» Lucky Strike Lanes

After several delays, antsy party people are finally getting a Lucky Strike Lanes in Houston. The nation’s first truly upscale bowling lounge is slated to open in downtown’s Houston Pavilions development in September 2009, next door to the House of Blues.

The space—just next door to the House of Blues—combines retro elements, modern décor and state-of-the-art technology. Look for artwork from rising-star artists to be projected on floor-to-ceiling video screens and, in the oh-so-private Luxe Lounge, customers can bowl while watching short, 3-D films.

In between games, enjoy a menu loaded with everything from coconut shrimp and tuna lollipops to crispy pizzas and Lucky’s famous sausage burger.
