Plan your New Year’s Eve on the lanes at Lucky Strike
New Year’s Eve is one of the biggest nights of the year, and Lucky Strike is turning it into a full-lane experience with bowling, food, and a countdown you do not have to host at home. The focus this year is on simple package choices, premium details, and an easy reservation process once lane booking opens on December 26.
From daytime celebrations with kids to late-night countdowns with friends, Lucky Strike offers multiple NYE Deals to ring in the new year in one place.
Three New Year’s Eve experiences to choose from
Lucky Strike’s NYE specials are designed to give guests flexible options depending on how they want to spend the night.
Daytime Bash: 12–2pm or 2:30–4:30 pm
A great fit for families, younger guests, or anyone who prefers to celebrate earlier in the day. This experience includes two hours of unlimited bowling, shoe rental, and a set menu that features chips and salsa, pizza, chicken tenders, French fries, and funnel cake fries. A sparkling cider toast is included to cap off the celebration.
Sunset Bash: 5:30–7:30pm
Ideal for early evening plans or as the opening chapter to a longer night out. Guests enjoy two hours of unlimited bowling, shoes included, and the same non-replenishable menu of lane-side favorites that works well for groups. The celebration also includes a sparkling cider or champagne toast, depending on the package.
Ball Drop: 9 pm–1am
Designed for guests who want to stay on the lanes through midnight. This experience includes four hours of unlimited bowling, shoe rental, and an expanded menu. Along with core items like pizza and fries, guests can enjoy additions such as mozzarella bites, sliders, wings, spring rolls, and more. A champagne toast at midnight brings the countdown to a close.
What is included in every New Year’s Eve package
Across all three options, Lucky Strike keeps the structure consistent so planning feels straightforward:
Unlimited bowling during the set time window
Shoe rental for guests on the lane
A non-replenishable food setup, served as platters for smaller groups and as a buffet for larger parties
A sparkling cider or champagne toast, depending on the experience and time of day
Guests can also add drinks through bar packages or drink tickets, making it easy to customize the night for mixed groups, work outings, or friends who want to keep ordering simple.
For a broader look at what Lucky Strike serves beyond New Year’s Eve, guests can preview more options on the Food & Drink Menu.
Food and drink designed for groups
The New Year’s Eve menu is built around familiar, shareable items that are easy to enjoy between frames. Chips and salsa, pizza, chicken tenders, French fries, and funnel cake fries are included across the packages and work well for both families and adult groups.
The Ball Drop experience expands the selection with items like mozzarella bites, sliders, wings, and spring rolls so guests staying through midnight can enjoy a more robust spread. The goal is to keep everyone satisfied without adding complexity to the night.
Guests who want to round out the celebration with alcoholic options can add a bar package or purchase drink tickets, keeping ordering organized for larger groups.
