Tenpin Manchester – Printworks

As the name suggests, TenPin Manchester – Printworks is a bowling alley in the Printworks. It’s family-friendly by day and over-18s only after 9pm.

If you don’t want to stay in (or on) your lane, you can also try out beer pong, karaoke, air hockey, arcade games, American pool and table tennis. It’s decent value for a wide range of rainy day entertainment.

There are cocktails, mocktails, prosecco trees and plenty of beer for boozy nights out. The vibe is neon and high-adrenaline. Not the place to go for a quiet chat but it’s a good bet for work dos and office parties, or even as a starting-point for stag or hen dos.

Food is available but they have you pegged as a captive audience – and one with beer munchies. For £15 you can have some nachos covered with guacamole and cheese. The 12” pizzas are perfectly adequate, though the selection is limited. There are better options not far away.
