I love bowling but find it hard to get my friends to come join me to sit in a grimy place eating greasy chips and burgers. I had heard about All Star Lanes from a friend who raved about this “cool bowling alley with a huge cocktail bar.” So of course I went straight down there with my mates to check it out. We had an awesome night. It is such a great idea – I just can’t believe no one thought of it before. My only worry now is that I am going to find myself here a little too often and unless I get a pay rise this could cause a few problems! All in all I can’t exaggerate what a cool place this is. Finally there is a bowling alley where your friends will be happy to chill in the bar and drink or even sit in the restaurant while marvelling at your tenth strike in a row! Amazing.

This place has potential perhaps but it would be helped greatly if they could be bothered to pick up their phone.

Went there 1st time with my GF, had a great time. Tried going back, myself + 11 guests and found staff on the phone money hungry and unwilling to compromise with me.
They gave very poor customer service and weren't listening to what I had to say. One manager said "I don't see why I should do that as nothings gone wrong." I asked her why does something have to go wrong for you to give me good service. She didn't reply.

All Stars is a nice building, everything's new clean but just hope that you don't have to interact with staff. They're just after your wallet. From front of house staff, to managers to senior managers its as if the company policy is on money.

If you're looking 4somewhere expensive to bowl then choose her, if your looking for memories for your birthday it's not worth the disappointment.

A beautiful place but in my opinion, fake. Such a shame.

I agree about a lack of customer service and money.

I arranged a hen night there. While it was ok, it didn't make the group and the hen feel special. We were constantly asked if we wanted to run a tab for everything (for a group 18 or so, all drinking different things!).

We arrived early and were invited to sit in the bar, by the time the drinks were chosen and arrived, we were asked to get our shoes as we were now late..

They wouldn't add the cost of the game onto the dinner - it had to be paid up front (but only told me that when they were rushing us to start the game).

We were waiting for people to arrive and only after waiting for 10 minutes were we told they could skip their goes until they arrived!

We had a restriction on the amount of time we could spend on the lane (luckily we didn't over run too much but did feel the pressure of people lined up behind us). We were also restricted to the time spent in the diner which I was told often when discussing the booking and during our game. A couple of hours is fine if you have a table of four but not for a large group - they could have been more flexible about that. In the end, they did let us stay at the table for longer than they'd allowed - perhaps because the more sensible manager had come on shift by then.

They did, however, refund the place paid for someone who didn't turn up and managed to get us onto one long table.

Had a work do here recently and the place is like a classic American retro alley - I like it when proprietors pay attention to detail, it really adds to the experience.
