56. Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge

I grew up in the 80s watching my dad compete in semi-pro bowling leagues, traveling around town to bowling alleys whose interiors were stuck in the 60s and 70s. Each one was fairly similar in that they reaked of stale cigarette smoke and served cold cheese nachos, but made up for such errors with rad pinball machines. Although some bowling alleys are still trapped in the mid 20th century, others, i.e.Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge have embraced modernized interiors and delectable grub.

It's swanky decor adds a sexy twist to bowling. Delicious cocktails and appetizers will keep you energized and may even help your bowling gam. Get a group together and reserve the intimate Luxe suite, which has 4 private lanes, it's own bar and a huge projection screen. It may be a bit pricier compared to you old bowling alley, but you can avoid that by making reservations during happy hour, weekedays (3pm-7pm) or reverse happy hour, Sunday-Thursday (10pm-close). Book in advance as they don't take same-day reservations.
