D.

Ten pin bowling alley with bar at entrance. Food platters are available and there is also a good range of pinball machines.

S.

Went here for my work xmas do. Love that you can just wear your own shoes and they have a little outside courtyard. Boss organised platters and they did a vegan one for me which was delicious.

M.

Immaculate service from unaiki who made the best drinks made sure we enjoyed our time bowling, the food was also 5 stars delicious. 10/10 would go again

K.

Just great! Staff are always welcoming and food's great. Great place for a pint and some bowling

T.

Awesome team of people! Thanks for today. Food and gaming experience 👌👌 also has a styley outdoor bit to sit, we took my boys cake out there and sung happy birthday :)

K.

Pretty great place to go bowling in town! Highly recommend making a booking if you're going in the evening, during the weekends or have a big group of friends. They get quite busy!

Z.

The staff were great but there's just something wrong with have bowling pins on marionette strings and my group was pretty sure the lanes are not flat. Otherwise it was a good time.

i.

Great entertainment complex with bowling, pool tables an air air hockey table and all the latest pinball machines to play.

W.

Good pizzas, chicken wings and beer. Able to have an unhurried meal without being rushed out by staff to turn tables over.

m.

Cool place! Can drink and play bowling. it's a mint venue for any sort of function or for a date 😉

M.

Amazing customer service today from blonde woman and man. Catered to our every need quickly and efficiently with a smile. Highly recommend.

W.

Awesome venue, great service and some very tasty snacks. I would highly recommend.

A.

Awesome bowling experience. I love going here with my friends and beating all of them by 50 points.

M.

Our family gets together for an extended weekend in July for a birthday & wedding anniversary celebrations. Yum char then a game of ten pin is the programme for the daylight. On the very very rare occasion the weather is fine with no wind we ride croc bikes. We love going here for our yearly fun extended family treat. You can wear your own flat shoes & there's a big choice of bowling ball sizes. Food is average. Kids liked the big orange drink dispenser. We always to book to avoid a wait.

J.

Great bowling experience, I was upstairs for my games with my mates. Would definitely recommend coming here sometime.

B.

The lady works there provided a wonderful service, much appreciated. So we went there for WOAP burger which was tasty and huge, I could love it more if it would less doneness especially with a bun like tha, I missed the juices and littile bit more sauce. Quality is excellent, taste is good, service is very decent.

J.

Friendly staff, comfortable and well laid out. $12 per glass of tap beer.

K.

Beautiful place to have a great evening with your friends and family to enjoy the beautiful game of Bowling.

B.

Two great games of bowling & the best chicken burger ever (Wgtn on a plate burger). Sangria jugs only $18 - great value! All the staff were really excellent as well. Will definitely go back here again!

E.

This place is incredible, ideal for a date night or a few beers with the crew. Awesome atmosphere and great customer service - trust me I would know!

R.

What a great fun experience for a family on a Saturday night. We took our two young teens for some 10 pin bowling and they both said it was the best night ever. Great range of bowling alleys, fantastic decor whether it be the lanes, seating areas, pool table area, eating area, bar or pinball machine area. Staff very friendly and efficient. Pays to ring and book a lane slot as this is a very popular and iconic bowling alley and the only one in the heart of the city.

B.

We had a lot of fun here.! Thanks to the team, you guys wee awesome.

A.

Great facility and good prices. Definitely the go to for ten pin bowling in Wellington. Has Free Wi-Fi and the lanes are always left clean and tidy.

H.

Great place for social bowling, a bit of fun with your friends. Good bar and food. The venue itself is excellent. Bathrooms were tidy and clean. Good fun all round, but definitely not the place for serious bowlers.

M.

Great staff helped me sort out V Cert so I could enjoy food Pinball

N.

I loved it there fun place to be with friends,staff were great.

J.

Really nice place. The bowling ally is great and so is the food and drink

d.

Play and drink and enjoy being with Friends what more do you want? Friendly stuff on hand makes coming here a home away from home.. What are you waiting for??

A.

Awesome bowling its a great little spot for families too

T.

This is a really nice bowling alley with 5 or so pool tables. Prices for bowling are good and pool tables are $10 an hour. It is however a shame that under 18's can only stay till 9pm due to it having a licensed bar. Enjoyable activity for all but disappointing leaving early.

c.

Pretty cool place. Good music. Affordable drinks. Fun place to go. Also they do pool tables and table games

c.

Had lots of fun here and really good service. Cheers team

C.

This place was wonderful the staff I really great Plus they have a stranger things pinball machine 🥰🥰🥰 The staff are more then willing to take a photo for Ya too Thanks guys

S.

Friendly staff fun clean environment staff were very conscious of current covid settings

J.

Great service. Also, thankfully squeezed me in for bowling even though it was busy school holidays. My G&T was pretty good aswell.

H.

Great experience, came in last Friday, awesome service from the Blonde 'mulleted' man, will definitly be back!

R.

Surprisingly good beer selection on tap. Food platters were very good. Ten pin bowling, snooker, video screens as you would expect

M.

Been here a few times and it's usually a good time, however today we had a bad experience with one female staff member who came across unwelcoming and rude when asking for a pool table, looked a bit antsy and made us feel the same.

A.

Booked a lane for 9 tonight. Had 2 of the best games and the service was fantastic. The lady in the booth as we came in greeted us and was so helpful. Definitely deserves a raise as she went above and beyond in making sure we had a good time. Thank you.

B.

Great pinball machines. All well maintained.

S.

Had a farewell event here and the Manager was extremely friendly and went out of his way to accommodate us. Great set up and great laughs.

a.

Took the children there and they loved it. Got to wear their own shoes (while the hire shoes looked ok...wearing your own shoes rocked!). They also had videos playing of old school music and sport (had live feed of the cricket when we were there). It was bowling made easy and with the reading car park space right next door it makes it super accessible and a great wet weather option. Priced very reasonable and is no backwater bowling alley..all automated and made super easy for kids and adults! Loved it!

S.

Cam and his team are awesome and they go the extra mile for you. Service, bowling and food 10/10. great for large family bookings. We will go there again.

G.

Good ambience great bar and good food. My friends agreed emphatically that the $80 meat platter was worth $30 tops but overall the food is good, ambience great, the bowling what you make of it and the outdoor smoking area frustratingly attractive to non smokers who wish we could breathe what you're expelling. Yuk. Highly recommended!

A.

Bowling was fine, but some of the staff were walking around like they didn't want to be there and were inconvenienced by customers

A.

Very nice place and good customer service.

A.

I went here for my friends birthday, it was pretty fun! They have a variety of different bowling ball sizes, and its got great interior design. The only thing is it has really creepy cgi on the score screen e.g 'good try' with a gorrila and a weird man at a table. My friends and I had a laugh at it though, overall four stars.

S.

A fun evening out with food but the menu seemed really limited to fried food only

K.

Had a fab time at Lanes tonight! Outstanding service from Ethan, Nicola and Reuben. 10/10 would lose a game of bowling here again

R.

Very good bowling alley.

E.

Great place to spend an evening with friends or book out a room for a special function. Well stocked bar and good finger food. You have to wear their shoes but otherwise it's a pretty relaxed dress code.

B.

Had my stag doo here. Awesome service and very accommodating towards the party that were with me. 10/10!!!

J.

Nice venue for a little party. Played a game of bowling which was very spacious for our larger group. Friendly staff and quick service. Very nice facility. Will return.

S.

Great atmosphere. Awesome eve.

Z.

A little pricey as far as bowling goes, but it's a unique bowling experience. This is more of an entertainment place/bar that has bowling as opposed to a bowling alley. Nonetheless, neat for something different. You can wear your own shoes. The bowling balls and lanes were a little bit beaten up but nothing horrible.

s.

Hosted my daughters birthday party. Very good service and friendly staff. Nice pizzas 🍕👍👍

S.

Food suprising good considering I thought it was just a bowling alley. The environment for bowling is more sophisticated than normal and I would actually go back just for a casual lunch. Chicken salad amazing

L.

Nice and friendly staff, great facilities. Food was excellent (compliments to the chef) could extend the vegetarian options a bit. Certainly make this place a destination to visit when in Wellington.

J.

Ethan, Nicola and Rueben were superb!! Excellent service throughout the night, highly recommended. If I could give 10 stars I would ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

T.

Yummy food. Reasonably good bowling facilities. Lovely bar decor. Clean bathrooms. Pleasant but aloof service. Nice selection of drinks. Great environment for group fun.

P.

Great social place to meet up with friends and have a few drinks and throw a ball. Great atmosphere but in terms of serious bowling???

J.

Great place to burn some time! Foosball table is brill. Pool tables are in great condition. Recommended 👌🏽

G.

Staff were great. Lanes a little dark for liking and hard to find correct ball for fingers. But excellent place to go for fun

M.

Awesome, great place to hang out and enjoy

P.

The food here is decent. It has live sport. But bowling is overpriced. Two games which last less than an hour unless you gave a big group, are $25. An expensive family outing.

J.

Great bowling venue.

B.

This place was much better than I expected. We went in for a drink while waiting for a film to start at the Reading Cinema and it actually works quite nicely as its own bar, rather than just an add-on to a bowling alley.

S.

Great venue although can get quite busy, especially on Friday/Saturday nights. Unable to get a lane for bowling as a walk in on a Friday night but still able to play some pool and have a drink

D.

Had fun night bowling with friends. Recommended.

E.

Great bowling alley with restaurant, menu is far too pricey to be considered for casual snacks though. If you're planning on going, book in advance!

L.

Amazing place.. Its a pity with the construction going on it hides the place well. Atmosphere is great and its a little gem. Will definitely be back on our next trip down

A.

Awesome service from Ethan, Nicola and Reuben tonight, great fun and would recommend to anyone :)

P.

Very nice bowling alley with great food and good beer selection. Staff are a bit slow but helpful and great environment for socialising. Awesome venue.

J.

Really great place, the bowling alleys themselves are in good condition, drinks are great, and the staff were amazing!

P.

Fantastic place plenty to do and staff amazing.

m.

Great looks, good pool and bowling, visited this place many times 10/10 would recommend

A.

Great place. Quality service and so much fun.

B.

Great service and facilities, good place to gather with friends or for work parties! Haven't compared prices with other places in Welly (if there's any) but they seem fair!

M.

Overpriced and seems a bit run down. Definitely not worth buying food or drinks here, but bowling is bowling so it does that part.

D.

Its s nice place to play pool and 10 pin bowling in Wellington city with nice drinks

A.

Loud Music and usual lighting make Bowling hard. Not a lot of space for large groups- 10 or so. Would go again.

J.

Great fun, some beers and bowling, what more could you want!

S.

Tried the Wellington on a plate burger. Was amazing, huge and really tasty. Also came with chips and gravy. Highly recommend.

D.

Good bar snack and reasonably pruced drinks, little bit loud towards the end of the night but a good venue for an afterwork relaxed drink with a game bowling

K.

Nice atmosphere in here. Good selection of food and drinks available. All these make for a good outing here.

C.

What a great place. The staff were friendly. The bowling was great fun. Try the shuffleboard!!! Will definitely return!

T.

Great night!!! Heard the crispy chicken burger is coming back- MUST TRY! Awesome service and plays absolute bangers non stop!

G.

Great staff, great price and lots of fun. Just need to improve the bathrooms but overall great

L.

Great atmosphere, awesome entertainment venue. The food leaves something to be desired but nice enough.

J.

Really great venue to use for an outing for all ages I've been there allot of times whilst I've been living in Wellington and I'd go back with no doubt in my mind!

K.

Very nice!!, especially when the fire alarm went off because of a birthday candle. Personally I think the fire alarm went off because of the hot girl next to me 😉😉😉

m.

Good place to hang out with friends. Good choice of food especially the platers choice.

M.
