The reason being

The reason being, there was a security guy at the door and he wouldn’t even let us in without ID, when I rung customer service, she spoke to her manager and they said there shoudnt even be security at the location, the security guy was giving wrong info and then the manager said different info and he said he doesn’t know what the customer service is on about. The security guy was only there from 7-9pm. Doesn’t make sense. All because they have a bar there. I was only bowling. Ridiculous. But if you have a booking you can walk straight in, which we wasn’t told until an hour later after trying to get in. Guess he was just doing his job. But what a waste of my life waiting.

Bowling good

Bowling good, staff not so much.

Served same drink 3 times in 3 different glassware, first one took me to ask if they would like paying as they were more interested in huddling together for a conversation. Check in was a bit rushed due to the same. To also see staff drinking and and eating behind the bar kind of put me off a bit as they didn’t hand wash to serve.

The bowling was great don’t get me wrong, good prices and value for money. But during our sessions we were placed beside a group of rowdy people who were throwing multiple balls at once, making loud crashing noises banging against the barriers and bowling pin stacker.

It honestly made us feel quite unsafe and did spoil our night. It’s ashame that the staff allowed them to do such

Very disappointed, the staff are miserable, especially the manager who we had the displeasure of meeting. The games are brill when they work. The drinks are also not good value as there watered down. I dont recommend at all.

Pretty good!

Couple of website issues (error messages) but eventually got the booking to go thru. Service at Leeds great, friendly staff and a wonderful experience. Really nice to see the refurbishment which has taken place since the time this was an AMF lane - looks much better now, facilities and equipment are much better maintained. Nice affordable night out, especially with the 3 games deal on Sundays. Though my arm was hurting after!

We went on a Christmas team night out here (from a pub) and between the server and a colleague, a drink was spilled on hand over.
They proceeded to cut us off from alcohol service and then notified several other venues close by that we were being rowdy and not to be served.
This ruined the evening as we had to move venue three times before we found a pub that was willing to judge us on how we presented, rather than taking the word of an over officious zealot.
Would not recommend

Got to the bowling just prior to the booking and the woman on the desk was friendly and knew her job well, checked for us and the lane was ready.
Only downside was the table on the lane hadn't been wiped or cleared.
