‘Ultimate’ bowling giant with adult playgrounds, beer pong & karaoke is opening THREE huge UK venues this year
THREE brand new locations have been announced by an adult-only bowling franchise.
Known for its boutique bowling lanes, retro arcade games and lengthy cocktail menu, this venue turns into an adult playground after 7pm in most of its locations.
Lane7, which describes itself as an activity bar for adults, has revealed three new branches will open in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Leeds.
In Glasgow, Lane7 will take over a large event space underneath the central station which used to be the site of Platform, previously known as the Arches.
Since 2020, Edinburgh has enjoyed the bowling brand in its St James’ Quarter, making this recently announced site Lane7’s second location in the Scottish city.
But, the new Leeds site will mark the first Lane7 branch the northern city has seen.
According to a Lane7 spokesperson, Leeds has been “a long-held target city” for for one of their branches.
Lane7 is sure that “guests will be thrilled with the new 23,000sq ft location in the heart of the City Centre”.
Currently there are 24 locations across the country offering adults a variety of drinks, food and games such as arcade machines, darts, mini golf, curling, and beer pong.
Reviews from customers in other locations rave about the “awesome” gaming facilities and “buzzing” atmosphere suggesting these new hubs are much anticipated.
Construction for the three new branches is expected to begin at the end of March.
Lane7’s managing director Gavin Hughes hinted at the bowling giant potentially more locations later in the year.
He said: “We’ll be starting development of three new sites by the close of the first quarter, taking in some new locations and expanding further in others.
“We know 2026 is going to be another transformational year for the group.”
