Box (Sports Bar)

The new sports bar opens this weekend in Deansgate and features over 20 screens, sure to please sports fans who want to have a pint and watch the TV without desperately trying to see past a crowd of people. It boasts huge beer tanks filled with fresh Budvar and foods like hand-formed burgers, marinated kebabs and Box platters.

You can check the menu for yourself on the bar’s website. 

Lane7

This bowling alley is glow-in-the-dark, perfect for snapping photos and enjoying the atmosphere while bowling and drinking. It also features graffiti karaoke rooms for those who’d rather sing their hearts out. If you need to be convinced of how good the place is, Olympic Champion Usain Bolt has already visited the neon paradise twice.
