Roxy Lanes Cardiff The Friary

You're walking into Queen Street and fancy something that doesn't involve sitting still with a cocktail menu. Roxy Lanes on Queenswest is exactly that — a sprawling bowling alley that's become the go-to spot for anyone wanting to actually do something whilst drinking. The lanes are slick, the bar stocks proper lagers and spirits, and there's a genuine buzz that comes from people actually playing rather than just posing. It's the kind of place where you can roll up with mates on a Friday and lose three hours without realising, nursing a pint between frames.
