The Lanes

Bowling alley, karaoke bar and music venue rolled into one


The Lanes is a spacious multi-functional venue situated in the city centre on Nelson Street, a stone’s throw from fellow live music favourites Rough Trade and Strange Brew. It offers a unique mix of bowling, karaoke, club nights, live bands, and a late-night diner.

In collaboration with Bristol promoters Gravy Train and BLG, the venue hosts weekly free-entry gigs, showcasing rising national and international indie and alternative artists. Club nights are also a staple, including regular favourites like emo and pop punk night Fat Lip, motown celebration Motorcity, and the Late Night Funk Club.
