    very good prices for what is offered! there is bowling, escape rooms, putt putt gold and free darts! we enjoyed darts the best. the putt putt was good, the course looked new and not worn down as you usually see most of the putt putt courses. the bowling was great, you can choose whether to keep the bumpers or not. reasonable prices for everything. i definitely recommend coming here.

    Nice place. I highly recommend booking beforehand as it can be very busy and crowded. Great food - wings and chips. To be honest though, they seemed understaffed and service for food/drinks wasn't that good. However, I would love to come back again. Staff were very nice and welcoming. Overall: 8.5/10 Would come again.

    We did both the mini golf and the bowling. I highly recommend both! We had such a great time doing this, the holey moley mini golf was challenging and entertaining. Great activities for at night or during the day (especially good for rainy days). The staff here are excellent, always smiling and helping lots! A big shout out to Kate who was so nice and friendly, very accommodating and made sure everyone was having a good time! Great that you can order drinks at your table for both activities so that you can keep playing! They even have karaoke and an escape room I believe! I HIGHLY recommend if you to go have a shot at it!

    we came here for bowling and we wanted 2 people to have the bumpers up. we had to go back to the front desk several times to ask them for bumpers on ONLY the 2 people. then one of the ladies said that it isn't their problem it isn't working. you are in charge of this place and maintaining the machines so I think that is your fault. we continued a few rounds until the last 3 rounds of the game everyone had bumpers then nobody had it. they need to check they machines because this was a large inconvenience to us and the workers had a bad attitude when we kept coming back to ask them to fix it. highly advise you to spend your money at a different place I do not recommend coming here.

    Five stars for the young Security officer who was there last friday. He helped me to find my diamond ring which i lost in the bar area. He was so helpful with smile on his face which made me feel special. Thnx Strike for the wonderful staff

    Courtney at the bar went above and beyond to accomodate my corporate event. My team had a fantastic time and it wouldn’t have been a memorable night without her hospitality. I work in the service industry and Courtney thoroughly understands people and what it means to provide good service. I encourage the management team to engage Courtney in further business.

    What a great night! Great bar and security staff, good food, plenty of drinks. Bowling followed up with Escape Room. Really great venue. Definitely would bring friends and plan evening again, a one stop shop... You don't need to bar hop, everything is here!

    Rude staff...We were literally told that a booking, who had arrived early, was more important than us because they paid more while we were standing there drinking 20 cocktails. Bad customer service

    I was a fairly difficult customer so I think they did quite well. Not that I was complaining and I had have a good laugh with the wait staff who spilled a drink in my shoe. But I kept making requests which they actioned without flinching, then I accidentally threw the ball in the wrong lane after an underarm bowl that would have bowled out Ponting, it was just a shame it hit the gutter and flew up like beach ball, the receiving lane thought it was funny and strike didn’t seem to care. The venue was packed, which I would describe as well behaved 30+ year olds on the drink. Nice environment which we enjoyed. There is putt putt and a photo booth and the pool table with bar was a nice hangout. The highlight is you can order a drink at the table using QR codes so no lines or no queues.

    I booked my daughter's 7th birthday party here. The stroke host (Jelly) was amazing, sorting out everything for us. As was the strike bookings team (Lucy). We will definitely be coming back. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Nana S. 6 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    Excellent. I booked a bowling game for a group of our international students and they had a great time. Good atmosphere, yummy fries and the staff was extremely receptive. When we arrived, they had a semi private area for us reserved, that was a lovely touch that made the experience even more significant for them. Thank you to the manager and the team. We are definitely going to keep organising future activities for our students there!

    We had a lovely time at this particular strike bowling - I have bowled at many strikes before, but this one in particular stood out due to its cleanliness, and lovely customer service staff (in particular Star!!) Star ensured we were constantly checked up on and assisted with our every request, ensuring we had a beautiful night. Thank you Star and strike bowling GC!!!

    Thank you Strike Surfers for hosting the most amazing evening. From the minute we walked in with our party of 20 Emily our host and venue manager was on point and and took care of absolutely everything - the slides are the BEST I’ve ever had anywhere in the WORLD and the cocktails… WOW. Let’s talk about the amazing aesthetic of the venue and put your hands together for the MOCKTAIL MENU. Perfect place for a low key, high energy, fun, adult celebration .. thanks also Alex & the bar team

    Bowling/Putt Putt/escape room and even a karaoke booth... Plus's a bar and food available!!! A lot of stuff to do here, staff were extremely friendly and helpful... Only concern was food wasn't great, not a big deal... But only 4 stars.

  • 5/5 Paris S. 2 years ago on Google
    Best night out ever. Courtney at the bar deserves every accolade possible. Memorable experiences, top quality services, and she worked the bar like she was made for it. Absolute legend, I’ll come back just for the service

  • 2/5 Melina H. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for karaoke. Was fun but they charged us $100 (yes, ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!) for ONE HOUR for three people. The karaoke places in Southport are waaay better value. Only went with this one cause family was staying in Surfers.

  • 5/5 Zack S. 1 year ago on Google
    Pre booked online for a group of 10, 9 showed up & strike team were kind enough to provide free game vouchers for the 2 pre paid games for the no show. Fantastic atmosphere with a classy bar that you can order whatever you need direct to the table or you can just order direct from the bowling lane you are in by scanning barcode on table 🥳 great drinks & food & top notch service provided. I had a really good night & highly recommend checking them out! We played well past our allocated time & these guys were exceptional by allowing us to finish our games off. Lighting is great feels like you are in another world 10/10

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve got to say hands down I’ve been to a number of strikes and nothing compares to Surfers. We had an issue with our booking and the Manager Shona sorted it out like it was no problem at all and continually checked in all night to make sure we were having a good time. We will definitely be back and couldn’t recommend this place above anywhere on the Gold Coast. Thanks for making our night memorable and a great experience!

  • 5/5 Bella J. 1 year ago on Google
    We booked an escape room for old haunt at 11am but we’re running 10 minutes late so we called ahead to let the staff know and they could not have been any more understanding or accommodating , it was really fun working on the puzzles together and I would like to thank Emily for being so understanding and patient with our group 👍 the venue has an awesome vibe.

  • 5/5 Ecka H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Val M. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was friendly It was clean, $40 for a family of 4 booked online was the most affordable price for a family, it was also the cheapest out of all the bowling places in surfers Would definitely come back

  • 5/5 Quentin H. 1 year ago on Google
    A massive thanks to Amy for amazing customer service and great friendly additude. We need more like her in this industry. Amy made my sons birthday a excellent experience and thank you to Strike Bowling for a great time

  • 2/5 Tam 1 year ago on Google
    My experience at the bar today will ensure I never return. Ordered 4 x $10 mocktails =$40. It’s Valentines Day and we are on holidays and wanted to make the kids feel special as they have never had one before. I specifically asked the bartender which was the prettiest drink..taste was important..but really wanted them to look colourful and bright like a mock tail should. She didn’t seem to know and said that they didn’t have certain mocktails that were on the menu. She said she could make the zesty one but so I agreed and paid. It took 10-15 mins to make. The end result a normal clear glass, clear liquid, with some yellow colour slightly down the bottom. A slight bit of mint floating in the liquid. She kept shoving and shoving so much ice in there that it barely amounted to a mouthful or two. The way she did it so much, I knew that policy had told her to do so. Nothing worse than companies so greedy and stingy they force their workers to double up on things like ive so that their customers don’t get value for money. As if the bowling isn’t expensive enough. Companies on the Gold Coast seem to have a disgusting attitude toward tourists, rip them off and take them for granted. Just out of principal I will make sure I never enter your premises again. Pathetic. I should have just ordered four lemonades for a fraction of the cost. $40 and couldn’t even stick at least an umbrella or lemon slice in it.

    Could not recommend this place enough! The atmosphere was so good. Music blasting (really good songs) Shout out to the chef! They maybe just pizzas but they were really yummy and quick! They had deals on tonight which was rad. Such an amazing venue! I'll see you guys soon for a round of golf with my buddies!!!

  • 5/5 Kai 10 months ago on Google

    Now where do I begin, if I could go above 5 I sure would. The night began with silly me messing up my booking but Jessie my queen was the most helpful staff I could have ever got this girl needs a raise fr, the food was absolutely delicious, especially those onion rings. The karaoke room was perfect size filled with laughs and a joyful time (all thanks to Jessie) I definitely will be coming back so many times. THANK YOU JESSIE!!!!!

    I recommend the facility to family's that like to spend time bonding with each other. It's a great way to spend any day if your trying to get out of the house or to spend time with friends. You can also have a few drinks while having some bowls.

  • 2/5 Tiara C. 3 years ago on Google
    (I assume due to Covid) They are not renting out shoes unless you're wearing sandals. This is against regulations and is quite irresponsible, not to mention a legal liability. The shoes are designed to be worn on these floors to give slide and rubber soled shoes can not only cause damage to the floors, but can also cause injury. We had a good time because I enjoy bowling and the staff were friendly, but I would recommend that you request the shoes if you have any sort of technique that is more than just walking up to the line and whacking the bowl down the lane.

  • 5/5 Michael r. 3 years ago on Google
    Great afternoon absolutely fantastic staff

  • 3/5 Renata R. 3 years ago on Google
    It's expensive to do and more like a night club without music. Also not much cleaning goes on as tables were riddled with abandoned glasses.. and there's no social distancing here - a right health concern. Whilst we group had a good time, we wouldn't go again.

  • 4/5 Matty J. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for a quick game or two, although you do have to book for Fri and Sat nights if you don't want to wait. Sometimes the shoes don't seem too hygienic but mostly fine.

  • 2/5 Leigh C. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice set up but outrageously expensive. No family package deals, no specials after school or after peak trading hours. Ridiculous

  • 5/5 Wayne H. 3 years ago on Google
    Escape room was a bunch of fun and not pricey

  • 3/5 Tasha H. 3 years ago on Google
    I visited this location to play one of the escape rooms they have available. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We were recommended to do the easy/medium escape room. It was fun, engaging. The only issue was the venue felt understaffed. We were told to be at the venue by 8.30, 8.45pm at the latest for a 9pm booking. We weren’t served until 10 past nine and spent a good 40 minutes waiting.

    We had a fantastic 8 nights holiday on the Gold Coast, and the highlight of the holiday was stumbling upon this awesome venue. Josh made us feel so welcome when we went bowling and did the escape room. His exceptional customer service convinced us to come back later for karaoke and darts, where Millie and Kyrie were absolutely amazing! Millie was coordinating our time in the karaoke booth and I have got to say she is the nicest, most genuine person you will ever meet. The staff here, especially Josh, Millie, and Kyrie, are just amazing. They turned a regular day into an unforgettable one. We're so impressed that we're planning to drive 4 hours to come back on a weekend. Huge shoutout to the whole team for being so awesome!
