    Hollywood Bowl Bradford is a lovely place to visit and have fun. Situated at the city centre in a serene environment. A day out with the entire family guarantees fun and excitement. Multiple games for children and adults to play and feel refreshed. Indeed a lovely place to visit.

    It was very lively from the moment I stepped in. The staff were also very helpful and friendly as they responded to me quickly. When there was an issue with one of the machines, they were happy to lend a helping hand. Lovely experience👌

    I can't claim to be a lover of bowling really but came for a particularly good reason. The place seemed fine to me and it was clearly popular. Lots of other stuff to do in there too.

    I meannnnnnn😻. Super fabulous. Loads of fun games. Don’t go in there with your card else you’ll spend your savings. And it’s definitely worth it! Although the machine swallowed some coin, it’s still super fun.

    My child attended a birthday party here and had a great time. It's better to organise a larger group of people to attend on a "normal" booking as you only get ten minutes approximately per person on the lane's. So to explain, for 4 children I paid a little under £6 each for 10 minutes each, so they had 40 minutes on the bowling lane playing the game which went quite quickly and you don't get another game if you finish before your time's up. There's a small arcade area for grown-ups and children but it's not free so you'll need spare change. There are pool tables- £1.50 a go. There's a bar and diner also. It's better to book in advance as if you're paying on the door and it's busy they'll charge more.

    We really enjoyed it, haven't been here for ages and since then they have changed the screens for adding names and the main screens which are much clearer and easier to use. The pins and all on strings so is a lot quicker than previously for waiting times for each shot

    Lovely atmosphere and is close to home. Never knew that such place existed. Sufficient car park and relaxing environment. They should do more on drinks 🍸 and food. Carpets also need vacuum cleaning and decor needs some tlc. Will go back soon ,hoping there's improvement. Above all,I had fun.

    The bowling game was fun and kids enjoyed themselves however I'm rating 3 instead of 5 due to mismanagement and their customer service. Although the lady at the desk was polite and friendly, they double booked our lane with another group. Not only this, but then they gave our lane to the second group who had only just arrived, whereas we had been waiting for 20 minutes. The staff on the floor then had us wait a little longer for lane 12. As there were plenty of lanes that were not being used, I don't see why they didn't open other lanes instead of double booking and making customers wait. Beats the whole point of booking tickets online in advance as it is not very customer friendly to make people wait, especially when little children are involved.

    Rather busy on New Years Day. Bowling was superb as always There was no double air hockey table which the kids were looking forward to. One of the single air hockey table was out of order leaving a queue for the remaining single air hockey table. Not ideal when a group of 6 want to play. The staff was rather attentive and made sure that any other games that was having trouble paying out tickets or accepting coins was sorted out quickly with a smile. The atmosphere was pleasant not too over crowded. Just about right for a New Year Day family time out. Well done Hollywood Bowl Bradford

    Three adults and two children and we all had a great time. The service was great from the staff. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because we ordered some snacks the the lane we were playing on and when the food arrived it was a bit disappointing. I do recommend though, as it's a great way to spend a couple of hours with either family or friends.

    Visited for my daughter's birthday, she really enjoyed it, and nearly won. So happy days all around. Great place, arcades on site too, and they bring the food and drink to your lane when bowling so you don't need to do anything apart from enjoy your game. The toilets need looking at though, they could do with a refurbishment to be fair. Apart from that, all good, an enjoyable day out

    This was an amazing venue to go bowling at, lit up for its many lanes in the evening that have stars! A Christmas tree was up as a decoration too and the screen used a seasonal theme for the scores, also there is a good range of bowls. The diner is well lit and easy to find, where the friendly staff served me Grey Goose Vodka!

  • 5/5 Aaron C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for a quick couple of hours with the family. Love that lanes and bowling position can all be done on line days before you go. Staff are spot on no complaints from me at all. Keep up the good work. Thank you

    We went bowling in the school holidays and have a fab time. They had dressed it up from Halloween, even the screens. It is a little expensive but there is plenty for you all to do and have a great time.

  • 5/5 Adele W. 2 years ago on Google
    Very busy but not manic, good environment, let us bowl early as there was space. A wide range of drinks and some cocktails available too! Quick friendly service and bar service to the lanes was spot on and quick too. Bowling was fantastic fun for the family to do as a whole. We all really enjoyed it - try it!

    Excellent place for family day out. Had an excellent day. There is bowling, a drinking place which I think is on the expensive side. There is a cinema next to it and couple of eating places.

    Please avoid avoid please double check your prices while booking on line the price stated its not the price your paying they will charge you extra with out telling you. I booked couple of days ago i was supposed to pay only £73 i was charged £81 e-mailed customer service got this reply from SAMANTHA MEEKINS ( Prices are never guaranteed to be the same and might change from time to time. Once your booked the price is the price you've got ) people are strugling in these hard time please have some shame stop miss leading people in these difficult time with out telling them about price change while booking on line. I will take matter to trading standards very un-happy with this. Came a long way from Manchester with family expensive bowling trip... will never come here again. Asian manager called Mohammed did not have a clue what he talking about defintly need retraining or a managment course will help him..... never again will book or visit.

    Great experience with my family, played bowling.

  • 4/5 Adam M. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here with the family for a couple of games of bowling and drinks. Easy to book and the lane was available when we arrived. Drinks delivered to your lane and plenty of fun for the family. I'd say it was slightly expensive for the time it actually takes for a game but apart from that I can't fault it.

    Originally given 3 stars but increased to 4, as to be fair, the place was packed with families, young people on the Saturday evening and clearly having fun. It was pure noise and chaos with all of the bowling lanes occupied, loud arcade machines, children's rides etc. A bit overbearing for us older generation and many years since we've played but we did enjoy our tenpin game though!

  • 2/5 Danny C. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff were friendly, but paid £64 pound for 2 games of bowling for 2 adults and a child plus drinks and food.... forgot a drink and after a 50 minute wait and 3 bowls left... our waiter had forgot to order our food. (In fairness he was so apologetic? When the food finally came out it was cold (staff admitted that the £6 we payed for a hot dog was microwaved ) 🤣🤣

  • 5/5 Francisco Aguilar G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's nice place, I went today and there are fun for all ages, the only thing I don't like it is the ATM machine that is inside of the place were not working I saw few People trying to get cash for the games and didn't work. Besides that everything is nice clean, friendly staff, very helpful.

  • 4/5 Bake With R. 2 years ago on Google
    Had such a great time at hollywood bowl. There is a lot of options in terms of arcade games which are fun to play. The bowling area is really big and the lanes are always clean. There were frames help kids bowl so my 5 year old could also enjoy bowling. The staff are really helpful and there is a space to sit and enjoy food/coffee/drinks too. One criticism would be that the womens bathroom smelt funny and could be cleaned to a better standard which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Overall a great place to visit.
