![]() ![]() There’s just one thing it’s not good for: bowling. If we’re getting serious, you might even linger in the back with a group until 2:30 a.m. You might grab a quick glass of wine at the copper bar. You could, for example, come in with a friend and grab one of the tiny, crowded-together tables in the front and share a steak frites - there isn’t really room for two plates on the table anyway. We also like Lucky Strike because it works perfectly in a number of situations. In other words: one martini is actually approximately 1.5 martinis. And speaking of drinks, when you order a martini or old fashioned or other appropriately strong drink (this place has been around since 1989 but that doesn’t make it OK to order a Cosmopolitan), you get an extra tall glass with crushed ice, a strainer, and the remaining part of the cocktail that didn’t fit into the first glass. On our last visit, the soundtrack was an alternating rotation of Depeche Mode and Michael Jackson and every table had drinks on it despite it being early on a Monday night. Whatever the reason, we happen to like it a lot. Maybe that’s because people think it’s a bowling alley. Our state of the art sound, media and lighting was. Keith McNally opened Lucky Strike in 1989, and for some reason, it’s lesser known than its similarly long-lived McNally counterparts Balthazar, Schiller’s, and The Odeon. Luxury Strike Bowling is the first ever fully functional, mobile bowling alley and loft in the world. But if you’re looking for a French bistro in Soho that’s been open for 25 years where you can feel like you’re in one of the tame parts of a Bret Easton Ellis novel, read on. ![]() ![]() Office managers stressing over the plans for corporate happy hour, look elsewhere. Before you continue, let’s be clear about one thing - this is not a review for a bowling alley in Times Square. ![]()
