The opening date for Cardiff's stylish new bowling alley and gaming venue has been revealed. Roxy Lanes is taking over the former DW Sports unit in Queen Street in the city centre and promises to "bring the playground to the bar" with a host of games and activities.
The chain currently has seven sites across the UK – in Leeds, Bristol, Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Sheffield – but the new Cardiff branch will be its first in Wales. Permission for the site at The Friary was granted in December, nearly 18 months after DW Sports collapsed into administration and left the unit vacant.
As well as 10-pin bowling a range of activities will be on offer at Roxy Lanes with pool, shuffleboard, beer pong, basketball, air hockey, and ice-free curling all under one roof as well a batting cage, live sport, and karaoke. There's not long to go until visitors can try out the games for themselves with the venue set to open its door for the first time on April 14 with bookings already being taken. While opening times are yet to be confirmed the bowling alley is expected to remain open from 10am to 1.30am between Sunday and Wednesday and from 10am to 3.30am from Thursday to Saturday.
