Strike Miami

I thought it was a fun place with great music and good service. Definitely over priced per game, $ 15. $ 6.99 for shoe rental. $ 5 door cover charge. A bit pricey for bowling in Miami.

I have been here several times over the years, and have always had a good time overall. Good music, drinks, and black lights give it a club-​like, adult vibe that I like. I hosted a work happy hour one time which went well. Most recently, I went this past Sunday to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We went at 6 pm for the Sunday special, $ 3.49 game & $ 3.49 shoe rental. After waiting in a pretty big line for 5 minutes, I was told that it was an hour and a half wait! We put our names on the list, and left to wait for the rest of our party. After about half an hour, I went back in to check on status. Arosh (?) was SUPER helpful! He asked how many people we had and was able to fit in our party of 6. The group had a great time; ordered drinks and appetizers. A server was a little hard to find, but once we did service was good. On a side note, we got a giant chocolate chip cookie to sing happy birthday with and they had candles for it and a little birthday sign, and that cookie is YUMMY!!! Thanks for making my hubby’s party a big success! :-)

I am in utter disbelief of this establishment.
The owner refused my 2 friends and I service, immediately as we walked in, under the assumption that we were intoxicated. All we asked was to bowl. We did not ask for drinks, I cannot drink alcohol due to a heart condition. Just because my friends and I are in our mid twenties, the owner refused us service. «I can tell you all have been drinking and I refuse you service» My two friends are trained paramedics, and had not had a drink in days. It was a lazy and ridiculous excuse.
I am livid at this refusal of service. Do not support this man, who did not let us even appeal his false claims.

insanely expensive. I spent $ 56 on two games for three people today (one was a child). You’d think on a Monday at 1 pm on a holiday break, they’d have some sort of special. But nope. They basically charge $ 7 per person per game and $ 6 for shoes. Not worth it. At all.

I walked in on Thursday the 10 of Dec with a group of 20. I asked what specials they may have and replied that only when you call ahead you would get a special. Then one of the guys in the group asked if they gave military discounts and the manager who happen to pass by at that moment said «No we don’t offer that.» I this point I knew I didn’t want to do business with these people. As a manager he did not even try to offer anything to us just to keep our business. My first time in this place and I can honestly say I will NOT return at all. The guy that was helping me at first was rude he kept walking away and coming back. When I asked a question he would not even look at me to my face but rather was looking around. Worst service.

Came in at 9:50. Told us they close at 10:30 after we drive 40 mins. To get there. Website said otherwise. Kitchen close, no drinks. Very lame night.

Strike used to be THE spot to go to. It is unfortunate that it has become a mess. We went in Sunday night and it smelled super muggy, the placed looked dirty. I went to the bathroom which is right by the kitchen. The door to the kitchen was open and it was DISGUSTING! There was food all over the kitchen counters, food on the floor, a huge mess of plates. It was just a very bad view. The bathroom trash cans were overflowing with paper, floors were dirty, toilets were nasty. It was just BAD! The ONLY good thing was that on Sundays after 6pm, games and shoes are around $ 3.50. But I have honestly never seen this place in such bad condition before…

What else can you expect from a bowling alley at Dolphin Mall? Over priced and extremely crowded. They charge you $ 7 per person per game plus $ 5 for your shoes. Oh and if you get there past 8pm price goes up to $ 8 per person per game and you have to pay $ 5 at the entrance just to get in.
But ok we are at Dolphin Mall and its dark with big screen TVs and the pins glow in the dark so its a bit cooler than your ordinary bowling alley. We ordered some drinks, the price was fair and the waitress was very nice. We finished our bowling games and had a bit of our drink left so we sat down to finish our drinks before leaving.
Not 5 minutes had passed by and the manager or owner came over and asked if we were leaving or playing another game. Almost as if he was telling us to buy another game or leave, in a rude tone. But like I said, what more would you expect at a bowling alley in Dolphin mall.

There sign says they close at 3am but they kick out people at 2am and say they’re closed, when challenged they said they’d let their manager know our dissatisfaction. This place is garbage avoid like the plague!

This place is terrible for drink and food service! You can never get a server to help you. And when you do you only seem them once for the entire night. Drinks took 20 mins to get to us and food took about an hour. The place wasn’t even packed. Step up the customer service please then it would be great.

This place sucks. The drinks were the best part of my night here that and the awesome guy who served us.
You have to pay $ 5 per person extra after 9 pm just to get in and they don’t tell you that $ 26 is for 2 people to bowl 1 game

My friend selected Strike for his birthday party. Sure he’s in his late 30s but who doesn’t love a bowling party?!? So my bf and I drove quite a way South to Dolphin Mall where the bowling alley is located. We walked into the alley which smelled like a musty alley but don’t worry you get used to it lol! My friend covered everyone’s shoes, 3 hours of bowling, sodas, and apps. We were responsible for cocktails. The place was like a club, alley, mini golf complex, and sports bar rolled into one.
The lanes and balls were not the greatest but we were just there to have fun not bowl in a league game. My bf and I hit up the bar to help improve our game. We selected some specialty drinks– no prices on the menu so we didn’t know what to expect when our bill came but they were extremely reasonably priced and Avi the bartender was great with recommendations. We found out the bar was going to be converted into laser tag and the back bar was going to be expanded and opened up. Personally I don’t care about laser tag and would prefer a bar any day but I guess I’m in the minority.
Big screens were above each lane and we requested the Dolphins pre season game, which was put on. The music played 80s, 90s, and current hits that got everyone toe tapping. My only constructive feedback is that the lane/​seating is not conducive to more than 3 or 4 players– it was very tight. Also it was a little warm in there (Bikram Bowling) and forget about the smell that was emitted when you took the shoes off!

The facility looks great but the service is so pitiful! We went in for the Sunday special, $ 3.49 game + shoes. When it came time to pay, they informed us that it really means $ 6.98 game + shoes and then the manager proceeded to explain how the plus sign doesn’t mean game «and» shoes. Thanks for the explanation of your false advertisement. We took our group of 8 to Bird Bowl. Buy one hour, get one free!

You have to be rational in your expectations of this place. A small mini golf in the front, a bunch of teens serving food and drinks (what place with teens as servers is gonna be top notch?). If you wanna just go out for a few hours with your fam/​young kids, you’ll have a good time. The kids will at least, might want to go on a full stomach and just peck some appetizers.

I wish I read the reviews before coming here because this place definitely lives up to its expectations. It’s a little overpriced to bowl, probably because you’re paying for the extra hype of entertainment you’re surrounded by. I don’t go often but when I do, they always seem to be understaffed and the staff always seem to need some major training in customer service! I’ve only had one good staff member help me out and apologize for an inconvenience but to be honest, he shouldn’t be apologizing for another employee when he’s no way in any fault or the manager. I can’t say anything on the food because I’m not a fan of eat & play. Besides all that, bowling here is fun but only because of the people you’re with!

When you walk into an bowling alley, you NEVER expect to pay an entrance fee. Usually you rent a lane, shoes, maybe socks, buy some food and drinks but NEVER DO YOU EXPECT TO PAY AN ENTRANCE! The staff didn’t seem to want to work. The lanes are close together and the people that attend this location are overbearing, rude, and have no understanding of personal space. Forget trying to get service at the lane. When you do buy a drink, expect to pay club rates. $ 9 dollars for a beer (that’s with a tip). The only thing going for this facility was the Dj. He did an amazing job spinning the beats the whole night. Bathrooms need to be renovated. All in all, I give this place a thumbs down

Ok so I totally cannot bowl but for some reason I keep trying. it’s fun and even though I am not the best bowler it helps me de-​stress and just relax. I came here to celebrate my godsons birthday and I was pleasantly surprised. Now I am not too sure how the prices go but they chose a package in which drinks (lemonade, soda and water) food (pizza, hot dogs, French fries and ice cream cake) and 2 lanes for a bunch of kids was included.
It was pretty well organized, we had one server running around making sure everything was ok, the manager checked in a few times. I really do not have anything negative to say. It was early in the day so it wasn’t packed and I really liked that.
Conclusion– this is def an alternative to the usual park party.

After reading many bad reviews, we were hesitant to come here. We decided to go anyway. We had a great experience but it was thanks to our HILARIOUS server Bruno. The prices were a little high but we had a great time. Bruno recommended the fish bowl and it was worth it. We will be back.

This place is terrible. If I could give it 0 stars, I would!
I bowled here on a group outing recently. We were a group of 11 people using 2 lanes. $ 15 per person is what my friend told us our cut would be (shoe rental included). The booths were tiny. We removed one of the tables so we could move around when it was someone’s turn to bowl.
Trying to place an order for ANYTHING was a nightmare. I walked around for 5 minutes trying to either find someone who worked there or even looked like they did. A badge, a two way radio, anything! Eventually I found someone to place a drink order. She took my card, said she’d bring me the bill to our lane, and walked away. I had an uneasy feeling about this as I could just tell between the atmosphere and the experience I was already having that I would have a fraudulent charge to deal with later.
Hey, guess what? The next morning, as I’m heading out for vacation, I checked my account online and saw a Strike Miami charge that I didn’t make. Ta-​da! Thankfully my bank was pretty good about it and didn’t give me any push back.
Also, some people have complained about the lanes being uneven and/​or not as wide as other places. Reading these reviews after my experience completely explains some of the issues we were having, even with some of our seasoned bowlers.
Aside from the time spent with friends, this experience was a nightmare. I flat out refuse to return to this place.

My husband and I love to bowl and somewhere along the line we passed that on to our son.
We’ve come here a couple of times but only for a game (normally we do 2). We like how the place looks but the bowling lanes are just smaller and not as wide as other bowling facilities.
Food wise we tried their pizzas and an appetizer that brought cheese sticks, wings, sliders, chicken tenders and onion rings. We weren’t disappointed at taste but weren’t excited about the price.
They are pricier than other locations and their lanes aren’t that great but it’s still fun and enjoy a game once in a while.
