Gutterball Lincoln
Bowling in the old Boots building
The empty Boots store at 311-312 High Street was approved for leisure use by the city council in May 2024, and Gutterball now runs its Lincoln bowling and games bar over two floors there. Bowling sits alongside beer pong, digital darts, pool, shuffleboard and arcade machines, with a cocktail bar rather than a kitchen: the venue serves no food.
Prices are sold as packages, from £13 per person off-peak for one game of bowling plus one other game, rising to four games. Weekday sessions start at 12:00 and weekend ones at 10:00, with midnight finishes every day. All ages are welcome until 21:00, with under-18s accompanied, and after that it is adults only. The step-free entrance is at the back of the building, behind B&M and Cornhill Market off Waterside South.
