“Booked for 1 hour today and it was excellent, from first check staff where helpful and a good choice of beers behind the bar . Unlike the major chains there was no rush which made for a very enjoyable hour.”

“Great staff so helpful! Lovely selection of drinks, so much to do only did the karaoke but will definitely be back to bowl. Helped me find my bag the day after since I left it and the staff were so helpful”

“Great venue, one of my faves in Bristol. You can listen to music, play pool, or bowling, or just chat, without any of these impeding on each other.”
💬 What parents mention
Overview
The Lanes in central Bristol combines five stringless bowling lanes with three private karaoke rooms, pool tables, table football, and a covered heated outdoor courtyard. Ray's Pizza and a full bar operate on-site. The venue hosts live music events and club nights alongside regular family-accessible sessions. Staff are notably unhurried — no pressure to vacate lanes early. Karaoke rooms are on an upper floor with sparse staff access for drink orders.
