A four-centre chain's Athlone branch
The Diskin Centre on Grace Road is home to the Athlone branch of The Planet, one of four centres the chain runs alongside Cork, Ennis and Galway. Bowling shares the building with American pool, interactive darts, shuffleboard, laser tag, soft play, astro turf, a 9D cinema and, the newest addition, padel courts.
You can pay per player or per lane here. A single game costs €9 for adults and €8 for under-14s and students, and the booking page estimates 15 minutes for two players up to an hour for six. Groups of up to six can take a lane by the hour for €47. Adults have the Bowl'n'Beer deal, two games and a drink from the bar for €20, and Apache Pizza can be ordered at an in-house kiosk from mid-afternoon.
