Needs a good scrub. A lovely place, with great staff and everything you need to pass an hour with the kids. However, expect to lose a part of your suspension as you navigate the car park craters and maybe an eye as you walk past the deteriorating outside walls. Inside it needs the carpets and other surfaces deep cleaning or preferably burning. And do not venture near the loos unless you've recently had all your jabs.
my first time visiting and i’ll never be back,the lane we was on broke four times and it took me asking for my money for someone to do something about it,i was here for around 2 hours and the whole time the toilets weren’t checked,there was no toilet roll,urine everywhere and it was disgusting,the staff couldn’t care less and i was waiting at the counter for around 7 minutes to talk to them about our lane,this place is needed a deep clean and revamp,the machine are all broken, the toilets are disguting and the place it’s self is falling apart,there’s also broken tiles on the ceiling,never will i be back!
Been coming here for many years and it has unfortunately been hit with degradation over more recent years. However they are trying to improve the place with new more modern screens for example though there does need to be more hands on staff as opposed to 1 or 2 people running between the front counter and the bar. The toilets are in serious need of a revamp as they often smell and are unclean. Overall its a fun night if you know what to expect, also the lanes can often be prone to breakdowns unless your bowling on one of the end league lanes. Hoping to see more vast improvements in the coming months and also the outside is in need of a makeover as it looks worn down and unappealing.
Looks a bit tatty on the outside, but had a really good time and feels really clean inside. Some of the lanes have been upgraded with LCDs. It’s really affordable and we had an amazing time!
On first looks the exterior was very very minimal and did not look appealing.The bowling alley was good except for a few malfunctions within the pins coming back up. The toilets were modernised but a slight smell of urine. A few arcade machines were out of use and the 2p machines had no prizes in them. Staff were very cooperative and helpful. A few negatives and a few positives. Overall mixed feelings about this place. Might come back again
Re your reply. What changes have been made, just read a similar post from 3 months ago and you have replied saying to them saying come in and see what changes have been made. What has been changed since my review? I think the place could do with a bit of a tidy up from painting the outside to plumbing in the mens toilets, they smelled really bad of urine and could be smelt from outside the toilet.
Took my kids and they loved it so much and now my daughter keeps asking to go see Darren because of how happier he made her no task went undone even with my daughter asking for a million things best place in Ilkeston we need more places like this and a massive thank you to Darren for being so accommodating best member of staff there was even brilliant with my boys that both have autism genuinely can’t thank you enough! We will be seeing you again soon!
There is nothing about this place that doesn't scream sad. I could look beyond the breaking, yellowing building and the sticky carpets, the big bum screens and the degraded lanes if there was a good time to be had. But the food was inedible, if you even get served, the staff seemed very reluctant to engage with anybody whatsoever and the machines were either turned off, broken or chewed your money. Seriously, money hasn't been injected into this place since the 70s but they're happy to keep taking it. I cannot overstate how bad this place is, honestly.
I have been bowling here now for over thirty years in three leagues with a low handicap, but I have never seen such fowl lane conditions as today. The owners of the bowl need to put money into the premises instead of just taking money off punters and league bowlers alike, it's daylight robbery. If you were wanting to bowl here on a night out, don't bother the centre as become awful. There are lots and lots of slot machines again positioned to take your money. Drinks are pricey, compared to the town centre, and food that's a joke just look around to see how many people are eating, or not. Many of the staff are very friendly but some are only there to pick up a pay cheque at the end of the month. The biggest problem is that it is run down and needs lots of refurbishment to make it fit for purpose. For a seasoned bowler the lane conditions are so erratic it is difficult to enhance your game. Get real owners or the financial rewards of this bowl will go down hill rapidly
Been here a few times yonks ago and for the first time this year, and really please to say very relax atmosphere and great place to do practice bowling if your into competitive teams going against others,also a fun night out with your love ones, with other amusing things from darts , pool table and arcade sections, a lovely little bar and cafe, this place seem to be going back to the good old days wheres there's not so much shove into your face.
