Olympia Leisure

Lanes and arcades on Foreshore Road
Olympia stands on Foreshore Road, the seafront strip of Scarborough's South Bay, and combines an arcade it bills as the largest in Yorkshire with a 12-lane ten-pin alley. The lanes have been modernised inside and given an updated scoring system, and the bar is only a few steps from the approach.
The fully licensed bar opens onto a balcony, where smoking is allowed, with a panorama from the castle and harbour on one side to the Spa and the cliffs towards Bempton on the other. Private, air-conditioned karaoke rooms take groups of six to 20 and have a bell for table service, and there are interactive darts lanes too, and the venue pitches itself at office parties and student celebrations. Opening hours and bowling prices were not published on the website in November 2026; ring 01723 377960 before going.
