After closing a decade ago in Miami Beach, Lucky Strike has returned with bowling, arcade games, and, of course, a food and cocktail menu that screams Miami — this time, in downtown Miami.

More than a decade ago, the bowling venue was a popular venue just off Lincoln Road in South Beach, but it closed down in December 2014. Years later, in September 2023, Bowlero Corporation acquired the Lucky Strike brand. Now, the bowling venue and restaurant has opened at Miami Worldcenter, which takes up ten city blocks of downtown Miami.

"Not only are we thrilled to be welcoming Lucky Strike to Miami Worldcenter, but we are excited to be bringing the beloved bowling brand back to Miami once again following its nearly decade-long run in Miami Beach,” says Nitin Motwani, managing partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates. “Lucky Strike will not only enhance downtown Miami’s status as a family-friendly destination, but it will also be a wonderful complement to Miami Worldcenter’s various food, beverage, and entertainment options.”

Much like back in the day, Lucky Strike will pair its bowling with plenty of cocktails to choose from.

The menu has a new Miami look featuring beer, wines, mocktails, and a new signature drink, "Tropical Bonfire," made with Diplomático rum, Ancho Reyes liqueur, agave nectar, guava purée, pineapple juice, and fresh lime. Other signature cocktails include a Ketel One espresso martini, mango margarita, and craft cocktails like the "Aperol Fizz," the "Blood Orange Sidecar," and the "Watermelon Sugar Rye."

The food menu offers a variety of bites, including nachos, sample platters, wings, tacos, burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and bowls. Vegetarian and gluten-free options make the menu more inclusive. Some of these options include the "Nacho Avalanche," vegetarian avocado hummus, and gluten-free Baja shrimp tacos.

Plus, Lucky Strike now offers three different "build your own buffet" packages that include salads, starters, sides, entrées, and desserts.

The bowling venue's return to Miami is marked by 28 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, an expansive arcade, and a VIP room with six private bowling lanes, all decorated with a contemporary aesthetic and plenty of artwork, including neon signs that read, "Get Lucky."  Lucky Strike is also wheelchair accessible.

"Lucky Strike Miami embodies the vibrant ambiance of Miami, redefining the bowling experience for guests of all ages," says Lev Ekster, president of Bowlero Corp. "Our mission extends beyond entertainment; it's about creating memorable moments and fostering positive guest experiences. We look forward to this next chapter in Miami as we open our doors to the community.”
