Bowling with bars on Sheares Street
Just off Washington Street, the Mardyke Entertainment Complex covers about 30,000 sq ft on Sheares Street in Cork city centre. Bowling is one part of a long list: the Cork Chamber listing names pool, snooker, AR darts, private karaoke pods, bit pong and shuffleboard, and the complex also houses the Woolshed Baa & Grill sports bar and the Barcadia retro arcade bar. Food comes from Holy Smoke.
Evenings here are mainly for adults. Under-18s must leave by 19:00 from Monday to Thursday and by 18:00 from Friday to Sunday, and must be with a parent or guardian. Bowling is charged per person per game, with a cheaper two-game rate, and the complex sells packages for corporate nights and hen and stag parties. The official site does not say how many lanes there are.
