Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes

The Bloomsbury Lanes provide the fun of bowling in a charming venue with a completely unique style. It has eight lanes and a 1950s retro-chic theme, complete with the only vintage above-lane ball return outside the US, letting you watch your ball swoop back towards you.

The venue also has a full service diner in the same style – the heart-shaped diner seats are an absolutely authentic slice of Americana, with the food to match. As if that wasn’t enough, there is also a large cocktail bar made from 80-year-old bowling lane cherry maple wood, and karaoke as well as regular live music. A unique, alternative night out.
