I don't think it has changed since opening in the early 90's. Theres ripped carpets, flaky paintwork and chipped balls (ooo er!). Only the shoes have been updated, as even up until recently the shoes looked like they just hopped off the set of 'Oliver Twist'. The toilets are also a state and are crying out for work, but then they are used a lot by passing chavs who u...more

For those who live or who are familiar to the Island will know LA Bowl well, for those that don't, here is a brief summary. The Island is still quite backward in many respects, we still don not have a decent 'venue' for live music and up until recently we did not have a bowling alley. In fact many now will say that LA Bowl doesn't really cut the mustard. Situated on the seafront at Ryde is the Pavillion, an ageing dance hall that has been 'tastefully' remodelled into a bowling alley. That was several years ago now and the place is a bit rough around the edges. As you walk into the Pavillion you are greeted with a selection of loud video games with ...  Read the complete review

LA Bowl, Ryde, Isle of Wight... LA Bowl is the one and only place where you can play bowling on full sized bowling lanes. There are other places on the island where bowling is available but the lanes are smaller and I guess it would not be classes as proper bowling. LA Bowl is situated on the esplanade along Ryde seafront. It is clearly visible from the road and easy to find with directions given on many sign posts. There is a large car park out the back of the complex with plenty of space even in the summer, even if the parking in charged. LA Bowl itself seems rather shabby and run down inside the building there is a small ...  Read the complete review

I didn't suggest L.A Bowl (my guess it was 'adambrown43'), but seeing as it's only around 100 yards from my house, I thought I had better review it! Located on Ryde Esplanade in the Isle of Wight, L.A Bowl is housed in the old pavilion building - a grand construction dating back to 1926. It was apparently made from the same mould as the Pavilion on the Isle of Bute, which was built two years earlier. In 1991 there was a controversial plan to knock the building down, and although the interior was removed, L.A Bowl stepped in to convert it to an entertainment facility. The back of the premises are literally a few yards away from the sea wall, and as such, the ...  Read the complete review
