300 Long Island

Bowled here for the first time yesterday and loved the upscale decor. $12 for unlimited bowling, shoe rental included... can't beat it!

Came here for a large birthday party of 30+, taking 6 lanes.  Private rooms were all booked, but I didn't mind.  Because a lot of the guests were all kiddies, the bumper rails were all up - I only wish there was a button on the console to put it down when the adults were bowling.  My only strike was from the assistance of a bumper during the evening - ha!

Food was decent: Cheeseburger sliders, dumplings, pizza for the kids, vanilla ice cream with loads of toppings to choose from.  Only dissappointment was the overfried chicken cutlets that were not seasoned.  Nevertheless a fun time.

This year our company decided to do something a little different for our holiday party: we rented out the "back 9" at 300 Long Island.  It's a private area with 9 lanes and its own bar.  All in all I would say it was a success. Everyone had a great time, our package included appetizers and desserts, and an open bar (beer and wine package).  3 hours for about 35 people came out to around $4000 (tax and tip included)

The bowling was solid, and 9 lanes was enough for everyone to be bowling at the same time.  The food was classic bowling ally food (sliders, pigs in a blanket, coconut shrimp, etc), but they also had more formal dinner packages.  

The service was a bit spotty, we had 2 people assigned to our area, but our bartender would disappear and we'd have to wait to get a drink.  The entire staff was very pleasant and nice.  

300 as a whole is clean and modern.  There are large TVs at the end of the allys alternating between top 40 music videos and sports.  

Definitely a fun way to spend a few hours with colleagues. .
