For your next outing in Milton Keynes, if you’re after something a little more unique, Lane7 is worth considering. Found in Midsummer Place, Lane7 is much more than just a bowling alley in Milton Keynes. It’s a vibrant combination of retro games, street food, cocktails, and music – all in one spot. Whether you fancy grab a couple of drinks with friends, a more unique date, or just don’t want to do “go to the pub again”, Lane7 has you covered.
So, what exactly is Lane7?
On the surface, it may seem like a simple bowling alley – but once you’re inside, you’ll see there’s a lot more going on.
The space is industrial-cool with cool lighting and music – very fun for a night out. Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect:
- Bowling – It’s got proper lanes, a great atmosphere and some competitive, but friendly games.
- Arcade Games – Who doesn’t love a few old-school arcade machines? They even have air hockey and basketball hoops!
- Karaoke booths – Grab your mates and sing away (singing badly is fine!)
- Ping pong and shuffleboard – These games are great for breaking the ice or keeping the vibe high.
- Drinks – Plenty of options at the bar, from cocktails to craft beer.
- Food – Burgers, wings, loaded fries….a whole menu of essential street food, if you will.
It’s the type of place you can come to “just for a quick game”, and then stick around all night!
Why people love it
What makes Lane7 Milton Keynes stand out is how laid-back but well thought-out everything feels. It’s fun, but not childish. Stylish, but not pretentious. It’s one of those rare spots in Milton Keynes that works equally well for groups of mates, couples, and even work socials.
And because it’s indoors, it’s a solid option all year round — rain or shine.
