In 2003 we opened our first Lucky Strike in Hollywood. Over the last 17 years it has become a well known icon in a town filled with icons.
From the outset, our intent was to offer a magical place to let loose, have fun, and feel great! We have always resonated with “The Dude DNA”- perhaps because we luckily inherited major pieces of the original set design from The Big Lebowski movie. It’s a long story, but one worth hearing if you ever run into us at our venues!
Over the years we have expanded throughout the country and have continued to add more things to do and an ever evolving menu of fun food and drinks. We are continually tuning and retuning our true north to the vibrations of heart, soul and the spirit of innocent play.
