To hear them tell it, the bowling scene in the UK was pretty dreary before All Star Lanes came along — and even if they're exaggerating a bit, we'll let it slide. Why? Because their five locations — four in London and one in Manchester — are so great, from the clean, fun lane designs, to the good food, to the tasty cocktails and beers, to the music selections, and — last but not least — their themed private rooms that look more like a Vegas suite than an English bowling alley.
