This fun bowling alley and restaurant is a great place for a gang of you to spend a memorable night out trying to out-do each other. The atmosphere is really buzzing on Friday and Saturday nights with resident guest DJs mixing the tunes and upping the tempo from 21:00 through til 2:00. As you'd expect at such an all-American entertainment, there's a diner serving burgers and beers. It's all conveniently and centrally located on Bloomsbury Place, just off Bloomsbury Square, where Great Russell Street meets Southampton Row. Booking a lane is recommended but not essential and when booking you can have up to six people (estimate time: 10 mins per person per game) or opt for a table in the diner. Bowling is no longer a sport to be embarrassed about - popular demand has led to two new All Star Lanes opening in 2007/8; the first is located in the basement of Whiteleys shopping centre at Porchester Gardens, Bayswater, and the second in Brick Lane opened early 2008.
