Riverside Bowl

You'll find yourself genuinely surprised by how much fun you're having at this seafront entertainment complex. Sure, it's technically in Wallasey, but the Marine Promenade location means you get proper Mersey views between strikes and laser tag sessions. The bowling lanes are decent enough, but it's the multi-level laser tag arena that really gets people going - proper fog-filled mayhem that works whether you're eight or thirty-eight. The bar does a solid job keeping everyone lubricated, and the food's better than it has any right to be for a bowling alley. Weekend evenings get properly buzzy with hen dos and birthday parties, but weekday afternoons are surprisingly chilled if you fancy a few frames and a pint with the sound of seagulls outside.
