Best bowling alley in London! Thought I'd just come to a regular bowling alley but there are 2 floors, an arcade room, a pool room, and live DJ sets on each floor so you can have a drink and a dance if you're not playing. On Friday and Saturday nights it's basically an adult playground. I had a great time and look forward to coming back. Thanks to all the staff that keep the place nice for us punters 🫶🏾✨
It was my first time coming, I had booked a lane for two and made a reservation online before. I was unaware I had only paid a deposit and still had £10.20 left to pay (I was in the wrong here of course). I went to the front desk to ask which lane to go on when he asked to pay £10.20 (which is again, completely understandable). I was unaware so politely asked why I needed this fee. He then strangely and immediately, became incredibly defensive and demeaning asking me to check my booking which I promptly did and quickly realised my mistake. I apologised quickly and told him I would pay now but for some strange reason he kept on saying 'check the booking, check the booking' and 'i'm telling you to pay it, don't question it', 'don't be rude to me' and 'i'm not desperate for your money'. I was very confused because I literally agreed to pay and apologised multiple times but, since he enjoyed his little power trip, kept going and saying 'you'll get a refund on monday'. Not wanting to ruin my night, I calmly stated AGAIN I would be happy to pay to which he finally agreed. This is NOT how you treat customers, it is rude and unacceptable. Overall incredibly aggressive and demeaning man-child with the emotional intelligence of a pineapple. The rest of the bar staff were lovely though.
Dear Terry, AP & the Rowans Team, I wanted to reach out to express our sincere thanks for hosting our corporate event at your venue. The event turned out wonderfully well, and we were thoroughly impressed. Your upgraded facilities were excellent, and the level of care we received contributed significantly to the smooth running of the evening. I would like to extend special recognition to AP, who was truly outstanding in looking after us throughout the event. His exceptional service and attention to detail made such a difference to our experience. See you next year!
Rowans Tenpin Bowl in Finsbury Park is a lively and varied entertainment space that manages to blend the casual thrill of a bowling alley with the buzz of a weekend hangout spot. With 24 fully air-conditioned lanes, it comfortably accommodates groups both large and small, while arcade games, pool tables, karaoke, DJs spinning in the evenings and a bar make it much more than just a bowling night. The atmosphere is energetic—especially during peak hours—but there are quieter moments midrange when the noise subsides, making it a nice option for more relaxed evenings too. On the flip side, a few things can dampen the experience depending on when you visit. During busy times, service can struggle—staff seem pressed, and ordering food or drinks may take longer than expected. Some reviews also mention that staff attitudes are hit-or-miss, which detracts from what is otherwise a fun night out. For visitors seeking a balance of entertainment, food, and atmosphere, Rowans definitely delivers—just plan ahead if you're going during peak hours.
Nice place. You can book in advance. Feels like underground. Stylish. You can buy drinks, order pizza, play bowling. There’s amusement part to it too ( bring a lot of £). Overall good fun & child friendly!
