Strike & Barrel - Wake Forest, North Carolina

Stacey S.

Our team at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, TFS and the Preschool, recently held a staff retreat at Strike and Barrel in Wake Forest, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The venue provided the perfect mix of entertainment, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere that made for a truly memorable event.

From bowling and pool to axe throwing and simulated golf, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Each activity added to the fun, creating a fantastic bonding experience for our entire staff. The facility was well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and accommodating, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

The food was another highlight of the afternoon—delicious and well-prepared, adding to the overall enjoyment of our time there. Whether you're planning a corporate event, a family gathering, or just a fun night out, Strike and Barrel is a fantastic choice for all ages.

We highly recommend Strike and Barrel for any group looking for a great time in a lively and engaging setting!

Busy. There are no reservations for at least the simulators, so I bet none. It's very odd and not good for planning..."wait list" only. Axe throwing was fun. There's lots to do here. The food was good. The service was friendly.

When my friend told us “let’s go to strike!” I said “sure”. But here between us I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS “strike “ OR WORDT, HOW TO PLAY IT! You can see my disappointment in this pic. But let me tell you; I loved it, except wearing those “dirty “ shoes haha. Customer service was fantastic, the ladies and the gentleman at the front desk were very attentive. The menu and the meals were great and I definitely recommend this place to hang out with friends, family, children etc. Oh, it’s not just bowling. You have many other games to enjoy with your kiddos and not so kiddos as well. And last but not least, you can also celebrate your birthday hurray 💪🏻🎆🥳. Sorry I didn’t take more pictures because I was so excited 😆
By the way, you have to pay to play balls and all the other games I mentioned before, so please don’t forget your wallet 🪪 (renting shoes for 3 of us+ one hour of bowling was $47)

Great place for some unique and engaging fun. Two people can really go crazy throwing axes and trying to see who has the best aim. The axe throwing hype man was the best! His warm and friendly attitude really made me and my friend feel welcome. The arcade was a lot of fun with unique and classic games at a fair price. The space is really open with a cozy modern atmosphere. Next time we'll try the food.

Not just bowling! After remodeling, still have same amount of lanes for regular bowling but also has small area for duckpin bowling, ax throwing, pool tables, arcade, and virtual golfing. Don't even get me started on the wraparound bar! Very nice! Don't do reservations other than events.

Love this place! I booked a party for my workplace and was able to split my budget between food, table reservations, axe throwing, sports simulators, arcade games, and multiple types of bowling! Katie helped make the reservation and they were very responsive and worked with my limited budget very well. I was able to entertain over 30 people for only a couple hundred dollars and everyone had such a great time. It was my first time planning a work party that people actually wanted to show up to, and the staff were just so accommodating and so sweet I’m so glad I chose this place. I will definitely be coming back!!

I had never heard of duckpin bowling until our visit to this business. We had a great time. The staff was friendly and the rates were reasonable.

I love strike and barrel! I can’t believe how much more they have added, we did bowling and axe throwing and also enjoyed food and drinks. Such a great time 🙂
