A bowling alley, billiard hall and game arcade along the centrally-located Hengshan Lu. Sixteen bowling lanes occupy the front area of the venue, while billiard tables and arcades are located at the back. The place is well-kept, bowling lanes and pool tables are decent, tables and booths surprisingly clean. 168 rmb will get you 1.5 hours of bowling fun. The bowling shoe rental provides disposable socks.
The arcade area features a good variety of games to keep kids (and the young at heart) occupied: basketball arcades, car racing booths, shooter games, claw crane machines.
A small kiosk located at the center of the hall sells beverages (soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits by the bottle) and light snacks (instant noodles, chips, ice cream). Bigger groups can ask ahead if outside food can be brought in, though we did see some delivery guys drop off food to several patrons.
The staff is friendly and service is efficient. Few of them know a smattering of English, but be ready to bust out a translation app if you don’t speak Mandarin.
A great destination for friends or families looking for a few hours of fun. Also a solid bet for a tweens’ or teenagers’ birthday party, for team-buildings or after-work functions, and - because it’s so wholesome - for first dates. It’s recommended to book ahead for a bowling lane or pool table. Open everyday starting 8am, closes at midnight from Sunday-Thursday; open till 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
