Strike Bowling Entertainment Quarter

Lang Road lanes inside the Entertainment Quarter

Moore Park light rail stop is roughly ten minutes on foot from this Strike, which occupies unit 207 of the Entertainment Quarter at 122 Lang Road. Drivers can use the precinct's own Lang Road car park, with around 2,000 bays: the first two hours cost nothing if you arrive before 6pm, and after that the charge is close to A$4 an hour.

Only eight bowling lanes are installed, two fewer than Strike runs at Macquarie or Chatswood. Much of the remaining floor goes to a laser tag arena that Strike says cost a million dollars, plus private karaoke rooms, hired by the hour from A$120 early in the week. A cocktail bar and a kitchen turning out pizza, burgers and share plates cover food and drink.

Evenings come with house rules. Guests who could pass for under 25 must show photo ID to enter once it is 8pm, and anyone under 18 has to be gone by 9pm from Sunday to Thursday, or 8pm at the end of the week. Friday and Saturday are also the late nights, when the doors stay open until midnight.
