Reviews

I have enjoyed many years in this bowling alley and again today. The place it is located in has gone down over the years but Hollywood bowl has respectfully kept its standards. The lanes were clean, the bar area was decent with good prices. Ple ty of arcade games in the arcade area for the kids to enjoy. There is also a lovely small pool table in the bar area for the adults and young teens to enjoy. Plenty of parking and a few restaurants to eat in nearby. Fantastic in my childhood and now my kids also enjoy this very same place I came to enjoy myself when I was their age.

Absolutely awful experiencennThe heat inside Hollywood Bowl was ridiculous. It was so hot and uncomfortable that it completely ruined the experience. What makes it even more confusing is that the air conditioning was apparently turned off at 9pm, despite customers still being there and the building being extremely warm.nnFor the amount you pay, you’d expect a comfortable environment, not to be sweating while trying to bowl. Very disappointing and something management seriously needs to sort out.

Spent 200 taking my speical needs twins for their birthday with a coupl2 friends was all good I asked staff if we could bring the kods happy meals as some had dietary requirements and others were sen they said yes no problem  forward to most of tje kods finished 1 member of staff approached rudly shouting your not allowed this is here to which I replied I had already asked staff as some of the kids have dietary requirements and some are sen and wouldn't touch hb food. Cut to less then 3 mons later while sorting some of the kids out I turn around to lord knows who directly in my face nose to nose didnt state who they were just shouting in mt face throw this food away now its not allowed here again I repeated I had asked staff already and thwy said that we could due to dietary requirements and sen needs. He carried on screaming to the doubt he spat all over me face that the kids weren't allowed to eat and it all had tk be thrown away that second. I stated most apart from 2 had finished the 2 that haven't were bowling right that second and onkt had a handful of chips left im sure you could wait 2 mins foe them to finished. Again he screamed spitting in mt face to throw it away and wasnt allowed asking who said I could bring it in I staged your staff at the front desk so please go ask them he claimed he did which he didn't so I saod OK il ask them myself and they can call me a liar to mt face and a friend who had come with me to ask. He proceeded to put his arm out to stop ke from moving while striking me while doing this I finally approached the desk and by now instead of the 3 people wjo were there to begin with there was now maybe 10. I saod loud enough for them all to her me over the awful music. Which on of u ladies dod I ask of I could bring happy meals into her before leaving and buying tjem  i knew exactly who ot was  pointed her out told her it was you  she point blanked lied to myself and friends stating she had never seen us  utter lies I told her she was lting and needed to grow up and get a life and walked back to our party within the split second thwy had turned out game off and wouldn't let us bowl anymore 5 sen child and 5 young children now all upset and annoyed  they then caused a huge melt down ruining my twins birthday day. I saod fine goce me a refund they pointblamk refused. I told the guy again go warch the cctv you will see me and her pointing at my friends asking permission  he replied while laughing il check but I highly doubt u will be there to which I laughed and said funny that coz I will be and if im not then we know you have tampered with evidence. You also know u are breaking the law by discrimination of disability what u have done here and asked for mt refund again several times he refused stating he could only give me vouchers to come back. Which I laughed and said you must be think as shit if you think I would eber come back here a police report has been made police will be doing a follow up I would advice anyone with disabilities or sen not bother going to this shit hole

We recently held my daughter's 8th birthday party at Hollywood Bowl Finchley 14:30–16:00 and while parts of the experience were enjoyable, the organisation from our party host left a lot to be desired.nnAll 15 guests had arrived by 14:25 and were waiting at the allocated table as instructed. By 14:35, the lanes still hadn't opened and we received no update or acknowledgement from any staff member — not a great start with a group of excited children growing restless.nnThe bowling itself was fine and ran fairly smoothly once it got going.nnThroughout the party, there was a complete lack of proactive communication from the host. We received no updates or guidance at any point, and any time we had a question or request, we were left to track down the host or other members of staff ourselves. For a dedicated party host, this level of inattention was frustrating and made the whole experience feel unmanaged.nnThe main disappointment was the handling of the birthday cake. We handed it to the party host ahead of the meal, with the understanding it would be brought out once the children had finished eating. When the children finished their meal, there was no sign of the cake and no sign of the host. I had to go and find her myself — only to discover her tidying up at the adults' table. When I asked her to bring the cake out, she asked if she could finish clearing up first. By this point it was already 16:00 — our scheduled finish time — and some children had already left the table out of boredom, with one leaving the party altogether.nnThe host then proceeded to clean the table alone at a very relaxed pace before finally bringing the cake out, by which point half the children had wandered off.nnOverall, our host was slow, struggled to prioritise tasks, showed little care or attention towards our group, and didn't think to ask a colleague for help when time was clearly running short. For a birthday party where timing is everything, this was frustrating and took the shine off what should have been a very special occasion.

Me and my partner attended for a date night. We arrived around 10:30pm. Upon arrival we was greeted by Sophie who was very smiley and helpful. Made the experience pleasant from the start.nWe then got our lane and wanted to order drinks online, however the online service was unavailable., so we went to the bar, and was then informed to order from the gentleman with the iPad, Masoud I believe his name was. I completely understand that he is swarmed with orders and it was not his fault. We pressed the service bell and was waiting a while so I went to the bar because I was feeling unwell due to low blood sugar and needed something. When I explained this to both James and Masoud they were quick to act and gave me a sugary drink which really helped. I then went back to my lane and after a few minutes Masoud followed to take our order and was very apologetic. I told him we are aware it is not his fault and he has nothing to apologise for.nOur drinks came shortly after. One thing I did notice is that whilst everyone else was running around, sweating and working their backsides off, there was one lady who appeared to be standing behind the bar doing nothing, I didn’t catch her name but I can say she was wearing all black and a headscarf.nnIt is really disappointing to see because Sophie, James and Masoud are all working really hard on a busy night, and to top this off they turn the air conditioning off at 9pm and it is very very hot in this building and makes it harder to enjoy your evening here.nnOther than this the atmosphere is great and it was a fun night for us. I never have issues here.nSophie, Masoud and James really deserve recognition here. They are really strong assets to the team and you should be grateful to have them working here!!nnAs previously mentioned, I cannot blame the staff for any of this, they were understaffed at this time and it was very busy. The staffing was the main issue I found. And everything was resolved as soon as they could and they tried their very best. Everything was still great!nnAlso I would like to point out the Blue Light discount, on the app on T’s&C’s, it states that the 10% discount could be used all day Monday-Thursday and up until 6pm on a Friday, however, when we arrived we were informed we cannot use it after 5pm. I am aware it is for online, but they did say they accept it at the till and I am not sure if the website crashed when I was trying to book but it kept buffering on the payment details page and wouldn’t even let me insert my payment details.nAttached photo of T’s&C’s
