Tenpin at the Merrion Centre completed its transformation in April with a fresh range of games and attractions to enjoy alongside the 26 bowling lanes that have been hosting gatherings for years.
Among the new attractions are three thrilling escape rooms, two private karaoke rooms, interactive darts and a vibrant new bar area, serving food, drinks, and delicious cocktails.
General manager Neil Maguire said that things have been “really positive”, saying: “There’s something for everybody and there shouldn’t ever be an instance where you are leaving feeling disappointed and like you didn’t get value for money.”
“Deals are also on throughout the week, especially our Tenpin Tuesday’s deal, where bowling and selected drinks are half price.”
