Reviews of Lucky Strike Fenway
Jordan Peace
Had an absolute blast at this place first time there was in town for a convention. The food was good very spacious there was a lot to do you have video games downstairs and bowling alley upstairs with pool area and lounge. Something to do for all ages can't wait to come back next year.
Vishnu Prashanth
Great place to spend time with friends and family. The food options are limited. They have a floor full of arcade games and a floor for billiards and bowling. The have huge screens to enjoy any game screening. The card readers are faulty.
motivation rodgers
This is where adults go to pre game. The arcade on the second floor is nice with some nostalgic games from your childhood . The third floor is where the pool tables and the bowling alley is located. The third floor has mature vibe to it with with leather couches and a long bar.
We tried the nachos which we were not impressed at all. Their bar food menue is very limited. They dont have a drink menue so just order what ever and hope they have it.

Good location, near to Kenmore/Fenway/Haynes t stations, if you go by car there is a some parkings spots over the street but this places usually are crowded is game days.
In the building there is two floor, first floor you can play arcade (some of them nostalgic games) for 60 cents to a dollar each and on Mondays they have 50% os discount on it.
Second floor you'll find the bar, the pool and the bowling. The bowling is $18 person/ hour and for pool is $18/hour/pool table on Friday and Saturday the prices changes to $22.
We went last Tuesday and we have lots of fun in the pool! Before going, you can check the operation ours on website.
From the bar, we tried the pizzas (margherita, BBQ chicken, cauliflower crust), boneless chicken, wings, french fries, Esteban nachos and smoked Gouda Mac & cheese bites (you have to try this one! But be careful is spicy!) you can follow the game ,they have huge screens in the bar.
I recommend this place.

The place is huge and full of activities. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good for a date or a group outing. Especially if you like arcades and bowling. The night club was closed when I went but I was able to lounge about as I pleased
Ronnie Kassiff
I had the best night of my life here. My friend was 30 minutes late so I played in the arcade solo for a while and Adam in the arcade made it so fun!! He even grabbed all the ping pong balls for me from under the machine. 10/10, would highly recommend. And look at these PRIZES 😍 …
Ray Stevens
We had a group event which went well and reserved a room and lanes. The rooms had pool tables, darts, and tables/chairs along with food we selected. Also had a dedicated bartender for our event. Staff was super attentive and helpful. The facility itself is nice and large, covering 2 floors. Could use a couple updates and refreshes in some areas but definitely recommend for a fun--and different--night out.
Kimberly Hale
Was visiting the area and stopped in. The place was great but the most memorable was how wonderful our bartender was. Danielle did an amazing job and was incredibly personable and friendly. It seems, more and more, it's hard to find decent customer service. So, it was quite refreshing to top off our evening with her superb service! I hope she sees this! Thanks for making our evening grand, Danielle!
Alex
The food isn't great - I suggest eating elsewhere, but the bowling and the arcade is so much fun!
It's $20/person/per hour to bowl at a lane. They lend you a pair of bowling shoes and I recommend you bring a pair of your own socks.
For the arcade, they have reloadable cards where you can buy credits to use the machines with USD. The prizes aren't very exciting in my opinion; likely more appealing to children. They have all kinds of games there from shooters, punching bags, skeeball, basketball hoops, dance dance revolution, air hockey, and more.
The appearance is very photographic and just a great vibe and atmosphere to hang out at night or during the weekend.
Shahab “Shawn” Sheikhzadeh
Decent bowling alley, decent food. Unless I wasn't paying attention, there didn't seem to be an elevator to get to the upper floors, which is pretty silly in 2022. I can't speak to the pricing as I went with peers. The house balls seemed to be of questionable quality and seemed pretty beat up.
There's a light up, electronic billboard outside the premises that can be blinding if you look at it. Also, I'm used to slightly nicer bowling alleys that have slightly different lane setups. Also, usually, you can invoke the lane reset from the console, that should be made more clear that it is tied to the ball return carousel.
The lanes seemed to not have a lot of space in-between their chairs and tables, which was extremely annoying.
One redeeming quality that made it three stars (I'd give four if I had more experience here or came here a second time) was one of the employees. This one employee had the Goldeneye main menu music playing on his phone and was so happy that I recognized it and said something. I think that dude seemed to be pretty happy with his job and content.
emily klein
Amazing place to go! We go every time we're in town, you can go bowling and then downstairs to the arcade, drinks and food as well.. we literally spend so many hours here having so much fun! Fun for ALL ages.
Andrea Holland
So happy that Lucky Strike (formerly Jillian’s) brought back their arcade. My group had so much fun on a Friday night and I’m especially grateful to Adam, Danny and T for going above and beyond and providing excellent service. A great spot to go with friends or on a first date. Will definitely be back soon!
Sara Villegas
Very organized.
Great for groups of friends. Lines are first come, first serve so I recommend try not to go very late. Even if you have to waste a while there are a lot of thinks to do while waiting like pool, drink, west, arcade games.
I didn’t try the food.
Thaddeus S
The bowling alleys are behind a wall of couches tightly crammed together. So tightly crammed that anyone trying to cross the couch barrier must either literally step over 3-4 other people's knees, or everyone on the couch must stand up awkwardly for every single person that needs to get by. There's no way to simply walk from the alley to the stools/bar/bathroom! We also had a hard time finding balls that weren't either 16lbs XL or 8lbs XS. The service was good though and the food was decent.
Caroline Holland
Great place to come for a night of gaming, eating, and drinking! The mac & cheese bites are delicious. Adam, T, and Danny at the arcade are super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend for a night out!
Holly McAndrew
Had some difficulties with our bowling control panel’s buttons. Otherwise, we had a great time at the bar, bowling, and at the arcade. Adam was also very helpful at the prize counter and helped make our night. Awesome birthday celebration overall!
Alex
Great spot for nighttime arcade and bowling. Several bars inside with quick and friendly service. The place is huge and has plenty of seating even when busy. Can’t wait to come back.
Tip: make a bowling reservation when you get there, can take about 2 hours to get a lane on a busy night
Jessica Crescimano
Love this spot for before and after events at hob or Fenway. Or just cuz! And Adam was super helpful and kind behind the prizes desk, mad kudos!
Jordan Dixon
It’s as you would expect. A lot of fun things to get up to. A little too busy for it’s own good. The arcade game settings seem to be more rigged than the average arcade though, and for the prize to ticket price ratio it doesn’t need to be.
Lauren O'Brien
Great place! Just don't expect to get in to play pool within an hour if it's busy. Waited 3 hours to play, but they have a huge arcade game area to play in while you wait or just chill at the bar.
Juan Bravo
Had a great time with my family at this location. Unfortunately, a handful of games didn't work properly. Adam and another tall gentleman were very helpful in assisting us and improved our experience despite the issues with the games.
Mark M
Great place to go bowling per hour pricing, AC could be turned up a little more though.
James M
Nice place lots of games and stuff to play. Being id’ed when your 50 years old (and look it) is a bit overboard but it was fine. You need play cards to play anything so you can be left with credits at the end.
Brazi
Despite the long wait it was a great time. Note: you can only have 8 people per bowling lane. If you have more people in your party you will have to order another lane
Laurel Adams
This place was awesome! My only complaint was about the food being a little lackluster, but the service was good and pretty damn fast. Igot the birria tacos. Not bad, not great. The atmosphere and variety of activities was amazing. Plenty of lanes, but the tables are weirdly wide and make it hard to get through to the front to bowl if you come as a large group. The arcade was surprisingly well priced and had everything from the typical air hockey and skeeball to Korean dance games and other rhythm machines. The ski game was fun to watch and the pod-style shooters were pretty great. Definitely will be back!
Karen R
A wonderful place for adults to enjoy the day. You can have food, beverages and play pool, bowling and a great arcade. We celebrated my husband's birthday there after a Red Sox game and we had a fabulous time. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone if you are in the Fenway park area!!
Suleman Khan
Fun place to celebrate a birthday!! Lots of arcade games and a good crowd
Steve Bernard
Best all time. If you want a great bartender make sure to come and see Danielle. She was the greatest!
Mike Jefferson
Awesome atmosphere. A fun place to go. They also offer food and they have a bar. They also have pool tables.
Clare Hardin
Had a great experience here! Adam in particular was awesome!! Would recommend bowling early and doing the arcade later to avoid the wait.
Joey LaCascia
I had the best time at New Years Eve at Lucky Strike, Fenway, thanks to Danielle. She was fantastic and helped our billiards night be as fun as it was.
Annie Kim
With plenty of pool tables, bowling alleys, and some ping pong and arcade games set up in a nice space - its very fun place to hang out and kill some time! Went here on a Saturday evening and it wasn't very crowded. Pool tables and bowling are a very reasonable price. Wish they had a better craft beer selection though and offered a wider variety of appetizers to snack on while you play games.
Zephyr Murphy
Fun! But the bar tends to be understaffed and games tend to be broken. Still fun tho.
Kartik Bharadwaj
A great place for an evening full of fun. Lucky Strike by Jillian’s is located on Ipswich Street right behind Fenway Park. It’s very easy to locate. This is a huge place with multiple levels. One level has a huge gaming arcade filled with all the retro arcade games and the top level has a bowling alley with about 10 lanes and a bar counter. The place is very vibrant on Friday and Saturday night. Sunday’s are a bit off and they tend to close the bowling alley early if there aren’t many customers. We were a group of 14 people who went in on a Sunday close to 12-30 AM for bowling and were turned away as they decided to close off the alley for the day owing to no crowd. It’s a bummer when such a huge group has to leave without playing even when the stated closing time is around 2 AM. Hope the management takes this into consideration. Overall a very happening place for a nice casual evening with food, drinks and games.
MustafaSellsCars
Great Place, remind me of Dave & Busters. We had great time playing Air hockey. Our get together was memorable and had blast. Would highly recommend to have a blast when you visit Boston Red Sox Stadium..
David Simon
The pool area bartender Danielle was fantastic. Great service. Made this a new years to remember!
Shane McNamara
Decent spot for some beers, bowling and an arcade. Nothing special but not bad for a fun night out
Jessica Carr
Danielle is the best bartender I’ve ever had she is amazing 10/10 such a queen this place is so good thanks to her!
TheGain Life89
Definitely a great date night with the spouse or friends to feel like a kid again decent prices on drinks as well
John Wendeborn
I came here for the first time for a nice hour of bowling. I came about half an hour after it opened, so nobody would have had much time to play on my lane. I was disappointed to learn after 2 throws that the lanes were extremely dry (i.e., there was very little oil on the lane, so a ball thrown with any amount of spin will break into the gutter immediately). As such, the lane was completely unplayable. See the attached video if you're curious (yes, I bowl with 2 hands).
I went to the front desk to ask for either a refund or to simply try a different lane; they opted to simply refund me. I'm not sure why they didn't let me try a different lane, but so be it. I was satisfied with the refund.
Ultimately I am giving 3 stars as opposed to 1 both because I was given a refund, and also because Lucky Strike does have some redeeming qualities: It is a very nice locale and the price of bowling isn't so much compared to nearby bowling. But my entire reason for being here was to bowl, which I was unable to do, so I will subtract 2 stars.
In all fairness, I probably had a bad lane, or at the very least it was just a bad day, but it still happened and was a huge waste of my time. I'm sure that if I ever went back it'd be fine, but the lanes should be oiled properly.
Tight Silk
I love the whole entire experience. Me and my family will be back to visit . My bartender Danielle was very polite and a very hard worker it seems . Our drinks were made right and was delicious. Very nice experience.
Margo Gaytan
Our family were treated like VIP’s the entire time we were there. Chris had taken great care of us during our bowling game.
My daughter also won two bonus games!!
The atmosphere is fantastic and we love the history surrounding the building.
Mike
Big place, lots of good quality pool tables, busy but plenty of elbow room. Danielle was on point with the drinks and had a red bull for me when I was fading. 5/5 would recommend
Diego Cota Hernández
Amazing place, lot of arcades. The food is pretty good, I love to go there once a week.
Nick Savage
I remember coming here when I was a kid with my dad before we'd go for a Red Sox game. Haven't been in almost 20 years and it was very cool to go and see and bowl there again. Nothing has changed. Great place.
Katherine Sele
best new years ever!! danielle was an incredible bar tender, gave amazing drinks and great customer service. thank you fenway and especially danielle!! wonderful night and wonderful service!!
allisonmusic1
Really fun place! I just wish they didn't make their drinks so strong! The two times I went and I got a mixed drink the bartender poured almost the glass full of vodlka. I couldn't drink it and I just wished their cocktails were more balanced.
Dara Behjat
Fun games, could use some better updated games, but awesome venue for snacks, drinks, games, sports.
omar elmi
Danielle aka Danny was one of the most welcoming bartenders in the city of Boston. I am born and bread in eastern Eastern Mass and have not met such hospitality since I was down south. We will be back Danielle!!!!
Jeannine DeMarzo
My family and I had an amazing time bowling at Lucky Strike! Staff was great and super helpful especially Chris who went out of his way to accommodate us! We’ll definitely be back soon!!
Sean Bennett
Kevin and Adam are employees of the highest level. They made us feel more than welcome and are deserved of plaudits of the highest order. Thank you again for making us feel us so welcome!
Andrea Merino
Went there with a group and everyone was so nice!! They accommodated us really well and our server Daniellee was so sweet and attentive. It was a fun experience for everyone!
Greg McEntyre
Fun times had at a private event on the third floor. Pool tables, bowling lanes, and lots of drinks. Second floor had the bar and arcade, lots to do and right down the street from Fenway Park.
Messy Recipe
The drinks were good, there wasn't a lot of people, so we didn't have a wait, and the staff was really nice. The environment is fun and upbeat, and the decor was homey and fun.
Emily O'Brien
Always such an awesome time - Adam went above and beyond to be sure our tickets didn’t go to waste and we enjoyed our time! 10/10 will be back will recommend
raja ali
A fine place to hang out with buddies. You can play pool, do bowling and enjoy arcade games. A fun place to be. It has something for almost every age group
Faiz Khan
The best spot to relive your childhood. Great variety of arcade games. Air hockey to walking dead, you name it and they have it. Lot of Sega racing games too. Will surely drop by every time I visit Boston.
Scott Mackay
Good atmosphere, appetizers okay, but skip on the meals as they are not restaurant quality.
Tam Roda
Let me start by saying the staff is great. The prices are high, the food is barely bar fare and it is not obviously accessible for handicap people.
Timothy H
Great fun to be had here in both bowling and arcade, hard to find lanes at peak times so come early if possible
Christopher Kiriaki
Danielle is the best bartender. She made my New Years the best ever!!!
Josh Lesko
Pick your floor: arcade, bowling alley, pool table, there's something for everyone. Plenty of bar space, with local beers on tap and a full bar backing it up. A great place to stop after work or before a Sox game. Stop by and give it a try.
Dshap 144
Loved it! Danielle the bartender gave us the best New Years ever!
Joe Post
What a fun time, plenty of bowling, billiards, and games for everyone. Decent selection of draft beers, and the service very friendly. I would 100% recommend for a group event or just a fun night out.
승연
it was so fun i had a lot of fun worth of going!
Adam was so kind and gave great service.
Jaxon Klem
Had a great time service was phenomenal. Chris was especially kind and also when the game my wife and I were using broke he fixed it very quickly.
Siddesh Shenoy
Good place to Hang out with friends and play Bowling..!!
When I went the place wasn't clean enough.
All in all great place to play till late nights in Boston.!
Darrell Crethers
Go see Dannie! Great drinks and conversation! I’ll come back to Boston just to see her
Jackson Temple
a fun spot! the staff is super helpful too! it looked like a huge line for bowling, but a guy named chris working the counter was super efficient and got it done, what a guy
Cynthia Lu
This review only addresses the Arcade:
General atmosphere: dark, neon lights, comfy. The place is very clean, the tables are cleaned regularly and the bathrooms doesn't smell even on weekends. Food is overpriced but you know you'll just go for the drinks anyway.
Arcade uses an eCard system, you fill it with money and use it later. Simple and easy to use.
The arcade selection is fantastic, but most of them are still mainstream in terms of Arcade. There was this lack of selection in fighting games.
But racing fans rejoice! Mariokart is here along with at least 5 more selections. With a group of friends no one will be left out because there's a lot of space for rides.
Personally I love the shooting games. All of them are wonderful point wasters but an enjoyable ride each time. Note that in the Aliens shooting gallery, P2's pointer calibration is off sometimes and the pointer's inaccuracy will throw you off
Worthy to note that the point system broke down when I went there and I didn't get any tickets. But overall this is a pretty high quality arcade.
Michael Bossetta
Games, games and more games! And booze! Came here to play some pinball and the machines are well kept and reasonably priced (the machines are Metallica, Wrestlemania, Aerosmith, Monopoly, AC/DC, and Star Wars). They have all sorts of other cool games, like a Star Wars racing pods that’s got a planetarium-type screen (but these are much more expensive to play). All in all, cool spot - if not a bit cheesy.
Christine Hanko
Great tables and ambiance. Danielle is a lovely bartender:)
Eric Cummings
Great arcade really good place to play games and have a bite to eat before the game
Deborah Pierce
Went there with my older brother in my younger brother and we had a ball I hadn't bowled in a long time plus you can eat to we had a gorgeous salad
Sharon Singh
Adam was super helpful & sweet. 10/10 recommend coming here just for his service!!
Alexandre Costa
I came in last Sunday to play some arcade games. The ecard system makes paying for the games very easy - also important to mention that TICKETS ARE STORED IN THE SAME ECARD. The games variety is not bad at all, I wish I could have played some fighting games, though. Maybe my greatest disappointment was Pump It Up being turned off. I asked some staff about it, it looks like the monitor stopped working and they're trying to buy a new one. It seems like the greatest game in that arcade has been off for months. Should I expect that awesome arcade to work again in the future?
Andrew Kang
If you are a serious bowler, then I would probably not recommend for you to come to Lucky Strike. The lanes are not oiled properly, so personal bowling balls can get scratches from the lane. Probably another establishment will be better suited for league bowlers, but for the casual bowler who wants to have bar food it's a decent place.
Katie Wong
It’s cool and plenty of games to play, except the coat check is extremely slow, and the sudden close down without notice because of the baseball match final today
Russ
I enjoyed the variety of games and things to do.
Anna Beck
Slow Thursday night, the bartender upstairs refused to serve us. We sat there as people were getting served who came after us for a very long time. We tipped him well the first time he served us, and he did not serve us drinks the second time. Bowling alley staff were fantastic. People at the bar were terrible. Management should address this so all of their employees share the values of the establishment.
Chris Aleo
Lucky Strike or "Jillians" is by far the best location in the fenway area for all around fun. There is a club and dining on the first floor if you're looking to dance. The second floor has a large arcade and pool tables for enjoyable fun for all ages. Then there's the bowling and lounge upstairs that is definitely the highlight. They have great gear and truly created the perfect fun/chill environment to go for a date night or a night out with friends. There is also a rooftop area you can bring drinks up to and overlook Boston. Their food is definitely 5 stars for the type of emporium it is. Everything is great tasting and the portions are large. I highly recommend this place to any and everyone when I'm asked "where is a good place to go in Boston?" Have fun!
Jamie Klinger
Awesome to have a 3rd floor bowling alley but the cost for games and shoe rentals were kind of pricey.
C Alexander (yorksgiftworld)
This place was awesome! A million things to do, amazing staff, and the food was good too!
Ben Irving
Fun place to go and have a fun night out. Can get crowded on weekends and it a bit pricey, but worth it still.
Alex
Really nice 3 floor bowling ally and arcade underneath. Has some food and drinks too. Bar on both floors. It feels like a much better Dave and busters.
Matt Katz
A bit too dark (black light) and expensive ($55 for 3 people, 2 games and shoes), for daytime bowling, but no waiting. So go if you need a bowling fix, and have not planned ahead.
Jenna Sunshine
FUN! Not to sound old but "good, clean fun!" 😁 Video games, air hockey, bowling, pinball... We had a blast!!! The tokens & points go on a card, so you don't need cash, quarters, or to count tickets at the end; you just load money onto a card & swipe it to play games, and the tickets you're awarded are loaded on the card as well. There is a bar so we got a drink, the bartender was really nice. We had a ton of fun playing games all night, we never made it to bowling, so we'll do that next time. Highly recommend!
Tapan Rajpura
Awesome place to chill with friends where u can play bowling, pool and many games also theres bar where u can drink and enjoy. We paid total 12$ for bowling and shoes also, we went Friday's evening and it was not that crowded.
Vinamra Jain
Good lanes but less balls. food wasn’t that great but drinks were nice.
Sam Matuawana
Absolutely amazing vibe, a little pricey but what do you expect being next to Fenway
Michel Hilani
Big 2 floor place with bars, bowling and arcade games.
A bit pricey, but still a great idea to hang out with friends!
Jade Bolds
Lots of fun, reasonable prices. Plenty of things to keep you entertained, and the staff is very nice
allison agostino
Amazing place to hang out. Cheap games, good drinks, super cool that its two stories.
pauly boi nice
Little on the pricey side but fun good food good drinks
Tobias Herrmann
It's a fun place. Got bowling, billiard, and an arcade area. Standard Drink and Food Menu (Beer, Burgers, Fries etc). Mostly go there if I am bored and don't know what to do with myself. Good for a hangout with friends or for Datenight.
N H
Super fun place! ESPECIALLY THE PRIZES SECTION ADAM IS THE BEST!!
Margaret M.
We always have fun here. The bowling is based off amount of hours purchased not amount of games. It's always clean. The drinks and food is good also. Don't drive here during a game. It'll be hard to find parking.
Jay Bird
This place was so cool! I’ve been to other arcades but this place is definitely the best. My husband had been a few years ago and was telling me about how awesome it was and now I see why. It’s fantastic because they have all the best games. It seems like they keep up with the times and have all the latest in arcade games. This is why they’re different. Of course they had your classics but they had a ton of cool games I’ve never even seen before. This was a ton of fun and I can’t wait to return!
A J Franceschi
Great place to just have fun- bartenders are great but the food staff is slow...It's best to order at the bars
Jon Ross
Danielle is a great bartender! Having a great night despite the the Red Sox game being horrible
Darrell Crethers
Danielle was one of the best bartenders I have ever had. She was professional and very kind while waiting on me and my wife.
empireofthesunlight
For 10 dollars you can try almost 10 arcades and you have so much choice. Really loved the space invaders one. You earn tickets to win prizes, candies for us. I had a great night
Rachel Frankenfield
Super fun! Bowling is expensive (around $20/hour per person). Arcade and bar upstairs are great for adults.
Ravi Kadambi
I was having significant troubles with the walking dead shooting game and it refused to load my card. Gametech Chris came to the rescue and absolutely saved our night. Absolutely would come back
Mel B
Nice, but a lot of the arcade machines were out of service
c s
Adam is great! Super helpful and nice. Reason we come back.
Rallabandi Shashank
The place is pretty lit !! There's most likely going to be a wait time for the bowling lanes, but that's when you spend time at the arcade. I recommend getting your own socks for the bowling
Lots of games at the arcade (old and new). The cards are easy reloadable at kiosks and the winning points go straight to the cards.
PS: the location does not have a parking lot. There are street parking meters but there's a likely chance they'll be taken. We parked in a public parking lot at the intersection of Jersey and Van Ness. It's about a 5 min walk
Tejas Shah
Fun fun fun, this place has so many exciting activities, the kid in you will come out excited at this place. They have a whole floor for arcade games, some of them are really fun and interesting. The upper floor has bowling alleys along with pool tables. The bar is good and has many beer options, finger food is decent as well. Lastly, music was also cool on a Saturday evening. Definitely a fun place to unwind on a weekend. Or a weekday, if that works for you!
Nicole K
The game rooms are nice and have a lot of fun arcades so 5 stars for that. For the place as a whole- 3 stars. One star off for the very expensive bad food. I got the chicken sandwich and the bun was moldy. Pizza was old and tasted bad. And another star off for the lack of more hand sanitizing stations (saw only 2 stands with hand sanitizer- one on each floor).
Dylan Hutra
Awesome place to grab a drink with friends. Chris gave me some killer pool tips, I might actually improve!
Daniel Milbrandt
Huge Venue that frequently is overlooked by the baseball and concert crowd, good for corporate events or larger groups. It's a fun time, but like, a specific fun time.
Gabe Zwerin
Great fun place to go with friends. Chris is very friendly with patrons and quick to help with any needs. Always on the list to stop by when visiting Boston
朱俊立
Nice place to Bowling. There are some good food with reasonable price too.
LT Derrick Nguyen
This is the hippest place to check out if you're in the area. This is like Dave and Buster's but you need to be 21 or older. The burgers were good. The wings were not that great. It was a good price, $50 worth of play time kept my GF and I busy for like 2.5 hrs. while we waited for our turn bowling.
The wait time for bowling on the 3rd floor is insane . 3 hrs for us but if you give them your number they will text you when you can play. We were able to play games while waiting. Would go again.
Pro tip, if you are parking don't park on the street close to the buildings without reading the signs. There is residential parking after 6 pm until 8 am and every car on that street had a ticket.
James Perez
A great place to grab food and a drink before or after a game at Fenway park. Especially after because no one walks this far down the road. Trust me.
Brent Guimont
This place is amazing! Great bowling lanes with comfy seating all around, plenty of lounge areas, pool tables, all on just to top floor! The second floor is stocked with tons of arcade games that I didn’t even have a chance to play through all the ones I wanted to in the one night I was there. Plus, the bar is fully loaded with a great beer selection and any number of boozes you could ever want.
Nancy Murray
Really great place to bowl, very spacious and well lit. A fun time for everyone. Massive arcade with tons of games to play of all different varieties. Food in both sections from cheesy nachos to a vegan burger! Bartenders offering a variety of drinks. Fun place for people of all ages .
Josselyn Vergara Cobos
Unlike Lucky Strike assembly where the majority of games are not working, in Fenway you will find a great array of arcade games. Havent tried their bowling aisles but the waiting times can be quite ridiculous.
Nicolas Rodriguez
We played bowling and we had to ask for help because the machine didn't work well many times. Anyways the place is nice.
Julian Bennett
Great place to hang out with family and/or friends.
CM D
Really fun place with great music and great vibes !
I do believe they need better ventilation because it got really hot in there.
I'll be back though ! 🛼🛼 …
Josh Berger
This is a cool place to go early in the night as it gets really packed the later you go. They have three floors and I'm usually on the arcade for bowling floors. The bowling is fun and newer so setup is easy. The arcade is fun as well. The big downside is that everything is way too expensive. A few hours here can easily run you $200 between you and a friend. They also expect you to tip to set up a bowling lane which I think is total BS.
Lina Castellanos
One of my favorites places to play pool and have some drunks, great game area and is 3 floor of just fun!
Cathy Cove
Super fun post concert
Jeffrey Clement
Skeeball and Mario kart are a couple of my favorite games. I always have fun here and it's a plus it's open late. Service is pretty friendly but can be slow sometimes
Nick
Nice place for a few hours of some arcade fun, along with food and drinks.
Michelle for once
We had a good time. $15 unlimited play was amazing. It's real easy to bring home lots of loot. The food was good too. Bowling was $12.50 for 1st game then $8 a game after.
Melinda Geskey
Arcade, bowling, right next to Fenway Park, fun.
Leah Wilson
I love the bartenders, they are so hospitable and personable. I love the games and arcade too. Great place for family or 18+
Noah Bergan
So much fun! If you visit Boston or live there this place makes for a great night out!
Hetvi Vora
It has three levels - a bar, an arcade section, a bowling section. All three are amazing. It's crowded but just the right amount and the music is always great. Chill vibes and you can keep switching between the floors. They're polite staffed and are more fun during sports events/game days!
Elizabeth Villar
A fun place with lots to do. There are two different levels, each has a big bar. The service has been pretty fast to get drinks, though the servers aren't the friendliest, occasionally even being rude (at least at the upstairs bar). The volume of people swings kind of wildly hour-to-hour, even on a Friday/Saturday, from lively to almost dead and back.
Dawn Rydle
Wonderful place to have fun!!!
Marina Bryant
This is a great place to come with friends but I would only suggest coming during the day. At night it takes about 1-3 hours to wait for a lane. Once you are at a lane (and if you only get one lane) you have to share a VERY small space with others. So if your party is over 5 people I would definitely suggest getting a second lane unless everyone is okay with standing in the lane or standing in back of the lane. Food wise: DO NOT get the nachos. They are literally repulsive. I asked the waitress to take them back because they were cold and soggy without any cheese. Then she brought out the second batch which was STILL COLD, extremely soggy, but at least they had more cheese. It’s nacho cheese spread though so not appetizing. WHAT I WOULD Recommend : buffalo chicken and Mac&cheese bites, and the cookies. Overall the nachos kind of set a bad taste in all of our mouths so will not ever order them again. But will come for games!
Jennifer Vibber
Current price as of today 4/2/21 was $20 per person per hour for a lane including shoes. A pair of us got in 3 games in that time, which was reasonable. Friendly staff. Clean as a whistle.
John Bandy
Very cool. Food is good. Lots of pool tables.
Xylene Graves
I have only ever bowled here. I really like it, though. I am in a bowling league that plays here. The prices are very reasonable, when considering its location. It does not seem to be more expensive than a typical bowling alley. I have not been to any other floor yet. I want to try the arcade. It looks very fun and welcoming. Also, I think the food is very good, especially the fries.
Weston Marlow
Awesome, huge location with plenty to do! Not just bowling, but billiards, bars, food, and a massive arcade. Beautiful interior that was recently renovated with a cool retro factory-chic feel. Even the bowling shoes seemed updated and not raunchy! Good drink and food service to boot. Parking is a pain (it's near Fenway), so take public transit or get a ride if possible.
avnika patel
Awesome place and decent price on drinks
Jason A.
Since renovation this place is gorgeous. Bartenders on the third floor are really nice and the overall status of their gaming equipment was top notch. I did not see 1 out of order sign anywhere and it was a great time. Will be coming here again.
Meghann Case
Nice place. Long wait for bowling - and that was on a Wednesday night.
Patryk G
A huge, 3 story bowling alley + arcade that is filled to the brim with tons of exciting stuff to do. There's a huge bar on each floor, so you don't need to run far to get drinks. Tons of comfy furniture to lounge on, and a great view of Boston from the windows!
A great central location with other stuff to do, but you won't need to leave as this place has got it all.
Attentive staff during off hours, but when it gets busy expect to wait a bit. Fair pricing for downtown Boston, and special drinks for when you're feeling experimental!
Godfrey Ainooson
Went there to meet with some friends from grad school. Surprisingly large and spacious, with a lot of fun activities. Bowling and pool at the top, with a full bar and restaurant, and on the 2nd floor are a ton of arcade games. The place was well kept and the staff very polite. The artwork on the walls on the top floor were also pretty interesting
Margaret Lamb
Chris Forlini made my experience the best ever! So friendly and I had the best time ever!
Wallflower Speaks
It's not too expensive, and the appetizers are better than expected. Also Someone try to beat my score on boxer glove game, I doubt you will.
Daniel Wang
Fun place with arcade, bowling, pool, and drinks!! Love coming here. Good location too. Wait can be long on weekends
Tyler Tsang
Came to this place a couple times, the arcade is full of fun games. You can play tons of games with the minimum amount of credits on the plans. My only problem is the bowling alley upstairs. There's a focus on aesthetics rather than function. If it's busy, the couches for sitting after you turn may have an unwelcomed guest(s) on your side. You also cannot choose your bowling balls since they're already loaded onto the rack (most with holes really small). This isn't necessarily a place for serious bowling but a little courtesy and thought would benefit this place greatly since it feels cramped bowling with others around you. The food and drinks offered however, make up for this since they're really tasty. I'd say this place is okay for what it is.
Ansel Cancel
Awesome place, food was great, wait time to bowl was around 2hours but we did go at basically peak Saturday time and the place is so nice that I didn't mind the wait at all
Monica Murry
Just recently remodelled and clean. It's more than just a bowling alley, there is also a very large arcade. There were some kids present but I would say this place is more geared for adults to have some fun. Since there are only a handful of lanes the waits are very long so I wish we made a reservation. A bit pricey but then again your in Boston.
Ethan Jaffe
I had a birthday event here last night. There were 15 of us and the whole process was incredibly easy. Laura was very helpful in getting the reservation (especially on short notice) and made sure I selected the package that would be best for the event. Bowling was great, the food came out and was enjoyed by everyone. Our server Angie provided great service with us for the whole time we were there. She was so friendly and made it a special experience for all of us. I'd highly recommend this location for anyone considering a small birthday! (Don't forget to request Angie as the server!)
Jean Mercedes
The place is action packed. Multiple floors and the owner owns the bar next door(cheeky monkeys)... you have servers floating around the floor to take your order and bring it to you.. when bowling you can bowl as many games unless if they are at high demand, then there is a 2 game limit ; pretty fare. The lanes are very oiled. Good time and good vibes. I recommend!!
Ana Vallejo
Loved that we could play pool or switch to bowling so easily. What I probably love the most though, and what makes me want to come back is a clean place with happy employees. I mean, they didn't look like they were fed up with their job. They were nice to us and had smiles on their faces almost the whole time. Also, the place was clean. Taken care of. You can only keep a place looking like that when your employees care about the place. Because then your clientele will care, too. Definitely recommend and definitely coming back.
Lisa K
A lot of fun. If you're a quiet type of person I recommend going early afternoon. The later it gets the louder it gets.
Ryan Anderson
Such a fun place!! From bowling to videos games and shooting poo and morel. What else could you ask. Well the food is pretty great too! I highly recommend hanging out here. Great for large groups
Deeksha Juneja
We played in the arcade. The place was relatively empty and we went on Tuesday which was 50% off I think. We had a lot of fun. I would definitely go back again. The drinks a little over prices but the whole experience was great.
Adam Cole
I go here once a year for a recurring private event. We rent out the 3rd floor. The bar staff is great. The bowling alleys are in great condition but could use balls with normal sized finger holes. They're either way too big or weirdly small. Very few fit most hands well. Really like what they've done with the back room though!
Josh Stevens
Lucky Strike was always a great place to gather with a group of friends or a work party. With the recent overhaul of floor 2's arcade center, it's even better. You can easily kill an afternoon or low-key night if drinks and games. Saw plenty of kids too, so family friendly. Nice mix or arcade games like racers and shooters and tickets granting machines if that's more your speed.
Michelle Stolwyk
Great place for large groups! Has a little bit of everything - bowling, pool, TVs everywhere, lounge area, dancing. The bartenders are hit or miss, but to their credit one of them made the best Tom Collins I've ever had and it's my go-to cocktail.
Gotti 223
Great Place for any occasion. Huge arcade, a bar on both floors, Pool tables, last but not least bowling. There is a good time for all ages. After 8pm it is 21+
Amirali Jazayeri
it is a perfect place for hanging up with your friends or family. There is bunch of activities like pool tables, Bowling, computer games, ... you can spend hours in this place.
I didn't try any food there, but they smell good.
John Hind
This is a really cool location, right next to Fenway. Has a couple floors, one floor has bowling and billiards, the other floor has arcade games. Although a very nice place, I probably would think twice before going back due the incredibly horrible service. I was there with my son and we were literally the only customers at this time (off season/weekday/later afternoon). The waitress lollygagged with the bartenders and other servers and jammed out on her phone vs. checking on us for the usual drink refills, etc. I almost got up and went to the bar myself for a drink, but I waited so long that my meal was finished and didn't feel like spending another penny here.
Sabrina Nazario
Bowling was fun, but the arcade qas even better
Nick Waffleson
I am not much of a bar person and mainly played games with my friends. They don't have many good arcade games and the fun ones go though your card balance quickly. I would rather go to a classic arcade.
Carlos Perez
Two floors of fun. Second floor is a bar and arcade games. A lot of games to choose from. Third floor is pool and bowling with a food and a bar. It's great fun. And it's a good place to hang out with family or even just friends
Matthew
Environment and games are super fun. Not many staff but that's not a big deal as I always go to hang with friends and play games.
Sam Archer
Great place for a group bowling outing. Pretty "cosmic" but not as loud as the other downtown competition; you can talk to each other without screaming.
Keep in mind when you look at the bill that you're not only paying for lanes, shoes, and food, you're also paying for downtown Boston rent. If you're really just in it to hit the pins, look outside of downtown and you might be able to find a cheaper deal at a more traditional sort of bowling alley; but this is a pretty nice centrally located place for some grown up entertainment.
Bernard Lin
First visit here. First hour or so was absolutely mesmerized by the different games (most were kinda eh games, but I havent been in an arcade since I was like 8 max). Pool and bowling lounge area is pretty nice. I can only imagine repeat coming here to pool with friends.
Drew Appling
Multiple floors, bowling, billiards, arcade cabinets, came here for a party during a convention and want disappointed. Great selection of arcade cabinets, lots of retro games on newer cabinets as well as new games. The bowling lanes are great, shoes are also in decent shape. They have a great selection of drinks.
The King.
The best place to hang out in Massachusetts by a mile. Vibes are immaculate
Janani Damodaran
Had a great time at the arcade. Bowling set up was brilliant
Leanne Vieira
Recommended for adults; children can go as well however I feel it's a place for adults to be kiddos again!
If ordering alcoholic beverages you must order food ( the chicken nachos are a must order)
Kevin Montoya
Games are cool but the bar and service pretty much stink. Must be some burnout from the Sox crowd. I once waited 45 minutes to an hour for a dessert. Nachos are good though, had a pretty good portion.
Kevin Ambadan
Very nice place to go to even on a weekday night. They have bowling, pool and table tennis, with good drinks and delicious food. I recommend the buffalo chicken wrap! The only thing that is a minor hassle is finding parking at night, but the doorman was happy to inform us where we could curbside park without trouble.
Roxanne Alford
They recently added arcade games to their list of fun things to do at Lucky Strike. It's amazing and there's lots to do while you're waiting for a lane. The food is okay (nothing to die for)-- it could be better. They don't have a cocktail menu and that could be improved upon.
Shikhar Bhargava
Great Experience ! Although I loved it, I honestly expected a little more from an arcade. I can't put that into words but its worth going to find out ;)
Lyle Chausse
We were there in 2016. It was a special time. This place was unbelievably fun. Bowling, video games. Full bar. Menu. Great atmosphere. In an old building and really well put together. A great night was had with solid people. Wish we had photos but the memories are there. Won’t forget it.
Damon Pinkard
Lots of cool things going on here we had a great time and good drinks... Staff was great...
Vicky Hu
I have to say that I really like Jillian's. The place is big and spacious. The service is often friendly and quick. there was only one instance where the waitress wasn't too friendly but we didn't stay long anyways so it didn't matter.
Get the appetizers. They're so good. Portion size is fair as well. Definitely a place to return to with groups of friends.
PLUS, they have HUGE screen TVS to watch games and such!!
Jillian Burgess
Great places to spend time with friends or family playing pool or bowling. They have about 30 pool tables and a number of bowling lanes. Late nights will likely have a few hours wait on tables and lanes since you can play as long as you want and just pay an hourly rate. They only have about 6-8 typical draught beers on tap which come in plastic cups. The bar service can be slow at times, especially during the day/early evening time.
Chip Mathis
Hard not to enjoy an adult arcade with alcoholic beverages. Not a very large selection of games but it was fun.
Lolitha Sreshta
Highly recommend this place. The service was good, and fortunately, the wait time was less when we went there. Would go bowling again at this place. Thank you.
Gautham Sundararajan
Amazing place to have fun with friends. Has a great bowling alley with bar and food (the exposed brick building and the lighting here is awesome). Very close to Fenway Park. This place also has a great gaming (computer) place which can be great fun with friends.
Timothy Taker
Loads of fun, strong drinks and plenty of games. The arcade credits seem to stretch pretty far too. The food was great, and the staff was entertaining to say the least.
garry nolan
Fantastic family afternoon. Bowling was fun then the games downstairs, 100x better and cheaper games arcade than dave & busters.
Staff members were super friendly and extremely courteous. Will be returning
Good Guy
Food was good, once we stole silverware from another table...And after waiting for 25 mins when slow for a waitresses. Especially loved being asked about the service when the tip was seen. Although it was a bit pricey bowling was fun and saved the night.
Sharon Shaji
Food, drinks and games to play. The best combination. They have bowling alley, pool tables, dart(which was closed for renovation though) and an arcade center in the floor below. Friendly and helpful staff. The also have live football games.
I am Naj
Had a lot of fun here. Went for a company outing, and I'm definitely going back for a night out with friends. Bowling will never get old. Great place for kids and adults. Highly recommended it.
Eshwar P
Excellent place with lanes, pool and arcade games. Food is ok. We enjoyed very well. Arcade games are pretty good with 3d and 4d as well.
They have bunch of pool tables.
I would definitely recommend this place.
Staff is very friendly and great service.
christine pirog
Great place to go and have a fun time. Chris was an awesome host.
Ali Tubaishat
This is an awesome, well-rounded place for entertainment. You have everything from arcade games, to bowling, to pool, and to events & a bar if you drink. Really great place ; makes a great date night
Brian White
Multi-level space with plenty of activities (pool, bowling, darts, arcade). Never gets very crowded. This is good place for a private event or wholesome hangout. If you're trying to get crazy on a Saturday night, look elsewhere on Lansdowne.
Anthony Hernandez
Very good bowling spot has a huge bar 3 stories the arcades room was huge the bowling area was big and the pool tables are nice but this place can be very packed so make sure you have a back up plan
chrisrogers24
My best friend his girlfriend & myself had dinner here last night. The food was very good (although very typical pub food). As for some of the staff, I'm not going into too much detail. I personally don't like standing around watching tv or occasionally using my phone for any or NO particular reason at all. I understand its a popular spot at night and day and the fact that it's a restaurant..in general! If I was doing nothing (to very little) at any popular restaurant "big chain or not" I would get talked to, about not getting tasks done. The supervisors or any immediate mangers wouldn't be very happy. You don't get paid to stand around and stare at screens all evening/day. The end..
oh socute
There is only 2 Bartenders on Saturday night on Bowling level. Bowling always fun
Pete Troop
I will say every thing was great. However our server Michele was not too friendly and didn't have much in the way of manners. She didn't make much small talk beyond asking what we wanted to eat and then leaving.
Claire Kinder
Great updated bowling alley! Bar has a good selection of beer and cocktails, and there are some good lounge a throughout. Bar snacks are decent... Nothing fancy... Classic fried food options
Shane Johnson
Seems like a really fun place to go and hang out but I only gave it four stars because the food service was a little slow and the size of the burgers me and my friends had what kind of on the small side for the price LOL but overall I would recommend it to a friend
DKS
Bowling alley probably one of the best aesthetically I've ever been to. Fenway park is viewable while bowling and the atmosphere is good. The only drawback is the price. 112 for 5 bowlers for 2 games.
Schallum Dorleans
Lucky strike is definitely a place to relax. Bowling on the top floor with some pool table. Then second floor is the gaming center. With nice variety from classic game like pacman to connect four, shooter games, to racing games. Air hockey to skee-ball. Drinks are alright. Personally I Would stick to getting beers. Overall it's a great time.
James Osborne
Great selection of events and activities to choose from! 3 floors consisting of everything from Sports bar to Bowling alley to a kids arcade to a Lounge section. Best place I could possibly imagine for Catching the big sports Games!
Old man 617
Great atmosphere, lots of games and food and drinks. A good time
Samuel Lockwald
Had a great time, limited beer selection and not the best cocktails. The staff had some difficulty with special requests on food orders. However the set up is great and we had a lot of fun.
Patrick Kilcullen
Awesome place. Lots of games on the 2nd floor, decent bowling lanes and pool tables on the 3rd. Haven't really tried the food or drink yet, aim to soon.
Jose Cordero
Amazing place to have some fun.
Jennifer Moseley
The food is okay, not fantastic. The bowling lanes are in decent condition. The drinks are on the pricier end.We went for a pre-arranged birthday party which ended up costing much more than they had quoted us.
Conor Galligan
Nice lanes, decent food and drink selection, but kind of a weird feel. With the club on the lower levels and bouncers at various doors and entrances, it isn't as comfortable as your classic hometown bowling alley.
Malikav Anon
Enjoyable atmosphere with great food and plentiful seating. Great place to have a medium to large sized event or just hang out and bowl with a few friends. Prices were reasonable for the area, and serving staff was curtious and prompt. The one downside like anywhere else in Boston is limited parking. IF YOU PARK ACROSS THE STREET IN THE RESIDENTIAL PARKING YOU WILL BE TICKETED OR TOWED.
Aditi Thakur
Amazing arcade area and the bowling area is lit! Good good and drink choices too.
Fatma C
Been there so many times and it's nice if you are craving to play pool, ping pong or bowling. But it's often empty and with no ambiance at all. They also ask for your passport in the door. So don't forget to bring your passport with you.
Pat 13
Very clean atmosphere, nice place to hang out, but it can become pretty expensive, since they charge you per person and game instead of per lane and hour. So better play less and chat more, because here it's more about hanging out than playing - at least according to their price policy
Eric Leshay
Company rents out the top floor every year for a party. Great room, bowling with a pool room in the back. Good fun but needs a better beer and mixed drink selection.
Shravan Sivakumar
A good bowling alley with a bar and some nice food. Tried the Caribbean sliders which were nice.
Davide Villa
Nice place! Just be aware that on the weekend it gets really crowded and there might be queues at some games.
Mark Harrington
I really love this place and will keep coming back. It’s a cheap venue where you can get drinks and play fun games like skii ball and zombie shooting. The mac and cheese bites are also amazing.
My only criticism is that when you call the phone number you get a directory and management or the desk it was transferred to didn’t pick up. I lost my debit card and was trying to see if they had it. I called for the first two days and then ended up submitting an inquiry on their site. They got back to me days later from the website inquiry saying they had it but by that time I already ordered a new one. Yes, it’s my fault for losing the card but this happens all the time so people should be able to quickly chat with someone to see if it’s there without having to go back to the establishment.
Benjamin Wong
Have been here several times both for the pool and the bowling. The reason for the 3 star is that their service could be better and their dress code is weird. Why can't I wear shorts in the summer? It's not like its a full club/bar. Its a bowling ally!
Kristy Thibodeau
Fun place to do things besides just hang out at a bar. Has several floors including 10 pin bowling and billiards. Food is bar food, nothing to write home about. Drinks are fairly overpriced due to it's primo location next to Fenway. Fun atmosphere, good for large parties or corporate events.
Andrea White
I gave 3 stars because our family did have a great time and the atmosphere was pretty cool. BUT it cost almost $100 for one game for 9 people, maybe that isn’t much for a big city but it seemed a bit pricey to us. Our biggest complaint was stuffing our entire family of 9 onto one lane because the other half of the alley was “reserved”. And then hearing from our lane mates that they had called the day before to reserve lanes for their family and were told they do not take reservations. I will say this was hearsay from others but I believe it because of how upset they were. I appreciate honesty or explanation in these instances. Also $7 a beer and no pitchers was a little annoying. Work on a couple things and this place would be a diamond in the rough.
Alec Loudenback
This is one of those places that's a crowd pleaser because it has a little bit of everything. But it doesn't stand out in any single way - I've had more fun at bowling/billiards elsewhere, the drink list is standard, and the food has that peculiar quality of being good but never great. Plus everything is priced on the higher side. If you want bowling, I've heard Kings is better. If you want food or drink, cross the Pike to Commonwealth ave and get away from the most of the overpriced-for-what-it-is Fenway food.
Adam Lopez
Fun place to relax and have enjoy with your friends. Arcade games from your childhood and more. Bar is good and so are the apps! Highly recommend for friend reunions
Caden R
Great arcade. Has a bar/restaurant. Lots of fun games. And a bowling alley. Definitely recommend.
Dorian Guilliard
My go to place for when I want to have a few drinks and hit up a arcade. The sweet chilli wings there are AWESOME and they close at 2 a.m which is later than any other arcade/bowling alley
Snowpea Soup
Very popular but Overrated and Crowded. Don't expect to bowl its a 2hr+ wait most nights. It's like a mini casino w games on another level. Drinks r good.
Nishant Kelkar
Good place to hangout with friends. Recently renovated 3 levels. Something for everyone. Bowling, Arcade Games, Pool tables and many more. Good selection of beer. Food is also tasty.
Anderson Nance
3 stars for the entertainment factor and the good time we had but the service was piss poor. Bartenders ignore you and I'm an adult I can tell when someone is pretending they dont see you hoping someone else comes over to help you. I'm a bigger guy you cant miss me when we are 5 feet apart and I'm flagging you down. At least say I'll be right with you or something.
Sean Brennan
Danielle is awesome. Best bartender ever!
Yaritza Arias
It was crazy fun. Lots of games and the food was great. They also had a cleaning crew walking around all night making sure everything was sanitized.
Colin Ferguson
The food and beer selection is pretty mediocre and the seating arrangement in the bowling lanes forces you to squeeze by people every time it's your turn. The arcade however is top-notch.
Robert Sears
Great place to visit if you’re in the Fenway area or even Boston in general! They have both bowling and games. The games room is comparable with a Dave & Buster’s size, perhaps a tad smaller- but that does mean less of a selection to an extent. They have many more gimmicky and genetic games like the football fires one, piano keys, and fruit ninja (except Kung-Fu Panda version I believe). At the same time they also have classics like Mario Kart, Ski-Ball, Hoops, and more. All in all pretty good selection for games. They have tickets and prizes which, like most other places, you need to hit the jackpot to get any of the valuable prizes- so no difference from most prize kiosks there.
Oh and they have bowling. Haven’t tried it, but definitely worth mentioning!
Definitely looking forward to going back when I return home to Mass!
Jacquelyn Wentworth
Great bowling, great arcade! Super fun for groups! If only they had vegetarian/vegan options for the food they serve other than that perfect place to go for a fun night out!
Michael Niehaus
Great place to bowl. Fun hip and lively. Food and drinks are mediocre at best, but tge atmosphere is not what bowling used to be. Had a good time.
Matt Telage
Stopped in on a rainy marathon monday with a big group. Originally we were planning on playing pool but found that the second floor had been changed to an arcade. We had just as much fun playing fooseball and pop a shot basketball. We shared a bunch of apps to pass which were all good and had some beers at the bar. It's a bit on the expensive side but nothing outrageous for the Fenway area.
Ediri Metitiri
So many fun games to play. I had a great time on my birthday with my siblings!
kadasen miller
Danielle is a great worker, her customer service was awesome!
Kham Inthirath
Great looking bowling alley for adults amd large place for lounging, but the food is not that good, and mix drinks are poor. The drinks had very little alcohol and/or tastes more of the mixer. For example a rum and coke was basically drinking water down coke.
Ava Mirley
This place is absolutely sick! It's so amazing, 1 floor full of games and stuff, think Dave and Busters, another floor with amazing bowling (atomic) and pool tables, sooooo worth the trip, just remember 2 bring ur wallet cuz it's pricey! Great date spot or party place!
Bhekinkosi Sibanda
5 stars. Didn't know about this place before and I had a wonderful time. Definitely gonna come back here again. The drinks are pretty affordable and there's plenty of great games to explore.
Wyatt Pearson
What's not to love? It's a bar-cade. The bowling is good too. They could easily do with serving less for drinks, but they keep em at Boston night life prices.
Aaron Stier-Cohen
Come pretend you're on a date from heartstopper hehehe
ohm hareesh kundurthy
Huge place with 15 bowling lanes, multiple tv screens(giant ones) showing live sports , and 6-8 pool tables and bartenders who serve you drinks at your lanes.. the bowling lane specific screens show you hints on your second attempt on how to bowl to strike ..!!
Jeff Spires
Big warehouse of multi-floor bowling. Atmosphere is nice, but the lanes are not impressive. Difficult to find a ball that fits average size hands (M & F). Servers are attentive. Little else to do but bowl and drink. Right across the street from Fenway Park.
Tony Chea
It’s a good place to take a date. Arcade games, pool, bowling and the service was quick and diligent in getting what you want for food and drinks. Be prepared to spend some money at the arcade because it’s addicting.
MstrFantastic
had a company party here. It went great! The food they provided was really good and the private room for the company was huge with pool tables, foosball, Wii and Xbox with Kinect. We also had 4 lanes reserved for bowling, which was great as well. Only down side was some semi slow service, but then again there were a lot of us.
William “Bill” Eroh
The venue is great. When we went there was a 3 hour wait to bowl which stunk, but we then headed to the arcade/bar which was a ton of fun. I will be heading there again.
Ken Boostrom
We had our company party there and everyone had a great time. There pool tables in the rear of the building, and the front is just crazy with huge games. There was like an 8-foot Galaxa wall!
Eleanor Johnson
Very nice vibe inside. I love it when bowling alleys have arcades in addition to the lanes. The bar didn't have a huge amount of options, but it's convenient.
Neal Singleton
Went for a work event and had a blast. There are two floors with plenty of lanes, pool tables, and a bar (of course). Lots of lounge seating around. A great place to hang out.
전예헌
It feels classy. Yet it's not too expensive. There is an arcade gaming place on the 2nd floor. The couches next to the bowling alley are comfortable
Pineapple Pizza
Extremely fun only downside is a really long wait for bowling or pool (3+hrs) call ahead of time if you want one of those but arcade is great.
Darya Ciardiello Camacci
So much fun for a night out with coworkers or friends! They serve alchohol on the expensive side although if you are up for a fun bowling night out, this is a cool place to try!
Jackie T
Fun bowling! But during our large party, staff removed unfinished drinks which padded the bill (we just ordered more instead of complaining). Maybe next time I will take my drink to the bathroom and on the lane haha. Just watchout.
Marcello Rusciano
It's a big complex with 3 floors. It's located in the middle of Fenway. There are many things to have fun: many billiards' table, 10 bowling lanes, some foosballs and videogame. Actually I have found also a ping pong table, that's amazing because I love ping pong. When I went I took an hamburger and it was pretty good, full of french fries for 15.00 $. Avoid to go in weekend evening, too crowded.

Went to Jillian’s arcade last night and had an amazing experience thanks to the night manager, Jeff. We were looking for the white Light Fury plush in the prize area and two of the Jillian’s employees said they did not have it. They didn’t seem to either understand what we were asking or even care to look for it so we decided to exchange our tickets for a different prize. In a last ditch effort to find the white dragon to go with our night Fury we won previously, I asked another employee who (finally) checked in the back and brought it out. I was so extactic, we asked to return the other prize and get this one instead. The employee told us prizes were final sale and I was devastated. But I didn’t take that as an answer because the other employees were the ones who said they didn’t have it anymore, so it wasn’t our fault. The manager over heard this and immediately diffused the situation by letting me use his ticket card to get the Light Fury. One of the best customer service experiences I’ve had. He definitely knows how to make his customers happy and be a good manager. Thanks again Jeff!
Krysta Sullivan
The bar was terrible. The bartender seemed as though he didnt want to be there. Slammed napkins down and got us the check after we ordered one drink... the arcade was cool tho.
Sina Mostaghimi
Cool bowling alley and arcade downstairs. Great lounging area and place for groups. Bartender day I was there was a little ride but otherwise a great time.
Yohan Torres
Amazing place , had some many levels of fun things to do !
Mark Polomski
$6 Per game - not bad. Food is ok. Big selection of beers, though the ones on tap were kind of flat.
Fun place.
Reginald Amons
Danielle was awesome friendly, fun, fast
Great service
Joshua Saunders
Absolutely amazed at the value of the arcade games. Spent just over $50. My friend and I played games for 3 hours! Drinks were well priced too.
Eric Dykstra
Went for a work event. Game selection is good. AC seemed taxed even for a fairly cool day.
It's the kind of place you'll like if you like this sort of place.
Th dricks
This place is Blow Away fun there's pool tables bowling alleys in the dark game rooms air hockey pinball skeet ball you name it, bars, sofas, lounge chairs, definitely a place to party no kids after 8. Age group 20 to 35 after 8pm
Gilles Biagomba
We spent $40 playing arcades it was amazing. Only thing is I wish when you sign up for a table it told you can request an extension if you can't come right away
Wendy Robertson
We love it here! Staff is super friendly and the decoration has a really good vibe to it. Hubby and I are trying to get a regular group together on weekends for the summer.
Ravshan Rakhimov
Great spot to hang out before the game.
OC Supreme
Lots of lanes for a maximum amount of fun. Pool tables and a few more lanes in another floor. Waitstaff were very pleasant. Atmosphere was cool.
Rahul Moodgal
Awesome in every way! Great atmosphere, facilities and food. Only complaint is they did not accept foreign ID in any form other than passports and so we could not drink!
Yinle Xu
Good place for group party.
Andrew Rybczynski
Punches up your typical bar games scene. The second floor is a riot of lights, colors, and simulated action. An arcade with drinks, basically. The third floor boasts bowling, pool, and darts, with a back "pool room" that's relatively quiet. The food and drinks are nothing to write home about, but who cares about that if you're having fun?
Pratip Banerji
High end bowling alley, with pool tables and food. The bowling alley caters to individuals and corporate events. Food is above average for a bowling alley and the service is pretty good.
Thomas Creasy
Plenty of activities to indulge in. $6 12oz can of sam seasonal and mediocre food. The attentive staff helps. A great place to kill some time before or after the Sox game.
Mason
Rented it out for a private venue, everything was great!
They had nice catering services and also great bowling lanes.
I would come back again anytime.
Theodore Dellas
Food wasn’t bad. Prices were decent to go during the day but at night I could imagine this place being overly packed. Still a pretty good atmosphere
Christophe Sperandio
Nice bar, with a lot of space and where you can have fun playing pool or bowling. Beers are ok, meals are pretty good too.
Michael Andryuk
A great place for arcade games, billiards, and bowling in the hottest neighborhood of Boston. Jillian's is a great spot for tourists, locals, or people with a little time before a Sox game.
Kirthana G
Had the chance to celebrate a friend’s reunion! Excellent selection of arcade games! Very entertaining and wide drink and bar food selection
Just JP
They need to update a their bowling balls and some upholstery. Their burgers are great and their fries are average. Staff is nice, bathrooms are tiny and very uncomfortable.
B c
Best venue in the Fenway area, if not Boston.
From the prices and selection on the menu and at the bar, to multiple levels of entertainment, exceptional location & customer service...
The Quality of my experiences at this venue cannot be beat!!!
Paula Raben
Staff kinda sucks, overpriced. Service is very poor. The experience itself is fun. Good bowling and great arcades. Very pricey.
Elena Cañadas
Very nice game arkade, pool tables for social intertaiment. Food and drinks are okish... A bit pricy. Nice location, but hard to find parking as a lot of only residents places.
Benjamin Conine
We really enjoyed this place. Brought my girl out here for a last minute date and we had a great time. Its a bit pricey compared to Free Play in providence but thats Boston.
Ian Persaud
Fun place to kill some time, have a drink, watch the game passively and chill. Music isn't too loud but it's dope. Just a little pricey on the drinks.
Kamlesh Chhetty
Nice place with good ping pong tables, bowling and pool tables. Food selection and drinks menus were also nice. Parking is a pain though
Michael Edwards
Has a huge old fashion game room pool tables for$15/hr bar on the one level I was on, nice atmosphere but a bit too pricey for me.
Kevin Murcia
No kids allowed lmao.
Maddie DT
Love the variety of games. Drinks are weak and overpriced. Bartenders are not good at keeping tabs and most are not very pleasant; very serious.
Santiago Burgos
You can get a lot of fun , although it is pretty expensive.
Nick Bodell
This has regular bowling. Not candlepin bowling. Don't be a bad tourist like me! Do your research! Pretty cool spot otherwise just not what I was looking for.
Brian Hall
Highly recommend, but plan ahead as the wait for bowling can be extremely long. But playing pool or getting food is a good way to kill time
Paul Desmond
The only bad thing about the place is how hot it is on the first floor I have to shower when I get home.
Tsotlhe Ditlhako
It gets very busy, didn't get a chance to bowl but the arcade was awesome..customer service at the bar was excellent..will definitely be going again..
Nikolin Ropi
The bartender was alone and it was alot of us so we had to wait for along time. It's definitely a good spot. I would go back
Kristine Ware
So much fun, great atmosphere, and food! Will visit often!
Rachel Cohen
Good bowling, pool and food but slow service. We had to go to the bar to order drinks with a large party and our table was not bussed.
Kevin Hensdill
I took a large group of people (25) here. They said they had a great time. Being right next to Fenway, I was surprised there weren't more people. There wasn't a game going on, maybe that's why...
Michael Placella
Awesome spot for fun! Has it all. P.S. there are additional pool tables & darts & shuffleboard behind the bowling lanes!
S R
Great crowd. Good for groups. I've been to this place several times both with friends and co workers. Great food, atmosphere and location.
Sheroneik Huggins
haven't been in years and had sooo much fun!! Drinks were a bit weak but a nice establishment
Lauren D
It's not a real bowling alley. Minimal room and lanes, stuff was stuck in the ball and no laneside service, but the machines worked nicely and the bar was cool.
Alejandro Rodríguez
So fun! Full of pools, bowling and tvs! Perfect place to have fun with your friends playing games and having some beers!
iSantoS
Great place for boiling but feel little expensive cuz you have to pay for the game and pay extra for shoe. Great service and good food and onion ring is the best. Aug 15.
Charles T
Great place for hanging out with friends. They've got bowling, pool, a bar, and lots of seating. Great place for a company outing too!
Maria Nadeau
Definitely a must-see for any non-locals visiting Boston with their friends. A fun night is guaranteed
perry coleman
Very fun
Rob Nordberg
Fun place, gets crowded on weekends and is a bit pricey for food and drinks. Bowling is great, I won a party there for getting a strike with the Red Pin in front of all the other pins.
Andy Wong
Confirmed with a staff that I wanted a Guinness on tap but I could tell it was poured from a can. Bowling was a little expensive but I won my group so no qualms or anything.
Tom Bocco
Had a great time there chris made it a good time
Ethan Paulson
Fun atmosphere, a big bar and seating area, and great bowling. Great hang out spot and always a nice place to hang with a few friends and bowl.
Naved Ansari
Great place with a lot of pool tables, arcade games , bowling alley and food. Even on a Friday night it was easy to get a pool table.
Kishore
Bowling balls with deep scratches and dents. Atleast one lane wasn't straight out flat.
The arcade has a huge selection and is great.
Michael Talanian
I don't bowl often, but seemed overpriced? Also had a hard time finding a ball less than 15 pounds that fit my fingers
Desmond Evans
Good place for a date or just to relax with good vibes, games, and food
Audrey V
Great for bowling. Waiters/waitresses are hit and miss. Had fantastic ones and ones that are no where to be found. Food average.
Michael M
It was an ok place to hangout, the club is so boring and plays terrible music. Manager was very helpful and understading to some miner bill issues we had.
Karan Modi
Had Fun with Arcade Games but very disappointed with bowling. There were almost no good balls to bowl. Waste of money I felt.
Dan Radosavljevic
Good place to stop by before Red Sox game. Older pool tables but nice setting for the group of friends or colleagues.
Anh Phuong Le
Great experience. The bites are good and the place is clean.
Matthew McLean
Neat place to bowl. On a friday night this place has had up to a 2 hour wait. It can get pretty crazy. This is a lot of fun to try out a few times.
Victoria Flynn
BEST $5 FRENCH FRIES. We ended a night out at Jillians and moved upstairs to Lucky Strike after a while, where I discovered the BEST french fries. $5 for a HUGE basket of piping hot fries delivered to our lanes at 1 AM. And the bowling lanes were nice--no major mechanical issues or computer hold-ups. I couldn't find a convenient rack of balls to exchange the massive 15lb-ers and 8lb-ers with finger holes for pixies, but we managed.
Philip rolle
Great atmosphere, but the bowling aspect was terrible. The lanes had no oil and the balls felt like all of the throw always from other bowling alleys.
Jason Robinson
Fun place. Pool, bowling, arcade games. and drinks of course. 3 levels. Only one ping pong table. Go next door for that.
Courtney Ackerman
I have been to Jillian's for a number of different types of events. It's your quintessential Boston bar. Good bar food, good drinks, huge spot with lots of different options for entertainment (bowling, pool, foosball, ping pong) and you really can't beat the location! If you are in the Fenway area, either at a Red Sox game or just wanting to go out in that area, definitely make a stop at Jillian's!! It's a Boston must!
04Jayden15 10lee08
It's very cool and laid back and you can have a lot of fun either playing pool bowling or the club...I live that type of environment
zenaida Gonzalez
It was awesome until the fire alarm went off.
shriti jaiswal
Clean, spacious and nice arena for entertainment. Lacks parking space around the area.
Cindy Vongsenesouk
Cool spot to hang for a big party or date!! they have bowling, pool tables, and an arcade. Would def come again!!
James Lantry
A little bit of everything. Bar was packed so service was a little slow. Arcade area smells of bleach at first but you do get used to it. Expect a long wait on the weekend if you want to bowl.
Swaroop Shankar
Good place but terrible service. The staff is overworked and uninterested.
Brian Bielskie
Awesome atmosphere, friendly staff, great service!
Bowling balls might be a little hard to find one in your size but everything else is exceptional
Sumit Gupta
Pretty cool place to hangout and spend your friday night at! May be they can improve their food options but overall a good place!
Aaron Bowen
The games were fun, although not particularly high quality (broken darts, uneven bowling lane, that kind of thing), the service was trash across the board, the atmosphere was mildly lively (it was Saturday night).
Albert Lee
Great place to have some fun with your friends; play bowling and arcade games. Pretty huge venue.
Ken Holmes
Duckie was an excellent help. We had a very slight issue and he was with to respond and rectify.
Nathan Towne-smith
Nice place. Right near Fenway Park. Friendly staff. Comfy seating. A little crowded around the lanes. Otherwise it's quite open.
