Games venue with ‘first in Scotland’ entertainment to open soon

A new entertainment venue with battling cages and darts is set to open in Glasgow city centre.

The space will be a downstairs addition to late-night boutique bowling alley Bowlrama on Glassford Street.

Described by the owner as a “ground-breaking social entertainment experience”, it will include Scotland’s first-ever immersive batting cages, with players getting a choice of baseball, tennis or cricket modes.

It will also have augmented ‘disco’ darts, retro arcade game machines, classic arcade games, a party bar and a restaurant.

At the same time, the established Bowlarama has also been upgraded as bowling lanes were expanded from four to eight and equipped with next-generation technology with automated bumpers, sophisticated neon lights and more.

Owner Ian McColm said: “Creating fun social experiences and bringing people together is my passion. The fantastic response to Bowlarama since its opening in 2019 inspired me to elevate our offerings further.

“Activity-led social experiences are in high demand, and we wanted to introduce something truly unique to Glasgow. We’ve invested significantly in technology and user experience, allowing guests to seamlessly plan multi-activity days for friends, corporate events, or family gatherings.”

The new floor of games will open later in August and welcome guests seven days a week, from 11am until midnight.
