All Star Lanes Brick Lane is a retro American-diner bowling alley off Brick Lane in Shoreditch, suited to groups, date nights, and after-work drinks. You get six 1950s-style bowling lanes alongside two cocktail bars, private karaoke booths, arcade games, and a full restaurant doing American comfort food.

The most useful thing to know is to book ahead, especially evenings and weekends, since lanes get busy. Bowling runs from £10 per person off-peak up to £14 at peak times, and a single game takes roughly 10 minutes per player. Under-18s are welcome until 7pm, after which it is adults only, so it shifts into a proper bar-and-bowling night out later on.

The bowling setup

There are six bowling lanes done up in a 1950s American style, with a maximum of seven people per lane. The venue reckons on about 10 minutes per person for a single game, so a full lane of seven takes a fair while. Bowling is the draw, but it sits alongside private karaoke booths, classic arcade games and darts, so you can mix it up across an evening. If you want more than one game, the off-peak 2-for-£15 deal is the better value than paying per game.

Good to know

Book ahead, particularly for Friday and Saturday nights when lanes fill up. Bowling is £10 per person off-peak and £14 at peak times, with children at £9.50. Two cocktail bars and a restaurant doing American diner food (burgers, wings, shakes) mean you can make a full night of it without leaving. Under-18s are allowed in until 7pm, after which the venue is adults only, so it leans family-friendly by day and bar-led by night.

Getting there

It sits at 95 Brick Lane in Shoreditch, in the heart of the E1 strip known for curry houses, bagels and street art. Shoreditch High Street Overground is the closest at about an 8-minute walk, and Liverpool Street is roughly 13 minutes on foot with Tube and rail links. It is an easy add-on to a wider night out around Shoreditch and Spitalfields.
