County Dublin

Dublin: four Leisureplex centres, two bowling bars and an airport club

Seven alleys serve the county, and they fall into three clear groups: the Leisureplex family centres in Coolock, Tallaght, Blanchardstown and Charlestown, the Lane7 bowling bars in Dundrum and Dublin 2, and the ten lanes at ALSAA beside Dublin Airport.

The Leisureplex four: the most lanes in one county

Between them the four Leisureplex sites hold 72 lanes, according to Tenpin Ireland: 20 each in Coolock and Tallaght, 16 each in Blanchardstown and Charlestown. The chain prices by the game, €11.50 for an adult from Monday to Thursday and €12.75 from Friday to Sunday on its group-wide list, and it runs a cheaper Sunday-morning game at €8 that names all four centres. No branch publishes its hours on the website, so the timetables on these listings come from each centre's Google listing.

Blanchardstown needs a closer look before a long trip. Fingal County Council approved converting the building to retail in February 2026; when we checked in November no closing date had been announced and the centre was still trading on the Leisureplex site.

Bars with lanes, and a sports club that takes the public

Lane7 treats bowling as part of a night out. Dundrum, on Level 1 of The Pembroke District, was the chain's first Irish venue, and the Clarendon Row bar off Chatham Street followed; both stay open until 00:30 on Fridays and Saturdays and price bowling from €10.50 and €9.50 a person.

ALSAA on Old Airport Road is a members' sports complex, yet its lanes are open to everyone. Non-members pay €9 for an adult game or €47 for a lane-hour, members and their guests less, and the alley runs leagues on most evenings.

Questions

Dublin bowling questions

Which Dublin alley is easiest to reach without a car?

Lane7 Dublin City Centre on Clarendon Row is a short walk from Grafton Street, and Lane7 Dundrum sits inside Dundrum Town Centre. Leisureplex Charlestown is served by four bus routes, according to the chain.

Do I need to be an ALSAA member to bowl there?

No. ALSAA publishes a separate non-member column: €9 for an adult game and €47 for a lane for an hour, as listed in November 2026. Members and guests playing with a member pay less.

Is Leisureplex Blanchardstown closing?

Planning permission to convert the building to a retail unit was granted in February 2026, but no closing date had been announced by 11 November 2026, when the centre was still listed by Leisureplex. Phone 01 822 3030 before travelling.

Can children go to Lane7?

Lane7 runs as a bar with bowling rather than a family centre, and it handles group and party bookings by email. Check the venue's age policy for the time of day you plan to go.
