Dani’s Strike Zone

I love this place. It’s a great place for the family.
The prices are affordable and you can bring in food from outside without any hassle from the staff.
Great low key place with free parking.

Absolutely love this place and love how low key and type of crowd. Not too crazy and not too boring. It’s just cool and chill. It’s divey but a whole lot of fun. Staff are wonderful and attentive. Facilities are well cleaned and food is okay. In addition to all of this I was able to find a bowling bowl that my fingers can fit into. Every time I go to a bowling alley, I always have trouble finding a ball with my finger size because my fingers are too thick. Great place and definitely recommend.

This bowling alley is literally 3 minutes from my house in Cambria heights.
Its a great spot for some affordable fun with friends and family and even a cute date. The food could use some improvement but you can bring in some Chinese food fr next door, they won’t give you a hard time.
Each game is about $ 5 dollars and the shoe rental is around $ 3 – 4 bucks! You can’t beat that!
The drinks are pretty cheap at around $ 4 – 8 dollars. Get the bottled wine. Again you can BYOB they are pretty laid back about outside foods and drinks even though they say not to.
There’s even a cute arcade area for the kids or adults whom like to have fun!
I love this bowling alley! Besides the old school décor I think its a great family spot!

The place is big. They have an arcade room with a couple of pinball machines and about 3 or 4 vintage games but it’s also very hot in there. They have food your typical stuff like burgers, chicken, pizza, French fries, pricing is reasonable. The food was actually pretty good and I didn’t expect it to be so that’s a plus. They also have a full bar. The only thing I didn’t like is that we had to keep hunting someone down to order food and drinks and at one point we waited over 30 minutes before the guy came back. I just think when an establishment has customers there should be workers manning the food and beverage counters. They also have another room that has pool tables, air hockey, and table hockey. Besides that, the lanes were well kept and we had a really nice time. A must to go with the family, date or friends nite out. Cash only place.

I am sorry, but I thought we live in 21^st century and paying with credit card is a normal thing. However, in this place they are stuck in time. Literally… The place is really old and shaky. The bowling balls are really old and missing a lot of numbers…
In Moscow I remember I paid per hour and played as many games as I wanted. Here you have to pay per game and per person. Also they charge for the shoes.
I am sorry maybe my standards are too high, but that’s what I saw in MOSCOW (Russia) so I was hoping New York can do at least as good…
The place was almost empty and there was no music.
The only thing that made it fun to be there is that I wasn’t alone.

Been living in elmont about 4 months now, working here about 3 years and never knew this place existed. In the past I’ve been a regular bowler and it’s been about 3 years since I last bowled. A friend invited me to Dani’s last night, needless to say I still got it! I’ll prove that in the pics that follow…
For starters this alley is very lowkey and set back in a little plaza it’s easy to miss which is cool to me. Walking in its straight to the point all you see is lanes, not a bunch though so you can imagine some nights are probably really packed and maybe not worth the wait. At any rate I approach the front desk speak to the guy to get the rundown, here’s how it goes.
$ 3.00 –games
$ 2.00– shoes
$ 3.00– beers
$ 5.50-$ 11.00 hard drinks
ALL CASH EVERYTHING!
Seems like this is a regular price list so that’s the best part about it. The worst part is damn near every TV had wrestling on when there were 3 NBA games on last night (Thursday) the visual priorities were all screwed up. Another drawback was the holes on the balls were a little too small for my fingers even on the 14 pound ball. When those are the biggest problems you know the place is dope. I’ll be back every Thursday more than likely to get my game tight again. My homegirl probably won’t, she had a terrible showing on the lanes, she talked so much smack too!
Said all that to say… Y’all should hit up Dani’s whenever you’re around elmont and tryna find something simple to do. Hit me up if you wanna lose, open invitations to all challengers.
PS… Brie said to use more paragraphs in my reviews… Happy now sucka?!?

I had a great experience. The place wasn’t crowded and my friend and I had a great time. The bathrooms are also clean like they should be. They only drawback is they don’t accept cards they have to catch up with the times and start doing that.

It’s a small little alley but it doesn’t take away from the fun at all. Its very family oriented so brings the kids along. I believe it’s 12 – 13 bucks a round if I remember correctly.

We love Dani’s — it looks small but has a nice crowd, good for family and friends. The employees are nice and the bathrooms decent. Their fries are great too.

I’ve been to Dani’s numerours times!
Since County lane (or Country. whatever it was) shut down there really are no other local bowling spots to hit up. Everything is super far from me… except Dani’s!
So close and it’s pretty much in the cut so it doesn’t really get too crowded. It has a tiny arcade, plenty of lanes, and a food area. Decent people and I NEVER encounter any riff raff here.
The workers are cool. The shoes are typical smelly bowling shoes and it isn’t too expensive. Decently priced and definitely a good time.
Sometimes theres music. sometimes there isn’t. I think it depends on the night and the time and all that.
If you’re looking for a chill night of bowling this is def the spot to go to.

I came here for my friends Christmas party. She works at this bowling alley and every year they have an annual holiday party I should say. I think it’s so wonderful that the managers do this for their employees. They let the workers bring a guest or two as well (aka me), and we get to bowl for free. I’ve always had a great time here despite my passionate hate for bowling. Therr are many lanes, awesome lighting, and a consession stand with typical bowling alleging food. I know beer is available, but I’m not sure about liquor. If your looking for a local bowling alley, hit up Dani’s. It looks tiny from outside but its not!
