Large indoor entertainment venue in Manchester city centre with bowling, multiple restaurants, bars, and cinema. Suits older children and teens rather than young families; several venues have closed in recent years.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best suited for families with older children and teenagers looking for bowling or a meal in a central Manchester location. Younger children have sparse dedicated options. Check which restaurants and bars are currently trading before planning a visit - closures have reduced the lineup significantly. Evening visits trend adult-heavy.

“I was very pleasantly surprised. Came to Tank and Paddle for works Christmas do. Not the kind of place I would usually frequent. However can't fault the service or the food. And being upstairs for our bottomless brunch. Great value for money.”

“I actually came here to go to the Nuffield health business. I did wonder through the Paintwork place and it looks interesting. Quite a few places that look good to eat during the day and obviously turn into vibrant and busy bars at night. I have not actually been in any of the bars for over 16 years, but i remember that they are more geared towards the younger aged drinkers. Hence why i never revisited. My younger friends that go, state they are fun. Im sure there used to be a drag show bar round here somewhere. Maybe another past memory. Ohh, the Nuffield health studio was good.”
