Bowling at the Star City complex

Star City, the leisure complex on Watson Road in Nechells, houses this 28-lane Tenpin just off the A47. Parking is on site, and buses link the complex with Birmingham city centre. The lanes have lighting effects, with bumpers and ramps for small players.

Between frames there are two karaoke rooms for up to ten, Houdini's escape rooms, table tennis, pool and arcade games, and the bar sends food out to the lanes. Weekend mornings open at 09:00, and the late nights are Friday and Saturday, when the lanes stay open until 01:00. Booking online on 11 Nov 2026 priced one game from £9.95, and Tenpin Tuesday halves bowling prices each week.
