BrewDog Waterloo is coming in strong on the alley front with beer and bowling combined at their Duckpin offering, with six lanes, a restaurant, and an on-site microbrewery available. Not only is this one of London's best bowling alleys touting a top-notch space that's perfect for testing your skills with pals, but it's also home to an abundance of mouthwatering burgers, wings and ice-cold brews, we're talking 60 taps of draught beer spread over two floors. Go head-to-head with all your mates on their swish bowling lanes before indulging in a double-stacked, purebred wagyu beef burger with a side of truffle cheese loaded fries. P.S. You'll want to stick around for the indoor slide too.

It's all systems go at QUEENS Skate Dine Bowl, one of the best (and funkiest) spots for bowling in the city. Tucked away in Queensway on a busy and bustling high street, not only are the lanes littered with neon signage but there's also awesome table service options for drinks and delish MEATliquor food combined; we're talking the Clustercluck burger topped with green chilli butter and cheddar cheese sauce as well as Southern-style slaw. And once you're done munching to your heart's content, you can enjoy arcade games and ice skating in the same adult-friendly complex. Visit on Mondays and you can bowl for as little as £8 per person. It's the perfect hangout spot for a fun-filled date night or energetic birthday party.
