Hollywood Bowl

Lucky Strike Bowling Lanes Opens

Bowling. It’s not just a sport. It’s a lifestyle.

Bowling bags, bowling shoes, bowling shirts. From Hogan-toting fashion editors to Diesel-clad Yummies (Young Urban Modern Male in Escrow), this is one game that has certainly made its style mark.

Why not back up all that posturing with actual skills?

Today Lucky Strike opens its doors, and it’s everything a stylish bowler could want: contemporary and vintage decor, state-of-the-art technology, works by up-and-coming artists, a 60-seat restaurant, live DJ, a private room for parties, and several elements rescued from the recently closed (and extensively mourned) Hollywood Star Lanes (including a 35-foot bar made out of Lane 16). So come on down. Trade in those Campers for a pair of real bowling shoes, and start walking the walk.

Because bowling isn’t just a lifestyle. It’s a sport.

Lucky Strike, 6801 Hollywood Boulevard, at Highland Avenue (323-467-7776).
