I booked a lane for my hen weekend and we arrived 5 minutes early. We were told by a rather rude member of staff that we would have to wait our turn. We ended up going back to the bar ourselves to check if our lane was now ready. We were told yes but not that we had to log our names in at the bar. We got there in the end and we had a good time but there was quite a lot of faff involved.

Have been for bowling before and was great. This time booked a karaoke room which was the best yet. Cool neon room, all the songs we wanted, and could order drinks to the room. Also there's always live music, not what we plan to go for but a great bonus

Great pizza and bowling is fun.
The member of staff managing the bowling check in lets the place down, he is extremely rude and probably shouldn't work in a customer facing position. Issue was rectified by one of the bar staff hence the 4 star rating. Also it would make sense to leave 5 mins between bowling sessions so ensure all customers get their full hour, it isn't cheap!

Really good night out, bowling was fun plus there are a couple of pool tables.

I didn't have any of the food, but the pizza did look really good, plus a decent size.

Definitely recommend this venue, especially as a work night out.

A Bristol institution. Great spot for a central meet up. Bowling is great and pizzas delish. Pool tables have seen better days. The staff are always up beat and friendly and service is quick

Fantastic venue to see live music. They always book great bands, I have never been disappointed with the bands here.

They also have a fantastic selection of beer, much better than other local venues and reasonably priced.

Plus the pizza here tastes great and is super fresh made to order nothing tasted frozen.

And they have a bowling alley.

Good but the staff running the karaoke are rude when it comes to ending the session. Started cleaning 10 minutes before the end. If you pay an hour, you should get an hour, uninterrupted.

It shows sport, has games like pool and bowling and it has a good range of craft beers. The toilets are great but as a bloke it's fine. For the ladies, probably not. It's part of a hostel.
