The bowling alley itself is pretty cool. It's got a huge arcade plus the bowling alley. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really liked that you can set the bumpers up for individual people and they go up and down. That was a pretty awesome feature. It was just very expensive $90 to bowl two games for three people is way too much money. We probably won't return for that reason. read more

My best friends and I (we're all in our mid-twenties) had such a blast at Lucky Strike together over the holidays! The staff were super kind and accommodating and we had so much fun bowling two games and playing in the arcade. The server for our lane was so kind. While my cosmopolitan and my besties' drinks took forever to come out, she was so nice and apologetic. My drink tasted as expected and definitely made bowling a lot more fun. I also ordered fries and they were scrumptious. In the arcade we loved playing some of our favourite classic games like ski ball, air hockey, and racing! We were surprised that the place was completely empty and we didn't have to wait to play any games. read more

Holiday party at Lucky strike again, that is because we got gift certificates from Costco. We made early reservation, they reserve two lanes for us. It was a lot of fun. You do have to order foods and drinks. The staffs were helpful and friendly. I do like the appetizer platter. Pretzel bread, the wings and fries were my favorite. The chicken strips were little dried but they have dipped sauces to help. You can park close and get validated, free 3 hours. Or, you can park across the street for free. read more

First and foremost this is a bowling alley with "PINS" I didn't even know that. Till after I played. 40 dollars for 2 people to bowl an hour and a half on a Tuesday pretty steep for a week day. The house balls are gross and old. My lane was not even oiled made curling balls impossible. I'm from California so I was a bit disappointed. Other than that it's nice inside the projectors and music if fun and dope. Food looks amazing and bar is great. read more

Lucky Strike Bellevue - This lanes are not even oiled. - Bowling Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

IT IS DUCK PIN BOWLING. ALL OF THE PINS ARE ON STRINGS! You have to know this before you go and it is still an absolute rip off. If this were a real bowling lane it could be different. But is not so I will never be back. Expensive. Disappointing. Waste of money. read more

We came here for a birthday. $50 per person to bowl at 11am. When she showed up it said $21 for 2 hours of bowling special. What a rip off! The food and drinks were crazy expensive. I had ordered a bunch of food, $200 worth, pulled out a bowl of Doritos for my 9 year old to snack on while waiting and the manager promptly comes over and tells us to put it away. Really? I understand if we hadn't just ordered food but I didn't bring a chicken roast! The food was basic and not that good. Nachos were fake cheese with a tiny amount of cheese. $7 for a soda, I just shared with my daughter and got refills. As far as the bowling, music is so loud that you can't have conversations with people. One of the balls had a huge crack and chunk missing. Not worth it read more

BE CADEFUL! Ive never been auto gratuity on a tip. Walking up to a bar and ordering 2 drinks. Just me and my wife. Didn't even realize the tip was included as there is no signage or anything displayed on book or receipt until I asked for the itemized receipt after 2 drinks were $41 Gave her my card. Asked for the itemized receipt after I got just got a generic total and tip receipt no explanation of charges (Asking for additional tip not showing it was already included) shady way to conduct business. Wonder how many patrons have double tipped for the service not realizing there already including it. Wont be supporting any business who practices this way. read more

Came with 2 kids today as Dave and Busters had a private party so this was our plan B. They also on Wednesdays have half price arcade games, except I felt like the prizes were lacking and the amount of money wasted on the darn claw machine with super heavy Fall Guys plush was frustrating. Also the claw stopped working and I had to get an attendant. Ordering food was hard to figure out. Had to take the kids to the bar to find someone to get service. Luckily Hannah saved the day and even showed us go a booth where we could wait for our food. She was really the reason Im giving stars. Id really rate it a 3.5 just because it seemed kinda pricey to play. If it was a regular day, not the half price wed, it would be a definite no. Compared to dave and busters, it seemed darker and kind of a different crowd. More adults than kids. Adults playing DDR which was fun to watch but they basically took over the game so that was not fun as kids wanted to play. They have a lot of like pin ball and driving games/VR but not as many kid friendly ones. We didn't do the bowling - only the power play arcade. Food... average. Pizza, mozz bites, pretzel sticks, and garlic fries were all good portion. The booth floor we sat around was insanely sticky. The olympics was on and fun to watch but i could feel the ddr play vibrating our booth and table. despite it being really loud, it was not super crowded. Also pros: parking is validated. read more

You come with your child excited to play and after buying your card you realize that all the best games are out of service. Really not cool

So many problems. Needed to change our lane reservation 48 hours in advance. No way to talk to a human, no callback. Assigned a lane, server did not come until 45 minutes into bowling (I had to ask two people, they said it was because of a shift change). 18% gratuity added to drink tab without disclosure in advance. STAY AWAY! read more

Overpriced drinks and put an automatic gratuity for a beer and kids lemonade which I've never seen before, especially for no service beyond pouring two drinks. And that's after spending $600 on game cards, they squeeze me at the bar? No thanks again. read more

Attended a corporate event at Lucky Strike in Bellevue and had a descent time overall. It wasn't without a few bumps along the way. The parking is kind of a mess and is unclear if it's free or validated. The garage layout is more confusing than it needs to be. Once inside, the space is impressive with multiple bowling areas, an arcade that works for all age groups, and even a billiards section. Great setup for hosting multiple parties at once. Food was good, but there was a slow start which left people waiting. Also, I didn't like having to wait in the same line as the bar just to grab a fountain drink. It feels like it could be more efficient. Another small miss is there's no clear place to leave plates when you're done. That said, the overall vibe is fun and the staff were nice.

Hosted my daughters birthday party here. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our group had a great time! We booked the private bowling lanes and a banquets room. I highly recommend if you're looking for a venue for every age! read more

If you're looking for the perfect mix of nightlife energy, games, and great vibes--Lucky Strike Bellevue is IT. I came here on a Friday night with a group of friends, and from the minute we walked in, it felt like the place to be. The music was bumping (shoutout to the DJ--absolute playlist), the lighting and decor gave off that cool upscale-lounge-meets-arcade vibe, and the staff was super friendly and on top of everything. We started with drinks at the bar--great cocktails, strong pours, and surprisingly fast service considering how busy it was. The bartender even recommended a spicy margarita that absolutely slapped. Then came the bowling--and listen, I'm no pro, but something about the blacklight lanes and music made me feel like I was in a music video while gutter-balling. Super fun, great lanes, and you can order drinks and food right to your spot. Oh--and the arcade! Total throwback and a blast. Between the racing games, hoops, and even some old-school classics, we probably spent a solid hour in there reliving our childhoods with adult beverages in hand. All in all, Lucky Strike is perfect for birthdays, pre-funking, date nights, or just hanging out with your crew when you want something more exciting than a dive bar. It's lively, clean, and just a guaranteed good time. Will definitely be back! read more

Lucky Strike is located in downtown Bellevue on the third floor of Lincoln Square. Along with a bowling alley there is an arcade, pool tables, a bar, and a lounge area. They have air hockey, driving and shooting games, basketball, football, skeeball, claw games, and many others. The bowling alley was tucked to the side and was surprisingly smaller than I expected with not a ton of lanes. There was a lot bigger space for the bar and lounge. This review is for their arcade as we did not go bowling. To play, you buy a card and load it with some amount of credits of your choosing. It costs $3 for a new card but you can register the card to get more points and make up for it. There are self-serve kiosks throughout the arcade so you can reload credits without needing to stand in line. One issue is that some games aren't whole numbers (eg. 6.2 credits) so at some point you might have 11.8 credits left and a game will cost 12 credits so you need to buy more. There's probably some strategy to get consumers to buy more credits but it is a slight convenience. This place is of course very kid friendly but they have the bar and lounge for adults. They have space for private events so this would be a great place to host a birthday party or a corporate event. read more

They have a variety of games for all ages. We stopped here to kill some time and the family had a good time. At the front desk, you can purchase cards to play the games. There is also a photobooth to snap some memories. It was our first time stopping by but if in the area would try again. read more

PSA: If you're coming for bowling, book it online so you get a discount ($20 per person); otherwise, it's $38 per person Come after 10-11pm. Came here on a Saturday night around 8pm. Families and teens (dressed in prom attire??) Service: 3 stars. Pizza came in an hour late (they forgot). Our table wasn't cleaned / had some other people's things on the table. Food: 3.5 stars - fries were pretty good. Hamburger's ok. Pizza is pretty decent (taste ok, but portions were big) Drinks: 4 stars; get the pink elephant! Tastes like a strawberry lemonade. Kind of pricey but nothing out of the ordinary. Bowling: N/A Clubbing: 5 stars. For Bellevue, this was pretty fun. Two floors, one was a mix of reggaeton + hip hop + EDM. I noticed the crowd was younger. One floor was mostly throwback hip hop. More of an older crowd. Vibes were immaculate. It looked like the dress code wasn't too enforced. My biggest minor grip was that the DJ bent my ID when he checked it. read more

Got roofied here but fun until that happened I guess? LOL This place was the last stop on a bachelorette bar crawl I went on and we were having a blast! We got a table in the smaller back room which was near empty so kind of lame if you wanted to be around people but nice if you just wanted space and to hang with your own group. The barcade atmosphere was fun with all the different arcade games you could play! The main floor was much busier with more people but I actually kind of liked the music in the back room better. This guy at the bar offered to buy a drink for me while I was waiting in line and of course I never turn down a free drink! Turns out he dropped some Roofies in it and then proceeded to stick with me the rest of the night and try to take me home when the bar closed while I am clearly a shell of myself. Him and his friends followed us out all the way to our limo where our driver had to basically tell them to get lost. Pretty much lost consciousness and puked all over a limo after that so yayyyy. My individual experience obviously does not reflect on the bar itself BUT I did call the police to report it the next day (I had a lot of info on the guy) in hopes that they could at least notify the bar and have him blacklisted or something and they let me know that this bar gets a lot of these reports but because their cameras aren't great and there's no way to prove anything so there's nothing more to be done. Obviously this happens in a lot of bars but would be nice if staff could be a bit more vigilant especially if they know it's common practice at their establishment. Anyway, decent bar but watch your drinks and don't let strangers buy you any I guess lol. read more

Fun place to hangout with friends and have drinks i like going there they have pool and bowling as well

A nice place for parents with kids. Where as parent you can enjoy food while kids are busy playing . Their are multiple cars and other which are broken with no marks that it's out of service and however they say vaccination is required but their is no checking at front weather you are vaccinated or not then why is the board ?? Food is decent tried nachos which is fully loaded with cheeses and guacamole and French fries were very thick . Front staff is rude and grumpy :( read more

We came here on a Groupon offer for the arcade. The arcade itself was OK. I think the games are a little expensive but the good news is the ticket boost to redeem prizes is actually fair. We didn't go bowling and I likely won't go bowling there after looking at their prices and reviews. read more

First time bowling at this place! All of our previous visits were for clubbing, dancing, eating and gaming. Checked in at the reception and gave my number to get messaged back 15-20 minutes later. After we went back, got asked for our shoe sizes and duration of time for the bowling games. We decided to give it a try for an hour. Got taken to a different bowling alley lane than the main one in the front since it was busy and packed. Our lane was right next to a large group of Indian people who kept walking on our side back and forth for some reason. They kept getting in our way when they had 2 lanes foe themselves! Other than that, pricing for the shoes and games per person for an hour were reasonable. $5 for shoe rentals, $16 per person. So, total for an hour came out to $42+tax. Not too bad... Enjoyed 3.5 games of bowling before our time ran out. Didn't see any server come by. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect from a Lucky Strike Bellevue, but this place totally exceeded expectations! From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric--the music, the nice staff, and a lively crowd during their club nights. The lanes were a bit run down, but heard from the staff a remodel is coming soon. It was easy to bowl though and still stay in the party vibe. The DJ kept the dance floor moving all night with a great mix of current hits and throwbacks. Will absolutely be back--next time with an even bigger group! read more

This place is awesome, what a fun place to visit during night or day! The food was fast and tasty and the drinks are cold and refreshing. There is so much to do here and the staff are not only on it but friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the atmosphere it really is a great place for a date or a family outing. At night the fun really begins but I could enjoy this place anytime of the day. Had a great time here with my family! read more

Absolutely abysmal experience. Waaaaayyyy overpriced for the experience. Party of 4 $81 for an hour of bowling on a Monday . 3 adult drinks, I ordered a ginger beer. "Server" brings our tab and it's an additional $111 for those drinks alone. She said "it's an automatic 20% service charge, plus you can leave something on top if you want". Me confused, perplexed, flabbergasted at the super mid service, and you're asking for more on top is nuts. We paid for an hour of bowling and we bowl all the time, we got 1 game and 3 frames of the second game. Not even 2 games and 3 drinks for $192. Nawwww chief. Never ever again. I'm offended. Is there a way I can leave zero stars? read more

It's fun but pricey and the bowling pins are on strings so not a good idea for serious bowling.

lanes do not have any oil whatsoever, the employee refused to give us another lane. there were also over 10 lanes that were unused.

I can't in good conscience recommend this location. I can't speak for the other places, but it wasn't a good experience. We got charged $90.28 for an hour of bowling with two people. We were told $60 and since we had two cards that were gifted to us for our birthdays, we decided to just pay the ten dollars. Then, when we paid, they charged us 90. Before that, we had to wait for an hour and they put us on the waitlist. Totally fine, except they never contacted us. We waited for another 30 minutes and went down to check and they just gave us a lane. On top of that, a waitress came around while we were bowling and we asked for two waters. The people literally right next to us ordered two drinks and got them almost immediately. I had to go over to the bar and ask for some water because apparently that was too difficult. Last thing is that there were a ton of birthday parties. I totally get it, they were super swamped. Im not gonna chew out a minimum wage employee while theyre dealing with some of the noisiest, most obnoxious, unparented children I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. I feel truly bad for the employees here. No apologies. Horrible service and we got ripped off for an hour of bowling, and listened to screaming toddlers for an hour. Please, save your time and money. Go literally anywhere else. read more

3.5 stars - We had fun, made it work despite the bad bits, and would be open to trying again. We came as a walk in party of 3 to bowl Sat afternoon, and got in with no problems! (Really Good!) Unfortunately, our lane "neighbors" were a party of 10 teenage girls, who took over most of the seating and were all over the place. (Bad.) We had to flag a server down to order. (Bad.) The cocktails were good, and the pizza and fries came out quickly and were pretty decent and gluten and dairy free. (Good). The chicken wings were too garlicky, I heard, and they came out 1 hour later, shortly before our lane time was ending. (Bad.) We never got asked about getting more drinks or food, and at the 1h45m mark had to ask for water. (Bad.) The bowling was fun, and frankly, a disaster on my end. (Good.) It was hard to find the ball weight I needed (bad) but staff was helpful once I asked (good). All in all, this is a fancy bowling plus lots more joint, and is a great source of entertainment. I would come back but would try coming during the 21+ time and would probably eat before coming instead to avoid needing service. read more

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS ESTABLISHMENT. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT PAY IN ADVANCE for your playtime with Lucky Strike Bellevue (LSB). If for any reason a person in your party is unable to attend the event, LSB will NOT refund your money for the 1 individual that could not show up, but rather offer you a discount for your next visit. The way I see it - $252+ DOLLARS is nothing to sneeze at these days for 7 people to bowl. Given this type of refusal to refund the money I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ADVANCE PAYMENT. But rather, take a chance that you will get a lane when you arrive. There were plenty of lanes when we showed up X-must Eve 2025. Another point to be made, IF YOU WANT multiple lanes, I recommend that - IF YOU book on line, to make Multiple separate bookings under different names, OR Come to the establishment as separate parties. When booking on line with 7 people the system will allow you 2 lanes. At THIS POINT I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO LSB. They can keep the 10% offer for a next visit! If I had not paid in advance we would have saved a lot of money for my son's 43rd birthday celebration. We have went to many different bowling alleys with 6 people and given 2 lanes at no additional charge. We had never played at LSB before - even though it's closer to our home. We went because of the movie that was playing above the bowling alley at the mall. And all of us LOVE to bowl, even the little ones. BASED ON THIS LACK OF A REFUND I can assure you THAT OUR FAMILY WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO LUCKY STRIKE BELLEVUE. read more

First of all, The food isn't good. It's just all fried generic food that you can get better at the ball game. Nothing memorable and all frozen from a bag. The atmosphere is low quality, the games are all sticky, it's way overpriced and the service was just abysmal. Not worth in the slightest and save your money. Dave and busters is better. read more

Amazing service, great food, and drink are delicious. Will definitely come back soon.

This rating is strictly based on the waitress we had and the service we received. I'm a Sr. VP in HR and it was very apparent that the waitress was there just to get a paycheck! She was not attentive; didn't have a very warm demeanor; very slow with the service; the place wasn't crowded yet it took forever; only checked on us once and that was at the very end; it took forever to get our check and we didn't have the opportunity to view the charges before the bill was charged. The food & drinks was great but well overpriced with small portions. The cost per person was a little pricey. If I were to rate Malcom at the front check in for bowling, this would be a 5 star rating. He was phenomenal; attentive; NICE; positive demeanor; loved his upbeat personality. My Spanish exchange student from 8 years ago came to visit from Spain. This is her 2nd time in America. She was very disappointed in the service we received. read more

I go to Lucky Strike and I noticed the price was A LOT more than it used to be. A shot of Henny is $20 and was told they got bought by another company. What I didn't know is now the tip is automatically added. After buying a big round one night, I asked for a receipt and the bartender said they don't do receipts. Eventually I got one and saw that there is 18% auto grat on there for the whole order. People don't know that and tip on top of it. No wonder why they avoid giving receipts! Shady read more

Such a perfect date night activity. We spent our time in the arcade, so we cannot speak to the bowling or food ( but it smelled delish) We ended up loading $70 on our card and we still had points left when we decided to call it a night. Felt like a great value for the amount of time and fun we had there. We're looking forward to coming back and playing more games and trying the food. Highly recommend! read more

My boyfriend has recently gotten into playing Pinball, so we thought we'd go to Lucky Strike's Power Play at Lincoln Square in Bellevue. Tons of games, but seeing how our goal was to play Pinball, we headed to the 6 Pinball machines in the back. For those who are into Pinball and tournaments, you can register online and be "insider connected" to track achievements, high scores, etc. All of the Pinball games at Lucky Strike said they were insider connected, however, they were all offline! They have open WiFi, how are all the games offline?! When my boyfriend asked a worker about it, he had no idea about any of it. I found that weird since each Pinball machine has a barcode prominently displayed and invites you to join. Bitterly disappointing as that was high priority in choosing Lucky Strike to play pinball. The place also wasn't very clean in parts, although they did have some hand sanitizer by the bathroom. I kinda feel like with Covid and hands being all over the place they should have hand sanitizer everywhere. Overall we did have fun because it's still Pinball, it's affordable, (pinball is, not bowling) and right off the parking garage elevators. That being said, there are easy things that could improve the experience a lot. read more

If you're looking for a fun arcade and bowling experience, Lucky strike is a great place come hang out for a bit. If you're looking to host an event, read on. Save your money and run. This place is 50 - 100% more expensive than comparable places and absolutely appalling experience. We've been here many, many times and when it came time to have a birthday party, this was my child's natural choice. So we the highest package they have and added adult food as well. We were asked to arrive no more than 15 minutes ahead of our party and that our decorations will be put up by the host. At 4:45pm, we were there, and they guided us to the room. There were 2 people setting up the caring dishes who refused to make eye contact. When I walked up and introduced myself, they said "I'm Francisco, and I don't know anything, I'm just here to give a hand with setup..." ummm ok. We waited. It was 9 minutes to the start of the party, and we started putting up all the decorations. Eventually the host Kristi showed up, with the generic quote in hand, she had no clue what we had ordered! She told me that the food would be here by 5:30pm, and we'd cut cake at 6pm, and they have an hard stop at 6:30pm because there was another party after us. Ok. Sounds good. From there, everything went downhill fast! We put up all our decorations. They delivered the first batch of food 10 minutes late. They did not refill anything till we asked them atleast 5 times... we aren't big eaters, we just asked for another pitcher of water and 2 cheese pizzas. The package we ordered was supposed to have refills on the food. Neither Kristi nor Indigo the waitstaff ever showed up. All the other wait staff used the space to cut across to their kitchen carrying other people's orders right through the middle of our celebration. There was no hand sanitizer available here! What kind of game place doesn't have a large bottle of hand sanitizer available to folks?! Chuck E Cheese and Arena Sports do! There was no help with cutting the cake or serving it. They didn't even bring the adult veggie pizzas till 6:01pm! By then the adults had eaten what little they wanted. There were no food tags, people kept asking me what the dips were and what the ingredients were for allergies. Nothing there either. They didn't bring out the popsicles that we had brought explicitly for children with gluten or egg allergies. At the end, Kristi had the gall to walk up to me asking for a gratuity. I always tip 20%, but here was one place I walked out without tipping. What was I tipping for?! They were never there and they did nothing. I pointed this whole fiasco to Michael their supervisor and he offered a play coupon! How do you bring back someone's special double-digit birthday party back with a $20 coupon?! I told him to have the owner call me. I said I don't want a coupon. I want to be heard. The owner didn't have the courtesy to call me. Now you can decide if you want to have your special event here. read more
