OK, so we all know golf isn't really golf unless it contains a merry go round or a windmill or something. So what would you think of one that has a ferris wheel made from spooky skulls!?
Throughout the year you can enjoy this indoor activity in the heart of London's Funky East End! And it's just as well that this edgy style can be found in Brick Lane. The decor, obstacles, music and even selection of drinks compliments the environment of East London's alternative scene.
The venue hosts 4 awesome courses that caters for your mini golf needs. Each titled with boys names (Bruce, Pablo, Bozo and Gary) and contains 9 holes.
Lovers of all things horror will especially find the Bozo route appealing. Themed on creepy clowns, the arena will guide you through quirky and gruesome obstacles. These include knocking your ball through a creepy clown face, across a grave and a hall of mirrors.
The motor theme (Gary) tends to be a fan favourite, notably due to the loop-to-loops and an awesome slide that you go down! How's that for interactivity eh!? You'll even find a replica of Del Boy's three wheeler! The icing on the cake are the final holes in a darkened room decorated in luminous paint!
If you're a bit of a film buff you'll be interested in the movie theme (Bruce). Sets are based on blockbuster classics like Jurassic Park, Jaws and Star Wars. Finally there's the jungle setting (Pablo). Here you'll travel along rope bridges and past Aztec temples in an Indiana Jones style adventure.
Too 'effin right it is! Finding the weather is too cold - no worries, it's indoors! It's dark outside - Indoors pal! A bit drizzly... OK you get the picture.
If you ask me, the shear variety of apparatus makes the place very appealing and is well worth revisits! What is particularly remarkable is that the tone is just right. This place is for adults - And it's reflected in the decor, soundtracks and drinks. Speaking of which, a key bonus is that smaller bars can be found on route. You won't need to traipse back to main bar for a top up.
If you happen to be around Shoreditch way, I say pop in. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
