Ten-Pin Bowling Options Across Melbourne CBD

How Bowling Alleys Work

Strike Bowling Melbourne Central, Shop 305 on level 3 of Melbourne Central at 211 La Trobe St, is where a CBD group goes to bowl. The lanes run under low lighting with the music turned up, and the train station is right below the centre.

Laser tag, augmented darts and two escape rooms share the floor, so a party can move on once the scorecards are done.

Strike's bowling parties, from simplest to fullest:

  • Just bowling: the starter package for eight or more adults is a game on the lanes.
  • Bowling with a base: the middle tiers set aside an area for the group and assign a host.
  • Bowling with food and drinks: the top tiers bring finger food plus an hour or two of house drinks.
  • Bowling for kids: a separate kids package for ten or more children.
  • Bowling with dinner on the side: order pizzas, burgers or share plates from the kitchen.

Strike's pricing guide starts from $23 per person, with shoes included.
