Came here for a 200-pax corporate event in the morning that included a catered buffet lunch.
The whole place is painted black and has plenty of neon lighting and a good sound system.
Entry is only possible from 10am, so note if you're organizing your own corporate event here.
The whole premise is segregated into zones:
1. Extreme Left "aisle": Stage + Bar + Booth/Loose seatings with low bar tables + Darts
2. Left Bowling cluster : 6 lanes
3. Centre aisle: Claw machines x 3 + Arcade machines x 3 + Table Futsal + Air hockey table + Billiard table + Basket hoop machines x 3
4. Right Bowling cluster : 4 lanes
5. Extreme Right cluster – Billiard tables x 3 + 4 KTV booths
– There is no single zone that can allow everyone in a corporate event to gather and see (although they can hear) an MC talking/ prize-giving ceremony. The next best areas are the stage area and left bowling cluster.
= The bowling lanes are shorter than standard lengths. This is not really a problem, and in fact increases the "strike" rate 🙂
+ Collect your bowling shoes directly from the shelf to the right of the cashier counter. No need to approach the counter at all.
+ There are many (4) billiard tables!
+ The claw machines are free-flow, and if there's a problem (e.g. jammed toy), the technician is on stand-by.
– The seating area for each bowling lane is quite small and tight, and spaced very close to adjacent lanes.
= KTV booths – free-flow for corporate event but normal rates are $2 per song, or $6 for 15 min, $10/ 30 min, $16/ 60 min, $24/ 90min. Anything above 60 minutes is essentially charged at the same per-min rate.
+ Catered food is good and spicy options are good. Drinks from the bar are charged separately.
= Bar menu:
– Chicken bites ($18)
– Fish nuggets ($16)
– Sausage platter ($25)
– Prawn twisters w chilli mayo dip ($18)
– French fries ($14)
– Potato wedges ($15)
Tip: Toilets are the extreme right of the premise.
