy but not uncomfortably crowded when we went. Balls were in good shape. Shoes seemed close to new.

Awesome experience with the kids had my son?s 10 birthday party here. Good environment was amazing. Bartender Tim was awesome

I hosted my son's ninth birthday party there this past Friday with about 18 guests, and it was fantastic. Everyone had a great time. The manager, Tyrece, was very kind and personable, helping us with everything we needed. Eve, our server, was amazing. She worked hard throughout the entire event, ensuring everything was in place without us having to ask. I would definitely do this again.

Was fun food was great and experience was dope. Definitely will be visiting again. Would say music could be a bit more modern day ??

Nice bowling alley spent new years there with the family. Large group accommodated everyone good service good fun. Nice place for an event. Thinking about doing my birthday.

I had a great day here today. Tye got use on our lanes some quick. Didnt ha e to wait that long. Hes a great employee. He alway treat us so good. Best bowling alley

Very friendly staff, clean bathrooms, great food! We love going here for bowling and arcade fun!

Amazing place good for parties I had my daughter?s 9th birthday there, all was good, the Food was good, all invited kids had fun and played They also have an arcade which was good for the younger kids

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

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.”
