Hollywood Bowl Oxford - Oxford

Been coming here for years as a local but as I was enjoying a bowling session with my family, our evening was disrupted by a drunken stranger. Unfortunately there was no security but the floor manager, Hannah was quick to rush over and kick the hooligan out. She handled the matter very amicably and even gifted us another extra session for free for our inconvenience.

Brilliant staff, will definitely be coming back again soon. Thank you Hannah!

Parking good, drinks good, food good, bowling good, experience very poor on Saturday lunch time with the adjacent lanes to our VIP was like an animal pen with two lots of kids having party’s for the two hours with no parental management other than feeding them food and drinks. Climbing over anything and everything, crossing into neighbouring lanes and screaming at the top of their voices. All for kids having fun but not at the expense of others. AVOID at kids party times. Suggest kids only zones at weekends and holidays to one end.😫😫😫

It was a hot day so we decided to visit indoor option but a/c were not working. The bumper all of a sudden stopped working but staff was helpful though slow.

Quick Tip: Now you need to mention your car plates number at reception

10/10 would not recommend.

After my first visit, I decided to give this place a second chance, which was stupid.

My first experience was on a busy morning, massive crowd at the front desk waiting to be seen while a young girl rushed between lanes, bar and the front desk. Bless her heart, trying to do everything at once. Only after twenty minutes after I arrived did someone else show up, possibly the manager since they came out of what looked like the office. Food service was on so I suspect someone was in the kitchen if you know it's going to be a busy morning, at least have a few more staff on.

My second visit wasn't as bad, actually had a great time on the lanes, a few more staff, some were friendly and service was quick. Yet I noticed a few staff standing around and chatting, talking about 'useless' teammembers and making fun of customers, what sort of things are these people being trained to do? Not once did I see the manager tell them to go back to work while other staff were running around doing their jobs as well, even worse that the manager was stood with them and laughing.

Machines always out of order, swallowing money or not giving the right tickets. Coins always getting stuck on the slots by the front door because they clearly haven't been fixed in ages based on the bent metal that the coins are supposed to go down.

It is a fantastic spot for a fun outing! The bowling lanes are top-notch, with smooth surfaces and lively music adding to the vibe. The food is surprisingly good, offering a variety of tasty options. The ambience is modern and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy.

24 lanes of fun ( VIP booth also )
American diner inside, Arcade machines pool and snooker tables
Great venue to spend some time, the Vue cinema is next door, plenty of parking ( don't forget to register with magic eye)
Better than most bowling alleys

I took my 3 grandson 10 and twins of 14 and definitely would suggest having the side bumpers when booking
Instead of going down the gutter it goes down lane and knocks down some skittles. It's worth the money and a good afternoon out for the family.
We had burgers 🍔 after in the restaurant it wasn't the best and cold as the girl said she was new and couldn't find us.
The boys enjoyed the arcade winning tickets for prizes

The manager who is in Waco on Saturday is really horrible and he’s no helpful at all no common sense. He blocked all the machine for the camping you know that deal deal or no deal machine you put Tempe on mǐ yà 🌼 block the most of them and any money coming out stay inside the machine because you close the barrier and you said his head office told him to to close them sometime that is really cheeky and cheating cheating for the guest who is coming in there I have my kids been in a plane and they spend £10 in there and I should be getting something back but I’m not getting something for the kids fine anyway but the manager is really horrible. He said I’m not doing it. Can’t do anything for you and I show him how is the gauge in the bottom when the money coming down is closed shot with the metal but I can’t do anything. He said I’m not have time for you And that is really ridiculous. I’m not happy with that. Customer service at all. He should be stay on the door that is not a manager who see the manager should be set by example.
