Bowling, arcade gaming, live music and food are coming to a two-level space at Ala Moana Center.
California-based Lucky Strike Entertainment will open its Lucky Strike Social concept in more than 25,000 square feet in part of the former Shirokiya location and part of the center’s Ho‘okipa Terrace.
The four-lane bowling alley will be only part of the venue, designed after the movie “The Big Lebowski.” It also will have a live music area with two stages, and a full bar with a living-room setting.
The Lucky Strike in San Francisco charges $70 an hour for use of one bowling lane by up to six people on Fridays and requires a $20 per-person food and drink minimum, according to the company’s website.
The “For the Win” arcade will offer more than 120 games, from classic boardwalk games to popular arcade games, and Hawaii-born chef Rodelio Aglibat, TLC’s “Food Buddha,” will oversee the menu, which will include a poke bar, Hawaii-style barbecue chicken and other local favorites such as a dish called Loco My Moco.
A focal point of the venue will be a 250-square-foot high-definition video wall.
Lucky Strike, also the name of a generations-old brand of cigarettes, is slated to open next summer.
