Strike, Score, and Celebrate in Times Square

Bowling, arcade games, and craft cocktails steps from Broadway at 44th Street.

About Us

At 222 W 44th St, right in the thick of Times Square, Lucky Strike is the kind of place that surprises you. From the outside it's easy to assume it's just another tourist trap. Step inside and you find themed bowling rooms with serious personality, a full arcade floor that adults actually want to play, and a kitchen turning out burgers that reviewers keep coming back to mention by name.

The lanes here are pay-by-the-game, which matters more than it sounds. You set the pace. Birthdays, first-timers, date nights, corporate outings after a long conference day, they all move at their own rhythm without a clock counting down overhead. The third floor has hosted everything from a daughter's first birthday party to a friend's surprise 40th, with enough breathing room that the grown-ups can grab a drink while the kids do their thing.

With a 4.3-star rating across more than 5,000 reviews, the crowd that keeps showing up is a mix of Manhattan regulars and visitors who stumbled in and stayed for three hours. Open seven days a week, the energy shifts from a relaxed midday session to a full-on Friday night scene that runs until 1 AM.

What We Offer

Lucky Strike Times Square runs on several distinct experiences that share the same roof. Bowling is the anchor: multiple lanes divided across themed rooms, priced per game so you control how long you play. The arcade is a genuine floor of its own, loaded with redemption games and classics, though the token economy rewards players who pace themselves.

The sports bar and grill operates independently enough that you can come just to eat and drink. The burger menu earns consistent praise in reviews, and the cocktail list is built for a crowd that wants options beyond a standard beer. Private event spaces across multiple floors make this one of the more flexible event venues near the Theater District, capable of handling corporate buyouts, milestone birthdays, and group outings with dedicated service.

Live sports on screens, arcade competition, lane-side food service, and a full bar in one building mean a group of eight people with eight different ideas about how to spend a night can all leave satisfied.

Why Choose Us

Pay-by-the-game bowling means no time pressure and no wasted lane fees if your group plays at different speeds.
Multiple themed bowling rooms give each visit a different feel, from a casual Tuesday afternoon to a Saturday night out.
The third floor accommodates private parties with dedicated space, keeping your group separate from the main floor crowd.
A full kitchen and craft bar mean you never have to leave mid-event for a real meal or a decent drink.
Over 5,300 Google reviews averaging 4.3 stars make this one of the most consistently reviewed entertainment venues in Midtown.
Open until 1 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, making it a natural stop before or after a Broadway show on 44th Street.

"Beautiful location for bowling! My husband and I traveled from the Bronx to come bowling for my friend’s 40th birthday. She has never been bowling before and this is a great place for a first timer. It’s modern and very beautiful. Staff here is very nice and helpful. I booked this reservation last week and yes it is pricy but well worth the experience in my opinion. When we arrived, there was a guy checking bags and you go through a metal detector. There was also a girl that checked us in and told us we were in lane 6. We got upstairs, used the bathroom and got our shoes. I’m normally a 7-7.5 and the 7 fit perfectly. My husband is a 9.5-10 and he got a 10 which also fit great. I love that we had our own section and the menus were already there. We got a round of drinks and a sampler platter. It had mini mozz sticks, tenders, wings, pretzels and fries. Everything was delicious. There was a manager hanging around making sure things ran smoothly and our server came by to check in a few times. We bowled from 7-9 finishing our game around 8:57 and then went to look around the arcade. I used the bathroom before leaving and i will say it was surprisingly very clean. I also noticed there was another floor to bowl. I will def be coming back here! This place is modern and beautiful with phenomenal service."

"I don't know how many people know how amazing this uniquely styled place is but I love it here. My daughter was invited to a party here I went to the third floor so that she could go be with her friends on the 4th floor. I got my own little area where I can sit at the bar. I also love the area the way they have the tables and chairs set up across from the bar. Everything looks clean and it just feels good in here it's really good vibe. I ordered a grilled chicken salad and I had a Oreo milkshake they have so many great options. I enjoyed my food very much the chicken was seasoned so well that I don't even think I needed any salad dressing next time. I told them to tell the chef this, the grilled chicken is an absolutely great tasting dish. I will eat it every time I come. The milkshake was good too. The party the kids were at upstairs on the 4th floor was so nice as well, they came down to 3rd floor to the video game area which I also love. The kids in this party group said they love their food too and they had chicken fingers and pizza a few things no complaints and kids don't lie if they don't like something they let you know. Their bathrooms were really clean and I loved this. The shoe pick up area for bowling shoes was neat just a good clean open space. Very nice decorations and style of the place makes it more vibrant. I loved my bartender Stevie she was patient with me, I had no clue what I wanted to eat so she helped me and talked to me about the different options. After I ordered my bartender Stevie then gave me a real estimate of how long it would take and when she said that the food was going to come out in 15 minutes tops 20 minutes she was correct. I would definitely go there again and again. I found out from the young lady downstairs something about the many different packages they offer and not just for parties but for a variety of ways you can bowl there, looking forward for my soon to be bowling nights for one I'm a loner lol. I am sorry I didn't get her name who helped me with package info but she was very welcoming. Over the summer and even now you awesome guys and amazing girls need to really look into this place for the bowling packages. Lucky Strike is a win for me. You deserve a good time for a good price for good food and great service. This is a place you treat yourself don't cheat yourself make your way down here soon."

"Beautiful bowling alley. They have several rooms with fun themes. You pay by the game, which I like so that you don't feel rushed. Food is great, especially the burgers. Arcade is awesome but beware claw machines are rigged to lose. There is no way the weakness of the claw in the big claw machine is going to pick up any of those items. The other machines claw opens up way to soon to carry the toy to the opening."

"Went with a small group of coworkers and had a great time! I wish i would’ve gotten the name of the staff that were at the front desk, especially one of the females (on 5/29 around 5pm) who was so nice and so helpful. i owe her the biggest thank-you for being so understanding and accommodating. The serving staff was also so nice and on top of our orders. Overall great experience, would come again and recommend. Also, i was using a groupon. as long as you read the fine detail, check-in will be smooth :)"

"This review is a few years delayed - I visited here for a corporate event for my previous job. It was a bittersweet visit as part, if not all, of the venue was the former location of the NY Times, where my father used to work. I can say confidently that the space has been repurposed for a good cause: Bowling, video games, pool tables, and fine food and drink. It's worth a night out for your special plus one, or group of friends. The alleys are clean and maintained well, staff are friendly, the bar is well stocked, and the finger foods are reasonably priced and taste good. Check it out!"
