Hollywood Bowl Bradford

You're not coming here for the bowling, let's be honest. Well, maybe you are initially, but you'll stay for the bar that's better than it has any right to be. Tucked on Vicar Lane in the heart of Bradford's city centre, this Hollywood Bowl takes the tired formula of family bowling and adds a proper drinks menu that actually works. The bar runs the full length of the venue, serving everything from pints to cocktails while strikes and spares happen in your peripheral vision. It's the sort of place where you can nurse a proper drink while your mates argue over scorecards, or settle in for the evening once the lanes close. The atmosphere shifts from family-friendly daytime bowling to something more grown-up as evening approaches, especially at weekends when it stays open until midnight.
