Lane7 Cardiff
Under Imperial Gate
Below Imperial Gate on St Mary Street, Lane7 Cardiff occupies a basement unit within walking distance of Cardiff Central station and the main shopping and nightlife streets. It describes itself as an activity bar rather than a traditional alley, with boutique bowling lanes at the centre and arcade machines, beer pong, darts, karaoke, mini golf, shuffleboard and pool around them.
Hours run late. Thursday and Friday open from 12:00 until 02:00 and Saturday from 11:00 to 02:00, while the other days close at midnight. The menu covers loaded pizzas, hot dogs and sharing snacks next to classic serves and signature cocktails, and live DJs play on busy nights. The Cardiff page quotes a Game Changer price of £15 per person off-peak for bowling plus one other game, above the £13 listed at several other Lane7 venues.
