Hi Ankur, thank you for the fabulous 5* review for Tenpin Southport! We are thrilled to hear that you had an excellent birthday party celebration, and we look forward to seeing you again soon! Best wishes - Adelaide
Good venue
Good venue, layout allows for multi-purpose entertainment and large groups can be catered for. Cleaning standards appeared good and we took part in 3 games of bowling which was adequately setup and offers an element of comfort and privacy where there is padded seating benches and a plexiglass screen divider between the neighboring lanes. Drinks perhaps a little pricey but convenient to have the food and drink available under one roof.

Lane 4 - lots of ball drift. Lane felt warped.
We were using lane 4. All of the participants thought the lane was poor. Bowls drifted quite substantially to the left or right. It really impacted the enjoyment of the game for everyone.
This drift had a significant impact regardless of how fast you bowled.

Slow services and rushed off our lane!
We had our 6 year old niece with us for our 1 year olds birthday. The bowling was great fun. Sadly we ordered food that took ages to come and the drinks never arrived. When we asked staff they said the orders weren’t coming through/printing from the app. Our game finished but we were still eating and drinking. Next thing a family arrived they had been put on our lane so we had to move! Very poor service when several other lanes were free - it is not like it was busy. We had to rush and it ruined the experience in all honesty. We are unlikely to return as a result.
