Hollywood Bowl combines all the over stimulating noise, music, movement of hyperactive children…read more(and adults) with the finance-hoovering distractions you'd expect of such an establishment. This place isn't cheap - we were about £30 for 2 games of bowling for 2 adults and a child- and the online booking system is super confusing. Prices vary according to peak and off peak playing times. You must enter and exit through the gauntlet of the arcade where those of us with children cling desperately to our change and deny the availability of funds to our enraptured offspring! The arcade is one of those where you exchange hard (and expensively) won tickets for a variety of paltry pound shop sourced "treasures" like water snakes and those snappy bangles. The bowling set up is great- you can wear you own shoes if they're flat- a you can set up bumpers to only come up/down for certain players in your group. There's separate eating areas and a lounge for parties and staff were all helpful and accommodating.

I was so sure I'd already reviewed St Vincent BC! Oh well…read more.. I've been frequenting this bowling club for long and weary; both my dad and borther are now members and my uncle and grandpa have also been members in the past also. The halls have hosted various May family occasions; wakes, birthdays and my dad has threatened in the past that if ever I get married, this is where we're having the reception if he foots the bill! I might be biased since St Vincent BC has been an integral part of my life, but it is genuinely a brilliant club, filled with brilliant people. You can hire the hall for up to 100 people for any occasion, and the lovely catering ladies will also offer their services to prepare either a buffet, canapes or a sit-down meal for a pretty good price. You can also (provided you let the club know) bring in caterers or food from nearby establishments to cater your event; the club, in the past, has had Old Salty's, Crabshakk and Mother India's catering for them in the past. As is befitting any bowling club, the drinks prices are crazy cheap and there is generally a pretty good selection on hand. If you're organising an event and you need a specific drink, John on the bar can usually help you out in finding it and stocking it for you. The members and the board in the club are all true gentlemen (Again, I may be biased since I've known many of them since I was a wean!) - no problem is too big or small and they are more than willing to help you with anything. They are always more than happy to welcome new members of any age, so if you fancy coming down to try your hand at lawn bowls, just give them a call and someone can show you the rules and lend you some bowls!

I am rubbish at bowling. Really rubbish. I'm talking even when using the bumpers and the ramp thing…read morethat the kiddies push their bowls down I still can't hit any pins, kind of rubbish! However when my friends suggest we go bowling I always do, just for the banter. XS is my preferred bowling establishment for a few reasons. Firstly it is never very busy so you can almost always get a lane right away. Secondly it doesn't try to be something it's not. It isn't a nightclub with blaring music and the pins don't glow in the dark. It is just......bowling. You can play a few games at a relaxed pace, have chat and a few drinks and chill out. I'm not going to lie though the place is a bit of a dive! Everything is a tad done in looking and the ugly bowling shoes are always disturbingly moist when you put them on, but that's all part of the fun! There is a fast food place in here which sells things that no one should ever eat. Fear not though as there is also a vending machine! In fact in the toilets there are vending machines selling all manner of flavored condoms, including Christmas diner flavor, yum! On a more positive note there is a selection of arcade games including my all time favorite, "Night of the Living Dead". I am a zombie killer extraordinaire! There are also a few pool tables and 2 air hockey tables. All in all there are worse places to kill an afternoon!
