Bowling is great fun for the whole family, and this is precisely what Bowlplex Dudley has in mind. It has various bowling balls for all ages and abilities, a kids section for parties, an arcade, American pool, Grill and bar. So you're not limited to just bowling, there's something to keep you entertained for the whole day! I've never come across any problems of hygiene or untidiness at this Bowlplex, which can be an issue when you're wearing shoes worn by countless other strangers! The Grill serves fast-food but if you're not keen on burgers and chips then there are a few restaurants within the complex. Across the road there is Showcase Cinemas, Nandos, Pizza Hut, Chiquitos and Frankie and Benny's. There is free parking, which can get busy during holidays or weekends. If you drive behind the cinema there is more parking available, which isn't well signposted. read more

Bowlplex is a weird attempt to modernize the bowling experience, but nothing can ever do that because everyone knows bowling is retro as hell. Big bowling ally, over priced food and a basic arcade (no street fighter). The balls are pretty cool, loads of different styles and all different sizes. Standard affair. There are a load of different lanes and i've never had to wait long to get onto a lane. Staff don't give a damn which is cool, if i had to give out clown shoes all days to screaming kids i wouldn't give a damn either. High quality bowling, not bad. read more

Bowlplex is quite a modern and fun to be in bowling centre. It is situated on Castlegate Park amongst several restaurants and a cinema. Its prices are okay if there is a familly or group of you as the game will last. Also check around first as there is often BOGOF vouchers. Prices range from £3.55 - £5.10 for adults and from £2.75 - £5.10 for children to. This includes one game with shoe hire. Also while you have your own lane you can enter all your names, and also order food from your machine in the lane. The food is good quality and quite a good price, comprising of burgers and everything like that. There is also a bar and pool pit for over 18's and a games zone for all ages. A good thing is also after 8.00pm under 18's arent permitted without adults which keeps out the groups which often hang about, throughout the day there is also security. After 9.00pm the lights go down and a disco ball pops out and often live music. Overall, This is a really good place to go - but can be quite pricey for famillies. read more

I visited Bowlplex, Dudley on 07.11.14 and was advised that I could bowl (unlimited) from 9.30pm to 11.30pm for £10. However, after payment was made, I was then advised by another member of staff that I could only bowl until 11pm! I was not happy! At 11pm the lane was promptly turned off. I noticed other people were still bowling on another lane until 11.25pm. Please note that I had bowled the previous Saturday 01.11.14 and I found the staff on duty to be very friendly and helpful and I was able to bowl from 9.30pm to 12 midnight. It appears to me that unlimited bowling finishing time is dependent on the staff on duty on the night. Has anyone else had similar experience regarding different finish time on unlimited bowling nights. I enjoy bowling and the unlimited sessions make it more affordable for me. I can only rate my latest visit 2stars. I would be grateful if Bowlplex could confirm the official start time and finish time when unlimited bowling is available as there seems to be discrepancies. read more

Utterly atrocious. Nothing in this building works, machinery and staff alike. The place needs to close for refurbishment and training. Appalling. The pool tables were out of order, which was the first port of call. We managed to get on the one that was working (1 out of 3 isn't bad), but a member of staff did have to come over twice and give the thing a lift/kick to allow the ball release to work. The surface was sticky and marked, cues broken and the experience was made worse by four unsupervised kids in the area taking it in turns to fight the arm wrestling machine and punch bag. We didn't finish our game. I was embarrassingly told two separate cards had declined at the bar when it was actually the fault of your equipment. This went on until I paid by cash and after someone else at the bar told me it had happened to them earlier. The bar attendant shrugged and went on a tirade about how he is holding this job up whilst hes at university and cant wait to get out. Great. We were told at 7:30 that we couldn't bowl until 9:30 (lanes were booked), so in the interim we decided to get some food. Cheesy Chips, like splintered wood deep fried several times and covered in a sickly film. Hungry as we were and begrudged to have spent so much on this basket of putrid filth we ate it awkwardly, trying desperately to salvage our evening. Sauce would have helped, but we were informed that there wasn't even one sachet in the whole building. No attempt was made to look. When we finally got to bowl it was fine...for ten minutes until our lane decided not to work. We were promptly moved to the next lane by a sour faced muttering girl. We left feeling deflated, robbed and saddened really. How could you get it so wrong Bowlplex? I wont be going again any time soon. read more

This bowling alley is quite good as after 9 o'clock on weekend nights it becomes an over-18's only site and they put some loud music on dip the lights and add some flashings of lights (not for anyone suffering from epilepsy I would guess). This creates a good atmosphere and I like their bar off to the side which is surprisingly reasonably priced. Also there's a cinema and a McDonalds and a decent arcade within 2 minutes walk so if there busy which they often are you can put your name down and go somewhere else to kill an hour or two. There are some pool tables of the side of the bar but they are ridiculously expensive and they also demand a deposit of £20!!! in order to play which isn't returned if theres the slightest mark on the table, considering the relaxed nature to the rest of the site this seems really silly. read more

This is a great place to go, especially with the family. If your like me and you love to have a game of bowling then this is the place, clean, good services and most of all good bowling lanes. Although it can be extremley expensive (as are most things nowadays) it is great fun not only for the bowling but there is an arcade, a bar with a pool room with about 8 - 9 tables which you can i believe rent for an hour or more and there is a food outlet which serves relitavely good food, all in all a good place to go for a bit of fun. read more
