Value and Pricing

Pros:

• "Good night out, reasonably priced drinks and entry, although costs more if you arrive late in the evening."
• "Food was snacky but very good value."
• "Entry fee is laughable at only £3 after pm, before it's only a £."
• "Drinks have always been cheap in comparison to places around."
• "The bar serves rather-big, very strong frozen cocktails for like £8."
• "Drinks are a good price."
• "There is a £1entry fee but once inside they have affordable prices."

Cons:

• "£1 admission fee for entering the building - what?"
• "Also appalled at having to pay £3 entry despite having already paid for the bowling."
• "So waiting at the bar to purchase drinks was a bit long."
• "The overall vibe once you’re in is okay:, if you don’t have a booking for the lanes you wait for 30+ mins for a DJ that skips songs halfway through and doesn’t play popular music."
• "Thought the £3 entry into the actually venue was a rip off."
• "Paid £100 deposit to host my birthday here... I was charged for entry."
• "Hidden fees everywhere. Booked one lane for one game... to be greeted by an admittance fee per person, then of course there are the shoe rental fees."
