Pulled up to 810 Billiards & Bowling to celebrate my brother's birthday and honestly... a win was had First off no entry fee? Love that for us. Prices were super reasonable too. It was 8 of us and we only paid about $50 for an hour of bowling, which is kind of unheard of for a group that size. The place was definitely busy, but the staff kept things moving. Our waiter was super friendly and came through with solid drink recommendations (which we *definitely* needed lol). Food took about 20-30 minutes, but again, packed house so no complaints there. Now... the only thing holding this place back a little: the bowling balls. Baby, they have been THROUGH IT some were cracked and pretty beat up, so that could use an upgrade for sure. Other than that, good vibes all around. Plus, they've got pool tables if you want to switch it up. Would I come back? Yes. Would I bring my own bowling ball next time? Also yes lol. read more

Had not been here since it was Lucky Strike, and it seems they decided to leave it as they got it. The place has seen better days. The venue itself has not been up kept. Bowling balls all had dents in them, not ideal. The a/c could not keep up with this summer heat, as we were hot within minutes of being in our lane. The chairs and carpet are coming undone. The server we had was very nice. Only positive thing truly at this place. The price was reasonable, we did go during half price time frame. We ended up playing one game and leaving as it was too hot and just worth it. Houston is getting slim on bowling options but this isn't an option to settle on. read more

I work around the area and started coming here after work to have some drinks to wind down. I have to say Miss Jay is an incredible bartender and server. Even though she is a bartender, she has been behind the bar and had to leave to deliver food or get extra side items. She listens, shes quick, has a great attitude, and is overall who you want in the industry. She treated me very well and shes treated my friends/co workers just as good. The vibe is always good in her area and the music is really freakin good. If im being honest, im only coming back for Miss Jay, she deserves all my money!!! read more

If your system allows to large parties to double book as an establishment you should be working with both parties to find some way to accommodate both parties. The staff didn't seem concerned about our concerns only allowing us to know that the other party would remain. We booked that specific time because it worked for everyone - they asked us if we could come back later - they didn't ask the other party. There are a few options for activities downtown - I wouldn't recommend coming here though. read more

Great place! Darts, 2 pool tables, quick bar service, and many bowling lanes. I had a great time with my partner here, we played pool for a bit and then moved on to bowling. We spent hours here! It's a little hidden at first if you've never been before but it's right across from the House of Blues. Very friendly staff and clean environment. Bowling lanes were so much fun and reasonably spaced out. Everyone seemed to be having a great time there. The drinks were good, we didn't eat here but their menu looked appetizing. Highly recommend! read more

We had a blast!! I'm giving 4 stars due to the music not being loud enough to feel like a celebration and really get into the vibes. The staff was great and the manager was very attentive and did his best to ensure our party was taken care of. read more

Ambiance: Billiard, bowling, and gaming bar/eatery in downtown Houston steps away from House of Blues and other bars. Dark & trendy aesthetic with a sports bar feel to it. Stopped in for dinner with a few friends before a show at HOB. The food and presentation was 10/10. Decent pricing and drinks. We felt the service was quite slow and it took a long time to get what we ordered despite the bar being empty. Loved the wonton tacos! I recommend Street parking. We did not bowl but this vibe seemed fun for a party or group of friends. read more

I visited on a Friday night with a reservation for 8 pm. You pay by the hour; however, you pay to rent shoes and that is where the issue is. The rental fee is $4.33 per person, but I noticed that the cash register does not carry coins, which led to discrepancies in the change given to customers paying with cash. When I brought this issue to the attention of one of the staff members, she mentioned that the rounding of change would ultimately benefit customers. However, in my case, I paid with a $10 bill for my shoe rental and received only $5 back in change. As part of a party of seven, 5 members were similarly shorted by 67 cents (the others paid with a card), that could accumulate to $4.69 across our group. Considering how many customers they serve daily, this could result in significant extra profit at the expense of patrons. This experience left me feeling uneasy, which affected my desire to continue bowling. While it may seem minor, the principle behind it is important to me. The computer on the lane would only add 6 people which they said they could fix however, I decided to forgo bowling and request a refund for my shoe rental. Upon returning the shoes, I was surprised to receive only $4 back. I explained that I had paid with a $10 bill and expected a $5 refund, highlighting the inconsistency in the change I had previously received. After some reluctance, the staff provided the correct amount. As I left the restroom, I overheard a conversation among the staff indicating that "people don't usually make a big deal out of the change". This reinforced my impression that this practice may be intentional. While the amount in question may not be substantial, I believe it reflects poor business practices that can undermine customer trust. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I have decided not to return. I hope people start speaking up so they can change this business practice, or just eliminate cash and go to card only and stop short changing their customers. Now I do have to give a complement to the Server Tonja. She was was amazing. She was very busy taking care of the many customers and yet was attentive, efficient, and everyone's order came out correct and in a timely manner. The food was also very good. Especially the pizzas. She earned the place 3 stars. I still won't be back though because I don't like shady business practices. read more

This bowling alley is not meant for bowling. There was not one clean ball anywhere in the place. To better describe it, all bowling balls were capable of cutting and scratching your hand and fingers. All balls were found with deep pits, large gouges and long deep scratches in the finger holes. I felt that these were unsafe to use, should immediately be replaced. I chose not to bowl. read more

1st time here and me and my boyfriend's 1st date since before our son was born. This place felt super chill, laid back, and relaxed. That's how I like it. We were preparing ourselves for an hours worth of bowling, and our waitress Tanja came and gave us water to start. In my mind, that's a great start to service. All we ordered were 2 drinks and a Buffalo chicken dip. Tanja's service was top-notch despite being slow. The Buffalo chicken dip was very tasty and flavorful with a perfect amount of spice. It compliments the chips. The drink I had was the Rock Daisy. It was everything I expected in a drink, the perfect amount of alcohol, not too strong. If I were to come in during the night hours, the vibes would've been the same as when they opened... chilled, laid back, and relaxed. Will definitely return not only to play bowling, but to play billiards as long as we can get Tanja again as our waitress, maybe I can bring some friends along as well. read more

Was told last call was an hour before closing . I was also told I couldn't order more drinks at midnight. The host was vaping at the host stand and I wasn't allowed to order food. The employees obviously have no interest in making money. I won't be back to this place and I recommend that you don't go back unless you have to. They don't care about your business! read more

I bowled for 1 game but the experience was nice. This is one of the more cheaper bowling alley in the city. The bowling lane that we were placed at was pretty clean. The staff was nice and welcoming. I just wish we could have been able to bowl for longer. We were unable to extend our bowl time due to another reservation after us. The other lanes were empty but I guess that's because they were reserved for a an event. read more

I came here for an aviation mixer and parking is horrendous! It was on a Friday night though and the Elton John concert was going on so that's probably why. But there's also tons of construction in the area. The closest lot was $60 flat rate but the workers there did mention it was because of the concert. I ended up finding garage parking in the shopping center that the bowling place is in. And they do validate! I never actually got to bowl though since it took me an hour to find parking and all the lanes were taken. But it's a pretty big place with multiple bars, an arcade room, pool, and obviously bowling. The servers are on top of it! Ours was always checking in on us and recommended the Buffalo wings and pizza which was surprisingly delicious! We ordered a pepperoni, mushroom, tomato pizza and the wings. Someone in the group ordered the chips and pita bread appetizer with four different dips and that was also really good. This would be a fun place to go to for a birthday or something but definitely not when a concert or game is going on. The traffic leaving the garage took a half hour and then another hour just leaving the area. read more

I attended a marketing event hosted by the event manager, Marcella. It was a preview/sample of what to expect if you book a corporate event. The food was fantastic. There was good music playing throughout the night. The waitstaff was fantastic! The food was buffet style, and if you wanted a drink, you order at the bar. The staff came around to collect refill requests and ask about new drinks. This meant guests didn't have to step away from their game for , which was nice. We got the complete vip treatment, and I really enjoyed the event and ambiance. I'd say the only thing that me a tad is that we weren't given bowling shoes, so I had to bowl in wedges. This was my first time visiting, so I wasn't sure where to park. Because it was after 6pm, I was able to snag a parking spot right outside on the street, but I don't think getting that lucky is the norm. read more

SCAMMERS!!! Had a Christmas Party here. I had an extremely disappointing experience due to incorrect charges and poor management communication. When I reviewed the bill, the number of drinks charged seemed highly questionable, raising concerns about fraudulent activity or misleading practices. Despite my request for transparency, I was not provided with any notice or breakdown at the time, leaving me with an unexpected and unjustified bill. I reached out to management JACK for clarification and requested: 1. An accurate breakdown of the drinks served. 2. Clarification on pricing and any discrepancies. 3. Ask them to review the cameras I strongly advise anyone visiting this establishment to double-check their bill and be wary of potential overcharges. The lack of accountability and transparency is completely unacceptable. I'm including my receipt along with what i was quoted. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

I wish I could remember our waitresses name because she was AWESOME! So attentive and patient with us and our tribe of children (8 in all!). We enjoyed a quick game of bowling, but the highlight was actually the pool table ($15/hour) and the cozy seats and tables nearby that allowed us to watch the kids while we enjoyed our wings and fries (ask for the sweet chili, not on the menu). They've got a bar, but the sweet girls attending to it were definitely not bartenders as the drinks were less than stellar but inexpensive. The vibe was chill until just a few minutes after 9 pm when the music was bumped up to "club decibels" to make way for the night life crowd. I'm happy we found a cool place to kind of ring in the new year with the kids since those options were very lean in downtown H-town unless you wanted to hang out in a park and watch fireworks...which we did not. Would we return...for the wings, most definitely! read more

I was invited to an end of summer promotional event showcasing their new menu and pop vendor products for the holiday event season. This location was once called lucky strike and has since been taken over by a new name and new management. This is a great place for all around family or business entertainment although I do think due to the bar type atmosphere, it does cater to an adult crowd. You will not be bored! Bowling, games and pools surround the place at every corner. There are many lounge areas and spots for you to hang out even if you don't want to participate in the above. For this particular event, the food was really good. Lots of options that will be on the catering menu for the event season, great place to book a work holiday party or a shower of any kind. I do not know the pricing of the individual bowling but like and plan to spend about $60-120 on food, drinks and games. The only reason I am giving a 4 is the place could use a little updating. The couches are a bit ripped and the pool tables could use a good brush. Parking is tough of course being in the city but obviously not much can be done there but all in all, it was a great experience. Will be back, would recommend. read more

Only place I've been where you pay for bowling by the hour. We weren't able to finish our second game, time ran out with 3 frames to go. It was 90 out and they had no A/C. The balls were are cracked and dented. Overall not a great experience. read more

Honestly this is probably my new favorite bowling place in Houston. The ambience of the place is great so it's an ideal date place or just a hangout with friends. The prices are unbeatable ($8 per person per hour M-Th, $10 per person per hour Fri-Sun). Plus you can save money if you bring your own bowling shoes! You can also extend your time for an extra hour sometimes but they oftentimes have a waitlist of people waiting for a lane already so it really just depends on availability. Their cocktail drinks are decently priced and delicious as well. My main concern when I come here is downtown parking but since I come on the evenings I usually don't have trouble finding street parking anyway. The service can be slower sometimes due to the staffing but it's not a huge concern. read more

An hour was only enough time to play one game. But drinks and food were great. Nice clean establishment.

We were so excited to go bowling but wanted to focus on eating first so we don't run out of time during the hourly bowling rate. We arrived and sat in the bar area. We thought it was weird with red lighting all around. Our server Jackie, according to the receipt, stopped by. We ordered waters, a sprite, 2 Don Julio Blancos with Soda Water & limes, and a Topo Chico Seltzer (server was going to check availability) along with some appetizers (Fried Pickles, Spinach & Artichoke Dip, and fries). She came back with the drinks within 5 minutes without the Topo Chico. My friends tasted their Sprite and 2 DJB w/ Soda Water. They were off in flavor and flat. We looked for her to have her check the CO2 tanks and remake the drinks but was nowhere to be found for quite some time (about 10 minutes). She finally came out with a full tray of food for another table and ours. We finally had the opportunity to ask her to remake the drinks but since it took forever we decided to just forego the alcoholic drinks and soda. We also asked her about the Topo Chico, which she admitted she forgot about. After that we ordered our entrees as we were starving. At this point we have been seated for almost 30 minutes. Our Order: Gutter Ball Burger, Bangin' Shrimp Tacos, 810 Sliders, Pepperoni Pizza, Strike Burger. We began eating our appetizers and this is when things started to really go downhill. Pickles were extremely sour and I eat them everywhere. Fries were extra salty. Spinach & Artichoke Dip was the smallest serving I have ever seen in my life. After another 30 minutes, I went to ask the bartender to check on our food as it doesn't take that long to make the items we ordered, especially when at this point we were the only guests in the place. The food finally came out after already being seated for over 1 hour. We ended up receiving the Bangin' Shrimp appetizer and the rest of our order. At this point we realized why the lights were red all around. It hid the fact of how horrible the food was. You can't see the temperature on the steak, you can't tell if the burger already had condiments on it. The pizza crust was so dry and dense like cardboard. Everything was just ok. We had to ask repeatedly for water refills and hardly ever saw Jackie back at our table. I had to go up to the bar to request to check out as we have had enough. To our surprise, we received a "Large Party" 18% added to our bill. We had 4 people eating, and the other 3 were playing billiards. They came over at the end of our meal for waters. Such disappointing service. read more

Cool atmosphere. Huge comfortable lounge area near the bar. Big main bowling alley and there is also a separate smaller one with 4 lanes, 2 pool tables, a lounge area and it's own bar! Smaller one would be awesome for a private event. I had a few drinks which were great thanks to awesome bartender Andre Had their 810 Margarita, Andres tequila drink and a watermelon tequila shot. Got wings to wash down the booze, even with the small order could only finish half. Super good - asked for them extra crispy and there were huge huge wings and super crispy and delicious. Garlic Parmesan sauce was good. Honey Old Bay sounded good but was a little funky. Might be a me thing but it seems like it might pair better with a different Cajun seasoning with the honey (I think it was the bay leaves in the seasoning that made it taste a little funky with honey). read more

If I could leave no star I would! WORST customer service EVER and for $75 + bowling shoes so about $100 for an HOUR! We showed up 15min late because good luck finding parking ($20 for parking garage) we asked if they could reset the time and after some back an forth the manager finally stepped up and said "the best we can do is add 10min to your time" which is bullshit I spent 10min trying to get time reset on a Monday and there was nobody else waiting or bowling. After seeing the reviews clearly the food service also suck also, if this business wants to last they need to learn how to comprise when situations happen. When they called to see if we were coming nobody mention the time had already started, upon grabbing our shoes and checking in nobody mention the time had started, which of course made us be more frustrated. They are the only ones around the area so please DONT GO HERE, save your money and go to Cider cade, Dave in buster or main event! read more

10/10 Would recommend going if you haven't already! For starters walking in you get an overview of the whole place. They have a bar and seating to sit and talk while you watch the game and on the other side is where they have bowling and a VR golf projector. The service was great, fast and provided excellent service! The food was common like most entertainment industries but definitely worth the try. read more

Ok, so for the price, this place is awesome! We went for a double date. We didn't reserve a lane (which I think keeps the cost down) and only waited maybe 30min for a lane which is fine because they have a full bar and you can order food while you wait. Their drinks and food were very well priced! ($5 for a pint and cocktails under $10!) We had a lot of fun bowling, staff was helpful and attentive. The only reason not 5 stars is that the food was not very good (but really, what can you expect from bowling alley food?). We did see wings go by that looked really good which we'll have to try when we go back! It is also located right off the rail (Bell stop) if you don't want to deal with parking/driving and have access to it. Honestly for a super fun date night you can't go wrong here! This was less expensive than dinner and drinks at a standard Houston restaurant and you get to do a fun activity too! read more
