A bit like Mark Ruffallo: this place is charmingly dishevelled, totally hip and a pleasure to do. BBL is a veritable adults' playground, complete with semi-private karaoke booths, sprawling central bar and, yep, you guessed it, a series of bowling lanes. Retro-themed and totally open plan, it lies within the bowels of a hotel and, with its 1950s theme, offers the kind of under-one-roof fun that would do the Happy Days gang proud.
