    Staff were sound. Mistakenly came here on a Saturday afternoon/ evening though and the 18 year old knuckle draggers ordering jager bombs were a bit "how ya goin" as im writting this someone yelled yeeewwww shots. Cool bro.... Also the music is 1 star. Might be ok on a mid week thing but not my scene. More of a quiet beer and throw a ball at things guy.

    Very disappointed in our treatment and experience at Strike. We had a family group booking (including seniors)of 13 people to celebrate two birthdays. We were given two lanes, 6 on one one and 7 on the other. Our booking time was 6pm and we were cut off and asked to leave at 6.45pm. Given the number of people playing per lane I felt that this was an unreasonable time frame to complete our game, an extension of 15 mins or so we would have completed our games. We were also given no warning or told that our time was nearly up!! An hour time frame would have been suffice to finish. Very poor treatment esp with the amount of money charged for the game and spent at the bar on drinks that we didn’t have time to finish either. Very expensive for a 45min game we were not allowed to complete. I will not recommend this venue to any friends or family members.

    Took my 6 year old to lasertag this morning with his mates and the young man hosting us, I think his name was Flynn, handled our group like an absolute pro, thanks for a great experience!

    Great venue. Bar member think her name was Heather was fantastic and super speedy serving customers. The staff member at the front counter, didn’t catch her name was very lovely and gave me extra credit on my card for the arcade. Overall great place to hang out and have some fun

    Got everything you need but would be great if staff smiles when you ask for another game rather than taking a sigh as they have to work.

    great fun if you can actually get in. we booked in at around 7:30 for 9:30pm and the worker clearly saw we were under 18 (aside from our mum), 2 hours go past and we come back to play our booked game and weren’t let in because they’re a “licensed venue and couldn’t allow minors” past 8pm which we weren’t warned of while booking (mind you theres a sign at the front saying under 18s can be accompanied by a legal guardian) while our mum showed ID, goofy bouncer too

    Took the family there last night and sure if we’ll go back. Order some sharing plates, wow $19 for 5 chicken wings and let’s not get started on the marinade they cake on after they’ve been cooked. The beef slides where overcooked, rubbery bits of meat and the corn just take it off the menu! Ordering drinks, would be nice if I was charged the same from all your staff instead of 2 different prices for the same drinks…

    Had a great time bowling in my groovy hire shoes that are included in the price. You can actually bowl in your own closed toe shoes even runners if you prefer. We will definitely visit again.

    We visit strike regularly. The staff are approachable and really friendly. Cocktails are amazing. Prices are good and bowling is fun! Great place to meet up with friends! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • 4/5 Martin O. 5 years ago on Google
    As a child, birthdays spent cycling between Laser Tag, Bowling and arcade games became some of my best memories. As a teen, although sometimes "too cool" to visit a family friendly place like this. We used our bus money to instead, beat the highest score on the arcade punching bag, after an unsatisfactory game of pool... Settled our mates rivalries in the safest way possible. As an adult, a game of bowling, Laser Tag, Pool and any of the arcade games we desire (mostly the punching bag or racing of course) has found it's way back into my life, without financial or egotistical restrictions that I once had. With added access to a bar, I doubt I'll ever age too much for a casual visit here. Within walking distance of Bayside Shopping Centre, Hoyt's Movie Theatre and all of the Cafe's and restaurants. A casual visit is always on the cards. My only complaints would be the $3 fee for a game of pool. As well as the positioning of the pool tables. Great place to go!

    The team were amazing tonight… we decided to do a small birthday celebration for my son’s birthday and they made my son feel super special… they gave him a card and they gave the most amazing service! Great party hosts! Recommend to anyone wanting a fun party. Kids had a blast! Thank you 😊

    Incredibly fun kids party! We had my sons party here, three games of laser tag, arcade time, pizzas and a party room upstairs. The kids were having so much, I had parents text me how their kids said it was the best party they had been too. The Party Host (we had Josie) was unbelievably sensational! She was entertaining, managed 16 boys well, and would ensure rest breaks and water and every child happy! She was also very attentive and communicated well with us parents. We adored her! Couldn’t recommend having a kids party here enough! Pizzas and chips were yum too!

    Juliette's customer service for my son, Owen's, birthday was nothing short of amazing. She continuously checked up on us, always making sure we had everything we needed. The party went of without a hitch and would highly recommend for any 8 year old. Thanks again Juliette and team.

    Our team had an amazing time at the Strike Bowling at Forrest Chase. Rhe venue is new and clean.Team is super friendly and fun. Big shout to Baily who is extremely patient to help us finding lost receipt afterwards. Definitely come back again soon!

  • 5/5 Jess M. 1 year ago on Google
    There was a problem group on the lane next to us and the staff handled them incredibly. Then once the group had decided to leave, the staff continued to go above and beyond in apology to us, offering free food and vouchers for future visits for the inconvenience. It was unnecessary as the interruption was not their fault but their efforts were very much appreciated. Will definitely be coming back, thankyou 🙂

  • 5/5 Jessica H. 1 year ago on Google
    Hi Guys, Where do I start? From the minute I walked into book my sons party, to the day when It arrived the staff at Bayside have been nothing but kind, understanding, patient, polite and extremely professional. I was blown away that one of the staff members from 3 weeks ago, remembered my first and last name! Our host we had on the day, Lola was kind, fun and caring and did an amazing job attending to all the boys at the party. My husband and I were very happy with the way it was run, the food and the entertainment. We Highly reccomend Bayside for the amazing atmosphere in Strike, the sensational staff and entertainment. Thankyou once again for making the day special for my child and for creating an awesome party x

  • 4/5 Olivia r. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good friendly staff and nice clean place to be! Definitely recommend doing laser tag with a big group or at a busy time to ensure lots of fun!!

  • 5/5 Jacinta C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great time had by all... our party host Sophia was amazing as were all the staff. Would highly recommend Strike Bayside for any event.

  • 5/5 stuart s. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing customer recovery from Sofia here when technical issues meant Lazer Tag couldn’t happen.Reunded in full and gave the kids some credit for the machines. Kids had just as much fun as they would have playing Lazer Tag. Great to see this level of customer service, Will definitely return.

  • 4/5 Shivon 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely atmosphere and the chicken pizza is to die for 😍 the place is a bit small which means sometimes you have to share your sitting space with other people in the lane which can be a bit awkward but fun regardless. The music gets you in a party mood and the lazer tag is a cherry on the cake. Staff are always keen to help and make sure you have a good time

  • 5/5 munna r. 1 year ago on Google
    Harry hosted function. From the bottom of my heart he was the best ever and we took a photo together definitely coming back 🔥🔥

  • 5/5 Robert G. 5 years ago on Google
    Had my son’s 12th birthday there and it was the best run venue.ive ever seen! The manager is one of most professional people I’ve ever dealt with too.

  • 5/5 Ryan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Came in for a birthday group the staff are super friendly kept us entertained and I’m sure our singing did for them also and dance move the vibes were flowing and thanks to the No 1 bartender Caitlin keeping up with our surprise cocktails all night stress levels were high but she never cracked keen for the next one 🙌🏻🍻😜

  • 3/5 I like F. 5 years ago on Google
    Racists, they ask always only passports , if he see you are not Australian they don’t want to see other documents, they don’t care if you came down only for the bowling. After hours in the car !

  • 4/5 Jaimee R. 10 months ago on Google
    Pretty good place to go bowling, bar is nice as is the arcade. They also do quite nice food and drinks. The only problem is, it can get quite loud. They hire a DJ sometimes, for some reason, and just blast, particularly the bar, with the music. You have to yell to be heard, it's just a weird atmosphere for bowling.

  • 5/5 Fiona E. 11 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend this place for a social event. We had a booking on a public holiday and despite the staff being flat out, they were calm and helpful and went above and beyond to make out celebration special. Great cocktails too.

  • 5/5 William F. 11 months ago on Google
    Such legendary staff especially Grace Ador . Came in late and hammered and was still treated with enthusiasm at the counter. Best strike I’ve been to based on sub par experiences in the past. I’ll definitely be returning to strike bayside because of her!

  • 1/5 Tyla G. 1 year ago on Google
    Went to a birthday party here today. Food took 2 hours to make. Barely any staff, the staff that was there were not very attentive to their customers. There was no aircon on and it was a really hot day and the toilets were super smelly. Won't be coming back again.

  • 3/5 Andre R. 9 months ago on Google
    Quite small compared to Zone. But it's ok if you are in Frankston centre and want to have fun

    Strike Bayside hosted our 7 year olds party and they were nothing short of excellent. Easy booking process, timely follow up and confirmation, a great party host and manager to organise and help the kids, tasty food. All round excellent value for money! We will be back thank you!

  • 5/5 Travis G. 5 years ago on Google
    Our kids love it here. They have been to a few birthday parties here and loved every minute of it. It’s a small venue but we have never had a problem getting a lane at short notice outside of their peak periods.

  • 5/5 Elissa P. 2 years ago on Google
    Have had the best experience at Bayside Strike Mitchell provided exceptional service I couldn't flaw. I took my son for his birthday for bowling and laser tag. Harry also was very friendly and helpful. We left feeling so happy and with positive vibes. This is the second occassion Mitch has provided such amazing customer service when we've been. I highly recommend Bayside Strike. Thankyou for a great time especially after the past couple of years not being able to celebrate occasions. We'll definitely be going again for social fun.

  • 1/5 ParagonHacker 2 years ago on Google
    Its horrible now. You'll order food and drink from the QR code and get nothing after an hour, people spiting on randoms and grinding on randoms, drunk people starting fights and punching on with random people for no reason, drunk people in the middle of the lanes passing out. Security doesn't do anything about this, and staff just turn a blind eye. Lanes rarely work and you'll wait 2 minutes per bowl if your on lane 6 or 7 as the lane is broke and staff wont be bothered moving you or fixing it. Pro tip: go to general public, much better security, better bowling, better food and much better games. 5 stars to General Public

  • 5/5 Robin F. 2 years ago on Google
    Visited on Tuesday lunchtime, prices were reasonable for myself and 3 kids. Lady behind the counter was awesome. We'd turned up a bit early and while we waited for a lane she gave the kids arcade passes so they could keep themselves amused. Was a really nice gesture. Place was clean, bowling was fun (though I got beaten by my 3yr old haha). Overall a great experience.

  • 5/5 Lisa e. 3 years ago on Google
    I booked online what I thought was Strike Bowling in Frankston however upon arrival realized i'd booked Zone instead... the girls behind the counter said it was a frequent error.. I said thanks and apologized and we left.. we made it to the front door and a young girl came running up behind us and said "excuse me" then proceeded to give us free bowling for next time....I was amazed, shocked and very grateful for this great piece of customer service and who ever this girl was is a credit to your business as we will be back and I will be double checking in future I book the correct venue all because of this great customer service that I thought didn't exist anymore... I am regretful I didn't take the time to ask her name but once again she is a credit to your business. Great work Strike Frankston A1...

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 4 years ago on Google
    Had a kids birthday party, we went in casually for a game so no party room package. Staff were very helpful, and good service. The kids had a great time! Only downside was there wasn't really anywhere we could go after we finished playing for the kids to eat lunch so we had to take that elsewhere. But having not been there before I didn't know the setup. Thanks again!

    Went to bowling with family and friends today evening. Thanks to the 2 girls in the reception we had a very great time. The kids had so much fun with just bowling but the girls threw in a game of laser tag as well and the kids think they're the best. Thank you for the fun filled experience, will definitely recommend the venue to friends.

    Quite a small Strike compared to other Strike places but definetely has a lot of stuff: Bowling, Mini arcade, Karaoke and a bar with DJ. Bring an ID after 8 pm !

  • 5/5 Pam M. 2 years ago on Google
    We were there yesterday for a family birthday. There had been a mixup regarding bookings and found there was no space for us. Thank goodness for Sam. He did an amazing job of fitting us in after some re organisation. He apologised and did all he could to make us feel welcome as did the other staff members. Thank you so much Sam. Consequently we had a lovely family celebration. Regards, Pam Major and family

  • 1/5 Shiromi W. 3 years ago on Google
    Very disappointed with the service we received yesterday. I paid the school holiday unlimited bowling, laser tag and games package for 25 dollars each for 5 people. At the start we were told the games arcade was down, then i asked for extra bowling which the staff member reply that's okay but you will need to come back to see if you can book it. I didn't realize that we had unlimited bowling which the staff member didn't even mention to me when I asked for the extra bowling. For the price we paid we only got to bowl once - when I paid for the unlimited bowling and the staff member response was 'it's a hit and miss'. This is so unacceptable, poor and inadequate information by Strike. I will never go there again.
