    My husband and I had a voucher for a main meal with drink and a game of bowling purchased as a gift. We booked at the Brick Lane venue via email, there was some confusion with the voucher we were using when we arrived to the restaurant for our meal, this took a while to resolve but afterwards the staff were very friendly and we were very impressed with the food. We both had a burger and they tasted great. The bowling was also good fun, it is quite dark and cramped in the bowling alleys, there was also no drinks service so we went to the bar to order drinks which was slightly slow. Other than these, we had a really fun evening and would recommend for a date night or group night out.

    Very fun activity! Quite busy and loud but that is expected for a bowling alley. I feel that it is unnecessary for this establishment to make you pay £10 for the restaurant without giving you a choice in the matter though. Especially as the majority of your customers are probably teenagers!

    This bowling alley has a cool aesthetic. We went at night (a big plus of this site is that it’s open until late) and the neon ‘bowl’ sign glows. In there it’s dark, with a clear old school theme. However, it’s clear that some of the equipment is a little on the older side, too. On our lane, the pins messed up a couple of times when re-setting (but I know that’s not too abnormal) and the machine that is supposed to send the balls back after they had been bowled wasn’t on either, so we had to continuously get balls from another lane. The beer on tap we wanted to order also seemed to keg out, so we had to get something else. I will say, the staff were pretty nice and friendly. Overall, our group did have a good time, but we’re really easy going. We ended up playing two games and had a barrel of laughs amongst friends. This alley is just a bit rough and ready, so if you don’t mind that then check it out

    The Manager is a star.
    Eighteen of us went for a work event. We had a little issue and the manager dealt with it. Sometimes it isn’t about things being wrong, it’s about how they are put right, and in this occasion, the manager was first class. Due to his efforts, we will definitely be back.
    We enjoyed the bowling, and lovely food afterwards.

    It is clean, not too noisy and great fun! Even better, there are table tennis tables next to the bowling for when you are finished - even more fun!

    Fantastic setup. Really enjoyed it. Clearly invested in the best bowling technology and the food & drinks was delicious.

    Disappointing the front desk service said “Sorry we are too too busy to properly look after you” hence ALL DRINKS delivered together....doh! 17:00 on a quiet Saturday evening. We had booked! Things picked up quickly with the back room staff, who unsurprisingly weren’t that busy and so looked after us perfectly. I still lost to my son, are the lanes flat! Great venue thanks you for a fun start to a birthday evening.

    We went here to start of our sons 21st Birthday celebrations before going to another venue at The O2. We arrived in plenty of time to get drinks before our time slot. Our lane was still in use at our time slot. We were still waiting to be served our drinks when our lane became available so we were a bit late getting to our lane. Having 1 member of staff behind the bar on a Saturday afternoon is ridiculous!! Our next round of drinks we waited a while too, this isn't good when you're in a game of bowling as you miss your turn. Next round we ordered in the App to be delivered and waited 32 minutes for them to arrive!! Really not an acceptable wait time for ordering a few drinks and there wasn't anything complicated. We also chased the order and were told they'd been busy which wasn't the case as we could see the bar, it was down to 1 having 1 member of staff who wasn't the fastest server I'm sorry to say. Then our bowling cut off before we'd used all our available time due to it starting late. Good venue and bowling but you wont be bowled over by the bar service. We also had some snacks which were good.

    I took my children to bowling in the afternoon for a game of bowling and we had 2 rounds before it’s finished, the person that works there came to me and was trying to tell me that they need to end the game because the next group is waiting I was there standing trying to tell her we only have 2 rounds left it’s just been 30 mins we are here I payed for a full 1 game why can’t they wait for 2 more rounds. This is ridiculous and not fair honestly it’s not like we spent hours there you should of planed this all out and accepted the bookings accordingly instead of approaching people and saying your going to end their game!

    My daughter went for a friends party. No gluten free food options available for children with food intolerance seems poor to me.

    Staff seem nice and helpful. Toilets not clean.

    Had an amazing time at the bowling alley . Service was great and the food was really good. They allowed us to decorate the venue which I loved . The only critique is the speakers need to be louder especially for guests who still want the party feel.

    I ended up here after finding that the trains were delayed by approximately 1.5hrs. Instead of lingering in the pouring rain, my friends and i decided to go bowling. They offered a very good bowl and dine deal for £15 excluding drinks. It happened to be happy hour on our visit so i had two pinã coladas that were so strong the nearly killed me. Other than that, it was a fun way to pass the time.
