Dog Bowl Manchester Bowling Review: January 2018
Located under the arches just near Manchester’s Oxford street is Dog Bowl which has a fun and fabulous five full length ten pin bowling lane. Spare some time and Strike up the right mood on your evening out and bowl your friends away at this fab fun filled venue.
Quirky, cool and eclectic interiors include a mega model Ten Pin, rainbow retro lighting and Manchester landscape art. Ooo also look out for the giant disco ball, you will know what I mean when you pop by for a visit!
Saturday Sessions, bowling on Lane 5 was so much fun! A big High Five to all the Dog Bowl team for looking after us all evening. Not one to show off, but overall, I was victorious in winning, so was super buzzed.
Enjoying the sweet taste of victory was made even more fruitful with some fab mocktails including the Strawberry Bam Bam mixed with pineapple juice, strawberry, lemonade and topped off with fresh strawberries. Also, the Coco Barmy shaken up with coconut water, coconut cream, pineapple juice, guava juice and a chunky wedge of pineapple.
It can be a Gutter is you lose, but make it a Clean Game, don’t Foul and just see this as a perfect excuse to get your game on again, smash it and bowl your way to some super Strike’s.
Thank you for reading 😊

Oh I love that light! Is it a good price to bowl? We took our kids bowling for the first time last weekend and I was so surprised that my 18 month old got a strike.

That looks a lot trendier than our nearest bowling alley which has frankly seen better days. The bar is nowhere near as interesting as the one at the Dog Bowl too!
