They can be found on out of town retail centres around the UK, are littered with cheap arcade machines, are one of the last places you can find a Wimpy and often the popular choice for council estate kids and overweight families, ten-pin bowling alleys are not the sort of thing we’d usually cover on We Heart Stuff. Things have been changing in London however, since Mark von Westenholz and Adam Breeden opened their first venue in Holborn in January 2006 to be precise. All Star Lanes is a concept that brings the game into the luxe arena and fuses cocktails, great food and classic bowling to offer a unique nightlife experience. Their latest addition to the growing chain has just opened at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, East London.
Leather booths, American cocktails, beers and ales along with 9 lanes of psychedelically lit bowling encourage a lively atmosphere whilst this is the first of their 3 venues to introduce ‘Luncheonette’, a classic yet contemporary American diner style restaurant which offers dishes such as Jerk spiced cod with succotash and Cajun Pork tenderloin and pit beans along with a take-away deli menu and a selection of Hot Dogs, classic Milkshakes, Home-made Doughnuts, and fresh Waffles to order. Keep your eyes peeled for an onslaught of uber-cool boutique bowling in a city near you, All Star Lanes have a branch in Dublin on the way this year and are already targeting Paris and Berlin in the near future.
