Got ice and went and asked if theyd move us. I went up and spoke to manager who told me to go back and theyd give me ice. I understand when places charge you for a cup, I get inventory. I am a paying adult who wants ice for her water. I asked if I could get some ice at least and was told "No, because the college kids sneak in beer". I went up and requestd some ice water and was told I could not get any ice water after 8, "theres a water fountain over there". They had no bowling etiquette- they walked in our lane, they kept taking our balls and just being really rude. Then before trivia began they gave some people the lane next to us. They were putting people in every other lane (as it should be). Then Halloween music shut off and it was like a bowling alley on a Tuesday afternoon instead of a Halloween event. They put on Halloween music for 10 mins and finally a trivia question and then costume contest. This was supposed to begin at 6pm and it was now 7:30. Was told it would start when manager arrived. I started timer on my phone once lane turned on and began as they didnt have timer showing on the display like other alleys doĪfter 30 mins of bowling I went up and asked when Halloween music and trivia would begin. We got there and had issues setting up the lane and a guy came over and helped us. Two of our group cancelled and we were going to go elsewhere but they refused to refund the money, so we went. We tried to reserve a lane and were told we had to prepay for it to reserve. Was $40/lane for up to 6 people for 2 hours. However, if you have to be seen whilst bowling, go blow your money at Lucky Strike-just don't expect good or even moderately paced service.įollow Chow Bella on Facebook and Twitter and Pinterest.Went bowling this evening for their Halloween costume and trivia bowling. Their pricing reflects the quality and while you don't get an ultra-hip husk, you would get a few more games of bowling in along with the same (cruddy) quality food and drink as Lucky Strike for about half the price. The Conclusion: If you like bowling and aren't a bazillionaire (or you at least enjoy getting what you pay for), try any AMF alley instead. We feel like there's nothing more to say about that. We also tried the $4 chicken tostada, which was assembled in such a lackadaisical manner that the crispy tostada base was completely soggy before it got to our mouth. The pretzel dog itself was dull and kind of confusing with an overly chewy pretzel tube slitted open with a hot dog jammed inside and some sesame-tasting cabbage thrown on top. And these aren't the good, bowling kind of strikes and all of this "service" took way longer than our game. When she took our food order and our friend was shorted the side of potato chips (likely store bought) for their pretzel dog-well, that's strike three. When she came back and took our drink order, we asked what food was on happy hour special and she said she didn't know and had to check. The Food: When our server passed by we asked for a drink and she said to wait because she wasn't sure if we were in her section. It's the kind of place that opened up for all of the "cool" people in downtown to go to, but they end up with a clientele comprised solely of douche bags and then wonder why. We're sure this really excites some people, but we don't like being pandered to in a way that feels so false and unwarrantedly pretentious. The wall art is completely obnoxious-trying too hard to prove its hipster cred with blown up celebrity mug shots, an IKEA-style painting of a kitschy spray paint can and even a super hip Native American painting. Plush faux leather couches are the between turn hang-out spots. Huge projector-style TVs provide the backsplash to the row of ten or so lanes. The Interior: Lucky Strike is the kind of bowling alley that people with too much cash to burn go to bowl and the interior matches that intention. The Hours: Happy Hour is offered daily from 3 to 7 p.m. Dick's Hideaway: Happy Hour Report Card New Gypsy Bar at Lucky Strike Brings Video Games and Dance Club Action to Cityscape The Spot: Lucky Strike Lanes, 50 West Jefferson Street Phoenix, 60, /locations/arizona/phoenix/.
