Review from Jen W.

Im reading reviews that are not soo great but my review is just based on taking classes on trips. I would not normally pay 60 bucks a person to bowl, and would honestly rather play at the bowling alley next to a strip club not far from where I live, for 1.00 on sundays BUT for a class trip its a go to forsure.
This is the place where we take our students who are severley disabled and they re nothing but amazing!. We have dealt with situations that might have had us kicked out in some places ( due to ones with behaviour issues) but they have been nothing but patient and understanding.....hey its just another day in our work day why not shake theirs up a bit too i guess. The prices for classes are that you pay by the hour so approx 50 bucks, or 5.95 a student. You have to book in advanced, but thats no biggie, and bumpers are put up if needed. Its also wheelchair accesable. We don't order anything but they have been decent about allowing our students have their own drinks, something I doubt is normally allowed. We go around when it opens so we usally have the whole place to ourseleves which is also pretty awsome. So if you have a class I def think you should take your students there because its nicer then any bowling alley they proably ever been to and the people are REALLY NICE!.
Now if you do go ahead and bring your class and they do turn out to be captal you know whats, im soooo sorry!, ive been there a few times each time dealing with a different experience with my students and we have never had an issue with any of the staff.
The washrooms are small so if you have to do any sort of diaper changing, full clothing changes, etc your best bet is in the mall because they re no change tables, or family washrooms. * sad face* -

- Actual bowling is very very expensive in comparison to other places
- There is a dj on saturdays I believe for bowling but the place is usually so empty that it doesn't matter
- The drinks are really expensive ($8-10 and up) and so is the food from their limited menu.
- There is lots of tables, a bar, pool tables, and of course bowling lanes.
Lots of potential to be a cool place but way too expensive and usually empty. -

Came here last night with my work peeps for a team event. (We usually have poker nights on Thursdays, this week we decided to be rebels)
We booked the VIP section that was completely private & secluded (we have about 18 IT guys and 4 directors, 2 marketing, 3 HR and 2 admins).
It's directly to the right side of the mall , if you are coming from Steele's. There is no way you could miss it. It's got the black and white pattern all on the outside.
This is supposed to be the "cooler" bowling place. I assume it's because of the size. Inside it's massive.
The bowling , drinks & food was free (company paid) so I can't tell you how expensive it was. What I DO know, is a Coors light draft here was $6.00
There was a pesto pizza that was ATOMIC BOMB good. It's pure veg. There was chicken samosas that were baked (weird). not a fan.
The spring rolls were delicious! - well, they weren't rolls. There was veggies stuffed in an egg shell shaped flour and then friend. It was quite delicious. I believe it had potatoes and peas. Yummy.
The beef skewers were rather dry but then again I could have just had a bad batch. A few of the IT guys went crazy over them.
Overall the service was okay. We reserved the VIP area from 7-9 but they let us play until 9:30pm. The bartender was a bit slow and looked like she was on drugs. Other than that, the rest of the staff were pretty friendly and accommodating to us.
I wouldn't really travel this far for a bowling experience but it's definitely a better looking bowling house if you have a large group or trying to impress. The bathrooms are tiny so no points here. BLAah.
The shoe return was a bit of a hassle but the minute they knew we were part of the VIP group, we had service instantaneously. Hmmm....
This wouldn't be my first choice, but if you are in the area, why not.

Bowling Lounge inside Vaughan Mills. It definitely makes for a NEW bowling experience for some that know of bowling simply at a run-down Bowling Alley with malfunctioning lanes or OVER-USED bowling balls.
Imagine a Lounge then move that atmosphere over to a Bowling Alley. Lounge lighting with soft spotlights and hip DESIGNS that makes it ENJOYABLE and RELAXING while you chat with others waiting until your turn to STEP UP.
LARGE screens just above the PINS make it easy to watch your favourite game and keep in the action at the same time. Lounge Sofa Seats make it too comfy that you almost wish you're not the NEXT to Bowl.
There's a good sized DINING area that I've noticed is not as popular and it has been awhile since I've enjoyed a lunch here. The menu consists of things that are no different than your average Sports Bar & Lounge a la WEGZ nearby. The music selection fits the "Fashionable Atmosphere" as stated on their website.Listed in: Retirement Planning

Review from Markus L.

They claim to be a lounge, but it lacks a lot of substance.
We were there with our company and booked 3 lanes on a slow evening where only 6 lanes are occupied.
They let everybody wait for about 20 min., even with appointment.
You should think that 5 waiter could take care of 6 lanes, but we constantly had to look for our waitress and stop other waitresses to get her over. I don't want to know how a busy night looks like.
They charged an alcoholic drink the same amount (one voucher) as coffee, which makes it my most expensive coffee ever.
We had constantly problems on 2 of the 3 lanes, where strikes didn't count, the balls got stuck and other issues. Constantly brakes for the whole 3 hours!
We had a 'party planner' from lucky strike who was invisible for the whole evening, and as our time was up all lanes stopped in the middle of the games and we lost the counts without warning.
The food was ok, but not great.
One flaw followed the other and it was just frustrating.
Our boss was unhappy. For the price they charge you, you should be treated better, get better service and better quality of the equipment.
In short:
- crappy lanes
- slow staff
- overpriced items
We are not coming back. Sorry.

History
Established in 2003
2003 was the end of an era for the iconic Hollywood Star Lanes, an institution that served Hollywood for 43 years and was home to the filming of "The Big Lebowski." In March it was leveled to make way for a school, but just as the door to one icon closed, another opened.
In April of that year, Lucky Strike Lanes debuted its first location in Hollywood. Wanting to pay homage to its predecessor, Lucky Strike purchased Lane #7 from Star Lanes and made it Lucky Strike Hollywood's bar. It's been good luck ever since. Eight years and 20 locations later Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge continues to roll its way across the country.
