It’s so much more than just ten-pin bowling.
The city has been spoiled with new openings over the past year – despite the pandemic’s efforts to grind it all to a halt – and joining the ever-growing list of new Manchester hotspots is Lane7, a brand new ten-pin bowling destination that offers so much more than just bowling.
Becoming one of Manchester’s go-to destinations for mate-date socials, Lane7 is more than just a bowling alley – with tons of activities to try out under just one roof.
Bringing all the fun with their unparalleled ten-pin bowling experience, guests can enjoy ‘immersive’ games of bowling – with light triggers, party vibes when you hit a strike, and seriously cool industrial vibes.
The aesthetics shed the retro American theme that has become a copy-paste look for bowling alleys across the UK, bringing a more Mancunian vibe to the new venue. If that wasn’t all, guests also get to enjoy table service at each lane, with classic milkshakes, cocktails, and craft beers all up for grabs.
And the fun doesn’t end there. Elsewhere in the venue, guests can take advantage of a fun karaoke experience (with private rooms to avoid embarrassment!), retro arcade games, and a brand new shooting pod concept – where guests can ‘unleash fire’ in a private booth. DJs will also be taking over the booth day and night, bringing the party vibes no matter the day.
For those looking for more social games, the venue is also home to pool and beer pong tables, as well as shuffleboard, ping pong, and darts – which are all available to hire by the hour.
The opening this spring also saw Fat Hippo’s first venture into Manchester, with stacked gourmet burgers (including their famous peanut butter burger) on the menu. The burger joint serves up both beef and chicken burgers (both as meaty as the next), as well as vegan patties for those who prefer it meat-free.
Lane7’s COO Graeme Smith said of its opening last spring: “We’re excited to introduce Lane7 to Manchester this spring, after a tough year we’re all overdue a good night out and that’s where we come in to welcome you to our extravagant world of all things fun! Come in grab a delicious bite to eat, sip on some amazing drinks, have a round or two of first-class bowling and immerse yourself in some games.
“Whether with friends, family or colleagues, our mission is to create an unparalleled atmosphere where you can just let loose. Our team’s role is to make you feel right at home, we pride ourselves on our incredible service and that’s what will make your time here one to remember. We can’t wait to bring Manchester the night out it deserves!”
Lane7 is open now and can be found within the Great Northern Warehouse.
