We had an awesome evening here for our little family reunion. Thanks OJ, for great vibes, lots of giggles and for the only time I enjoyed bowling, ha! ;)
I highly recommend the Bloomsbury gin, its lush! :-) we'll be back xxx
We had a fab night having a game of bowling and then dancing to 50s and 60s music. Will definitely be going again ��
Really cool venue with super smart bowling lanes.. the night we were there, there was some amazing afrobeat band and funk DJs after 😍😍
Must visit London spot 🏆
Really cool place!
Private karaoke rooms , nice pizza and great bar. The atmosphere was great , we've been there in a tribute evening to The Doors - and there was a live band there that played so it was awesome. Great place to have a nice evening with friends.
Phenomenal night. It's gorgeous inside, the music was great and the atmosphere was stunning. Was great to see everyone smiling at each other and dancing together. Drinks where also very well priced. Fantastic. Hope to see you all again !
It was my first time ever to go bowling and I had so much fun! I would definitely visit again with my colleagues and friends and get a strike!
Had my hen night here last night 80s/90s night and bowling & diner food. Had a great night x
Had an awesome night out, karaoke and bowling great combination for a night out
Big thanks to the waiter with long hair and piercings who served us on Saturday night, can't remember his name but he deserved a medal for all the support he gave us especially with finding a vegan option on the menu - really appreciated him going out of his way backwards and forwards for us. This guy's support and cheerful attitude made the night as great as it was so I hope he gets the recognition he deserves! Thanks again.
I love this retro style bowling alley. no fuss of crazy lights and visuals. you are charged by the hour and not the game. we booked an hour between 6 of us and just about squeezed 2 in. there were a few mishaps though where the thing that picks up the pins go stuck so we had to call over the guy a few times. there's a bar with reasonably priced drinks and food too that you can have whilst playing. cool lounge areas and old school arcade games. we didn't try the restaurant out but very diner like.
Great night out. There could have been a greater variety of food though.
Good venue. I like bowling and playing was great on our lane. However they should buy more light & heavy balls. 8-12 is just not good enough. Music was good. Waiting time is not bad. Hope to come back one day!
Our lanes kept going wrong, which, when you're paying for time as opposed to games, was really annoying. It was my friend's birthday and we needed to get going by a particular time for the next activity, but all the staff tried to do was give us more time. We try to explain that we didn't want more time, because we needed to go! In the end they did at least give us a compensation in money but only after putting up a fuss! It was a nice atmosphere but would have been better if we weren't constantly interrupted by the lane going wrong!
Had a brilliant night last night. Was a little hot air con was poor and the barmaid was very hard to understand and was very rude. Not a asset to the place I must say. Drinks a little expensive and the bottled water needs chilling . But the barmaid needs some lessons in customer service. But as for the music etc. A plus.
Lane was working when we got there. Took 20mins for them to give us another lane and that came out of the 2hrs we had paid £90 for!!
The whole place is a bit of mess and the seats in our lane were broken.
Also they we paid for the grease night but you don't have to if you bowl. All round bit of disaster but the Grease night is fun. Unfortunately the worst bowling alley I've been to in London. We advise to avoid for bowling.
Staff seem very unresponsive.
£40 for a lane just for an hour on top of entry fee and guess how much student discount is?....
£1!!! ��� this place is definetely not hindering towards students
Went to Bloomsbury for a 50s dance Party for a fun night activity
Was having a great time when a man taking pics nearby turns to me and tells 'You need to fucking cut it out!'
'Excuse me?' I reply?
He continues to curse at me that I F* elbowed him, he F* saw me do it, he worked here and had a mind to F* get security if not 'go down' right now!
If that wasn't enough when I complained the general manager didn't do anything but move the employee to another location. Would have been nice to feel safe and not assaulted.
Staff are rude!
Friend knocked over a drink at the bar and she sighed at us and when we tried to help clean it she gave us daggers and told us not to worry. Security on the floor is aggressive and the lanes keep breaking. This place need an overhaul and the staff need to more professional. I organize company drinks for a sizeable team on a regular basis there but never again.
My partner and I had just been served our beer. Then a woman told us it was time to leave and we said we would after we had finishe put beer. Two minutes later she came back and said she had told us 4 times to get out so she called THE BOUNCERS! Suddenly we have 8 men throwing us out. Outragouse behavure. We have 20 mins leagaly to finish out drinks. Staff were so rude it really ruined the night. We had been polite and friendly all night and I am righting to management.
