A NEW American-style sports bar is set to open in Glasgow – and video game fans will love it.

The venue, located downstairs from Bowlarama on the city’s Glassford Street, will feature four state-of-the-art steel batting cages.

Visitors to the entertainment hub can look forward to playing sports such as baseball, cricket and tennis.

Up to six players can enjoy the high-energy and addictive games per cage.

The bar will also feature three augmented darts lanes, enhanced with the latest technology and graphics.

Meanwhile, gamers can make the most of retro arcade machines, including Down the Clown, and a two-player NBA Basketball Hoops game.

There are also classic arcade games like Pac-Man, Street Fighter II and Pinball, alongside air hockey and Skill Shooter.

The fully licensed downstairs bar will serve up signature cocktails, shooters, and a selection of snacks and casual sharing dishes like burgers, wings and tenders available from the first-floor restaurant.

Upstairs at Bowlarama, the bowling lanes have expanded from four to eight.

The venue is independently operated by entrepreneur Ian McColm, who launched Glasgow’s Tiki Bar and Kitsch Inn in 2010 and Bowlarama in late 2019.

He 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.”

Downstairs at Bowlarama will open later this month, and is located at 20 Glassford Street in Glasgow.

The upstairs bowling alley and restaurant will remain open from 12 noon until 3 am seven nights a week.
