I liked the cocktails, I ordered the non alcoholic Pina Colada virgin for free courtesy of the company I work for. There is a total of 6 bowling lanes and mind you it is quiet small =? I was expecting the place to be bigger. You don't have to bowl to eat there. I'd recommend this place for close friends and family. The food was good but the company was even better. I spent most of the night taking pictures, so didn't have time to look at the menu =S sorry

Las Vegas was fun! I grew up in Germany during The 80s and 90s and where I lived arcades such as…read moreLas Vegas were the only source of entertainment for some. My boyfriend grew up in a bucolic small New England town that had an arcade by a lake that was the towns only source of entertainment and hang out for the kids. So coming here was nostalgic and brought back a lot of memories and we had an absolute blast here! Whenever I or we come to London, we make sure Las Vegas is something we have pre-planned and set aside some time for. My previous trip to London we came here no less than three different times because there was simply -that- much fun to be had. They care about their machines and they care about the people coming there. For the amount of people the come through here, it's exceptionally clean Las Vegas isn't just the best arcade in London, I've traveled across Europe and beyond and Las Vegas really sets the standard and is by far the best arcade around. I only my corner of the world (Rhode Island) would have a place like Las Vegas.

In the case of The Old School Yard, I knew it was a fun bar with great cocktails and great party music, what I didn't know is that hidden below the main bar is an underground cellar with two karaoke rooms. Oh yes ladies and gent, I did do my rendition of Big Spender and Word Up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZjAantupsA) was performed by a certain superstar. As far as a night goes, if you are looking for a dirty dive bar party, this is the place for you. Great drinks and perfect music if you are up for cheesy dancing. The amazing thing about this place to is that it isn't full of tourists and you can actually get a drink at the bar without getting groped.

Despite this, The Old School Yard is a decent place The downside is that the drinks are from bottles or cans so no draught pumps so not advisable for real ale or beer drinkers. Good for cocktail drinkers though. There was a surprise with a downstairs area I never knew about, which has free Karaoke booths and a nice seating area, also Table Football and retro video games so all in all, not bad.

My first time here, came to watch a friends band. Great location for getting train (opposite) and…read moreeasy to find. On entry at 6pm the barman was welcoming and venue is quite cleverly laid out with under a of the floor space as front bar, with rest being the live music venue out back. Drinks were average for London. At some point in the night the door staff started work and made me uncomfortable by staring at me every time i moved around the venue. At times they followed me (I'm in my 50s so not a threat). By 8pm there were 4 members of staff and although I was 1 of 2 people waiting for a drink, only 1 of them was serving. 3 of them were having a lovely chat in the front bar. I made a comment to my mate and the barmaid went and told them. I then had a different barman from earlier walkover and rudely dropped the card reader in front of me on the bar to pay before serving me my drink. Didn't say please or thank you. Rude as hell. At the end of the evening I witnessed a guy with a disability having a disagreement with the door staff who showed no empathy to his well-being. The promoter in the rear was really friendly all night and the bands were all chatty. What started off as an exciting evening soon made me keen to leave. It wasn't busy with locals so maybe this is a reflection as to why. When I left after the venue, an older door supervisor was on the front entrance and was really friendly, exactly how I believe all staff should be. I'm mixed as to going back as it might have been a coincidence that the evening bar staff and inside door staff all being rude, but I won't make a point of returning over going somewhere different.

Sure it's no pretty picture but it has character, the pub has a large open standing area with bar in the middle. I wouldn't say there's much seating but I don't think I'd come here to sit inside anyway. What's great is that they have a lovely, large rooftop area with plenty of seating available on large benches. There's also a BBQ serving up traditional jerk chicken and other street food type foods. We were offered a £1 off voucher for our jerk but sadly on this occasion we weren't eating here. I'd definitely come back to try it though! They staff are pleasant and attentive and we had a nice experience! I'll definitely be back over the coming summer months.

We managed to squeeze in the 50% off deal for food before it expired at the end of January. However, when the portions arrived, not the American size I expected, it looked like we were getting less of the meal, not the full price meal at 50% off. It was good value at half the price but not for full price, it would be quite pricey for what it was and to make matters worst, when the bill came, the discount was not taken off! However, the food is actually very tasty, and there was a lot of choice. Plus a vegan-friendly menu, which was really welcomed by my friend. I really enjoyed my choice of the buttermilk fried chicken in between a warm toasted brioche bun, house slaw and chipotle mayo. I accompanied that with sweet potato fries. My friend also enjoyed his chargrilled chicken tenders marinated in coriander, parsley and chilli, served with pepper pot hot dipping sauce and skinny fries. The chargrilled swordfish steak rubbed in Cajun spices with tomato, basil & sweet onion salad, again, served with sweet potato fries, was very good too. The spicy nacho burger with spiced yellow lentil and chickpea patty, topped with chargrilled courgettes and gooey nacho vegan cheese sauce, also got a thumbs up from my vegan friend. After the meal, we went back to reception to exchange our shoes for the bowling shoes, and waited for our booked slot. Since there were only four of us, the game lasted just over half an hour, but we had a lot of fun. The atmosphere was great and easy going. I had never realised that you could have rails up so that the ball does not run down the gutters, but bounces back and hit the pins, which makes it much easier! But that was not the purpose of the game, so we lowered them down! A good evening of fun and games for groups.

We managed to get a table and then keep it longer than we were meant to. Kudos to the staff on this aspect. They have a space downstairs at the back you can hire out if you are looking for a venue for food, drink and a little more. The problem is it's in Croydon and parking is 24/7 in this area so anyone who's travelling don't drive! That said Croydon has really good rail and bus links, so go with that perhaps. The food is really good and definitely worth the visit.
