Empire Bowl (Empire, Skegness)
Bowling at Bell Leisure's Empire
A public entertainment venue on the seafront, with full disabled access to the first floor according to the operator. Lanes can be booked on the Bell Leisure website or by phone.
Ten lanes above the Skegness seafront
Upstairs at The Empire, on the main seafront strip of Grand Parade, Bell Leisure runs a 10-lane, full-size ten-pin alley with an American theme. The operator states that the first floor has full disabled access, and the lanes use sync scoring with PinPix, which takes a picture of each bowler and puts it on the screen during play.
Next to the lanes, the Manhattan Sports Bar shows Sky Sports and TNT Sport and holds six full-size pool tables, arcade ticket machines and interactive darts; its diner serves burgers, hand-stretched pizzas and sharing platters, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. Prices are short and simple: £8 an adult, £6 for children up to 15 and £25 for two adults with two children, with the second game at half price. After 20:00 bowling becomes unlimited for £13.
