Lane7 Aberdeen
Walk in or book a lane
Booking online secures a lane; walk-ins wait for one to come free.
Six lanes on Shiprow
Six lanes make the Aberdeen branch of Lane7 compact beside its ten-lane Bristol or eleven-lane Manchester siblings, and on a busy night bowling tends to be one game among several rather than the whole plan. The bar at 1 Shiprow, in the city centre, also runs pool, ping-pong, shuffleboard, darts and a row of arcade machines.
Each lane holds a maximum of seven bowlers, so a party of ten is split across two. Bowling starts at £10.50 a person, and Lane7's Game Changer bundles let a group add darts, pool or another game for a few pounds more. Turning up without a booking is allowed, but staff advise reserving ahead, and doing it early for larger groups. In term time this is an evening venue from Monday to Thursday, with doors opening late in the afternoon; Friday starts at 14:00 and the weekend at 11:00.
