Lucky Strike Bethesda

We came to bowl as walk ins, the place wasn't very crowded. The servers were great but they put us on a faulty lane, and we had to ask them to fix it more than 2 times, but they didnt move us to another lane. The manager that night was also very rude and when we told him about the lane having problems, his responses were "what do you want me to do about it" and "thats one of our best lanes" as though we were lying. We never asked for refunds or anything along those lines, but that manager needs to do better customer service wise. The servers were otherwise fantastic.

It pains me to leave such a negative review for a place like this that I frequent regularly, but something has to change or this place isn't going to last long. The employees couldn't be friendlier or more helpful, food and drinks are top notch, but when it comes to the actual bowling, that's the part that has become incredibly dysfunctional. Every time my friends and I come here, the mechanical parts running the lanes become more and more faulty. From pins resetting improperly almost every single frame, to balls getting stuck every 3 to 4 turns, pins needing to be manually reset every time someone makes a strike and scores being registered incorrectly on the screen. And the worst part is, most lanes are like this and seem to be a bit more worn down everytime my friends and I return, which

Recently, I started getting more into bowling. I purchased a brand new ball and began going to Lucky Strikes in Bethesda with some friends. My biggest issue with this location is that the lanes are all really janky. Some issues I experienced with the lanes are: 1) On most lanes, the pin setter doesn't work. For example, on the first shot of a turn, not all the pins (or none of the pins) will get set, so you have to keep resetting the pins until they eventually do. On the second shot, the pin setter may not pick up all the pins, causing more pins to get knocked over, affecting the score and overall experience. 2) The ball return doesn't work. My personal ball would often get stuck, and so I would have to ask a staff person to get it for me. However, this happens so often that it is frustr

We just had a great kids party at Lucky Strike on Woodward Ave. It was well organized and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. Our server was cheerful and very kind. The food and drinks were always refilled quickly and the kids had a wonderful time. We'll be back!

Great atmosphere, with TVs, music, mood lighting. They of fenugreek ball bowling and an arcade. The food came quickly and was good (standard nachos, chicken nuggets, fries). The only downside is the cost. It cost almost $7 to rent a pair of bowling shoes, then they charge per game rather than by the hour... And the bowling device jammed on us 3 times (lane 23). So two of us paid over $100 for only an hour there plus two appetizers!!! I won't go back because it's too expensive, despite how nice the venue is.
