Strike Bowling Melbourne Central
Reserving a lane at Melbourne Central
Bookings are made on Strike's website. Under-18s must leave by 8pm, and ID is checked at the door after that time.
Bowling above the shopping floors
Melbourne Central is a train station as well as a shopping centre, so Strike can be reached by rail without a car: the venue is on the centre's Level 3, at Shop 305, 211 La Trobe Street. Drivers are pointed to the car park at 180 Lonsdale Street, where secure parking costs A$12 after 5pm.
Strike does not publish a lane count for this site. Besides bowling there is laser tag, augmented darts and a pair of escape rooms for two to six players aged 15 or over: Shutdown, a beginner room built around rebooting a rogue AI system, and The Old Haunt, a medium-difficulty haunted-mansion puzzle. The kitchen sends out pizza, burgers and share plates, with a cocktail bar alongside.
Evening rules are stricter than at some other Strike sites. Under-18s can stay only until 8pm, seven days a week, and valid ID is needed both to come in after that hour and to buy alcohol. The doors close at 11pm from Sunday to Thursday and at 1am on Friday and Saturday.
