    Ye mate, i've been, was good, we went when they were doing the half price deal, as good as anywhere else i've been, they've got a bar and all the other facilities you would expect, think there's only about 8 lanes though so I imagine its prone to getting busy quite quickly

    Hope this helps

    Its not as good as Barnsley Bowl, the one on Carlton Road.
    Not bad though.

    It's quite good

    We went a few saturdays ago, wasn't that busy to be honest, and the beers a bit expensive, but its quite high tech. If only half of your party want the barriers up, I think they can set it up so they automatically come up and down for each individual person, like magic.

    Metrodome Bowl o.k. but not as much atmosphere as the Carlton Bowl.

    The tech at Barnsley Bowl seems to have gone downhill. It often seems to give you a foul on the first shot, and doesn't put all the pins down. As said above, metrodome is pretty slick and the bumper thing is a really good idea. Just lacks a bit of an atmosphere.
