About Executive Strike & Spare

Executive Strike & Spare, originally a beloved Phillips Lane bowling center near the Kentucky Exposition Center, has evolved into a modern family-friendly venue now operating as JTown Strike & Spare in Jeffersontown. With a long history hosting events like Lebowski Fest, this venue remains a central hub for bowling, entertainment, and gatherings in the Louisville area. This page provides seating information, parking details, transportation options, and nearby hotel and dining recommendations to help you plan a smooth visit.

Venue location, capacity, and amenities are important for planning. The Phillips Lane site has since been demolished to make way for Expo Center expansion, while the new Jeffersontown location offers updated facilities and a future-facing footprint. Whether you’re attending a league night, a tournament, or a casual outing, we’ve got you covered with practical details and trusted local partner recommendations.

Tip: Secure your seats and confirm any event-specific details ahead of time. We’ve got you—from parking logistics to hotel suggestions that fit your schedule and budget. For more options, check our partner listings for Maps, transit routes, and dining near the Jeffersontown venue. If you’re visiting during a major expo at the Kentucky Exposition Center, plan for shuttle services and extended parking access in nearby garages.
