I recently attended a catered benefit in their upstairs function room. Disappointing would be putting it gently. Apparently the people throwing the benefit were suppose to be monitoring the food as no one from Strikers kept an eye on anything. Our hostess had to go downstairs three times to request it be refilled and it still took almost 2 hours to accomplish. The bartender would disappear for 45 minutes at a time. Other guests began going down and ordering food from strikers snack bar because there was none at the function they paid to get into. They managed the affair so poorly. When confronted about it the "owner" tried to convince us we had misheard or misunderstood something. Even tried to convince us that we had had way more food then ever graced that room and even made our hostess pay for it. I use the "owner" word loosely because upon calling to speak with the owner his daughter first tried to convince us she was the owner. Daddys little princess on a powertrip!!! Worst function manager I have ever seen! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years without incident until this past Friday... It was unusually slow at 9pm and my boyfriend had just bought 3 games and shoes from the woman with the red hair thats worked there forever. I was using the rest room and he was going to purchase me a drink, and himself a beer, when that woman told him he was allowed only one beer... WE WERE THERE 5 MINUTES. I understand the responsibility bartenders have as I am one but she was clearly instigating, saying well see how it goes. We left without playing any games and was told we couldnt get our money back.. and they wonder why it was dead on a Friday Absolutely terrible customer service.

We came here to celebrate my sisters birthday (there was 4 of us) and we brought a cake that when we got there we were told we were not allowed to bring in. Not for the reason of food allergies but because they wanted us to pay them for a "party package" in order to bring in our own cake! I can totally understand if it was a food allergy thing or if they sold cakes there for us to be able to purchase but they do not! Its utterly ridiculous so we quickly returned our shoes and went to a bowling place that would allow us to bring in our own cake. By the way lakeside lanes in Auburn lets you be a normal American!

This is a fantastic place to sharpen your game or to learn how to bowl better. The ownership and staff are all extermely friendly and helpfull. Anyone who complains about Strikers East its staff or management must not have been there when the place was open to the public. Lanes are in great shape as is the equipment and if you need a ball drilled Steve is Top Shelf and you couldnt do better as far as knowledge of the game and drilling bowling balls. Tony

Friendly staff. Clean facility. Equipment operational. ProShop on site with equally friendly staff!! Nice assortment of food selection. Have yet to try the food but other folks sure seem to enjoy their offerings!! Full bar with great cocktails and reasonable prices!! Overall had a great time.

We asked to be placed away from other bowlers but the owner said no. The people next to us took our seats so we couldnt even sit down. We immediately returned our shoes and told the owner that its too conjested at our lane and left without playing a single game. Will not return.

Employee was very rude to our party and gave us attitude for paying with a debit card. There were over 15 open lanes and she put us where there was a dirty table and when asked to move us over 1 lane she again gave us attitude.

Whatever is wrong with this business is not getting better. The owner has no business sense what so ever. Unwilling to say they are over their heads and ask for help. The customer always suffers when this happens.

This is the place to go to get drunk and let your kids run around the people in here was ignorant !!! Definitely not a place for kids at all and the prices lol are ridiculously high dont waste your time

Lanes were oily, and the staff seemed unenthused. Its clean though, and the bathrooms are usable. Old technology, but Im not expecting to see 4k bezel-less screens on every lane, but maybe not CRTs.

Been coming here for 10 years and it keeps getting better. The new additions are great, new TV displays & bar tables were a nice upgrade. Food is also better than your average bowling alley.

Nicholas Mattison

Good food, pro shop had a nice variety of accessories, but from multiple experiences, the seems to be no consistent oil pattern and very difficult to judge when moving from lane to lane.

Deborah Diem

Nice staff, nice alley. I regularly went there with a group of people with special needs. They gave us special pricing and treated our folks with respect.

Silvie Silverbottom

Awesome place to hangout, do some bowling, or play some air hockey. The fries are good and they have a variety of drinks if you are into that.

Jeremy Crow

Best bowling center in the state of New Hampshire and Ive been to almost all of them. Friendly people work and hang out here.

Lane oiling was inconsistent, fine for a casual bowler and the food was great
