I have always loved bowling but have not done it enough because most of the venues are like going to Wimpy. All star lanes absolutely combines having a lovely drink with bowling and id happily go to do either or both. On top of all that the food and the restaurant itself is top quality. And the private lane function is brilliant for corporate events. I have always loved bowling but have not done it enough because most of the venues are like going to Wimpy.

Bloomsbury Bowl has an excellent range of drinks. Just because the place has a 50's style does not mean they have to extend that to bad American beers and milk shakes. Bloomsbury Lanes in my view is ideal for a night out. Good mix of people and impressive music.Bloomsbury Bowl has an excellent range of drinks.

The cinema is part of the Curzon group and located between Kings Cross and Russell Square in the Brunswick Centre. The Curzon website calls this cinema an arthouse which fits the vibe and movie choice here.

The cinema is odd in that the ground floor is where you get the tickets, but you then have to go downstairs to get to the food lobby and then down some further steps to get to the screens. The décor is shabby but independent feeling which is better than the plastic sameness you get in the Odeon's and vue's but it still felt like it needed a spruce up to match the other Curzon's and independent cinemas in central.

I didn't purchase any food or drink but there was selection of more expensive varieties of crisps and soft drinks but not in super large sizes. The staff were friendly even though one usher looked like she would rather shoot herself than tell me where the toilets were.

I attended the Independent film festival and saw a new Canadian movie called Everything's gone green.

Overall it was a nice little cinema but I think my group of friends and the movie helped increase the enjoyment level rather than the cinema itself. However it is in a good location and it was nice to go somewhere new to watch a movie.
