What People Are Saying About Jillian's Of Boston

The Scene – Lucky Strike, a national chain of upscale bowling lounges, has a prominent Boston home directly above Jillian's popular pool hall. Despite 16 lanes, weekend waiting times have been known to top two hours. Those on the list--no reservations are taken--pass the time drinking designer cocktails while gawking at an astounding 80 feet by 10 feet video wall. The lounge's retro environment and comfy couches are popular with area students and sports fans. – – The Draw – Most patrons come for the state-of-the-art bowling, but with pricey shoe rental and lane fees,…

If you like pool, the place to be
by Davidforestieri
This is a great place just to hang out with friends and play some games of pool. I consider this place the guys hang out spot and have been going here since before 2003 when I first came to Boston. I would reccomend this place to anyone who is visiting or just looking for a great place to meet up with the guys.
- Pros: Professional pool tables

I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO BOWL AND HAD A GREAT TIME
by KBROWN
ON A BUSINESS TRIP TO BOSTON, THE COMPANY I WAS HELPING OUT HAD A CORPORATE PARTY AT LUCKYSTRIKES.
THEY MADE IT SO WE HAD OUR OWN LANES SEPERATED FROM THE REST OF THE CROWD AND GREAT SERVICE BY TWO YOUNG LADIES.
I DIDNT BOWL BUT DID ENJOY THE FOOD, BEER, AND WATCHING THE PLAYOFFS ON THE HUGE PROJECTION.
I SPENT ALOT OF MY TIME AT THE BAR TALKING/ARGUING WITH THE BOSTON FANS (I WAS GOING FOR CHICAGO!)
OVERALL, I HAD A GOOD TIME AND DIDN'T EVEN BOWL...
- Pros: FOOD, HUGE TV, SPORTS FANS
- Cons: BOSTON FANS...

Night Out
by Dbase1972
Great night out. Giant projection tv's with smaller tv's in between. Games on every one. Managers are attentive and accomodating with anything you want to watch. Bar staff doesn't get much better on Friday and Saturday nights. Strong, tasty drinks and very talkative. Lanes are in great shape. Live dj Thu-Sat. Roof deck for smokers as well. Can't go wrong.
- Pros: atmosphere, staff
- Cons: none
