Durham Bowling and Games Bar

Oh no, honey, bowling is just the beginning. Think of Lane7 Durham as an activity bar that has everything you didn’t know you needed. Whether you’re smashing out strikes in our bowling alley, showing off your competitive streak in pool, or settling a score on our retro arcade games, we’ve got it all and more. Let’s be real—you’ll probably end up spending half the night deciding what to do first. Good luck with that.

Ah, the age-old question: how much do I need to budget for all this fun? Good news—we won’t break the bank. Prices at Lane7 Durham are pretty chill. Bowling starts from £9.50 per person, and our arcade games and activities are equally budget-friendly, so you’ll have enough left over for a cocktail or two (because what’s bowling without a drink in hand?).

Duh. What’s better than drinks and games with your squad? Nothing, that’s what. Bowling lanes hold up to 7 people at once, and you can always spread across two, three, four. We’re the perfect Durham games bar for that night out when you want to do something a little more than just sit in a pub. Bring your office, your friends, your crush, or even that one mate who claims they’re “really bad at bowling” (they’re lying). Either way, Lane7 Durham is ready for you and your crew.

Let’s be honest, nobody wants a boring first date. Lane7 is the ultimate Durham activity bar for showing off your fun side. Imagine breaking the ice over some casual (or competitive) beer pong, followed by some flirty darts. Throw in some drinks, and you’ve got yourself a vibe. Win-win.

If you’re the spontaneous type, feel free to rock up and hope for the best. But if you don’t fancy the risk, we recommend booking ahead because, newsflash, everyone in Durham wants to be here. Head to our booking page, lock in your lane, and guarantee yourself some gaming Durham-style. Otherwise, prepare for a wait—because good things come to those who plan (sometimes). For big groups, lock it in early, like…extra early.
