god, i absolutely love this place to bits. i somehow found it and decided to visit on a weekend, it was a lot more packed that day with kids running around a little. honestly, if you’re over 18 and you want a quiet and fun time out with your friends like i do then i really recommend coming in on a weekday and in the daytime, its quite empty and you get everything to yourself basically. its amazing. i’ve taken my sisters here, friends, and even just myself. there’s not a time i had a terrible experience here and ive been around 4-5 times now. first of all the cocktail prices? gorgeous. i’m 19, so i don’t have my own stable income quite yet since i don’t work, 2 for £12 on cocktails is ethereal especially considering some places offer 1 for £12. it’s the only place i go to for cocktails, NEVER EVER change the price please it’s literally a godsend. the workers are so so so lovely, all smiles and laid back, no awkwardness at all, and this is coming from someone who’s been socially awkward their whole life. i’d like to mention Chloe who was honestly amazing at the till, excellent customer service, really made the entire experience so much better before we left. we were literally giggling and smiling walking out of the place once we were done, definitely consider a raise or a promotion. the bathrooms are pretty clean honestly, public bathrooms are usually nasty but the hollywood bowl ones are comfortable. prices are nice for food, i think the portion on the bbq wings could be bigger honestly but other than that i don’t have any suggestions. i love this place. never ever shut down and never ever raise your cocktail prices. i should really work here sometime.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families wanting a full activity session beyond just bowling — the arcade and diner extend the outing well past the lanes. VIP lanes suit special occasions with kids who need more space. Weekday visits are noticeably calmer; weekend sessions have a lively, energetic atmosphere that older children enjoy.

“£17 per person for 3 people playing 2 games. We pre-booked online for a Saturday at 4pm. Excellent communication in the form of email and WhatsApp from them about the booking. Score board was all set up when we arrived with players names from my booking. There is a bar with a good range of drinks and also lane service is available whilst playing. We played a few games of pool and air hockey afterwards using tap and go to pay. Lots of different amusement arcade games are also available. Toilets were very clean and staff helpful during our visit.”
