Tenpin Manchester Printworks

Always spotless and the atmosphere is very friendly. We prefer to travel to Manchester centre than go to our local bowling alley in Bury. Staff are friendly enough and price's are reasonable. We jave had food a couple of times and it not bad at all. Highly recommend visiting.

Went for a friends birthday and there wasn't anything wrong - just nothing amazing. Staff were really nice and easy to work with, the price was just too high for what you get, the bowling lanes are so small, other tenpins have average sized lanes and that's what we expected but when we got there to see these tiny lanes it was a shock, so we of course got a lot more points than usual as the pins are inherently closer. Clean and well managed place so yeah, 5 stars for everything else just the lane size paired with the unfair price compared to other bowling places slashes it to 3 stars. If up and around Manchester I say try it out!

We really had fun here, bowling, dart, table tennis, snooker and a lots of other activities there.

This was an absolute blast of a place which I stumbled across! Really good arcade games, everything works, clean, modern, friendly, staff friendly, dance mat gives you countless games (you will get sweaty) reasonable prices. Really funky inside with mad lights and cool decor, theres loads of space, serves food and drinks. TenPin is downstairs which is good as separates the arcade players so you can concentrate 😂 a must visit!

Absolutely ridiculous experience at Tenpin Printworks Manchester. I came here to celebrate my 14-year-old cousin’s birthday, and what should have been a fun day turned into pure frustration. I ordered a drink (a Sex on the Beach) to our bowling lane table — clearly for myself, as I’m 19. When the staff brought it over, I showed my ID with no issue. Then, out of nowhere, they asked my cousin for ID too. I was completely confused — the drink was for me, not her. When I questioned it, they insisted she also needed ID, which makes zero sense. Obviously, she’s 14 and doesn’t carry ID, so they refused to give me the drink and took it away. Honestly, what kind of logic is that? Are adults not allowed to have a drink just because they’re with someone younger? Do parents not come here with their kids and order drinks? To make things even worse, a member of staff then came over and told us not to “take breaks” between turns because we might overrun into the next game. So now we’re not even allowed to sit down for a minute during bowling? It felt like we were being rushed the entire time instead of actually enjoying the game we paid for. Overall, really poor experience. Overly strict, badly explained rules and staff that made the whole visit uncomfortable. Completely ruined what was meant to be a birthday celebration. Sort your policies out.
