All Star Lanes

It’s hard to hang out at All Star Lanes & not be reminded of Happy Days – just look at the retro diner trimmings, red-leather seats, checked napkins & the bold, bright colours. The food ticks all those comfort boxes, too, with sweetcorn & parmesan chowder, racks of ribs & BBQ wings giving way to tasty baskets of buttermilk-fried chicken, as well as the obligatory burgers, steaks & chilli. Bowling is thirsty work, so knock back bottles of Anchor Steam & Brooklyn Lager, sip classic cocktails or keep it straight by hitting the 130-plus selection of American whiskeys. Service is bright & bubbly, & there’s a private space with three lanes & its own bar. If you don’t win, mugs inscribed ‘I’m a loser’ are available in the foyer…
