Hollywood Bowl : Bristol Cribbs Causeway - Refurbishment

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

'LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!' ON £325,000 REFURBISHMENT AT HOLLYWOOD BOWL CRIBBS CAUSEWAY

The UK's largest tenpin bowling operator, The Hollywood Bowl Company, has invested £325,000 in the refurbishment of its Hollywood Bowl centre in The Venue at Cribbs Causeway.

Completed prior to the Easter holiday, a key operating window for the company; the centre remained open for the duration of the project, and celebrated its new look with a VIP event on Thursday 4th May

Steve Burns, CEO at The Original Bowling Company said: "We're very excited to have unveiled our new-look centre in Cribbs Causeway. We've evolved the brand considerably over the last couple of years and Cribbs Causeway is a great example of a next generation Hollywood Bowl.

"Our centre refurbishments have all received fantastic customer reaction and are exceeding our commercial expectations. We're looking forward to continuing this trend with the new look Bristol centre."

Cribbs Causeway investment details

The redesigned centre represents the 'new generation' of Hollywood Bowl, including 26 fully computerised lanes with plush seating, a new 'Hollywood Diner' restaurant concept and upgraded bar, with new décor celebrating all things Americana.

There are four new, exclusive VIP lanes decorated with portraits of Hollywood legends allowing visitors to get the A-list treatment and bowl in a plush, roped off area, with bowling balls that look like giant pool balls.

Any of the Centre's lanes can be pre-booked. With classic booths in the new look diner area available to enjoy freshly-made American classics, including handcrafted burgers, gourmet dogs and shakes, Hollywood Bowl is perfectly positioned as not only a great place to enjoy a game of bowling, but also an entertainment haven for families and adult fun seekers alike.

The Centre's revamped bar serves a variety of drinks and traditional cocktails - making it an ideal venue for night time trade.
