    Hollywood Bowl will always be held dear to my heart for two reasons. This was the place I went on my first date with my lovely, which she absolutely destroyed me (at bowling). And then for the historic first win against her 6 months later to which she refuses to go back in there since. There is also an arcade area and bar. Both have been used quite a lot by myself and is great to have a laugh with the group your with. If you go during the day, prices are dirt cheap and is about £3 a game at this time, bargain. Just try and avoid this place during school holidays as it is an absolute nightmare...Unless you have kids, but you will wait along time to get a game.

    I am a self confessed bowling addict. As a student I used to go every week and now I still try and go as often as I can and this is my usual choice. The main reason I like it so much is because I've never managed to break their machines and believe me I have wasted so much time waiting for people to come and sort out technical problems that this is a real plus point. Another plus point is that the shoes are all fairly new so your not discussed about having to touch them. Then there's the fact you can get beers to relax your nerves, and if anyone is too scared to play along they can enjoy themselves while they watch. Its especially cheap if you can get there in the day and they also have unlimited bowling for a set price during quieter periods. Yes its loud and you'll occasionally get stuck next to a group of children who getting much higher scores than you, but thats what its all about. And besides the staff will happily try and fit you in away from the kids if you ask them too and its not busy. Its fun and this place is about as good as it gets.

    I was very much looking forward to my trip here the other day, but it was sadly made very difficult by some poor communication between staff members. Four times we had to stop our game and wait for a technician to come out. The machine kept miscounting pins left, so when my friend hit none, it was marked down as 6. Likewise, another friend was rewarded with a strike for no apparent reason. I understand that problems happen, but the most frustrating thing was that the scores were not then changed on the scoreboard, so we had to cope with adding everything up ourselves. (Not that I really cared about the score, but it was annoying nonetheless.) Other than that though, the experience was a good one. The shoes didn't smell and we were served quickly throughout.

    Of course everything is glaring and tacky; it's a bowling alley so it's meant to be.

    A chilled out, fun bowling alley with fully stocked bar and loads of arcade games. There were a few…read moreout of order, which is the only reason they lose a star from me. The lanes are great and there's plenty of room for your coats, multiple jugs of beer, and any other snacks you require. And the price is right too. Two games for £9, jugs of beer £13 - maybe I've just gotten too used to being overcharged for pretty much everything in London, but I thought this was a bargain!

    don't go here. it's a health hazard, turn up and the first thing you notice is the smell. mouldy…read moreand damp, ok it's in a basement but it's not pleasant, the staff member waring the mask because of the smell should of been the first warning, the next thing you notice is the lack of any food, kitchens closed, not surprising though as it's got a 1* food hygiene rating, considering they only sell snacks a 1* is extreamly bad, Lazer tag is a good size and interesting arena but smoke machine broken so was a bit disappointing as it left us missing some of the excitement, next up bowling, the stench coming out of the ball return is horrific, it's a cross between mould and raw sewage, no word of a lie I kept putting my head down my girlfriends top, body odour smells better- it's messed up when you have to resort to that to avoid the smell of the room but on a positive the staff started spraying air freshener in the room, it partially masked the sewerage smell. next up is the amount of issues we had with the equipment, the touch pads don't work, not all the pins get put back up, multiple times some pins were left on the floor and the balls are so damnaged one player next to us , his ball clicked as it went down the alley, it all needs replacing. toilets are also locked and unavailable, fortunately PureGym upstairs let me disabled girlfriend use their toilet's, we spoke to the staff to cancel the rest of our games so we could leave but they weren't able too as it's not an option for the management to do. they were pleasant but unable to really do anything, we won't be coming back and would recommend avoiding the place. it's clear the company has abandoned this site as it's run down and broken. not what you expect when visiting Cardiff city,
