Strike EQ

Food here is very average, drinks are a bit pricey and not a great range, but it can be lots of fun for a night out with a group of friends.
My main tip is come here on a Wednesday, when you get a free game of bowling or laser tag with every food or drink item you buy for $ 6 or more!

Fun atmosphere with several different activities (laser tag, billiards) to stay occupied. I myself love bowling and would come on nights when you get cheaper games (either Tuesday or Wednesday). It’s a good time coming here with your gang, ordering some pizza, having a few drinks, and keeping track of who’s game does downhill as the drinks keep coming.

30 minutes until movie time, mild hunger that popcorn alone won’t fix. Overpriced and underwhelming restaurant options at Entertainment Quarter. Do strike bowling have food?
$ 10 pizza, sweet chilli chicken really hit the spot, much better than the $ 20 cheese pizza we were about to order from a ‘restaurant’ in EQ who didnt come over to take our order. Sure, strike bowling isnt going for sophisticated ambience, but when you are about to stuff your face with popcorn in the dark, who are we kidding. It all came quickly and they apologise for a wait (we hardly waited).
If you need a quick meal *cough* or drink *cough* at EQ this could be your place.

This was the first strike bowling in Sydney, and what an impact it has made. Combining bowling with a bar is such an awesome idea, I don’t know why someone didn’t think of it earlier? It has really brought bowling back as a night out. I first went here for a work Christmas party and it was so much fun. I’ve also been for a few drinks and a burger and some bowling, as well as with a private party.
The best part about it is that it’s not just bowling, the entry level is a bar with pool tables and arcade games and a dance floor. Upstairs is the bowling, and there is a bar at the end of the lanes, where you can also order food.
There’s also laser skirmish, which I am yet to try (it’s booked in for a friend’s birthday next month). As well as karaōke rooms (also yet to try and not likely to happen).
After 4pm it costs $ 16/​game, or $ 24 for two. On a Saturday night this goes up to $ 18/​game or $ 28 for two. Its cheaper during the day before 4pm ($ ¹⁴⁄₂₄) and for kids during school holidays ($ 8)
There’s also a bowl and blast combo, with 1 game of bowling and 1 game of skirmish for $ 20.

If you’ve ever felt like shooting your co-​workers, you might fancy booking your next corporate shindig at Strike. They have Lazer Skirmish! Now, I can’t say that I’ve actually tried it (I fear I might take it all too seriously and go postal… ahem), but I have been much more tame and just gone bowling.
Who doesn’t love bowling? Now come on, you might think it’s lame, or so 90s, but just grab some friends, some beers and a lane and try and tell me you’re not having fun.
I also see they have karaōke, but you’ll NEVER find me there. As far as I’m concerned, karaōke is one of Dante’s circles of hell… ahem.

My friend had a birthday party at the Strike Bowling Bar recently, which was pretty cool. I love a bit of the old ten pin, and I am also fond of a beer from time to time, so the idea of having a beer whilst bowling was a strike in my eyes.
We had beers and played pool downstairs before heading up to the alley and knocking down those pins, some better than others.
What I need to do in order to improve my game is work on not turning my wrist when I release the ball, I had a bit of trouble there, and my friends didn’t make it any better, but I reminded them, some of us may be in the gutter, but at least we’re looking for the spares.
Strike bowling is the perfect place to meet up with friends if you’re all keen on throwing large heavy balls down thin wooded aisles to hit a bunch of white pins. If that sounds like you, then this is the place for that. But what it also offers, apart from group packages and functions, is downstairs beside the bar they have a laser tag arena.
A simple game where you put on electronic vests and back packs and run around shooting each other through a dark and moody maze in some kind of, as the introduction video states, post apocalyptic world torn apart.
Between shooting friends with lasers, bowling gutter balls and drinking beer, Strike Bowling Bar offers a great and different night out.
