Lane7 Manchester

Eleven lanes on Deansgate

A wraparound bar is the centrepiece at Lane7's Deansgate venue, with eleven lanes set out around it in Unit 3 of 235 Deansgate. Two karaoke rooms take eight and twelve people respectively, booked by the 55-minute slot, and each lane is shared by up to seven players.

The games list is a long one: mini golf, shuffleboard, pool, darts, ping pong, beer pong, back shuffle and an arcade. Bowling starts from £10.50 a head, and a banner on the venue page advertises unlimited playtime from £18. The kitchen turns out loaded pizzas, hot dogs and sharing snacks to go with the cocktails. Friday and Saturday are the long nights, from late morning until 01:00, while Monday to Thursday begins mid-afternoon.
